SEEKERS 96  --   a gathering of young people

This is an invitation to a conference hosted by the young people of the Bruderhof movement.  We want to get together with other young people for an intense weekend of 
both fun and soul-searching.  We hope to build friendships and encourage each other in our common search.

What is the Bruderhof?
	We at the Bruderhof try to put the radical teachings of Jesus of Nazareth into practice in our everyday life. This compels us to live in Christian community. We 
believe that Jesus� message is a viable answer to the problems we all face.  Read The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew, Chapters 5-7, any Bible).  Can we live by these 
words?  Can we really love our enemies? Is it possible for people to live completely for others?  What would the world be like if we did?

Why gather?
	Look at the suffering in the world around us; the hatred, prejudice, war, poverty, loneliness, and fear.  Our society has failed miserably.  Our government has 
failed.  Our churches have failed.  Our schools have failed. Our families have failed.  And most us are too busy looking out for ourselves to do anything about it.  It can�t go 
on like this any longer.  Something has to change.  

What can we do? 
	Who knows?  We certainly don't have all the answers. That's why we're getting together.  SEEKERS 96 is for anyone who believes that we can and must do 
something.  We must be ready for action, to sacrifice everything to make our dreams a reality.

What�s the weekend going to be like?
	SEEKERS 96 is an informal conference. Be yourself.  Be willing to listen to others and to learn from them.  Don't take yourself  too seriously.  Come ready to have 
some fun.  We will enjoy being together, whether we are talking, working, playing, hiking, singing, or eating.

Where is SEEKERS 96 going to happen?
	SEEKERS 96 will be hosted by the Deer Spring Bruderhof in Norfolk, Connecticut.  Norfolk is conveniently located in the northwest corner of the state, about an 
hour from Hartford and the nearest bus and train stations.  If transportation is a problem, let us know.	

When is SEEKERS 96?
	The conference will start on Friday, September 20, in the evening and will end at noon on Sunday, September 22.  More information will be available closer to the 
date.
