German `Society of Brothers' Christian
Protestant sect with beliefs similar to the
Mennonites. They live in groups of families
(single persons are assigned to a family),
marry only within the sect (divorce is not
allowed), and retain a `modest' dress for
women (cap or headscarf, and long skirts).
Originally established in Germany, there are
Bruderhof communities in the USA, and in
Robertsbridge, E Sussex, UK; they support
themselves by making children's toys.
