Meet the community behind Plough. Plough Quarterly is published by the Bruderhof, an international community of families and singles seeking to follow Jesus together. Members of the Bruderhof are committed to a way of radical discipleship in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount. Inspired by the first church in Jerusalem (Acts 2 and 4), they renounce private property and share everything in common in a life of nonviolence, justice, and service to neighbors near and far. The community includes people from a wide range of backgrounds. There are twenty-three Bruderhof settlements in both rural and urban locations in the United States, England, Germany, Australia, and Paraguay, with around 2,900 people in all. To learn more or arrange a visit, see the community’s website at bruderhof.com.  Subscriber Services PO Box 345 Congers, NY 10920-0345 T: 800.521.8011 subscriptions@plough.com United Kingdom Brightling Road Robertsbridge TN32 5DR T: +44(0)1580.883.344 Australia 4188 Gwydir Highway Elsmore, NSW 2360 Australia T: +61(0)2.6723.2213 Plough Quarterly (issn 2372-2584) is published quarterly by Plough Publishing House, PO Box 398, Walden, NY 12586.

C O M Plough Quarterly features original stories, ideas, and culture to inspire everyday faith and action. Starting from the conviction that the teach- ings and example of Jesus can transform and renew our world, we aim to apply them to all aspects of life, seeking common ground with all people of goodwill regardless of creed. The goal of Plough Quarterly is to build a living network of readers, contributors, and practitioners so that, in the words of Hebrews, we may “spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Plough Quarterly includes contributions that we believe are worthy of our readers’ consideration, whether or not we fully agree with them. Views expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the editorial position of Plough or of the Bruderhof communities. Editors: Peter Mommsen, Veery Huleatt, Sam Hine.
