Episode notes
Individual Covenant in Community
- The OMS covenant is an individual vow to God but lived out in community with others.
- Separating individual commitment from community reduces the order to either a private or a club-like experience.
Value of Enduring Relationships
- Enduring community requires relationships that last over time, transcending location or projects.
- Such relationships build trust allowing deep support regardless of circumstances.
Frederick de Watfield's Lifelong Support
- Frederick de Watfield remained a constant lifelong companion to Count Zinsendorff.
- He was present through formative projects and stayed by Zinsendorff's side until his deathbed.
