Christian communes

My friend Liz lives in a collective house, which I find quite intriguing. I’m also drawn to the idea of Catholic Worker Hospitality Houses for the homeless. I’ve thought a lot about how to integrate serving the poor and homeless with collective living, intentional community and communal farming — from the perspective of a follower of Christ. And then I read Zack Exley’s post about Christian communes. Very interesting. I want to learn more. So if you have suggested reading, please share.

  1. There are probably more than 100 known intentional communities in NC and Virginia combined and several offer tours. Several years ago I toured several.

    Christian ones? I’m specifically interested in communities that are following Christ, living collectively and serving the poor. Which I assume will narrow it down a bit. ;)

    I too am interested in the same vision. i am very mobile , i am done with tradition ways to make money and live. i am a follower of Christ. i am no longer a slave to man and his ways. well i am in the process of breaking that way of living. I believe truly that the rapture will be any minute but still to carry on till it happens.
