Monks in Switzerland have reportedly initiated an 'unconventional recruitment drive' via an advertisement "in a classifieds section normally reserved for high-flying executive roles." Men joining their community are promised "freedom from personal material wealth" rather than the exorbitant salaries typically paid to top executives. The order hopes to reverse the large decline it has experienced over the past decade.
"Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting." (Our Lord Jesus Christ, Lk. 18:29-30)
