No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as “what a man does with his solitude.”
It was one of the Wesleys, I think, who said that the New Testament knows nothing of solitary religion. We are forbidden to neglect the assembling of our- selves together.
Christianity is already institutional in the earliest of its documents. The Church is the Bride of Christ. We are members of one another.
By C.S. Lewis
