It's that word again, that wonderful chameleon of a word, at once
crisply decisive and warmly humane. Community: a word for every
occasion. We could be talking ruddy-faced folk, warm beer and village
green cricket, or Iona, or youth clubs on a sink estate. Community. Or,
then again, we could be clearing our throats for yet another topical
political rant: "The Muslim community must act at last to exorcise the
terrorism in our midst."
