Oral history interview with Lonnie conducted by Chhaya Kolavalli in Kansas City, Kansas, on June 27, 2014. Lonnie, a 57-year old member of Cherith Brook, discusses how he came to join this Christian intentional community. Formerly homeless, Lonnie first attended Cherith Brook to receive free meals and showers, and eventually ended up joining the household and moving in. Lonnie discusses how intentional living has changed the way he experiences his faith, touches on the difficulties he’s had through his experiences as an openly gay Christian man, and shares his thoughts on why Christian intentional communities are so effective at providing charity and aid to the poor. This interview was conducted for the Religion in Kansas Project as part of a summer fieldwork internship funded by the Friends of the Department of Religious Studies.
