All diff kinds of communities develop around meaning. People come together because of ideas or because of a common interest: oppression. Group experiencing oppression together = community: social bonds of interest, obligation and responsibility. E. g. social worker belonging to a social work club. Of interest and of responsibility: shared concerns about social issues. Skills required to work with communities similar to skills of social work with individuals but applied to a community. Oppression and power are still important issues in community: community capacity cannot develop if these are not addressed. We collaborate with community members to collectively make change to do this we must understand our role: knowing who you are and where you stand in power relationships. Intentional communities: communities people build on purpose. Mission: lots do, like intentional or meaning communitites, some don"t neighboughood. Boundaries: may be physical or created some other way. Religious community religious folks only: those resources that are things like relas, skills, understanding, history.
