Quotes and links mentioned:

“The journey of the son reveals the true nature of the parable, expressing the radical missionary nature of God, that the Father has sent the Son into the far country to redeem the world…God recklessly pursues the world by entering into the very depths of the far country. This is the way God works. This is the way God is.” — David Fitch & Geoff Holsclaw
“Communitas happens in situations where individuals are driven to find each other through a common experience of ordeal, humbling, transition and marginalization. It involves intense feelings of social togetherness that belonging brought about by having to rely on each other in order to survive…togetherness only really happens amount a group of people inspired by the vision of a better world who actually attempt to do something about it.” — Alan Hirsch
