Overcoming Loneliness: The Bruderhof Community Experience

We’ve been hearing that community is declining and people are lonely. There are certainly people who are isolated and lack friendship, community, support, love. Since we already know this is a human problem and won’t argue with that premise, what can be done to seek out community, whether loneliness and isolation is a national trend or not? Over the years I have been blessed to enjoy a number of tight-knit, loving, joyful communities. I have also observed or had friends in or know about some other communities. I’m going to tell you a story about a community called Bruderhof.

Between the Ditches of Manifestos and Non-Sense

What Greg Taylor tries to offer in his blog is something of a life that can inspire you to reflect on your own and how to be more human, more like Jesus, more of the person God is making you to be. So I’ll spare you long manifestos and spare you a lot about whether or not I like Dr. Pepper or Coke. I’ll try to keep it between the ditches.
