The strengthening dialogue of community

"St. Basil stresses in his Rule that the dialogue of community nurtures the individual: 'In this communal conversation, whatever is twisted in us will be straightened and whatever is good will be strengthened, and it will help us avoid being condemned with those who are only wise in their own eyes.'"
