Forming Formed: 2005
Inclusive Christians
West Virginia,
United States
(Ohio)
 We are forming a spirit-filled Christian intentional community that is affirming of the GLBT community. We are socially, politically and ecologically minded and our dream will be shared co-housing on a 40-something acre plot in West Virginia. At this point, it is still in the very early stages and it won't be put into practice for at least another five years but in the meantime we are searching for like-minded individuals who are interested in this vision.
 
Contact:
future address of community will either be in West Virginia or southern Ohio.
