Community, Outreach, Homelessness ...

Community, New-age Society ... A movement to revive community has sprung up in the last decade or two. Community has become quite vogue. It appears to be the beginning of a global movement; the recognition of a fundamental social need, arising from a ground swell of expanding consciousnes.   Click

Outreach, Volunteering ... All of the organizations listed below are involved in worthwhile activities; work that clearly comes from the heart. However, most have a top-down, reactive mind-set, rather than a bottom-up, preventive mind-set, (see Chapter 1 of Managing the Spiritual Neighborhood). Moreover, most are not close enough to the grass roots. Even the local groups are not quite local enough. Pick any area at all, and start connecting with the people around you – the schools, the seniors, the churches, ... – with an eye towards serving and creating community, and you will quickly find that there is an enormous amount of work to be done right in your immediate neighborhood.     Click

Homelessness, Hunger ... Again, we find that there are a number of worthwhile organizations working on these issues, but truthfully, such groups as those listed below should not even exist. Not in this this country they shouldn't. No community should ever allow one their own to be without food, or to be left to sleep outdoors, while the rest of us have comfortable homes and comfortable beds. If you really want to help the homeless, don't look to ministries such as these, rather, go ahead and do the outreach yourself. Find out what's involved, and while you're at it, get your neighbors to pitch in.     Click
