- Abstract
- As Christianity has done for centuries, contemporary churches struggle to understand the meaning of suffering and how to respond to it. One significant response to suffering in the last 300 years has been the formation of three utopian communities: Shakers (Ann Lee), Oneida Community (John Humphrey Noyes) and Ephrata Cloister (Conrad Beissel). To understand theologically how these communities dealt with suffering, the theology of the late German liberation theologian, Dorothee Soelle is utilized. Though unaware at the time, utopian leaders lived out Soelle’s theology of suffering and her response to it, and its communal dimension. Contemporary churches can learn a great deal from Dorothee Soelle and the utopian communities about effective responses to suffering.
