An Alternative Community (queries of)

The task of prophetic ministry is to nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us. (p. 3)

So my programmatic urging is part of a way of evoking, forming, and reforming an alternative community. And this applies to every facet and practice of ministry.  It is a measure of our enculturation that the various acts of ministry (for example, counseling, administration, even liturgy) have taken on lives and functions of their own rather than being seen as elements of the one prophetic ministry of formation and reformation of alternative community. (p. 4)

from The Prophetic Imagination by Walter Bruggemann

Bruggemann is speaking here about the alternative community of Moses and what through him (and of course, through the power of God) a whole new way of living for the Hebrews.  They were called out of empire, into a new covenant with God, a new community, and alternative way of being that brought them out of the enculturation of Pharoah.  Bruggemann's words speak to an Integrated way of being in the world in which everything that we do is all about living out this alternative community.  That from the smallest action to the largest, we proclaim a new way.
This is tossing around in my head:
How is my family an alternative community in the world?  How do we live prophetically so that if someone spent a day or a week with us, they would realize that we are living alternatively with a prophetic imagination?
How if my work and ministry integrated so that everything I am about speaks to this new way of being?
How am I still living enslaved in the "empire" and enculturated in a way that keeps me away from living in the alternative community?  (hmmm...how do I count the ways).
