In a context of scandal and decline, the Christian church cannot afford to do business as usual. It must regain its bearings and clarify its nature and purpose. Sacrificing the Church provides this clarity by returning to the church''s foundation: Jesus Christ and him crucified. It presents an ecclesiological vision in which every aspect of the church''s life flows from and expresses the one sacrifice of Christ.

By and as Christ''s sacrifice we are introduced into the divine life.
