Categorizing the Hutterites

[Ernie]

Cory Anderson has recently categorized the Hutterites.

Lehrerleut Hutterite (western: Alberta, Montana, and surroundings).
Dariusleut Hutterite (western: Alberta, Montana, and surroundings).
Schmiedeleut Hutterite Group 2 (central: Manitoba, the Dakotas, and surroundings).
Schmiedeleut Hutterite Group 1 (central: Manitoba, the Dakotas, and surroundings).
Hutterite Christian Communities (small).

Like the Hutterites, the “Bruderhof” are also a communal group but based primarily in eastern New York. They are a different Anabaptist tradition from the Hutterites, having originated in Germany in the 1920s and taking some sources of inspiration not part of the Hutterite tradition. Hence, the term “Bruderhof” will refer only to these eastern NY-based colonies, not Hutterites.

The Hutterite website explains the differences among The Leut. I thought it was quite good. Apologies but I do not have it bookmarked or I would share the link.

The Bruderhof are moving southward from NY. There is a colony in TN and a 'house' for ministry in NC.

Is this recent? His database had these classifications at least a decade ago.

He posted this recently... So yes, the classification didn't happen recently.

Thanks, DoC, this is an amazing piece of work. I spent time a few years ago with people at Rocky Cape, Altona, Elmendorf, and attended the Fargo conference. Nowadays I live in a very tiny Christian community.

One of the most notable ,and tragic failures of this whole concept, was what happened in Bright, Ont ,from the 1970's through now, the Juliusleut , the "Community farm of the Brethren," which is covered in a chapter in this....It appears the two sides just didn't get along , it was a lot of little things, no big Spiritual disagreements ...... At one low point ,the one side ,men, women, kids, would circle the other side every evening , Singing and chanting, Like the Isrealites going around Jericho.....Really weird stuff........It stunted a whole generation of Children there, a lot of them never got married ,just wasted their lives away.....seems like.....

Wasn't there a Gospel Music Quartet that came out of that group, I'm guessing maybe 40 years ago?

Bruderhof / What Makes Anabaptists Different? / 6:27min

Description:
This is the first of a series of videos where Maureen and Rich are going to be talking about Anabaptism in general but then also how the Bruderhof fits into it – we consider ourselves Anabaptists even though we aren’t descended directly from the Anabaptist movement of the Radical Reformation of the 16th century.

As we discuss, the Anabaptist family includes Amish, Hutterites, Mennonites, and other groups. Although we all share many commonalities, one defining feature is our shared belief in adult baptism (believers' baptism), dating back 500 years to the Schleitheim Confession, during the Radical Reformation.
