More on Colvin Comment: The Church as the Body of Christ
Perhaps it would be better to simply say that God established the body of Christ ("the church"). This keeps the main emphasis on the people who make up the body and on the mysterious connection to Christ (Eph 5:32), but it does not deny that the church is manifest in institutional forms as well. Plus, "the body of Christ" is sacramentally rich.
