Hutterites practice total community of goods: all property is owned by the church, and provisions for individual members and their families come from the common resources. This practice is based largely on Hutterite interpretation of passages in chapters 2, 4, and 5 of Acts, which speak of the believers "having all things in common".

Hutterites are another splinter Christian group escaping persecution in Europe. They came to America to practice their traditional, pastoral life in peace and isolation. Sort of like the Amish or the people in M. Night Shyamalan's "Village". They emerged from the Anabaptist Movement in 16th century Europe and arrived in America in the 1870's settling in Montana and parts of Canada. Their "colonies" shun modern amenities (no TV, computers, make-up, cell phones) and all property is shared.
