Building Community in a Crowd

Lecture given Monday, June 27, 2005 at Abilene Christian University: "We live in a culture of crowds and, consequently, "crowded loneliness." All too often, our churches become a reflection of our culture in this regard among others. Being created in God's image means we were created to live in the context of community and not just a crowd. When Biblical community emerges in the midst of a crowd, explosive things can happen."
