Local embodiment of the whole
A local church which conceives its function to be entirely that of ministering to the conscious desires and concerns of its members tends to look on everything ecumenical as an extra, not as a normal aspect of its own life as a church.
It would doubtless be greatly surprised to be told that in failing to be ecumenical it is really failing to be the Church of Christ.
