Kerista Kerista

Kerista - Definition

Kerista was a new religion that was started in New York City in 1956 by John Presmont. Throughout much of its history, Kerista was centered around the ideals of serial monogamy and creation of intentional communities. From 1971-1991, the community was centered around the Kerista Commune in San Francisco, California which practiced group marriage and maintained a very high profile(including operating of a popular free newspaper and several national media appearances). In 1991, the community experienced a major split-and the founder went on to create "The World Academy of Keristan Education". The term polyfidelity was coined by Kerista Commune.
