LC1.3

Compare the characteristics of a family with the characteristics of the Church (e.g. who can belong, how do people become members, who is the head and who guides the members, what rules govern behaviour, what is the role of the group, what is the end goal of each community?) and identify ways both can be places where we learn about God. (Note: in the Church all people can be members, membership by baptism and faith; joined to Christ and the Holy Spirit, dignity because the Spirit dwells in them, the law of love, mission to witness to Christ, their destiny is the Kingdom.) [CCC nos. 781-782]
