L-------------------------------------------------------------------AR %%SANCTUAR 030701 A sanctuary is a communal place of safety which offers insecure people the opportunity to participate in open and honest dialogues about their concerns, joys, pains, hurts, fears, hopes, aspirations, values, ideals, etc. A sanctuary is a community as much as a place. No place can be a sanctuary in the absence of a supportive, generous and honest community which is committed to being a safe place for insecure people. In sanctuaries secure people offer hospitality to others with the freedom to be safely vulnerable in open and honest dialogue. Sanctuary communities help domineering people heal their diseases, addictions, collusions, controls, coercion, violence, fears, grudges, demands, commands, judgements, condemnations, etc. Civility and civizations endure through the work of true lovers within sanctuary communities.
