In being Trinity, God displays all the attributes which His church should seek to emulate; community, love for the other, other-centredness, self-giving, caring, listening, collaborative, singing, laughter, dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance\u2019, said He
\u2018And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I\u2019ll lead you all in the dance\u2019, said He<\/p>\n\n\n\n
