"Jesus didn't start a church...."

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, His proxy, as it were, to found the church that his disciples hadn't quite come to terms with earlier, especially before his Death and Resurrection. But they -- Peter, James in Jerusalem, etc., -- were ready to people their community with names, faces, teachings, etc., once Pentecost rolled around. Thus the birthday of the Church is Pentecost, when Christ's followers were rekindled, as it were, to spread the Gospel to all nations. The distance or time between/among the Three Persons of the Trinity, however, was left to us, not to Them. The Trinity -- in unity with each other -- was in sync with this foundation from the very beginning, as St. John's Gospel proclaims: "In the beginning was the Word," the Word that carries the length and depth of time and eternity with it and isolates us, as it were, with His foundation of Love to renew the face of the earth.
