When people ask me, "Why Perry County?" the answer is easy, because it's my home!
I have lived in Perry County since I was 3 years old and I loved every minute of growing up here. I have fond memories of playing softball games, wading in Windy Creek, picnicking at the local parks, going for bike rides around town, swimming at JFK Pool, Girl Scout camp at Camp Koch, and many more!

Recently, a committee working to better downtown Tell City asked for the public's opinion about ways to make our Main Street more attractive to tourists and to our residents, as well. And it was good to see the community respond. The ideas and suggestions that were given to the committee members were published in the May 23 issue of The News.
MARENGO – The Indiana Department of Transportation said a portion of Indiana 66 in Crawford County will close today.
Railroad crews were to close it between the junctions of Interstate 64 and Indiana 64 for repairs to the crossing.
Crews were to begin work at approximately 12 p.m. and re-open the road by 12 p.m. Wednesday.
CANNELTON – Cannelton elementary officials will release scores from spring Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress exams at an informational meeting for parents Tuesday.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in the Myers Grade School cafeteria.

TELL CITY — A man suspected of stealing copper from ThyssenKrupp Waupaca triggered a brief manhunt June 11.
According to the Perry County Sheriff's Department, Deputy Jason Shadwick received a call that evening that Jeremy B. Kirkman, an employee of WGS working at the local foundry, reported for work when he was not scheduled and was confronted by a supervisor.
A short time later, Shadwick was told that copper was hidden in a bag in Kirkman's possession. Kirkman fled into nearby woods when confronted by Shadwick.
PERRY COUNTY — Jumping from local bridges will soon land summertime thrill-seekers in hot water.
Sheriff Lee Chestnut said last week he and department deputies will begin writing citations to people caught jumping from bridges on state and county roads. The practice has been common for decades, especially at embayments near Rocky Point. Deer Creek and other tributaries of the Ohio River offer relief from heat but it's also illegal, Chestnut said.
TELL CITY – The Tell City Water Department is sending out its annual consumer-confidence reports this week, said Dale Poole, superintendent for the department.
The report, which informs customers of the quality and status of city water, is mandated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and must be sent to water customers each year. Any customer who doesn't receive a copy of the report can get it at the Water Department office in City Hall.

Personnel guidelines for the handling of occurrences of inappropriate behavior:
Handling such occurrences in the appropriate manner may be challenging and intimidating. Several decisions are involved when choosing the appropriate mode of action and include the following:
- Where to confront the incident – DO not allow yourself to be isolated in an office or separate classroom.
- Who or what to take along – Do not take anything that would appear or be perceived to be a defensive weapon which might escalate the situation. DO take something such as a sheet of paper, magazine. This gives you something to do with your hands. Alert other staff regarding the situation before you go.
- What to say – THINK about what you will say ahead of time. Stay calm and speak simply – being direct and impersonal. Approach the patron slowly and give the person plenty of space. Keep something such as a table, chair or desk between yourself and the patron. Do not respond emotionally. Concentrate on the problem resolution using active listening. Respond with acknowledgement of the patron's viewpoint.
- Use your skills of evaluation and as soon as you perceive a safety issue or before you become upset, CALL security.
- Other staff who have been made aware of an impending stressful encounter should accept the responsibility of observing the incident and calling security, if necessary.

Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany, 2010/01/20 - Android is Google's new operating system for mobile devices, which also offers new possibilities concerning the timetable information system HAFAS by HaCon.
Android is Google's new operating system for mobile devices, which also offers new possibilities concerning the timetable information system HAFAS by HaCon. Although the number of devices currently on the market is still manageable, soaring numbers are expected: Finally, the features are not less comfortable than those of the iPhone. In addition, Android will provide a good opportunity for software. Through the open operating system other applications can easily be connected. In particular, maps like Google Maps are easy to integrate. Moreover, good hardware characteristics allow connecting a compass, for example.
For the mobile timetable information the software specialist HaCon from Hanover has fully ported HAFAS Mobile and adapted to the look and feel of Android. All HAFAS Mobile or Hafas2go features, such as timetables, connections or maps, including Google Maps, are included and have now been expanded: an interactive map with powerful GPS input connection and an improved tracking radar function. A magnetic compass helps to find the right direction.
Take off interactively with just one click.
Faster results with an optimum of orientation that is the goal of the new Match-Me-function HAFAS for Google Android. Therefore, the system offers an optional built-in mini-map. During the search query the appropriate map is opened in parallel. Bus stops, metro stations and taxi stands and points of interest are displayed with just one click. By locating the person or by manually entering the site, HAFAS shows the exact distance and even the direction of the nearby stations.
This proper orientation option also works in reverse. And that is exactly the trick. Thus, the user can specify exactly where he is located. The map of that area shows up immediately. It provides information on all bus stops in the area with information on departure times of individual lines. So, the passenger knows at a glance where the next bus or train departs. In addition, the system displays the exact run of the lines.
HAFAS for Google Android can be experienced live at the IT-TRANS from February 24th to 26th. There, HaCon (hacon.de) presents its latest developments around the timetable information system HAFAS. In the Conference Centre in Karlsruhe, HaCon is represented at a joint stand (Level A, Booth E6) with PTV Planung Transport Verkehr AG from Karlsruhe.

text: I put this on another thread but no replies so far so perhaps it was hidden. Please help as I'm baffled by this. I recently tried the bleach-bypass process and certainly got some of the expected results - muted colours and increased grain. Something else I experienced was an increase in residue on the film after drying. I am not sure that the process I used and the outcome are connected but that was the only difference that I can put my finger on. The same water, temperature, etc., but an increase in something that has left some of the negs unusable. Is this a likely outcome or should I be looking elsewhere for the problem? I have since washed the negs again - water and then water & photoflo for good measure but it didn't make any difference. Thanks in advance, Stuart

Ice cream entrepreneur shares credo with students
Broke and sick of their jobs, longtime friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield decided to open an ice cream shop.
They split the cost of a $5 correspondence course on making ice cream. They copied a New York pizzeria's business plan, trading every mention of "pizza" with "ice cream," and persuaded a bank to add $8,000 to the $4,000 they had saved.
Thirty-three years after opening that first ice cream parlor in Burlington, Vt., the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream are worth millions of dollars. But money was never the goal for the hippie twosome. Soon after building the company into a nationwide ice cream distributor, they wanted out of the business.
"We felt like we were just getting to be a cog in the economic machine," Greenfield said Wednesday while delivering the keynote address at Mesa State College's Entrepreneurship Day.
A friend saved the ice cream empire by convincing Greenfield and Cohen big business didn't have to mean unethical business. The business strategy for Ben & Jerry's became to make money while improving the lives of people in the communities where Ben & Jerry's did business. By 1988, the company's annual report included a "social report" next to the financial report.
The company buys brownies for its chocolate fudge brownie flavor from a New York bakery that helps provide access to affordable housing, child care and health care for those in need. Partner shops sell Ben & Jerry's and use the profits to help youth and provide job training. They even found a way to use melted ice cream by giving it to pigs on farms.
"The only flavor the pigs didn't like was mint," Greenfield said.
The details Greenfield provided Wednesday about Ben & Jerry's social mission inspired Mesa State College business student Nathan Woods to keep in mind helping others as he pursues a business career.
"You can't place your energy on what you can do for yourself without thinking about giving something," Woods, 26, said after Greenfield's speech.
Greenfield met with Woods and about a dozen other business students before the keynote luncheon. Business student Cole Nash, 22, said Greenfield was casual and answered plenty of questions during the meet and greet.
"He covered a lot of things, but one of the main things was if you wait to be in a financial position to do what you want, you're probably never going to get there. He said we should take a leap of faith," Nash said.
Mesa State business student Andy Chung, 21, said Greenfield taught him business runs more smoothly when you select your career for entertainment value and not just to make money.
"You have to start something you like," Chung said.
The keynote luncheon, attended by hundreds of community business members and students, was just one activity during the college's annual Entrepreneurship Day, also known as E Day. The day began with four, 50-minute seminars on topics ranging from how business owners survived the recession to how to get a small business loan. Afternoon activities included a panel of Mesa State graduates telling current students what they've done in business and an idea challenge during which students could pitch business ideas to a panel of judges.
Entrepreneurship is one of the fastest-growing concentrations at the college, according to Business Department Head Morgan Bridge. Bridge said many students aren't waiting to test their entrepreneurship ideas, either.
"They have some really great ideas in a wide variety, from restaurants to new products to new services," Bridge said.

