I have tried before to write as if everyone is in the same church as me but it doesn't work because people keep reminding me that we are a denomination. I dont think people here would want me to think of them as being part of the recovery.
Even if you were in the recovery in a certain locality I might use the word we to refer to my church.

Evangelical, the reason people wouldn't want you to think of them as being "part of the recovery" is because there is
no such thing. There is no "the recovery." There is no "we." There is just the church, the Body of Christ. You are part of it, and I am part of it. Every time you say "we, we, we," every time you say, "part of the Recovery," or "join the recovery," or "join the LSM," you make the church something smaller than it is.
The church is all the believers. Don't you want that?
