The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ Still Matters in an Age of Anxiety, Division, and Radical Individualism:

“Institutions are far from perfect, and the church is no exception. However, at their best, they are external and shared ways of embodying community, ritual, meaning, and purpose so that anyone who wants to be invited in, can be.”
