"Love" is their watchword, isn't it? Well, God is Love.

The early Christians.  Look at the early Christians.  Look at the early chapters of the Acts os the Apostles.  On the Day of Pentecost the apostles seemed to go barmy.  They spoke in tongues.  People said, are these men drunk?  Peter said, well, it's only nine o'clock in the morning.  We could hardly be drunk yet, even if we were drunkards.

And they all stopped working.  Those that owned property sold it, and divided up the money among the community.  This is all rather hippie.  Then the apostles said, we can't be bothered with administering this stuff.  We'll appoint some diggers to take care of it.  They called them deacons.  Afterwards the Christians turned around - by the time they were capturing the Roman Empire, say, the second or third centuries.  They were still Christians, but they were no longer speaking in tongues or living without working.  That was only temporary.  They had a hippie start but they turned to something positive - and of course also more worldly.

If we had been alive then and contemplated those early Christians, we might have said: " Well, this is very hippie.  It won't come to anything."

And we would have been wrong.
