What do your core beliefs encompass? You have 4 white men on your website, does that mean that women aren’t expected to be a part of leadership?

Including the creed is nice but it doesn’t say if you’ll welcome gay people who say they’re christians.

Do you have a rhythm of meeting and prayer or does that happen within family units?

To be blunt: How autonomous are people within your community?

First time posting a thread. I don’t know how to do it without doing the quote feature. Somehow instagram is easier than this old website, though I am loving the BB inherit land system and will work hard on getting a lot of them over the summer. Only got the make tea achievement up to now. Love gardening and read a bunch of Wheaton books though and am watching YouTube videos and lectures on this stuff almost daily though when I am not cramming for a test.

I am not trying to be annoying or anything. I love learning about different faiths and am planning to pursue religious studies for my bachelors (triple majoring, gonna be a paralegal or lawyer, have;t decided yet), so believe me, that when I say that I truly love learning about all different types of people and faiths, but I was alas not raised in a Christian family. I was raised in a Jewish family, and let’s not be arguing about religion, that’s not why I’m writing this. I myself am not extremely sure of what I think. Whatever the case, and I know this doesn’t add any value to this thread so skip if you don’t care.

I just wanted to vent a little. I want to start a community like this some day too, but I will be planning to do a multi faith community, no critique of this btw obviously people feel far safer within a community of the same faith, please, I really mean no offense or anything, and the US is a primarily Christian country, so that makes sense. I mainly care about being able to live together, though to be honest I am not open to all religions considering the violent tendencies of one, but whatever the case, I just wanted to express my sadness that for the few of us that aren’t Christian but really want to live in a community full of people with faith and spirituality get real hard since most minority communities that are religiously diverse or are fine with it are in cities, which is again the exact opposite of the goal. Whatever, I don;t know why I am even writing this. Sorry, didn’t mean to be a party pooper, but I am looking ahead and feeling like I’m trying to push a camel through a needle (get it, reference to my n.t. bible study class, whatever, I like puns and stuff, like an old man inside the body of an 19 yr old, xD).

Anyway, if you read to this point maybe you can tell me how to deal with zoning regarding villages in America. The rural zoning laws are a real doozie and pain in the butt I don;t know how I’ll navigate when I try to do something like that in the future, does anyone know how they did it? My dream wi=ould be to get 40 acres of land and all my friends get 1-4 and we all have a little community full of all types of individuals away from the city with all its toxins and pesticides. (Once we all get remote work jobs after finishing B.S. or find another way of getting a good remote work job)

Hope your re having a beautiful day/night wherever you are.
