Bread and Roses - Base community (Brot & Rosen)

Bread and Roses is a Christian-based community living in a rented 18-room building and two adjacent appartments in Hamburg, Germany. We live together, share our house with homeless refugees and migrants, and share income and a lot of other resources. We are inspired by the Catholic Worker movement, other houses of hospitality, and Christian communities in the United States, Latin America and Europe. We have daily morning prayer and an occasional public worship and try to spread our social vision by inviting people to our house and by social actions for marginalized people. We are pacifists and try to live simply to protect the environment. Although presently we live in the city, a sister community in the countryside would be wonderful.
