Editing Bruderhof Communities (section)

=== BBC Inside Out ===
In March 2020, the BBC's ''Inside Out South East'' published a series of allegations from former members of the community that variously described attempted exorcism of a woman with mental health problems, public punishment of teenagers who had relationships and hostile attitudes to those who left the community.  The Bruderhof objected to the programme, pointing out that the journalist who made the programme had never visited the community.  They also said that the most serious allegations had been reported to statutory authorities who had chosen to take no further action.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Response to BBC Inside Out South East |url=https://www.bruderhof.com/en/inside-out |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127020454/https://www.bruderhof.com/en/inside-out |archive-date=2021-01-27 |access-date=August 21, 2020 |website=Bruderhof |language=en}}</ref>

The Bruderhof issued a statement saying the testimony of former members in this story presented a "misleading account" of the community. "We are an open and welcoming Christian community who, while not perfect, are doing our best to make the world a better place," it said. "Ofsted has for decades been inspecting the provision we make for our children and has never found any cause for concern. The Bruderhof is 100 years old this year. In that time we haven't got everything right, for which we are sorry. We are committed to listening to anyone who feels hurt by their experiences with the Bruderhof."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000g1jt |title=Inside Out|access-date=August 21, 2020|website=BBC}}</ref>
