Koinonia is derived from Greek word that means "communion by intimate participation." Early Christians used this term when engaging in what we now know as Holy Communion. They also considered koinonia a time of engaging in fellowship and communal living. Regarding on-line koinonia, we hope for civil discourse, an open sharing of ideas, and a pervasive culture of mutual respect.