You can make your reservation at Glacier Bay Lodge in Glacier Bay National Park without fear of the lodge being closed. The National Park Service has reached a two-year extension with ARAMARK Parks and Destinations to continue operating the lodge on the shores of Bartlett Cove.
There had been concerns that the lodge would be shuttered at the end of this season due to the inability of the Park Service to reach terms with a concessionaire. When the Park Service solicited bids for the lease earlier this year, no one applied, not even ARAMARK. That led to some lobbying by Gustavus businesses, who feared closure of the lodge would impact their livelihoods.
"The Glacier Bay Lodge is a public building and our guests are in there daily," Joann Lesh, owner of the Gustavus Inn and the president of the Gustavus Visitors Association, told the Juneau Empire. "It's not just a hotel; it's a visitor center, a gift shop, they show nightly slide shows and movies. It's an investment in our community."
The concession has been operated since 2004 by ARAMARK. The property is in the southern portion of the park at Bartlett Cove, approximately 10 miles from the small community of Gustavus. Visitor access is primarily by scheduled air service on Alaska Airlines that offers summer flights from Seattle via Juneau. The Alaska Marine Highway offers Juneau - Gustavus service, although not daily. The concessionaire is required to provide ground transportation between the lodge and Gustavus.
Glacier Bay Lodge is almost 50 years old, having been constructed by the National Park Service in 1966. The lodge has 56 guest rooms connected by boardwalks to the main building that houses a lobby, restaurant, registration area, gift shop, and NPS visitor center. Eight guest rooms and three separate eight-room dormitories are utilized for employee housing.
Apparently one of the changes in the concession contract the Park Service agreed to was to reduce the daily sailings of the Baranoff Wind boat tours from seven days to six days a week. Additional services under the agreement include camper drop-offs in the bay and services associated with Glacier Bay Lodge - the restaurant, gifts, fuel sales, ground transportation to Gustavus and other services.
"I am pleased to announce that the Glacier Bay Concession operation will continue for the next two years under an extension of the existing concession contract," said Glacier Bay Superintendent Susan L. Boudreau.

The new rules do not change the medical exemption or the option for parents to decline any or all vaccines for conscientious reasons.
Some additional changes to the school and child care immunization rules make modifications in the timing of certain doses of required vaccines to match current medically acceptable standards and put early childhood programs that meet regularly for six weeks or more under the immunization rule. More details on the changes are on the MDH immunizations website (www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/immunize/immrule/newlawfs.html).

Company Being Sued For Allegedly Scamming Ohioans Who Made Donations To Charities
The Ohio Attorney General announced a lawsuit against a Massachusetts-based company accused of misrepresenting itself to Ohioans who tried to donate to charities.
Attorney General Mike DeWine said in a release on Tuesday that Integral Resources Inc. is accused of multiple violations of Ohio's Charitable Organizations Act.
"This professional solicitor misled Ohioans about who it was and how donors' money would be used," DeWine said in the release.
Integral Resources is accused of contacting Ohioans via phone to solicit for various charitable organizations and failed to notify potential donors that calls were coming from a professional solicitor instead of a charity and misrepresented how much of donors' contributions would go to the charity.
The lawsuit said the charity claimed 100 percent of a donation would go to the charity when only 1 percent of gross revenue actually went to the charity.
Integral Resources raised more than $33,000 for Amnesty International USA, but failed to make any payments to the charity, according to the lawsuit.
The Attorney General also charged the company with failing to properly register with the Ohio Attorney General's Office and breaching its fiduciary to charities.
The lawsuit seeks permanent injunctive relief, full restitution and civil penalties.
A temporary restraining order has been placed on the company which means it is not allowed to solicit in the state.
If any Ohioans receive a call from the company they are asked to call the Attorney General's Office at 1-800-282-0515.

