A post & discussion on “Leading Dying Churches”:http://ldc.dashhouse.com/archives/000785.html led me to an great quote and article in Christianity Today:

bq. Many churches have a superficial idea (and experience) of community. Christian community is easily mistaken for mere cordiality, courtesy, or sociability. It easily becomes least-common- denominator “fellowship,” not much different from the Kiwanis or a neighborhood potluck. Often so-called Christian community is marked by nothing that is specifically Christian and nothing that challenges the values of surrounding pagan society. —“Howard A. Snyder, Authentic Fellowship”:http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/010/28.102.html. Christianity Today, October 7, 2003
