“The consensus was what they termed “Christian communism,” since they believed that “from each according to ability, to each according to need” was the proper church approach.”

“A nation could choose to observe socialist tenets. Communism meant rigid government control—people had no choice other than to comply, and government mandate rather than personal accomplishment determined the course of their lives. Peoples Temple socialism was intended to change hearts through example, not coercion.”
