Organic Community (emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith): Creating a Place Where People Naturally Connect

by Joseph R. Myers, Randy Frazee (Foreword by), Bill Donahue (Foreword by)

Overview

Community is a fundamental life search and one of the key aspects people look for in a congregation. But community can't be forced, controlled, or easily created. The problem, says Joseph R. Myers, is that churches are too focused on developing programs instead of concentrating on environments where community will spontaneously emerge.

Organic Community challenges key leaders to become environmentalists--people who create or shape environments. Outlining nine organizational tools for creating a healthy environment, Myers shows readers how to diagnose their current situation and implement patterns that will develop possibilities for healthy communities.
