The gist of the Bruderhof community

Here's a quick run down of the wider community which seems fairly in line with what I've heard. "Full community of goods" = Common purse. ie. No one has any personal money everything is shared.

The gist is that they're trying to live a life that was first articulated by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and the essence of that is to love one another, Everything else comes after that. There is a lot of other amazing things here to talk about but many people have wanted to emphasise that to us, that the well functioning community life all comes down to that first priority.
