My sister has had her house for sale for over a year now and no buyers. Where I live there are far more houses for sale than there are buyers at this time. And our part of the country has been affected by factory shut downs and downsizing significantly.<BR/><BR/>Also such a commitment needs to be taught, understood and then entered into with prayer when a family is ready. Many families are grounded in churches. Sure, they have to travel. But they have relationships in those places and ministries and relationships for their kids. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I see your take on cars. Here basically everyone has their own car and travels oftentimes significant miles to get to work, etc.<BR/><BR/>However, having said all of that, I still think your thoughts and model merit consideration. And think it's a good idea. But would be hard to get all like churches and Christians on board across an entire city.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts and breath for now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and blessings,<BR/>TedTed M.

Christians in the West move house all the time to make a capital gain, get into a better class area or get a better job. Why will we not move for Jesus. It is easier than being persecuted for our faith.<BR/>Blessings<BR/>RonRon McKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989126812730583009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184070.post-1140441555838492972006-02-20T08:19:00.000-05:002006-02-20T08:19:00.000-05:00Ron, Very interesting read.

Good food for thought. I would encourge anyone to read it.<BR/><BR/>I will say that it would take a commitment, different in kind. I do like the basic concept, though don't believe that all would be called to such a model.Ted M.

It is talking about living close together in unity. We have not really come to grips with <A HREF="http://www.kingwatch.co.nz/Church_Ministry/real_community.htm" REL="nofollow">Real Community</A> yet.<BR/>RonRon McKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989126812730583009noreply@blogger.com
