Yesterday, though, I had the rare opportunity (thanks to Fred Norris) to spend time with Chris Bartchy, who (with his wife and two daughters) is a member of a unique community of faith in Munich, Germany. Chris's sister, Beth, is an elder at Grandview.
Below is a picture of Chris as he explains how the community works and lives together. One of the things that makes this community unique is that besides being a commune, of sorts, they maintain private property.
Here is Dr. Norris (retired professor of Christian Doctrine and Missions at ESR), engrossed in the discussion.


We enjoyed a nice Alta Cucina lunch (one of my favorites!) and tried to wrap our little brains around how this community in Munich (which is part of the Roman Catholic Church) functions.
