THE ONEIDA EXPERIMENT
Frederica Mathewes-Green shares a chapter from her latest book, Gender: Men, Women, Sex, Feminism (Conciliar Press, 2002), in Touchstone Journal. She uses the experiences of a mid-19th-century utopian community which practiced "Bible Communism" as a launching pad to discuss the 20th-century free love movement and the subsequent rise of abortion. This is typical Frederica -- smooth, flowing, engaging, and always with a slightly different take on things that rises out of her Orthodox perspective.
