"It’s time for us, as the Church to get off our high horse and help the man in the ditch who is dying as the religious walk on by him.  It’s time that we lose our religious piety and pick up the Cross of Jesus (His life and His death) and we start feeding the poor, clothing the naked and freeing the prisoners."

Exactly. This is the humble realization I came to after my fall from ministry. Often, churches are quick to dismiss those within their congregation who fall or stumble. I've heard pastors call them "blessed subtractions". But when a man or woman goes overboard on our ship, it is our duty to go after them. 

You're right, we are a community, not a building. Great post.
