DO 253 - Plough Magazine and the Bruderhof w/ Alan Koppschall

How has the Bruderhof community balanced individual autonomy with collective decision-making to maintain harmony and functionality?


Ashley sits down with Alan Kopschel, editor at Plough Magazine and a member of the Bruderhof community. Together, they explore the unique history and philosophy of the Bruderhof community, a Christian community founded on values of pacifism, shared resources, and direct accountability. Alan sheds light on Bruderhof’s commitment to communal living, regenerative agriculture, and a governance system that balances personal autonomy with collective needs. Ashley and Alan get into Bruderhof's international growth, cultural traditions, and practical strategies for maintaining harmony and purpose in a shared life.


Alan Koppschall is a managing editor and an event coordinator at Plough. He is a member of the Bruderhof and lives at the Fox Hill Bruderhof in Walden, New York. Twitter: @koppsch_a
