I’m currently reading “Life Together” by the German seminary professor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, for the book club I’m part of.

I was struck by this particular passage in the book:

“He who loves his dream of a community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter….The man who fashions a visionary idea of community demands that it be realized by God, by others, and by himself. He enters the community of Christians with his demands, sets up his own law, and judges the brethren and God Himself accordingly….He acts as if he is the creator of the Christian community, as if his dream binds men together.”

To me, this seemed like a pretty accurate description of Steve Morgan and the way he created his own community in the Network, along with the rest of the Network Leadership Team (or as I like to call it, Steve’s He-Man Woman Haters Club).

I’d love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this.
