One of the best parts of R3 is when I hear from readers.  And today was no exception.  Last week I wrote about the importance of community, and Beth Lorow of ex(PR)essed – the best named blog on the internet – added her thoughts to that: 

You know…my experience with community is that the church, or at least what it’s supposed to be, provides community no matter the location. I certainly didn’t feel a sense of community right after I packed up and moved to Harrisburg. But, eight years later, and I’m starting to feel those bonds. And it’s ok that it took that long because for many years it was just me and God. And that was ok too. He prepared me so that I would really savor/relish/embrace community once I found it.
