wow! at five years old I feel our community is too young to have a strong opinion. but we've had two divorces where all parties still own homes here, and live here, and as we head into a third divorce in process many people are working hard to help one member to find a rental so they can stay. I don't know if we are setting ourselves up for more challenges (we've certainly had some) but I also can't imagine telling the parent of a child living here that the parent can't be a member. -Liz (The Rev.)
