In July, 2009 I returned to the USA to participate in a conference on Small
Christian Communities (SCCs) in Erie, Pennsylvania and to give a report on
SCCs in Eastern Africa. During one Morning Prayer Session we were asked to
turn to our neighbor and share a personal story on community and sharing. I
shared the story of the previous week when I visited my brother’s home in
New Vernon, New Jersey. When I arrived my three-year-old grandniece Becca
Healey came running up to me with a lollipop in her hand. She said, "Uncle
Joe, would you like a lick?" Now that’s community and sharing!
