Gospels and Acts
Life in Community
This image portrays the fellowship and unity of Christians. People of many nationalities form a semicircle gathered around a common table, with the Holy Scriptures and the Eucharist, elements of Christianity, uniting them. In the background, a small chapel on the grounds of Saint John’s Abbey (left) and the Abbey Church belltower (right) indicate the physical nature of the church community: people must be physically present together in order to become a true “church” or assembly.
