If you’re a Hutterite, you now have a new social network.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Hutterite lifestyle, get the 411 by checking out The Hutterite Social Network. Open to Hutterites, ex-Hutterites and anyone itching to learn more about this religious group, the forums are always abuzz with gossip between the nearly 800 members. Members ponder topics such as who is the best candidate for president of the United States and how much television and movies Hutterites watch.

Hankering for Hutterite merchandise? Check out the store for some authentic Hutterite slippers (more items coming soon!). If you’re more in the mood to see the creative talents of members, watch videos such as “Me Playing My Harmonica and Guitar” by Travis or check out photos of Hutterites posing by Kady Joy or irreverent vehicular mishaps. You’ll see that Hutterites like having fun on and offline.

Zu Erinnerung an Bernd Längin, Den

This video is from YouTube User toujoursmontreal …

Below is the the Authors Description….

————

Die deutschsprachigen “Hutterer” leben auf Farmkommunen in der kanadischen Prärie.

Der aus Karlsruhe stammende Buchautor Bernd G. Längin hat mir einen seltenen Zugang zu diesen Menschen ermöglicht.

Sie selbst bezeichnen ihre Kolonien als „Archen im Meer der weltlichen Sünde”. Diesen Film habe ich im Mai 2000 für das Deutsche Fernsehen auf einem Bruderhof in Manitoba gedreht.

Bernd Längin war seit 1973 mein Freund und Kollege. Der „Doktor der Schrift”, wie die Hutterer Bernd Längin nannten, ist am 28. Juni 2008 im Alter von 67 Jahren gestorben. Dieser Film ist ihm gewidmet.

I dedicate my film about a Hutterite colony in Manitoba/Canada to my good friend and colleague Bernd Längin who passed away June 28, 2008 at age 67.

Hutterites Make Time To Donate Blood

August 15, 2008 · Filed Under Hutterites & Health · Comment 

By Elizabeth Huber of The Prairie Post

They came by the van loads.

Young and old, male and female the Hutterites from surrounding colonies were the most notable presence at the Swift Current Blood Donor Clinic.

Apparently, the community’s turnout at the most recent donor clinic is nothing new. As I sat, nervously waiting for my finger to be pricked to test my iron — that is the part I hate the most — I commented to a lady sitting near me that I was surprised by the number of Hutterites within the room. “They come by the van loads,” she said. Without them the donor clinic wouldn’t be nearly as busy.

I believe we should applaud our Hutterite neighbours for so readily supporting the life-saving cause. There was a sign on the wall that had me thinking about life and the busy schedules that have so many of us in a hurry to get nowhere.

I don’t recall it verbatim, but it was something along the line of, while you are sitting her waiting to donate somebody else is waiting for his or her life to be saved.

Approximately every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. In fact, 52 per cent of Canadians say they, or a family member, have needed blood or blood products for surgery or for medical treatment, according to Canadian Blood Services.

A thumbs up, to everyone who takes the time to Donate and the many Hutterites who support this worthy cause.
