Us
Intentional Communities are often called communes. We do not call
ourselves a commune as that has a connotation of illegal or immoral
activities to some people. We do live a form of communal living,
so some might call us a Christian commune or even a Christian kibbutz.

Biblical reflections on the
communal life
A mad mixture
Ephraim has surrounded me
with lies,
and the house of Israel
with deceit;
but Judah
still walks with God.
Hosea 11:12
Hosea is a mad
mixture of faithfulness and unfaithfulness. The book begins with the
Lord commanding his prophet to marry a whore. Hosea does and he is
faithful and his wife is unfaithful.

Heather and Paul Munn
met at Reba Place
and were married at Plow Creek in
the spring of 2007.
A month
later they began a three and a half month walking trip--from Boston to
Washington, DC, through Atlanta, and into Florida--to help prepare for
a retreat ministry for the poor here at the farm.
