True Community

"The key to creating or transforming community is to see the power in the small but important elements of being with others.

The shift we seek needs to be embodied in each invitation we make, each relationship we encounter, and each meeting we attend. For at the most operational and practical level, after all the thinking about policy, strategy, mission, and milestones, it gets down to this:

How are we going to be when we gather together?"

- Peter Block, "Community: The Structure of Belonging"
