People Learn Best In Community...

"People learn best in community, when they are engaged with one another, when everyone is both student and teacher, expert and apprentice, in a rich exchange of experiences and learnings."

The Future of Social Networking

As the Internet becomes an increasingly important relationship tool, especially for the "wired generations" reaching adulthood now, those who develop "niche social networks" will be in a unique position to gather, influence, and guide groups of driven users. This is why sites like LK10 are so important.

-Ben Cheek, Church Planter in NYC

Learning is a social experience...

"The concept 'community of practice' was developed to illuminate that learning is a social experience. We humans learn best when in relationship with others who share a common practice."

- Supporting Pioneering Leaders by Margaret Wheatley

What We Actually Do...

"…spiritual growth and vitality stem from what we actually do with our lives, from the habits we form, and from the character that results."

- The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard

Good relationships develop...

"Communities of practice demonstrate that it is natural for people to seek out those who have knowledge and experience that they need. As people find each other and exchange ideas, good relationships develop and a community forms."

Become Like Christ...

"We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities he engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities he himself practiced in order to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of the Father" 

-Dallas Willard The Spirit of the Disciplines

The Moment You Join...

"(In a starfish organization) you automatically become part of the leadership - an arm of the starfish if you will - the moment you join."

Share and Contribute...

"Not only do people throughout a starfish have knowledge, but they also have a fundamental desire to share and to contribute."
