So the whole discussion thing didn't quite work like I planned last time--I'm trying a new approach here. This Sunday night (6pm Lutheran Student Center) we are jumping in to round II of ESC (escape) and talking about community. I think it will be a great look at what it is we call community. As always, I don't think it'd hurt to give our little brains a head start so we can think about this stuff for more than 2 seconds before we feel like we have to give an answer. This also gives those of you who can't be there a chance to weigh in on the issues.Here's what I want to know: I feel like we talk about community in the context of the Church a lot. We use language like "get connected," "have fellowship," "join," "belong," etc. There are a lot of other ways to have community. I have a couple hundred friends on Facebook. What do I need the Church for? Is that the Church?
What's the big deal about community?
