Community is such a broad, sweeping term that it can mean almost anything. This book is about 'intentional community', meaning communities which people consciously create for themselves rather than those which arise naturally merely through humans living or working in close proximity.

Community of one sort or another is something into which we are born, in which we live, and where we shall all die and be long remembered or soon forgotten. Within a strong community, particularly the small, cohesive intentional communities covered by this book, people are able to blossom and bloom. They are more likely to feel that they have a worthwhile social niche, feel valued by others, and will almost certainly feel more secure than when living in isolation or even within a conventional nuclear family.

In this book we welcome you to visit and explore many of the aspects of intentional community living, the challenges as well as the joys.
