Day 35: Communality

We have been in Lexington, KY for about 4 days now. I am constantly amazed at how many cool things/places/people there are here.

Spent some time with Geoff and Sherri Maddock today. Good people. They were some of the first of those who are attempting this whole Communality thing. Oh, Communality is a faith community that does not have a specific building or mission statement or any of that stuff really. Just a group of folks who are trying to live out the way of Jesus in a quasi-neo-monastic way. Ha, did I just say that?

It was good to talk today about community and mission and diversity. There are some cool things going on here.

I'll do it. I'll come over there and spank you if I have to. Don't make me.

Hey Ryan, you say these people don't have a mission statement and then say ... "Just a group of folks who are trying to live out the way of Jesus in a quasi-neo-monastic way... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a mission a mission statement?

We all have one even if we don't articulate it ... it's either intentional or unintentional.
