Life Together

Bernard, Marianne, and Peter discuss why IQ and SAT scores should not determine a person's worth and how our society's valuation of people's value is not in accordance with Christianity. Also, Peter declares war on meritocracy. Then, as part of a continuing discussion of the document "Foundations of our Faith and Calling," the Bruderhof's public account of its faith and practice, they contemplate what lessons we should and should not draw from the lives of the earliest Christians.
