I'm not sure how I feel about this. Jesus didn't call His disciples to retreat into seclusion. They had to go out into the world and make disciples of the pagans and the Jews. This sounds like a Catholic ghetto or isolated Amish-esque community. I wish him luck, but I wouldn't live there.

Sort of my take also (I a Lutheran BTW). Probably a great place to raise kids, but we are called to be a light to the world.

But at the same time a movement like this COULD be a light. A view of a way of life that is unlike what you can see in most US towns.

Well, and I mean this with all due respect, we certainly have not done much lighting in this world have we? So, perhaps this is another way of showing Gods goodness?
