Community meant belonging, sharing common purpose and interests. It meant that each had a duty of care to other, irrespective of capacity. To leave one out of the journey, meant all were diminished. There might have been a sense of impatience when someone was slow to come on the journey, frustation even if it meant substantial deviation, but no one thought of leaving the person behind. You argued, you debated, you pushed, you pulled, but you moved together. You might show disunity behind private doors, but in the light of day, you acted back to back.
