Diversity—Issue
#155
Our new Communities issue on Diversity
is on its way to subscribers and in stores now. You can subscribe now
or order a
sample and we'll ship you a copy today!
True to its theme, Communities ' Summer
2012 "Diversity"
issue is itself diverse. Several articles address challenges
associated
with cultivating racial diversity in community, but many stories
explore
other forms of diversity, from different physical abilities to
alternative
worldviews, religions, and forms of civic engagement. Authors
also explore
how groups welcome in new people and how they make decisions.
“Busting
the Myth that Consensus-with-Unanimity Is Good for
Communities,”
in particular, is guaranteed to provoke some reactions and
conversations
(and, in these pages, it already does, with responses from three
consensus
trainers). Please join us in celebrating
differences!

Communities Magazine
Since 1972, Communities has been the primary resource for information,
issues, and ideas about intentional communities in North America - from
urban co-ops to cohousing groups to ecovillages to rural communes.
Communities now also focuses on creating and enhancing community in the
workplace, in nonprofit or activist organizations, and in neighborhoods,
with enhanced coverage of international communities as well. We explore
the joys and challenges of cooperation in its many dimensions.
Please subscribe today! If you're
already a subscriber, tell your friends about us, or better yet
give a gift subscription.
The Communities magazine website
features a selection of articles from our quarterly magazine online. We
post a handful of articles from each issue so you can get a taste of
what Communities offers.
