Summary of Mary-Ann Kirkby's I Am Hutterite - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mary-Ann's story is achingly poignant, and her narrative will not only unravel her past but provide unique insight into the hearts and minds of Hutterite people. #2 The Hutterite faith was born in the sixteenth century when Jacob Hutter, an Austrian hatmaker, led a group of Anabaptists to a new kind of Christian community.
They sold everything they had and shared the money among everyone, as every man had need. #3 I was approached by a journalist friend to write a magazine article about Hutterite gardens. I knew the Hutterite colony I wanted to visit, Fairholme, because I had heard the story of their garden from my mother, who had worked there. #4 I visited the Hutterite community, where I met with Judy and her sister Selma, the head cook.
I was given an outfit to wear by a nearby house, and I was transported back to the summers of my childhood.
