While the limitations of modern life make it difficult to physically live in a communal space, as was common in pre-industrial societies, it enables us to achieve the same goals, at a greater distance. Collaboration in our Distributed Community is facilitated through various channels of communication and information sharing. Utilizing modern technology platforms, we seek to establish a hybrid of virtual and physical spaces where individuals can connect, exchange ideas, and pool resources. Online forums, data storage, and physical point-to-point connections between families will serve as vital conduits for the exchange of support, information, and material, enabling us to foster a collective intelligence that transcends physical limitations of distance.
Our community cultivates a culture of open communication, prayerful support, and distribution of labor, as we seek to both create and consume resources with greater efficiency. We will encourage frequent interaction and engagement among members, at the individual and family levels as well as occasional larger gatherings. We will forge strong interpersonal connections, building trust and fostering a shared sense of purpose. In a world that is so divisive and isolating, we believe that what we share in common, our identity in Christ and our identity as humans made in the Image of God, is far more important than any differences we may have. As such, we are stronger together. Against the forces that seek to isolate and degrade us, no individual can stand. However, when we live in Biblically-centered Christian community, even the gates of Hell cannot stand against us.
The benefits of our Distributed Community will extend beyond the realm of personal growth and individual achievement. By collaborating and supporting one another, we will generate a ripple effect of positive impact, not only within our community but also in the wider society. As we work together to live humble, faith-filled, and healthy lives, our actions will reverberate through the world around us, sharing the light of Christ and the hope of Paradise. In an era marked by increasing isolation and disconnection, we will provide an alternative.
Specialization of labor and knowledge will be a cornerstone of our Distributed Community. Recognizing that each individual possesses unique skills and expertise, we will encourage the cultivation and sharing of specialized knowledge. By openly exchanging insights, experiences, and best practices, we will collectively develop a wide array of competencies, empowering each member to contribute their distinctive talents to the community's overall objectives. Through this collaborative approach, we aspire to harness the collective intelligence of our diverse community, ensuring that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
We aim to create a robust ecosystem where individuals can thrive, collectively advance, and make a positive difference in the world. Together, we will leverage our shared purpose and collective intelligence to stand against the darkness of the fallen world. By prioritizing Spiritual growth, community, and holistic health, we will be better able to stand against the Enemy.
