The true church is made of living stones; and Melchizedek might argue for its unbroken existence? Dunno there, but i'd take for granted that any answer you come up with that most of your peers agree with is at least highly suspect, no offense intended.

By "church" I mean ekklesia ie an assembly. By "true church" I mean an assembly of people actually called and sanctified by the grace of God into new covenant relationship with Him through faith as taught by the apostles.
