Take a breath and let it out slowly. And again. Breathing is amazing, isn't it? From the first gasp to the last, breathing is the source of life animating your body.

Living in community is like breathing together. It is sharing life together.

But what happens when members in the community separate themselves from the rest, as if they aren't all connected?

Today we look at what happens when someone stops breathing with the community.
