The term 'Church, Body of' can be represented by the four-letter word 'NAVE'. The NAVE is the central part of a church, usually the longest and widest part, where the congregation gathers for worship. It is typically flanked by aisles on either side and is separated from the sanctuary or chancel by a rood screen or altar rail. The NAVE is often the most ornately decorated part of the church, as it is the area where the congregation gathers to hear the sermon and participate in the liturgy.
