1. A picture of the Earth should suffice.
Ah, so you view is the planet Earth IS Christianity and the church that is one, holy, catholic, communion of saints. Okay....
2. What I think is important with this, is that we belong to a church founded by an Apostle. After all it is Paul that said to do this in his writings.
None currently exists. The closest you can get is a congregation in Antioch - there is one there that seems to be able to trace itself to an Apostle (although I don't remember which) - although it's entirely unsubstantiated. And why would a congregation with a history going back to one of the Apostles make it THE one, holy, catholic, communion of saints? Why would it make that legal entity the whole of Christianity, the whole of the community of all believers - past and present? What about the Pope - he isn't that congregation.
