Great quote from Soul Cravings by Erwin McManus.

"There may be no greater proof of God than the power of community. There may be no greater gift than a place to belong. While it may seem that you're selling out to admit you need people, the irony is that you'll never really know yourself until you're in a healthy community. We only truly come to know ourselves in the context of others. The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self identity."
