As a person whe joined the Episcopal church after many years of being "unchurched", and is now seeking ordination - the individual path of a person is as crucial as the community that a church offers. The Trinity is beyond human comprehension - therefore how a person chooses to perceive them is really an individual "illusion" of something that we cannot fathom except to create our own images that work for us. Faith is what matters, regardless of visualization.

Church is community, a sense of corporate faith and philosophy that allows a person to worship in a way they feel most comfortable. Episcopalians are famous for the breadth of thought that they are comfortable in dealing with - but in all cases, each person is a church unto themselves because no one believes identically to anyone else.
