First paragraph of the introduction:
The church can be likened to many things. It can be likened to a vineyard, or a human body. I will liken it to a hospital. In many respects the church is indeed a hospital. It is an institution that hosts lots of people with different types of spiritual conditions needing attention. Its medical staff would be the spiritually gifted members of the church led by the consultants, the elders. For spiritual healthcare, I cannot think of an institution better suited than the church.
