This morning I read a short blog post on Common Grounds entitled, “What does authentic Christian community look like?”
In it, Meghan Gouldin asks us to finish the sentence: “Authentic Christian community____________________.”
It’s what each of us living in community grapples with daily. At least I hope we do.
