Community
After the recent departures I am left wondering what my part is in the community I belong to and what it should be.
I feel like I am being challenge to be more outward focus on people on the edge of it, but I really don’t know how to do it well. There are so many issues that are faced in doing this.
How do you invite people freely to come or not to come to things?
When do people need to just be listened to, and when does a man also need a loaf of bread?
How can I be generous without being condescending?
How do you avoid dependencies whilst reaching out to help people when they truly are in need?
How do I balance my needs with those of others?
How do I ensure that their are regular non-exclusive events for people to take part into?
How do I balance my like of personal more intimate gathering with the need for more open ones?
So really I guess it’s just the standard questions of life.
