As stated earlier, it was not the intention of Brother Michael or the early Brothers to form a new community of religious. Their goal was a personal one: to love the Lord with all their hearts, and to give themselves to the service of God’s Kingdom. God, however, had larger plans. In the spring of 1984, the time came to move into a larger residence; one side of a three-bedroom duplex located at 1154 Ashland Avenue in Saint Paul. It was within these walls that the basic Way of Life was defined and written down. The Brothers began a custom of signing a one-year “Covenant,” agreeing to live in the Brotherhood and to remain celibate for the Kingdom of God. The Brothers began to receive many more inquiries, and it soon became evident that we would again need to find another dwelling place. |
