AC 4433 - internal things within external ones

AC 4433
. . . unless there are internal things within external ones,
that is, unless people think
of internal things when they are in external ones,
and unless they are affected at the same time
by the internal things,
or at least unless they are affected
by external things for the sake of internal things,
there is not anything of the church.
For internal things make the church,
because the Lord is in these;
for in these are the spiritual and celestial things
which are from Him.