Art can come in a variety of forms—paint carefully brushed onto a sheet of canvas or pencil marks thoughtfully scrawled onto a piece of sketch paper. Then there are the less conventional art forms. Skateboards, for example. Or a pair of sneakers. Or knuckle tattoos.
Starting this Friday, in an opening that will be part of the city's monthly Art Murmur, the stark white walls of Oakland's Rock Paper Scissors Collective gallery will be home to nearly a dozen new pieces. Artists were given free rein in their designs, so long as they stuck to one of three surfaces for their work: skateboard decks (sans wheels), pairs of sneakers, or human knuckles. (The knuckles have to be attached to living persons, which means they won't be a part of the three-week exhibit, except for opening day. After Friday, guests will have to settle for photos.)
When asked about the inspiration for the idea, Jen Zoom, a member of the volunteer-run organization, said, "I think it's the same for every exhibit—to show predominantly Oakland artists and Bay Area artists who aren't necessarily shown in other places, and be representative of our community, and have as much diversity as possible."
Most of the artists who submitted work for the exhibition gravitated to skateboard decks as their new canvas. For Jin Hei Kang, of Oakland, the exhibit was the perfect way to combine her hobby of skateboarding (evident by a sprained finger on her left hand) with her artistic nature. As Kang sat on the steps of the gallery stairs, her eyes peeking out through black-rimmed glasses, she said her full-time job as an orthopedics tech extern was merely a means of financially supporting her true passion—being an artist.
Kang, whose skateboard submissions share an underlying theme, said she believes society perceives certain animals as unfriendly, when in fact that's "just how they function in nature." Produced using a mix of spray paint, acrylic paint and oil pastels, each piece—a sea dragon preying on a school of fish, a viper fish eyeing its dinner, and an angler fish with its grizzly teeth—depicts the creatures in their natural habitat. "It's part abstract and part representational," Kang said. "I like to put those two together because I like the contrast of something that's broken down and simple, and something that is highly defined."
Sunnyvale resident and family man Kori Thompson's skateboard decks had two contrasting themes—love and fear. Behind a sky blue backdrop, a woman (who he said slightly resembles his wife) appears serene even as an outreached hand holds her heart. The second piece depicts the ferocity of a wolf up against a blood-red backdrop. Originally, Thompson said, he had intended to incorporate a human face into the piece to further signify the theme of fear, but didn't quite have enough room—an obstacle he ran into after hustling to finish his pieces the same morning he dropped them off at the gallery. Thompson, who submitted two decks for the first attempt at the exhibit, surprised himself in the last couple of years when he realized art was becoming a more serious part of his life, despite his having less time for art than ever, due to a wife and kids.
Guests entering through the glass door of the gallery at Telegraph Avenue and 27th Street will also be invited to become a temporary part of the exhibit. "We're going to have several people drawing on peoples' knuckles," said Zoom, as she sat smoking a Natural American Spirit. "And there'll be a live slideshow happening." The "photo booth" of knuckle art will showcase both real and newly-acquired fake tattoos. Screen-print images of sneakers will also be available for people to design.
The exhibit is launching as a part of October's Art Murmur, the showcase of downtown Oakland galleries and artwork on the first Friday of each month. Rock Paper Scissors was one of the eight founding organizations of Art Murmur about four years ago, and one of the few galleries that hasn't had to close its doors.
Though the recession has affected the collective, Zoom said, the current survival of Rock Paper Scissors is largely the product of the eight members, nearly a dozen volunteers and an eight-person board. That's the most they've had at any given time in the six-year history of the collective. Through fundraising with silent art auctions, holding classes ranging from silk-screening and sewing to Pilates, and selling artists' merchandise, including homemade clothing and one-of-a-kind jewelry, the collective has been able to stay afloat. But this hasn't come without setbacks.
The paper sign on the collective's gallery door has the hours listed as noon to 7 pm, every day except Monday and Tuesday. But it's not rare to find the gallery closed in the middle of the day, when volunteers have fulltime jobs and schooling that, naturally, take priority over the gallery.
The efforts of the collective have not gone unnoticed, though. A large part of the current Oakland art scene was spurred by the Rock Paper Scissors group. "We have done our best to create an accessible community space," said Zoom. "Our focus is on a creative space that shares skills, gives people an income from things they make and provides a showcase for our community."
Past exhibits are testaments to the unique nature of the collective. A few months ago, the gallery participated in the Tibetan Memorial Quilt Project, inspired by the Dalai Lama's visit to the Bay Area in April. Local quilters, volunteers and Tibetans donated time and materials and organized their efforts to make the colorful 25-patch quilt in memory of those who have died in the effort for Tibetan independence. Earlier in the summer, the gallery focused on the art of storytelling, inviting two local artists who immersed themselves in West Oakland to find what the history-rich area meant to those who live there. In May, the gallery hosted Beyond Bicycles, a celebration of art, history and science behind the simple human-powered machine.
The skateboards, sneakers, and knuckles exhibit will run from October 1 through October 22 at Rock Paper Scissors Collective's gallery located at 2278 Telegraph Ave. in Downtown Oakland. The exhibit is free of charge.

