via this article here on ginkworld, Mark Priddy quotes Gordon Fee from Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God on p.66:

This is What We Desire to Be: A community of redeemed people among whom God can live and who in their life together will reproduce his life and character in all its unity and diversity. Everything in the life of the church is to be done allelon. We are to be members of one another, compassionate to one another, regard others above ourselves, live in harmony with one another and slaves to one another in love. God is not looking for a set of unconnected individuals, but rather a people who will bear his image and be a radical alternative to the culture

One response to ““This is What We Desire to Be””

    Cool.

    “the beloved community” –Gordon Cosby about 6 times during the hour I heard him speak–“The beloved community is the ultimate shalom.”
