First of all, there is an aesthetic beauty to when believers are "dwelling together in unity". The scriptures often speak about the way in which believers relate to one another being an attractive quality for unbelievers.
Secondly, there is a creative aspect to community. As each person in the body lives out their calling with their unique gifts, a community of faith grows and develops and creates. There is also the creative aspect where when a community of faith works together to live out the "one another" commands in the scriptures (Love one another, pray for on another, etc.), there is a creative effort to shape and develop the community.
As Steve Brown says, "You think about that..."
Living in and loving community,
Matthew
