<br/><br/> Though ""community"" has become a common word in the contemporary Western church, the practice of communal sharing has effectively fallen by the wayside. Unfortunately, it is often the poor who are left wanting because we no longer come together. Reta Halteman Finger finds a solution to this modern problem by learning from the ancient Mediterranean Christian culture of community.... ""Of Widows and Meals"" begins a discussion of need in community that can revolutionize the contemporary church's interaction with the world at large.
