My friend, Brian, over at The Faithful Skeptic has been having a great conversation about the nature of church community in a world in which concepts of community are changing radically. Check it out. Part I and Part II.

I very much enjoyed your comment about recognizing all missions of congregants-- I've thought for some years that more than a few pastors assume that church members do no useful work of God unless they do so through the church. (Actually, I think that developing a congregation of members who would take every single person they met seriously as a valuable child of God would be a tremendous success!)
As a concept, intentional communities make me rather itchy, but it would all depend on the breadth and generosity of the intention, I suppose....
See you tomorrow!
