“Our lack of community is intensely painful. A TV talk show is not community. A couple hours in a church pew each Sabbath is not community. A multinational corporation is neither a human nor a community, and in the sweatshops, defiled agribusiness fields, genetic mutation labs, ecological dead zones, the in-humanity is showing. Without genuine spiritual community, life becomes a struggle (that is) lonely and grim.”

-David James Duncan; God Laughs & Plays