Surely this is not case head separation, is it?!
I have not shot my .308 very much. Funds made sure of that.
A week aog I went out and shot the last 20 odd factory Norma Jaktmatch 155gr cartridges and tried out my starting loads for 155gr Lapua Scenar and Hornady A-max bullets.
The details are
here in another TFL thread
A recent thread warning reloaders to check their cases prompted me to do so and I noticed the faint rings near the bottom of the cases.
The first 3 photos are from the cases that were fired as they came from the factory. The next 3 showed cases that I had reloaded once, with light loads (next post).
I am inclined to think that it is some sort of scoring from the bolt and chamber action, largely because the area below that line seems far smoother than the area above, all the way to the neck.
If it is CSH, I'll be disappointed as buying these rounds, shooting them and then using the brass is much cheaper than buying unfired Lapua or Sierra cases and loading them, plus the fact that Norma are supposed to make decent brass...
But what do you think?

The World Inequality Lab
The World Inequality Lab aims to promote research on global inequality dynamics. Its core mission is to maintain and expand the World Wealth and Income Database. It also produces inequality reports and working papers addressing substantive and methodological issues.
It is located at the Paris School of Economics and comprises a small team of about ten permanent staff members and research assistants. The World Inequality Lab works in close coordination with the large international network (over ninety researchers covering nearly seventy countries) contributing to the database and is supervised and coordinated by the same executive committee and coordination team as the WID (The World Wealth and Income Database).
In addition to the year-round updates to the database and working papers, the World Inequality Lab publishes an annual World Inequality Report. The objective is to highlight new findings and research analysis emanating from the database, and to draw implications for the global inequality debate. The World Inequality Report aims to become the reference global report on inequality and to attract extensive coverage in the international media. The first report will be published in 2017.
The First WID.world Conference will be hosted by the Paris School of Economics on December 14th and 15th, 2017.

