| “A community is a group of people
who are socially interdependent, who participate together in discussion
and decision making, and who share certain practices that both define the
community and are nurtured by it” (Robert Bellah, et.a., Habits of the
Heart. Berkeley: University of California Press, 333. |

| “A community is a group of two
or more people who have been able to accept and transcend their differences
regardless of the diversity of their backgrounds (social, spiritual, educational,
ethnic, economic, political, etc.).This enables them to communicate effectively
and openly and to work together toward goals identified as being for their
common good.” (Foundation for Community Encouragement <http://www.ccsi.com/~jack/FCE-Described.html>) |
