During seminars and workshops on Small Christian
Communities (SCCs) in Musoma Diocese, Tanzania we would pose the following
situation: A stranger comes up to you on the street in Musoma Town and says: "I
am a visitor here. Would you please tell me where is the nearest Catholic
Church?" What would you tell the person? Usually there are a wide variety of
answers from "The cathedral is over there near the secondary school" to "I’ll be
glad to walk to the church with you." Participants would always be surprised to
hear that the best answer to the question "Where is the church" is to point to
oneself and say: "I am the church."
