President Bush provides a great quote on communities during his speech during his commencement address at Calvin College:

Our Founders…gave us instead a society where individual freedom is anchored in communities. And in this hopeful new century, we have a great goal: to renew this spirit of community and thereby renew the character and compassion of our nation.

I minister not to do this for the nation, but instead for the kingdom.

I know because Tod told me so.
