A panel of Calvin College students addressed what Christian community means to them, how it relates to the church, why it matters in the world, and how they may think differently about the church and Christian community than previous generations. They also reflected on the significance of worship in terms of establishing and maintaining Christian community both within and beyond the church’s walls. Presented by Todd Cioffi and panel at the 2013 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
