The various parts of the Mystical Body operate as one. Jane as an ear in the Body of Christ is a very thoughtful person who thinks things out carefully and always makes a positive contribution. Her skillful listening and attentive hearing help settle disputes between others. Bill as a hand is quite different in the Household Body. He is a doer rather than a talker. He responds generously and quickly to others' needs by mending a washer or carrying a bag of food to a needy family. God uses the differences between Jane and Bill to do his work more fully.
Adrian Plass humorously considers this question in his "Sacred Diary." "Anne started by saying that she thought she was probably a bit of dried skin on the elbow, but Edwin, bless him, said that he thought she was much nearer the heart than that." "Thynn said he was a left shoulder blade for some obscure reason, and Norma Twill said she thought she might be a dimple. Couldn't think what I was, and dismissed Thynn's assessment of me as a small, unimportant vein in the right foot."1
