What about Authenticity?

I think that what people are really looking for these days is authenticity and community. Would you comment?

Well, yes. But can I raise a caution? I tend to notice that when people use the words “authenticity” and “community” a lot, both tend to leave the premises. It’s easy to use authenticity and community as new marketing tools to win customers to our product; as soon as that happens, we violate authenticity and community.

I think we get closer to both by pursuing love – by practicing the virtues found in I Corinthians 13.
