What is Plough?
Plough publishes Plough Quarterly, a magazine of stories, ideas, and culture to help readers put their faith into practice and apply the teachings of Jesus in today’s world.

What is the Bruderhof?
The Bruderhof is an international communal movement of families and single people seeking to follow Jesus together. Inspired by the first Christians as described in Acts 2 and 4, we share our income, possessions, talents and lives. We base our life together on Jesus’ teachings, especially the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5–7). www.bruderhof.com
