Alicia and I just finished reading a book together about the life of the church called Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It's a small book, but it's taken us several weeks to get through it. We usually took turns reading sections, taking time to comment and discuss whenever something seemed interesting to us. We have been meditating on the importance of community among believers. The process of reading a book together reminded me of an era gone past where people actually used to do that (instead of watching television, being busy with lots of other things). Maybe it wouldn't have taken us so long had we read together and not been so busy with those other things!
