.Most humans are social in nature and need to interact with others whether sometimes or at best most times depending on how social one is. Perhaps you are more introverted (a little more like myself) or extroverted (a little more like my beloved wife) either way a part of living and a healthy life is socialising with others. Now, we might ask why we are like this. Is it because of evolution where a part of an evolving process is socialising with others? Perhaps that is one aspect, but what if our sociality was derived from a Being prior to humanity's existence - God. Now, you might ask how a single Being could be 'social' if there is nothing else out there in existence before humans evolved, before the big bang, before everything came into being. Perhaps one possibility could be from a Social Trinitarian perspective, but what is Social Trinitarianism?

Well, let us define 'social' in the sense of one or more persons interacting with another person or persons. It may be that you may be talking right now to someone, or maybe you are in a social group, family gathering, political party, study group, classroom, or religious group. Being social can be applied to animals too, but of course we are speaking in the context of humans who I believe were made in 'likeness' to God in certain ways - in our ability to socialise, to love, to be creative, to love justice, be gracious and merciful, kind, and more.

This is the 'social' aspect for those who have a conscience. Now, let's speak of what we mean by Trinity. Not everyone will agree with this definition, but in the faith of Christianity, God is 'Three Spirit Persons'. The three Spirit Persons exist as 'Father', 'Son', and 'Holy Spirit'. These are a part of the Divinity of God! Imagine - as a friend Wayne suggested - about the three faces of God. Each face belongs and is attached to the invisible, all-powerful, same and undivided 'Divine' substance. So, God is three Persons from One Divine substance. The Trinity is our one God! The Persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have distinct centres-of-consciences just like how humans have their own conscience centres or minds'.

So, God is the ultimate 'social' Being as God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit all mutually in a self-giving way love each other and indwell in each other and know each other in ways that are incomprehensible. This is where In believe humans derive their sociality from and we are designed to be social in our nature and to be involved in community and family.
