Information for 
Former Bruderhofers
 

We understand that the Elder of the Bruderhof 
asked to step aside effective March 20th, 2001.
.
.
While hoping for reconciliation and forgiveness on all sides,
it is recognized that this may be a period during which
many families and individuals leave the Bruderhof.
.
.
We offer the opportunity for you to contact others who may have left
or family members who may have been out some time.
There is no cost or obligation for whatever help we can offer;
you are always free to return at any time.
.
.
Your contact will be held in confidence.
