OK, so one of the issues that came up in our gathering this week was how we “do” life together. How much time do we spend hanging out with each other, sharing meals, etc. To some degree this has happened organically and as part of just the day to day needs we have and things going on between us. So you can imagine my interest when I found out that there are groups of folks doing this intentionally with no apparent affection for Jesus at all. I think that it is interesting to see how closely we are linked to others in the practical approaches to life. This premise is simple: times are tough, so sharing resources makes sense, and we desire to be connected to our neighbors, so living in community makes sense.

Take a look at this article which was featured on NPR yesterday:
