Talk:Hutterite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hutterites emphasize family life. Married couples remain married for their entire lives. If there is a single person in the colony, one of the married families will take him or her in as a member of their family.
Edit: They are not nessesarily taken in as a member of the family, but are given a home of their own after a certain age. It can be any age. Whenever the person decides that it's time, or when their parents die, they take over the family house.

[edit] Doukhobors
I'm not sure why the Doukhobors are included in the links. They are not anabaptists, or even baptists. They no longer live communally, although they once did, as did many ethnic groups after arriving to settle in North America.Landroo 05:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree. I remember seeing this link and was going to post a question about it, but then just forgot. CWood 01:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current Challenges Section?
Are there any sources for the Current Challenges section? It makes a number of statements that aren't sourced.
[edit] Michael Hari
Has anyone heard about Michael Hari and his children?The story was featured on the Dr Phil show a while ago.He abducted his two children and went to live in a Hutterite community somewhere in the US.Since I am not from America,I was wondering if they had found the kids.I was thinking about starting an article about controversy in the church and it would be helpful to have that information.Serenacw 02:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Might check out the following, though I think it's well outside of the Wiki article.
Quick note: Elmendorf is not considered a Hutterite community (according to the Hutterites). They are a splinter church which broke away from the Hutterite church and are more affiliated with Charity Church Ministries.

- (Please sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~.) Can you say more about Charity Church Ministries? Are there other former Hutterite groups involved, or what would attract a splinter group to them? Just curious. JonHarder 13:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

- The official site for Charity is http://www.charityministries.org. Heart Beat of the Remnant is one of their publications: http://www.charityministries.org/theremnant/index.cfm. It was started by a former Amish man and a Baptist preacher. Their theology is unique in blending Mennonite doctrines with fundamentalist Christianity. They also are particularly stringent in applying religious regulation.
-
- The only direct similarity they would have with the Hutterites would be that Mennonites and Hutterites are both of the Anabaptist tradition. I believe that Charity has made at least one trip to evangalize the Hutterites [1].

- I am not the same anon poster as above, so can't address his/her comment on Dr. Phil.

This is an encyclopedia, not a website for Hutterites. Please rewrite this in an encyclopedic manner. Thank you. --Fang Aili talk 18:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
