Celebrating Community
The themes of the book are central and important, not only for Lee Abbey because they are part of their story, their mission and their identity, but also for all communities and dare I say for all Christians. Community and hospitality, worship, healing of hearts, living diversity, conflict management, formation of leaders, responding to the needs of young people. These themes reveal a vision and some very down-to-earth insights that can be useful and even necessary for all communities however different they may be.
