The Body of Christ is a metaphor used by the local churches to describe the synchronicity between different localities and God. In this, God is the head and the people who make up the Church in each locality are termed "members of the body." The "members of the body" may look different and/or may perform different functions, but they all work as one under the will of the head (God). For example, a person who is a gifted orator is encouraged to use his or her talents to act as a mouthpiece for God. Other such personal strengths would be similarly applied towards the "expression of Christ." In this way people can be functioning and active members of the "Body of Christ."
