It was on that retreat that I really heard a call to start a faith community — like Gordon Cosby! I thought, 'What?!' I didn't tell hardly any- body until just lately. I've sort of come back to that — acknowledgedthat was for real. "During that year after graduation I was in a lay ministry group. I still held onto this call of starting a community, but what I picked up from the leaders of the group was that at least you've got to start with something — you know, you don't just start a church.
