a.) Yes, church is my hope in anything. It is the only idea I can turn to when it seems like I have
nobody. It never fails to give me light even in my darkest journey.

b.) Church in my own perspective is not a building where Christian religious activities were held.
Also, It is not just the group of people that agrees in particular believe. It is anybody who let's
God live in them despite of the fact that they are not worthy to be where God is. It is a Christian
body though not Holly but having a very strong wall of faith against anything that tries to destroy
it. It is a person who let's God live in him/her w/out any doubt.

c.) It can be effective through adapting in present changes. Embrace more new ways of
spreading the words of God like social media and other ways that could easily reach the people
specially the youth.. Youth may consist small percentage of today's population but they will
consist 100% of our future. The future that will be responsible of continuing the life of
Christianity.

a.) Yes, I believe in the Church.

b.) Church is not a building or a structure for we people who believe in God is the church .
Church can be perceive as the bridge to God in which we can connect to Him as His children. I
believe not in a physical structure of a church, but those who have faithful hearts. Our body is a
church because our faith lives is nurtured with in us through constant prayer and living the way
God wants our lives to be lived.

c.) Church can affect our life in different aspect specially in our spiritual life . It reminds us that
there is God whom we can worship and offer our life for .His will is bigger than our plans for
ourselves. The church reminds us of who we are and where we should be, a faithful servant and
a follower of Christ.

BESOY
THEO 2-SJRS

1. Yes

2. The Church does not only represent the building/infrastructure where people go to pray.
Rather, it depicts the people itself who have faith and belief in the Triune God.
Through baptism, we become part of the Church (Christian Community). Christ our Lord is the
head and we are the other parts of the body. We have our own roles and missions to
accomplish/perform. It is through the church that our spiritual life is nurtured. It can be nurtured
by constant prayer and by receiving the sacraments. There are sacraments because there is
Church. There is Church because God wants to continue His saving mission on earth. Without
Christ/God, there is no Church.

3. The Church will become effective in our lives today if she is open to adjust/adopt to the signs
of times. Because most of the people today are stucked online, the church must go there. She
must make use of the advancements today as means to evangelize people especially the youth.
I also suggest that the church will target first the married couples to be evangelized (like Family
Life Apostolate). In that way, once they are tapped, they will be the ones to encourage their
children to go to church. I also suggest that every parishes will send some pf their parishioners
in PFT and BEC trainings. I think people don’t join or participate in BEC because it is not clear
to them what it is and what they can benefit from it. If people are convinced that they can benefit
from it, for sure they will participate and join the BEC
