Heaven Commune Leader Admits Failure After Decades
Rockford, ML July 19 A long running religious and quasi industrial commune led by George Jacob Schweinfurth ends as he admits his faith waned. The movement promoted Christian socialism with shared property and no formal creed but faced opposition over its stance on marriage. Schweinfurth details his shift, including marriage reform and a move away from the group’s central church. He cites misapplications by followers and says plans for the future are not outlined.
