I've exagerated the photo alittle.
The backbone of the church - the people, those which support it and in fact create its existence. The building itself, in this case becuase of its size, has a backbone too.
When something supports - when it holds something up, it is often (when everything is going well) forgotten. It is the last place you look, the last place you see a problem. I often wonder whether it is the backbones of some, perhaps many, things that require fixing, cleaning or reordering, in order to create a better thing in itself.
