From my article: “The Social and Spiritual Realities We Ignore”

Many times,  I would imagine,  we can discover things about people who are already “in our midst” in a physical community to which we have attached but not yet discovered our common call.  This would seem to be more likely as Churches begin to discover the value of “Intranets” (the local expression with online information,  interaction,  and storytelling and sharing) joined to ExtraNets (connected to larger bodies related to them such as denominations) joined to the THE INTERNET (a part of the human family in a deep ecumenical sense,  where missions of the Church and human welfare projects of all kinds can join people who can join forces.
