Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: If it's religion it ain't cohousing

[THESHLIFE (THESHLIFE]

I'm totally tolerant.  People can believe what ever they want. It's totally
cool with me as long as they don't try to make me believe.
The point is, cohousing enbodies diversity. A menonite community would be too
diverse would it?
What makes cohousing so great is that interaction with people with
differences and a range of backgrounds.
If muslim or all catholic cohousing communities started popping up, the
movement will be in trouble.
It's one thing to have a lot of menonites in a cohousing community, and
another to be a menonite community.
They can borrow, use, and employ anything they want from cohousing and
intensional community.
But is no longer cohousing.

I can see it now.  " The Jews for Jesus community is looking for a few good
men"
Come on quys, get a grip.  Religion of anykind is not part of cohousing.
If it happens that everyone is a menonite, great.  but to call themselves
"The Menonite Community" will again be a disservice to the movement.
