salvation

Called out of Slavery

The Church is the people of God.  The Latin word for "church," ecclesia, comes from
the Greek ek, which means "out," and kaleo, which means "to call."  The Church is
the people of God called out of slavery to freedom, sin to salvation, despair to
 hope, darkness to light, an existence centered on death to an existence focused
 on life.

When we think of Church we have to think of a body of people, travelling together.
 We have to envision women, men, and children of all ages, races, and societies
supporting one another on their long and often tiresome journeys to their final
home.
