Bases of Community In and through community lies the salvation of the world.
Nothing is more important.
Yet it is virtuallly impossible to describe community meaningfully to someone who has never experienced it - and most of us have never had an experience of true community. Today we live in relative isolation from others, both physically and emotionally. Often we don't know the names of our next door neighbors. We feel we must be strong, rugged individualists. But true community helps us overcome these defensive barriers, freeing us to express our true selves.
