Churches were earthly communities that reflected a heavenly citizenship. The Greek name for church, ekklesia, has a generic meaning as a voluntary association. What we’ll discover in this video is the pagan associations for many of the civic ekklesia. Use your VR goggles or scan around with your mouse to visit the theater in ancient Ostia!
