Is community a place or a state of mind? We most often describe community in terms of sharing a physical space, but communities can also share attitudinal landscapes. VIRTUALLY INTENTIONAL looks at cyberspace -- specifically The Well in San Francisco -- where people use the Internet as an electronic front porch, united by their special interests. It also visits the Poor Clares, an 800-year-old order of cloistered nuns. These women of widely different backgrounds have come together and made an intentional community out of a shared love of prayer, contemplation, and love of God, as well as a distaste for the cult of individualism. Finally it visits an urban commune. It's surprising how much these three communities have in common.
