Seed of Hope Farm: Where we draw our inspiration
This document is under development.
Our faith is based on Jesus'
atoning sacrifice on the cross, and on the witness He and His disciples
gave as written in the New Testament and through the Holy Spirit
working in and through all of us. Please don't read much in
the omission of various doctrines in this statement. We just
aren't theologians, and haven't responded to any comments about
what we need in here (yet).
Some of the people and groups that have influenced us are:
Anabaptists like the Hutterites,
Mennonites and
Amish,
Peter Maurin and
Dorothy Day
of the
Catholic Worker Movement , many
Christian communal groups including
Reba Place,
Plow Creek and the
group that used to be called the
Bruderhof, people from
Athens, Ohio both at
Ohio University
and in the outlying areas,
people from
Bureau County, Illinois,
churches like the
People Church
and many others, people
in the
Way of Christ
movement (a
Cursillo-based faith building movement),
and many others not yet mentioned here.
Thanks for reading. If you think we need more here, please
let us know. See the
contacts page.
