I so love and respect the good folks with the Bruderhof, an intentional Christian community. A group of women from several different Bruderhof communities email a newsletter every month or so, describing some aspect of their lives. I feel like I know them. You can access the newsletter here.
We were actually able to visit a Bruderhof Community only three hours away in Madisonville, Tennessee. The folks we met were as calm, orderly, and gracious as one would expect. We were guided around the beautiful campus by a couple of empty nesters a few years younger than us, then we were joined at lunch by a couple well into their 80s.
The writers of the newsletter reference a wonderful song that speaks to the joy of preparing for the Christ Child, People, Look East. You can hear a fine choral rendition of it here.
