I am reading for my specialized ministries class. So have a quote or two from my text...
Let him who can not be alone, beware the community.... Let him who is not in community, beware of being alone.
—Dietrich BonhoefferWhat is most characteristically human about us is the tension between the desire to be "free"—self-identifying and self-choosing and to be "related"—to love and be loved.
—Paul Tillich
