Eberhard Arnold, founder of the Bruderhof, d Nov 22 1935. After WWI he passed up his career as a theologian to see, instead, if it was possible to live according to the Sermon on the Mount. In effect, he rediscovered the spirit of the 16th century Anabaptists.

His community practiced adult baptism, strict nonviolence, property shared in common. In the 1930 they barely escaped Nazi Germany. They live on today. Highly recommend their @PloughBooks

There is a local Bruderhof community here. Years ago I got to know one of the members really well. She shared so many stories of growing up in Paraguay and then coming to the US. Amazing people.
