Nancy,

This is probably the one you are referring to:

“Every human idealized image that is brought into the Christian community is a hindrance to genuine community and must be broken up so that genuine community can survive. Those who love their dream of a Christian community more than the Christian community itself become destroyers of that Christian community even though their personal intentions may be ever so honest, earnest, and sacrificial.”

I appreciate your blog and quote about not taking Christian community for granted.

I don’t still have a copy of “Life Together” and am trying to remember the quote about how being disillusioned with the community is an important place to be. Can you provide me with the exact quotation? Thanks.

thank you so much for the link! I have always been a huge advocate of churches using the online medium for communication and evangelism. I have been confused on why the church body has been so hesitant to pick up this communication medium.

Great post!
