In the Proof of Concept Phase, 1256 Movement and Taylor Homes are purchasing in fill lots, preferring several lots in a row, in order to build the first homes.
How will these first homes be financed?
1256 Movement was started in 2020 after the death of Terrel Taylor, a builder in Bartlesville, OK. Nearly 50 individuals gave donations toward building homes in North Tulsa in memorial to Terrel Taylor. Additional donations through 1256 will help make a down payment on the first land purchases that will pass as a reparation to black families building homes.
Working with a bank that has a stake in North Tulsa, Greg Taylor and Taylor Homes are planning the first purchase of lots, and this private loan will provide the majority of the initial purchase and construction of 1-4 homes in the Proof of Concept Phase.
After this Proof of Concept Phase, 1256 will continue more in earnest to seek donations from private and public sources. The process and applications for those funds has already started, but we do not want those funds to be the first. We believe the founders must first put our own money into the venture.

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated.
I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here.
You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