text: June 22, 2012: Sex-selective abortion; bike racks; coal June 21, 2012 Story Share Where is Gazette on sex-selective abortion?Editor:There is a picture that has stirred the conscience of the world, but it might have escaped your attention. It is a gruesome scene of a bed in a nondescript room. On the bed lies Feng Jianmel. She looks exhausted, physically and emotionally. Sweat mats her dark hair to her face. Blood stains the sheets.Beside her is another person. Rather, the lifeless body of another person -- Feng's 7-month old baby. The baby was stillborn via a birth that was chemically induced over and against the wishes of the child's mother.That's right -- Feng was forcibly restrained, she has the bruises to prove it, and government officials then injected her with a chemical that forced her to deliver her baby. Dead.This merits your attention because you have long been an advocate of human rights. Indeed, you regularly provide readers with commentary that suggests morality is evolving in favor of greater human rights. Your commentary has suggested human rights ought to be afforded to murderous felons expecting the death penalty, to same-sex couples wishing to redefine marriage, and to society through a health-care system that upholds the evolving human right of family planning.In this, however, it's evident that the very phrase "human rights" is just a boogey man used to cover a multitude of desires and policy positions that don't square with the natural right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Therefore, I wish to remind your readers that Baby Jianmel had a right to life that China's fully evolved family-planning policy denied.Like most West Virginians, I believe that every innocent human life is worthy of protection. Sadly, however, the abortion industry does not concur. Rather, here in Charleston, the Women's Health Center of West Virginia and Kanawha Surgicenter are legally permitted to accept (and advertise for) clients who wish to abort their child simply because their baby is a female.China, Feng Jianmel's home country, actively enforces the abortion of baby girls in favor of baby boys. Are these the types of "rights" you would hold out as "evolved" to the readers of West Virginia's newspaper of record?We eagerly await your commentary, and hope you will join most West Virginians in standing guard over innocent human life. Jeremiah G. Dys, Esq.,President and General Counsel,The Family Policy Council of West VirginiaCharleston Charleston needs more bike racksEditor:I recently moved to Charleston and was excited to learn about my new home and the community event, FestivALL.I picked up a brochure for the East End Garden Tour at the Bluegrass Kitchen on Saturday and grabbed my bike for a great afternoon touring the area. I stopped by the downtown library and a post office and I didn't have to worry about where to park my bike.Capitol Street, the post office and the library were all amazingly bike-rack equipped. Sunday, I rode my bike to the Civic Center for Taste-of-ALL, but I found no bike rack. I saw one bike chained to a light post, but I figured that might not be legal. I rode my bike around the mall, too, with no luck. I left because I felt awkward about asking where I could legally park nearby.In 2010, the Sustainable Kanawha Valley Initaitive funded 20 bike racks in South Charleston for roughly $3,000. That's $150 per rack. It would be great if the Civic Center and mall invested in a small (easy-to-find) bicycle-friendly parking area for those who choose alternative modes of transportation but still spend their dollars around Charleston.Stacy GlossCharleston Hooray to Jay for coal speechEditor:Hooray to Senator Rockefeller for his recent speech to Congress on the inevitability of phasing out coal as a chief source of energy.Unlike Senator Manchin and Congresswoman Capito, he recognizes the value of the EPA's anti-pollution regulations that protect all of us.And like Senator Byrd, who came late to political wisdom, Senator Rockefeller deserves high praises for acknowledging the economic and scientific realities of energy usage.Kathryn A.

SHODDY paintwork on new lights in Bognor Regis town centre is to replaced.
Arun District Council has pledged to ensure the current two-tone patchy finish will go.
A council spokeswoman said: "We are aware of this issue. The paintwork on the lampposts was slightly damaged during delivery and installation so a temporary repair was carried out using the darker paint.
"These areas will now be repainted using the correct colour paint.
"Any other defects spotted will be rectified as part of the process of bringing phase one of this project to a close and letting the public enjoy the improved London Road pedestrian area."
Criticism of the standard of the paint immediately after the 11 lights were put in along the precinct was made this week by district and county councillor Francis Oppler.
He said the quality of the finish of them let down the town. The 11 structures were put in over the past few weeks as part of the closing stages of the scheme of some £600,000 by Arun.
Cllr Oppler (LD, Orchard) said the lampposts, along the precinct's western side, were of poor quality.
"First of all, battleship grey is possibly the dullest colour which could have been chosen.
"We are a seaside town and the colour should have been bright and sunny and not a reminder of a grey day.
"The finish of the metalwork is absolutely dreadful. You can see the manufacturer's weld marks and where the manufacturer has touched up scratches in a darker grey.
"Even from a distance, you can see the pitted marks.
"That just does not happen in any other town of a similar nature.
"It's a lack of quality and it lets the town down."
But he acknowledged the scheme had benefited the town. "The work that has been done has improved the precinct over what it was previously," he said.
"I very much welcome the greening with all the trees that have been planted."
Arun's contractor was finishing the precinct work this week.

