A New Kind of Community Luke 15:11-31 The day before his death, President Roosevelt penned these words as he contemplated America’s next biggest challenge, “Today we are faced with the preeminent fact that if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships.” Not much has changed since 1945. Although 800 million people are on Facebook, another 200 million on Twitter, we are still trying to understand the science of human relationships. According to Harvard sociologist Robert Putman we still struggle to create meaningful relationship. Despite all our social networks, we still lack authentic community.
