characteristics of being part of a community:
Stability – long haul
Good conversation
Working through conflict
Openness to the visitor
This is why we do what we do:
We meet regularly like this in the larger group (hard for some I know – and an ongoing challenge as we grow) – say hullo and arrange to meet during the week.
We meet regularly in housegroups – small groups that meet in people’s homes.
We encourage small groups of 2 or 3 or 4 where you can hold each other accountable.
We encourage friendship and making new friends.
If you are not in a housegroup and joining with the rest of the community on a regular basis you are trying to operate without a roof over your place of sanctuary. There is no shelter from the rain and sun.