The depths of community…
Today, it is fashionable to talk about community. Everyone wants community. Followers of Jesus Christ want community. People who do not follow Jesus Christ want community. In discussing the desire of "the younger generation" for community, Dallas Willard said:
That's an expression of their loneliness. But most of them don't know what community means because community means assuming responsibility for other people and that means paying attention and not following your own will but submitting your will and giving up the world of intimacy and power you have in the little consumer world that you have created. They are lonely and they hurt. They don't know why that they think community might solve that, but when they look community in the face and realize that it means raw, skin to skin contact with other people for whom you have become responsible…that's when they back away. (HT: Provocative Church)
If Willard is correct, and I tend to think he is correct at this point, then I must qualify my earlier statements. Everyone wants community, as long as the community is comfortable for them and of immediate benefit for them. People are willing to pay the price for a certain kind of community, as long as there is a tangible return on their investment. However, once the cost becomes too high, or the return becomes too small, then we naturally return to self-sufficiency and self-reliance and leave the community to fend for itself.
What is the cause of "backing away", as Willard calls it? What causes the cost of community to become too prohibitive or the return from the community to become too small? There can be only one answer: sin. And, not the sin in the community, although sin will always be present within the community – we should never be surprised about that. No, it is the sin of the individual that causes him or her to "back away".
Whether this sin manifests itself in self-centeredness, selfishness, anger, impatience, etc., the root of the sin is almost always pride. It is pride that causes the individual to consider himself and his desires and his opinions above and more important than the others within the community.
There is a depth to community that can only be plumbed through the empowerment and submission to the person of the Holy Spirit. The scriptural exhortations to consider others as better than yourselves, to confess your sins to one another, to accept and welcome one another, to bear with and forgive one another, to care for and give to one another, and – as Jesus put it – to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him can only be understood and realized via the work of the Holy Spirit in and through the life of a child of God.
There is a misconception that community is built around uniformity: people who believe alike, act alike, respond alike, desire alike, etc. However, uniformity will not create the type of community in which God calls us to live. This is evident in the constant exhortation for believers to bear with one another, forgive one another, have patience with one another, and consider others as more important than themselves. Thus, the authors of Scripture recognize that there would be relational frictions between believers. This relational frictions Willard describes above by the phrase "raw, skin to skin contact". The way that someone responds to relational frictions demonstrates whether or not they are living in a Spirit-enabled, Spirit-empowered community, or if they desire to live in a uniform community.
People normally and naturally respond to relational friction with anger, impatience, divisiveness, selfishness, defensiveness, pride, etc. These responses are manifestations of sin. This type of response may reduce relational friction, but it will not maintain community.
However, through the indwelling and enabling of the Holy Spirit, it is (super)-naturally possible to respond to relational friction with understanding, acceptance, patience, humility, forbearance, perseverance, and even joy. This type of response will not immediately reduce the relational friction, but it will maintain community. In fact, true community is only possible in the presence of relational friction and a Spirit-controlled response to that relational friction.
Let me say that again: true community is only possible when those within the community – or at least a majority of those within the community – respond to relational friction through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Also, if there is no relational friction, then there is no community. There are either surface acquaintances, with the real friction hidden beneath, or a cult-like uniformity where those who disagree are excluded from the "community". Neither of these is a community.
If we want to determine whether or not we are living in a Spirit-led, Spirit-enabled community with other believers, we can begin by examining how we respond to relational friction, that is to "raw, skin to skin contact". If we respond by demanding our rights, privileges, wants, expectations, etc. then we are not living in community, but we are allowing sin to hinder our relationship with other believers, which demonstrates that sin is also hindering or relationship with God. If, on the other hand, we respond to relational friction in Spirit-created humility, joyfully allowing others to usurp our rights, privileges, wants, expectations, etc. then we are demonstrating that we are maintaining the community of the Spirit.
One thing before I finish this post: It is not the goal of the believer or a group of believers to create or maintain community. Instead, it is the goal of believers to demonstrate their love for God by loving others. As believers demonstrate their love for God by loving other believers in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, then Spirit-created community will ensue. Also, as believers demonstrate their love for God by loving non-believers in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit-enabled mission will ensue. Either way, the goal is to love God by loving others.

That's the "one another" challenge in a nutshell.

