I didn’t know much about the Hutterite way of life until I read your post … actually I never heard of this group. I found out that this faith was born in the sixteenth century and they adopted their belief after the second book of Acts. <br /><br />And all the believed were together, and had all things in common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had needed. Acts 2:44-45<br /><br />It appears that during the WWI the Hutterite communities moved to Canada to avoid persecution as conscientious objectors. This would be the reason that Canada has a large population of Hutterite communities. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this review I have added this book to my book list.Steve Capellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408847885210693607noreply@blogger.com
