About this episode
In this New Year episode, Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony challenge the casual habit of saying “my church” by
reframing ecclesial identity: the Church is of God—not our possession, but the place to which we belong,
purchased by Christ’s blood (Acts 20) and built as a household on the apostolic foundation with Christ as
cornerstone (Eph. 2:18–20). They trace how the Church’s catholic “wholeness” is Trinitarian—the Body
of Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the people of the Father—made real through baptism,
chrismation, and the Eucharist. Along the way, they clarify Christ’s unique mediation (mesitēs), show
why the Church can be called “of Christ” without diminishing the Trinity, and close with Theophany’s
vivid sacramental imagery—especially the ancient practice of breathing/blowing over the waters as
participation, not mere remembrance.
