I enjoyed this post. I stumbled upon it and as I began reading, I was a bit fearful that it wa going to drag me down a rabbit hole about prepping, and instead, it became this lovely discussion about intentional community ties up with the bow of how monastic communities were ‘arks’ during the Dark Ages… I loved it.
I did have a question for Elizabeth: you said you spent a year discussing how your community would function/form. What I was wondering was how you folks came together in the first place. Were you already friends? Part of a parish? How did you find each other?
Thank you for this interview and for helping me consider things in a different light.
Well, we probably have reached the end of history, just not in the hubristic way Fukuyama thought; well, if hubris means pride before a fall, then yes, actually, absolutely.
PS! I was intrigued by the blue chapel in the garden! Is it a structure you pray inside of? Is there a photo of the inside somewhere? (I’m a sucker for chapels ❤️)
