The concern here is not to get two or three random people to agree together. What we are talking about is building community together as the people of God. In Christian community, there are certain expectations peculiar to the community to which participants must adhere. In Christian community, there is a procedure for confrontation of those who step outside those expectations. What makes a Christian community? The bottom line is love. This is not just a good feeling at being together. This is not about tyrants trying to beat people into submission. It is about commitment to each other and to God.
