Religious Belief and Community: a presence of hope in the midst of loneliness

I happened upon this news post this morning.  It deals with loneliness as a serious health issue.  Having said that, we know, from our experience of our own communities and from PWR, that religious beliefs and community can offer both insight and presence in the midst of loneliness.  Hence  I have posted the link:  http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/29/2967353.htm  http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/29/2967353.htm
