Welcome to The Writings in Communal Studies Forum 
 http://groups.google.com/group/communal-studies-forum 

Our Mission here is: 
To encourage and facilitate the preservation, restoration, and public 
interpretation of America’s historic communal sites. 
To provide a forum for the study of intentional communities, past and 
present. 
To communicate to the general public the successful ideas from, and 
lessons learned by, communal societies. 

You are welcome here to look, lurk, or come in and join us for 
a consideration of communal America.  It's a place to publish about and discuss people 
and places like: 

The Shakers, Communal Amana, Harmony, Brook Farm, Oneida, City of 
Zion, Aurora, Springwater, Bishop Hill, Swedesburg, Bethel, Icaria, Quakers, Mormons, Plato's The Republic, Moore's Utopia,
  Fourier phalanx, and the many historic and present sites of high-minded communal America. 

As a place of news, information, or just to think about communal 
society living make use of the Communal Studies Forum to share publishing and 
readings about your interests in communal living. 

The reading here is free.  The archive is open to the public on 
the home page to read. 

Posting to the forum is open to membership 
only.  Apply for membership through the group home page.  You may set your 
own membership so that posts will not come to your own e-mail address as 
an option or would thereby be read at the home page.   Google makes 
this easy. 

In applying for membership there will be a lag period of time in 
accepting full membership to ferret out spammers.  Bare with that.  

This is a moderated list with the hope that 
this will be an interesting, friendly and useful place.
