One and True

When we talk of the one true Church we are inferring there are others less true, and maybe some that are even false, but there is no one truth and not one approach to God or a single way in which God comes nearer to us.  There is no "only way" in which we approach each other.  I suppose the one and true aspects slipped in at a time when we were less secure, and wondering how we might compare with others.  It is that insecurity that makes us pre-emptive in our criticism, like children wondering how they match up with others and needing to resort to exaggeration lest reality not suffice.  When we don't need to be the one and true anymore we will then be closer to the center of where we find God.
