In fact, she dropped dead just outside your house one morning'. Well, it is true, and I can absolutely vouch for the story's authenticity-because it happened to me.

Community is no longer geographical.
If there is community at all, it is made up by an association, in terms of a like-mindedness. This is not always bad but it is symptomatic that the whole sense of people belonging, sharing and caring is slowly ebbing out of our society. We need something new. Jesus said that by the love we have for one another, people will know that we belong to Him. In other words, community is part of the Christian gospel.
