In broader context, the church can be seen as an assembly or gathering or collection of people who have pledged allegiance, or discipled themselves, to Jesus Christ. In this case, however, what is seen is a group of people who have pledged themselves to the church. With this shift in allegiance and devotion the door is now open for manipulation and abuse.
