This week we have been discussing creating community among our classmates. Our professor pointed out that we had not really defined community. I tried a dictionary definition, but it didn't really seem sufficient.
Community seems to be something that we all long for. We want to belong. I think we recognize it when we have it.
I am so glad, for example, that I belong to my church community -- both locally and globally. What a blessing to be able to find connections with people all over the world, based on shared beliefs.
We are really in the early stage of relationship in our class, I believe. We certainly do have the ability to be bonded in community, though. We have so much in common. It will be interesting to see how we feel about our connectedness when the class comes to an end in a few weeks.
