BLJ - CH 15...living with freaks

How do we go about developing and integrating ourselves into community? There are so many aspects that influence our assimilation.
Do you struggle with living in community?
Do you find out the things that make you who you are (good and bad) as you learn and grow in your experience of bonding with others?

Read through these questions:
1. From our reading, and your experience, how would you define “living in community”?
2. Tell about a community, that you have been involved in, and how it has changed you.
3. Do you think it important to be connected to a faith community?
4. How do you see yourself, as connected to our faith community, The Quest?
5. Think about this to yourself:
-What role do you have in your community?
-Is that role about you? Or are you dying to your “self” in an effort to, as Bill put it, “follow Jesus as we serve others”?
-Do you have a bubble that keeps you from becoming part of the community?
6. What are some steps we can take to become better integrated into our community?
