"Like the crew of many a tall ship, the men and women aboard the Peacemaker eat together, work together, play together, and pray together.
Except the Peacemaker is no ordinary tall ship. This three-masted barquentine belongs to the Twelve Tribes, a religious group whose members believe that their lives most resemble the way humans lived as described in the Bible: in modesty, in tightly knit communities under one roof, sharing all duties, and putting the needs of the group over personal goals."
