#501 Spirit of Community        Frederick E. Gillis

Spirit of Community, in which we share and find strength and common 

            purpose, we turn our minds and hearts toward one another seeking to 

            bring into our circle of concern all who need our love and support: those 

            we are ill, those who are in pain, either in body or in spirit, those who are 

            lonely, those who have been wronged.  We are part of a web of life that 

            makes us one with all humanity, one with all the universe.



#580  The Task of the Religious Community  Mark Morrison-Reed

            The central task of the religious community is to unveil the bonds that bind 

            each to all.  There is a connectedness, a relationship discovered amid the 

            particulars of our own lives and the lives of others.  Once felt, it inspires us 

            to act for justice.  

            It is the church that assures us that we are not struggling for justice on our

 own, but as members of a larger community.  The religious community is 

essential, for alone our vision is too narrow to see all that must be seen, 

and our strength too limited to do all that must be done.  Together, our 

vision widens and our strength is renewed.
