Why We Live in Community cover

In this work, Arnold and Merton add their voices to the discussion of what real community is all about: love, joy, unity and the great adventure of sharing in a common search. Neither writer describes (or prescribes) community, but they provide a vision to guied our seeking.Everyone’s talking about “community” these days. Arnold and Merton say it can be lived, too. In this time-honored manifesto, Arnold and Merton add their voices to the vital discussion of what real community is all about: love, joy, unity, and the great “adventure of faith” shared with others along the way. Neither writer describes (or prescribes) community here, but they do provide a vision to guide our search. For both the uninitiated seeker and the veteran, this book offers guidance – and a disarming call to a renewed commitment and a deepened faith.

One of the most challenging statements on community that I have ever read. Its radical God-centeredness makes it not only very demanding, but also very inviting, comforting, and reassuring. -- Henri J. M. Nouwen
It would be foolhardy to try to distill the message of this book. It is already distilled, crystal clear… beautifully designed and produced, a pleasure to hold, see, and read. -- Tom Cornell, The Catholic Worker
