The Black Forest Project 421: TITUS MORRIS AND THE HENSON CREEK HOUSE OF PRAYER

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life. - Epicurus

February 12 is the birthday of the Amish founder, Jakob Ammann, who was born in 1644. I will give an update on Titus Morris, a farmer from Kentucky who lives a simple life. I had an earlier blog post on him.

I have a motto: it's never too late to give up. It's never too late to give up what you are doing, and start doing what you realise you love. - Hans Rosling

MY THOUGHTS:

I feel that Titus Morris and his community follow 4 core values of the Anabaptist Trio: faith, family, community and simple life. Titus himself, is like Jordan the Jungle Boy of Pagan Island, where he is quite self-sufficient, lives simply and live off grid. The only difference is that one lives on the island, the other lives in the woods near the Appalachian foothills. He says he lives in a similar way to the Amish community, but he does not follow their religion and practices pure Christianity instead. He is a Para-Amish.

I can see similarities between Titus and the McCallum Family. One of them is that they love horses and they use it for work and transport around their area. Just as the McCallums have their own church building, Titus is building the Henson Creek House of Prayer building. If only Titus could meet the McCallums, I will be happy for them all.

I also hope that Titus and Stephanie can start a large family like those Anabaptist families.

“A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.” ― Albert Einstein

Jordan is a man living in near-total isolation on the remote, volcanic Pagan Island in the Northern Mariana Islands, often referred to as the "jungle boy" or one of the most isolated people on Earth. He has lived alone on the island for nearly a decade (as of late 2025/early 2026), surviving by fishing, foraging, and using techniques passed down from his ancestors.

Love Is Work Working together with others is the best way to test our faith, to find out whether or not we are ready to live a life of Christian fellowship. Work is the crucial test of faith because such a life can come into being only where people work for love. Love demands action, and the only really valid action is work. Christian fellowship means fellowship in work. – Eberhard Arnold

From an Amish family in Tasmania, to a Chinese Australian widow in Darwin, piano tuner Martin Tucker encounters people across Australia. Through his craft the audience is introduced to a network of community, soul connection and listening, bound together by the vanishing skill of a piano tuner committed to his calling.