I'll attest that it can begin with only a few in that community. It's happening here. It does take a great deal of patience. But God can use a few in the community to change the whole thing.
All together now, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going. . ."
Yes, I think that community can begin with a few. Many times, there will be a larger number of "acquaintances" (I'm not sure what term to use) hanging around a community, perhaps even playing the part of community. However, it is during those times of relational friction that we see who is actually part of the community, and who is only hanging around the community.
This does not mean that we exclude those who are not part of the community. Instead, I would suggest that it is important for those who are part of the community to welcome and accept others, even if they are not welcomed and accepted in return.
But, you are correct. God can use a small group of Spirit-led individuals to foster a desire for community within a larger group. Whether or not those in the larger group becomes part of the community or not depends upon whether or not they are willing to submit to the Spirit and humbly respond to relational friction.
great post, thanks Alan! The irony is that to be in a community is to practice being in community and so many people therefore refuse to even jump that fence…
thanks for the shout out.

So true. Thanks for the comment.
My pleasure.
Great stuff. I pray more and more will awaken to these truths.
Is there any application that we can draw from Jesus' practice of community?
(this is a very rough sketch)
John – the disciple that Jesus loved
Peter, James and John – inner circle, viewed transfiguration
12 Apostles – broader inner circle, heard deepest teachings, explanation of parables
Disciples – outer circle, heard parables, followed
The crowds – gathered, some became disciples, some did not
In a healthy church, there will probably be many "communities". The test is upon those who are genuinely part of the "community" to hang in there during the relational friction with those who aren't.
The tendency that I have seen is that those who think they "get it" to insulate themselves from those who don't. The call of the gospel is for those who "get it" to remain faithfully connected in love to those who may just sort of "get it". Those who say they "get it" and then withdraw to their own community don't get it.
Here is a description of Spirit filled Christian community worth pondering.
"He explained that, in the world, the powerful are as it were on top of the pyramid, controlling and oppressing the many social strata of people beneath them. In Christ, however, this pyramid was inverted, so that all the weight of humanity's oppression fell upon His shoulders. The saints, Father Zacharias pointed out, willingly "go down" to identify with Christ and bear the burden of the world's sorrow. They undertake to suffer with Him the pain of humanity's alienation from God and subjection to sin."
The heart of a Spirit filled community is a forgiveness that is willing to take on oneself the burden of the sins of others without trying to shift the pain caused by that sin back where it came from. We can bear this burden when it rests, not on us but on Christ in us.
I also pray that God keeps teaching me these truths.
Thank you especially for your last two paragraphs. They are excellent additions to this post! Those living in community by the power of the Spirit must be willing to accept those who are not.
C Grace,
Thank you for your comment also. It is another excellent addition to this post! You are absolutely right that the Spirit inverts everything.
Bro. Alan,
I was sent this article by Bro. Lionel and I had the following two responses which he said I should send to you. Respond at your leisure:
1st Response:
"Perhaps I missed the point but is this saying that unless we aren't getting along and not agreeing then we don't have community. Must we constantly be disagreeing and "rubbing each other the wrong way" in order to have authentic community? That doesn't sound right to me. That's my initial reaction."
2nd Response:
"We've had some "doctrinal" disagreement but it's never gotten disagreeable. I've had to encourage others to share their views even if they were different from mine because we all come from a background where that was a big no-no. But nobody has left feeling as though they weren't heard or that their views were not respected. The article seems to suggest that the only true community is where the Hatfields and McCoys reside. I guess I just didn't get it."
Bro. Alan,
Thank you for clarifying. I missed the forest for the trees. :-)!
Alan: Saw that you posted this oldie but goodie today…thanks for it!
I love your "friction" metaphor: Friction can produce energy and it can also transform that which comes into friction with the other.
My concern is that while I think it is important to not be overly attached to our own opinions, wants and needs, we can end up avoiding this necessary friction by being overly submissive and agreeable. There are times when we need to hold our ground, or at least challenge others, if necessary transformation is to take place. Otherwise, we may end up in a situation where one faction in a church, or at least several members, constantly get their own way just because others are assuming a position of (possibly false) humility.
I absolutely agree that we should not seek to fellowship only with those who think like us, act like us and are like us. By developing friction within a community we not only give ourselves and each other the opportunity for transformation, but we also force ourselves to slow down. Instead of pressing ahead and making quick decisions, we end up doing the work of building community through friction: Exchanging views, experiencing tension, negotiating, and perhaps developing new understandings of both each other and the situation at hand.
