I celebrate when I find folks who are thinking along the exact same lines I am, and then they write about it much more eloquently than I could.  This article on the Sustainable Traditions blog expresses my long held beliefs that if the church could be all that God wants it to be, our world would be thriving.  http://sustainabletraditions.com/2012/03/church-as-sharing-community/

In fact, I started a forum called Church as Community which I have not followed up on–but now that I am finding more and more people talking about this as I research intentional Christian communities, I feel inspired to do some work on networking people with similar viewpoints.
