What Part of The Body of Christ Am I? #BodyOfChrist #Purpose #Inclusion #InTheLoop #Church #Congregation

We are each a part of the body of Christ---the Anointed nuts-&-bolts, bones-&-joints, bricks-&-mortar of the God-machine. Seems to me that the Holy Spirit makes each part of the body equally 'sovereign' (i.e. directly-connected to the operational brain ... (... not necessarily the 'reasoning' brain, but the part that gives orders whether they're connected to 'reason' or not) Seems to me that--because of that omnipresent sovereignty--'the more-central parts' (the neck, the shoulders, etc.) bear a responsibility to send their sensation-information & action-commands to all the parts which their actions change the operation of. (E.g. if a leading pastor's presence affects 'whether-or-not a meeting will take place,' she/he bears a responsibility to see that this information is delivered to ALL parts of their congregation.) However, I feel cut-off from the body---like the limb of a brain-injured body, sometimes connected & sometimes not. This might be because I don't tie myself to one "church" (in the 'specific group of gatherers in one specific place'-sense) ... although the disconnected feeling may be part of the reason I DON'T tie myself to one "church." Maybe I'm a blood-cell, carrying Anointed information from body-area to body-area (Anointed because ... well, it IS The Blood of The Body of Christ. Maybe the blood-cells are the truth of angels---not 'supernatural' (any more than humans are themselves supernatural), but truly God's 'messengers' (translation of the historical root of the word 'angel'). But I think I'm human. A co-child-of-God, co-heir with Christ ... so why don't other co-heirs tell me what's up?
