The New Testament presents a vision of what a real Christian community is like, and it's starkly different from what the world naturally looks like. Martin Luther King called that vision "the beloved community," where everyone was welcomed and valued, so no one was mistreated or went without. We get an overview of three mission work centers around the world that we'll learn more about later, but they're each trying to build the beloved community in their area.
