Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing and UU Churches

[Charles Nuckolls (administrator]

It's an old tradition, is it not -- the affiliation of intentional communities 
and Unitarianism?  Brook Farm was founded by a Uniterarian minister, Geroge 
Ripley.  Indeed, one could hardly imagine the 1840's -- perhaps the high point 
of social utopianism -- without its Unitarian foundation.  
 
Good to see the tradition continues.
 
Best wishes,

Yes, the built senior co-housing community in Davis, California, was 
founded by a group largely (but not entirely) consisting of UUs.

I'm not sure if they have their own website, but you can see more about 
Glacier Circle Cohousing at:

My understading is that these were "friends from the church getting 
together to build cohousing" and not church-sponsored in any way.
