Friends & Neighbours Evening 2023
Introduction to Hutterites
The Hutterites are a communal people, living on hundreds of scattered Bruderhöfe or colonies throughout the prairies of northwestern North America. On average, fifteen families live and work on the typical Hutterite colony, where they farm, raise livestock and produce manufactured goods for sustenance.
The communal lifestyle of the Hutterites finds its roots in the biblical teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Emerging as a distinct culture and religious group in the early 16th century, this non-resistant Anabaptist sect endured great persecution and death at the hands of the state and church in medieval Europe. However, the Hand of God remained on the shoulder of these people, and their descendants survived to battle to this very day.
As in the previous few years, we will be sharing some of our celebration with you!
On the 28th of December, we streamed an evening of Hutterite choirs, small groups, trios, instrumental pieces, poetry, artwork and Christmas messages. You can watch it from the link below:
