Can we really say we believe this?
".... And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church;..."
I recite this every week along with brothers and sisters at the local congregation where we worship and commune with the one true and living God. And every week I'm a little saddened when it comes time to say this part of the Creed.
Our 'individualistic' tendencies don't just involve the individual. We exhibit a type of individualism when we think of our local congregation or our denomination as "the Church" and fail to properly discern the whole body of Christ.
We can say we believe in "one holy catholic and apostolic Church" all we want, but until we start living it we don't really believe it!
