Community is people coming together...
it is a sense of unity...
it is a commitment to one another...
it is about communication and communion together...
it is about cooperation and mutual support...
it is about inclusion of all, equally...
it is about looking out for the most vulnerable among us...
it is about human beings caring for human beings - compassion
it is about promoting the life of others - whatever is best for each
It is NOT about uniformity...
It is NOT about cliques...
It is NOT about property values...
It is NOT about nice, manicured lawns and flawless buildings...
It is NOT about preserving self over others...
It is NOT about keeping the right people in and the right ones out...
It is NOT about controlling others...
It is NOT about homogeneity out of xenophobia, ethnocentrism, racism,
homophobia, classism, nationalism, religious beliefs or income level
Many neighborhoods do not understand this.
Many churches do not understand this.
Community. Come, unity.
Pastor Jamie
