Kibbitzer: In my opinion, features that distinguish the group as an entity are what should be included. I agree that non-Catholic Christians living communally is a distinguishing feature, along with the rejection of secular employment and schooling. I also agree that this "dropping out" of society was what prompted the ACM opposition, not sexual behaviour. Young people leaving their jobs, families and former religions, to "forsake all for Jesus", and "preaching the Gospel" was the subject of initial publicity about the group in the 60s and early 70s, as far as I have seen. As far as the Charter, if this is the basis of the group's governing structure, this also should be mentioned in the Introduction if the Introduction is meant to be a brief overview.
