Claudio Oliver is a pastor and the founder of a Christian community, Casa da Videira (House of the Vine). This collective of families is dedicated to “following the steps of Jesus,” and their work in organic gardening, waste management, and fair trade is inspired by Jesus, the first Christians, and guides as diverse as Thomas Aquinas, William Booth, Leo Tolstoy, Eberhard Arnold, and Vandana Shiva. The group has recently relocated to a town near Lisbon, Portugal.
