We believe that every human being has a longing for true justice, true love
and unity. Therefore, the open door of the community is open to everyone.
At the same time we realize that not every person is ready for community
at
every stage of his or her life. You can't expect everyone to be able to
accept it at every moment. For example, I can't simply stand at the
Leipzigerstrasse in Berlin and call, "Come here, all of you, come and live
at the Bruderhof!" It is not cowardice that keeps us from doing this. It
would be folly; many people would simply not be in the position to
understand such a call. They would not be mature enough in their inner
development to follow it. God must call them first. I have no right to
call
anyone unless the Spirit himself has already called him.
