Cultivating Christian Community
By Thomas R. Hawkins
Hawkins identifies 6 qualities of Christian community. Christian community: practices hospitality, creating a safe space where different people feel welcomed, affirmed, made visible, and valuable; is centered on Christ; practices the means of grace; occurs when we find healing and wholeness; invites us to discover our unique gifts for ministry; and equips us to live out our baptismal covenant, sharing in GodŐs work of healing and restoring all creation.

Hawkins identifies practices that help cultivate Christian community in small groups: listening, dialogue, discernment, covenant making, prayer and reflection, and hospitality.
