Here’s a great quote by Doug Pagitt, the pastor of Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis. You can read the entire article here.

“Community is not the endgame for me. The endgame is for us to become a people who are able to live out the aspirations and hopes and dreams of God in the world. I don’t think that’s possible to do without being in community with each other, but ‘community’ is not the goal. We think it’s essential for people to live harmoniously with each other and with God, but that’s not the end of the game.”
