Calling And Community

There is much emphasis in some Churches on "community". There is in fact a theology of community -- for example Stanley Grenz (Theology for the Community of God, 2000). I consider that it is not healthy if one's emphasis shifts too far towards "community" -- if one should emphasise community at all. Community is a by-product of the calling of the Church. It fails as a focus. However, it is an important by-product.
