All organizations (congregations/communities) are profound, complex mysteries. The Columbian writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, said of his wife that he knew her so well that she was completely and utterly unknown to him.  Those same words describe my encounters with organizations, these living organisms, these unpredictable communities with a wonderful and frightening life of their own.  The more I know any organization/community/congregation, the more it is completely and utterly unknown to me.
