“Granted, just as some biological families are healthier than others, so are some spiritual families. But the fact remains we must have some spiritual family if we are to grow up spiritually. We must have a context—or what Parker Palmer calls a ‘congruent community’—if we are to become who we were created to become. If we are to become our truest selves—created in the image of God to love as God loves, to forgive as God forgives and to pour out our lives as Jesus did for the sake of the whole human family—then we must grow and mature in the context of a spiritual family.”
–K. Killian Noe, Finding Our Way Home
