The Common Area
Think about this place as the lobby (or the narthex, or the parish hall,if that makes more sense to you). This is where we make introductions, talk about the structure and workings of The Community itself, and suggest other topics for conversation. Conversations that begin here may be transferred to other forum topics, or develop into new topics.

Let’s face it. No one had to show up this morning.
Our society does not demand that any of them be here this morning. It doesn’t even demand that you be here this morning. There are lots of other good things to do. There are many other places to be fulfilled; other churches, temples, charity runs and nature walks to name a few. There is sleep. There are yummy eggs benedict and fun purple rubber ducks.
