But community can't be forced, controlled, or easily created. The problem, says Joseph R. Myers, is that churches are too focused on developing programs instead of concentrating on environments where community will spontaneously emerge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrganic Community\u003c\/i\u003e challenges key leaders to become environmentalists--people who create or shape environments.
