The Thing about Intentional Community

The Thing about Intentional Community is that everyone in that community has a different idea of exactly what that means.

The first term they must come to agreement on is "Community."  The second term they must come to is "Intentional."

They can spend an eternity debating these two terms.

During this time, there will be inevitable fights between people who claim to be striving toward the mission of the Intentional Community.

In other words, Intentional Communities do the same thing that every other group, regardless of their titles, do.
