Who We Are

Nonviolence—to live by Jesus’ model of a nonviolent way of life and his Sermon on the Mount manifesto (Matthew 5-7)

Hospitality—to welcome everyone in a manner that mirrors the upside down nature of God’s reign (Luke 7:36-50, 14:7-24, etc.); to daily welcome everyone as Christ (Matthew 25).

Community—to live together and share a life of table fellowship, economic resources, labor, study, prayers and worship and to trust that by covenanting with each other, we can do more together than we can do on our own (Acts 2:38,42-47, 4:32-35)

Downward Mobility—to live simply, practice alternative economics and voluntary labor among people on the margins and excluded from life’s resources. Downward mobility comes at personal surrender and connects us to an economy of grace. (Luke 9:57-62; Mark 8:34-38; Matthew 6:19-21, 25-34, 7:13-14).

Revaluing Land and Labor—to rediscover our original connection with the goodness of God’s handiwork, the proper meaning of labor and self-sufficiency, our intimate connection with nature, the need to steward native resources and discern appropriate technology—all to celebrate the sublime mystery of God’s creation (Genesis 2:4-9, 15-16, “Aims and Means.”)

Catholic Worker—We are part of the Catholic Worker movement co-founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. (See the Catholic Worker “Aims and Means”)
