Fake fellowship. This is what we try to pass off as "Community". What a crock.
"Looking back, I sometimes wonder if we really were a “community.” Seems like what we were facilitating was mostly meeting—based relationships. People would attend services, classes, programs, and groups, but outside the scheduled meeting time, there wasn’t much interaction between these people the rest of the week until the next meeting rolled around. When the class or group came to an end, for all practical purposes so did the “relationships.”
