Utopian communities : survival of Old Order Hutterite, Amish and Mennonite groups

Author:	Elsie W Hamel
Publisher:	[Charleston, S.C.? : CreateSpace, 2011].
Edition/Format:	Book : English
Summary:	This study is a comprehensive review of religious and secular utopian sects to determine why three old order anabaptist groups have survived for four centuries and have thrived into the twenty-first century when hundreds of sects have failed. Utopian theory provides a background to elucidate the reasons why many people were attracted to these communities. A multitude of key factors contributed to the decline and failure of the non-old order sects; e.g., a lack of commitment, the absence of a central belief system buttressed by uniform governance, self-centered charismatic leaders, the inability to provide economic support, poor work ethics, a disparity of common goals and a decline in community membership. Also, readers are given a glimpse of mid-twentieth-century Pennsylvania Dutch farm life.  Read more...
