There was an Evangelical community in Chicago years ago composed of people who worked at the Cook County Hospital. I can’t remember its name, but I had some (Catholic) friends who bought a house there and were very happy. The biggest problem was that all decisions about the community had to be made by consensus, and it took forever to get everybody to agree. Also, their level of decision making was way too detailed: “Could the X family go on vacation,” for example.
This sounds more like a residential community that would have certain standards for its shops and surroundings, and would permit things like Nativity Scenes (gasp!), etc. I think any good Christian would be happy there.
Let’s hope it lives up to the expectations of the people who buy homes there. Otherwise, it would be subject to more ridicule than the ACLU can dish out.
It’s a great idea, and just the fact that it’s conservative will entice a lot of people to buy.
