Mike exhorts us to "get out there in the community and do some good." This is probably one of those things that we assume and leave unsaid, but for many crunchies, doing good comes under the heading of participating in their faith community. Churches coordinate lots of do-gooder activities, and nudge members to participate. My own parish is pretty small, but we still take part in soup kitchens, pregnancy care center work, making food bags for the homeless, and so forth. Other church members help in areas that interest them personally, such as street preaching in the red-light district, or building homes in Haiti. I record books for our state-wide Radio Reading Network for the Blind. I guess if we haven't made much of this, it's because we presumed it was covered in the "Religion" section.
