Douglas Stevenson Quotes

FROM ITS VERY INCEPTION, The Farm Was Established As A "spiritual Community" And Registered With The State Of Tennessee As The Farm Church. Stephen Taught And The Community Recognized That Intentional Communities Founded On Spiritual Principles Were Much More Likely To Survive Beyond A Few Years, And There Was History To Back Up That Belief. Over The Last 200 Years Of Intentional Communities In America, Those Based On Political Or Social Economic Ideals Had A Life Span Of Around 10 Years, While Those Founded On Spiritual Principles Typically Endured 25 Years Or More. The Spiritual Awakening Experienced By The Hippie Generation Is What Made The Farm Happen, And Why It Exists Today. Community Is So Much More Than The Buildings And The Roads And The Trees. It Takes Spiritual Connection To Endure.
