I do not simply disagree with your comment that it is "pure and uplifting." But I wonder if the statement is, by definition, incorrect even though we did not think of it as meaning something over-elevated.

I didn't mean Christ and the Church totally in the way the LC meant it. I just mean it's about as generic as you can get, besides saying "God and his people," I guess.

I know the LC elevated the Church to almost deity level. But that's not what I meant. I just meant if you stick to Christ and his Church when describing what God is doing it's hard to go wrong. But the LC did go wrong with it, didn't they? So I guess that blows my theory out of the water.
