Last month, we looked at the broad topic of “community” from a theoretical point of view. However, what does “community” at Miami Temple look like? A better question would be, “what kind of community do we want to be?”

If we’re honest with ourselves and with each other, we would have to admit that becoming a biblical community in this post-pandemic world will require a willingness to think outside the box. Or, as Jesus would say, “new wine must be put into fresh wineskins” (Luke 5:38, NRSV).

Miami Temple has a long history of reinventing herself to meet history’s challenges in different eras during her 111 years. While times have changed, certain principles and practices have remained at the core of what has made our church successful. This month, as we work toward our long-awaited reopening, we will look back at our congregational history and look ahead at the future through our series: Community – Next Steps. We hope you’ll join us all month long!
