As the Journal editorial staff discussed commitment to community, it seemed only natural to ask a cross-section of activists to convey some of the reasons their work is meaningful to them. The comments below are excerpted from ideas they discussed with Journal staff member
.My commitment to community goes beyond my church [Foursquare Gospel] and the Baptist and the Methodist churches. It becomes the Church of Foxboro, MA, if you like.

The only damaging thing is denominationalism—"My denomination is better than yours."
Foxboro, Massachusetts
