<\/iframe><\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=S6JyYCkZW9k\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">George and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove<\/a><\/p>\nI love to cook for people, shared meals are one of the ways I express and encounter deepening of relationship. I love to open my home to others as a place of respite or companionship,\u00a0 and always\u00a0 laughter (and mixed beverages.)\u00a0 I want people to feel welcome, visible, and safe when they enter my home.\u00a0 But I have never lived in intentional community with strangers who then became friends and family. That kind of life-sharing is different. Not better. But certainly beautiful and different. I am thankful for those who feel called to share life in these ways because it always serves as a witness to people like me of one more way of life-altering kingdom living. I am both challenged and encouraged by intentional communities. I learn about one more side of \u201cloving your neighbor.\u201d I glimpse another way of \u201cbeing hospitable to strangers and entertaining angels.\u201d<\/p>\nMy friend and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Common-Prayer-Liturgy-Ordinary-Radicals\/dp\/0310326192\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">fellow writer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/jonathanwilsonhartgrove.com\/bio\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove<\/a>, lives in an intentional community called the <a href=\"http:\/\/divinity.duke.edu\/publications\/2005.09\/features\/monasticism\/01.htm\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Rutba House<\/a>. He turns\u00a0 strangers into friends and housemates on a regular basis. I just met one of his new friends, George. You met him too if you watched the video above. I don\u2019t live in the Rutba House but both George and I live in what I like to call the OIC, The Original Intentional Community known as the present and coming Kingdom of God. And because we\u2019re family in the OIC, George\u2019s concerns are my concerns. And your concerns. So it would be a good idea to recognize that in some form or another. Here\u2019s one way.<\/p>\nIt may seem small and simple but it\u2019s a start. George got shot and is now paralyzed. George wants to drive. It would help a lot if George could drive. But he needs a van. We can vote to help George win a van that he could actually drive. Please do it.<\/p>\n1) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmeda.com\/mobility-awareness-month\/heroes\/north-carolina\/durham\/1746\/george-black\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click here<\/a> to Vote for George<\/strong>.
