"Communities are grown, not constructed. It takes a self-conscious effort beginning in the family and the pulpit." -- Douglas Wilson, Angels in the Architecture
Communities cannot be mass produced like widgets. You cannot assembly line a society. The body of Christ cannot be bought at a big box store. It cannot be manufactured. It needs to be nourished. It needs water and blood and dirt and sunlight.
Communities are not built on poured concrete, but on Christ. The foundation is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and the teachings of His apostles being proclaimed by pastors and pater familias. (Eph 2:20).
