Community is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible
grace, the flowing of personal identity and integrity into the world of
relationships. Only as we are in community with ourselves can we find
community with others.
As the community of truth gathers around a “great thing,” it is “the grace of great things” that evokes the virtues we cherish in education: celebrating diversity, embracing ambiguity, welcoming creative conflict, practicing honesty, and experiencing humility.
Another concept of community is that a community is a social unit of any size that shares common values. Although embodied or face-to-face communities are usually small, larger or more extended communities such as a national community, international community and virtual community are also studied.

In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other
conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their
degree of cohesiveness.
