The Spirit is inviting us to set aside our idealised images of community, because true community in Christ involves us in all the realities of human relationships. The Spirit is inviting us to attend once again on faithful practices and on being stretched and on our steady, prayerful need for grace in the life we share together. In essence, the Spirit now bids us to enter a form of being and acting that has no limits.
It is calling us to grow in our life with the community that is both fashioned and led forth by the Living Christ.
- Stephen V. Doughty in "Discovering Community"
