A recipe for a community

How do you create communities? Well the built environment is important, public spaces, infrastructure, roads and railways, canals and cycleways. Then there are the schools, the shops, the businesses, and of course sport faciilities and places of worship.
Today forty people of all age gatered to make things together and at the end of it we had also made community.
Tonight Thirty of us brought food together to celebrate the giving of communion on Maundy Thursday. We made a meal of it and we made a community of it too.
Tonight the leader of my faith is remembered for giving himself to his disciples in the ultimate sacrifice and through it made a community.
Making things together, eating things together, making sacrificess:
How do you make community?

Hmm, I wonder.
