The spiritual discipline of community is a unique pursuit. Most spiritual disciplines tend to focus on you and God. While these disciplines can involve others and often as a group we celebrate the rewards of practicing the disciplines of prayer, meditation, fasting, and silence and solitude; the discipline of community requires the intentional involvement of others.
So often, we see Jesus in the gospels going off to pray and to spend time in silence and solitude with the Father. We also see Jesus pouring himself intentionally into the twelve disciples. Christ allowed His spiritual life to form a spiritual community. A community that was brought together around Him and the truth the He is God and our Savior.
