Bernard, Marianne, and Peter discuss the flood of recent news vis-à-vis unwanted sexual advances and harassment of women by men in positions of power and how it points to a fundamental misunderstanding of masculinity. They respond to some listeners' questions regarding women's dress on the Bruderhof, address a listener's observation that a church today that lived like the first Christians would be considered a cult, and wrap up a conversation about David Bentley Hart's New York Times article on voluntary sharing in the Early Church.
