It’s a positive step I suppose.
Hopefully they remain realistic and realize even in these arrangements, there are limits as to their levels of protection and defensive and offensive capabilities are.
And if they are not Christian at their foundation, I don’t care how many there are, they aren’t going to make it.
I'm a Christian myself, but history is full of non-Christian communities that were stable, so I'm not sure I agree with you on that.
And I'm sure such communities will be painfully aware of their limitations. In fact, if they ever come into existence every day will be a struggle against their limitations.
Security considerations will force them to expand.
I hope these things never happen, though. When I left the family farm it was with the intention of not becoming a farmer again. :(
