The only animals that can be detected by satellites from space are corals. In reality, they are tiny organisms with a fragile body that are particularly prevalent in the warm seas of the world.

Their apparent fragility is more than offset by their tenacity in building reefs of more than two thousand kilometres in length. The secret of the success of these corals lies in their solidarity. The union of millions of individuals is what creates the spectacular strength of their constructions.

Just think of how many things we Christians could do if only we were united!
