I believe in Community in which members share with one another the truth of who they are in personality, story, and beliefs/vision. At the cost and miraculous subsequent recovery of dignity, members share what's truly on their hearts. In so doing, hearts are knitted together. In the freedom to speak one's heart is the freedom to be changed. This obedient humility may be tempted to falter when faced with the inevitable blunders guaranteed in the family paradigm, but without such a laying aside of formal caution, Community is only an activity, neither satisfying nor healing nor testing, but merely occupying. It is a misrepresentation of Christ's body when members are not so knitted together, and the fault is not the Head's (who through mysterious and wonderful ways draws obedient hearts closer to Himself) but the members, unwilling to account for their selves before an assembly of fellow believers.

May God's people love one another with the rich mercy God has first showed them, loving one another with the deep heart that Joseph felt for his brothers, who had not even loved him as brothers should; loving one another as Jesus loved his disciples and all his brothers.
