The Primitive Church

St. John Chrysostom speaks of the primitive Church as follows: "The church at that time was heaven, and now it is only a sign." In the primitive Church, the care and concern for building heavenly temples were so great that everyone wanted to make a church out of their home, as Chrysostom says in the 36th homily on the first Epistle to the Corinthians: “Then the houses were also temples, now the church is a house, and even worse than any home. - St. Dimitri of Rostov
