add to cart   close window

The article presents information on a utopian farming community established by a group of devout Christians in Georgia, named Koinonia in the year 1942. For a number of years Koinonia has conducted each summer a Vacation Bible School which was attended largely by Afro-American children. In the year 1956, it was decided to try something more intensive, so a summer camp for children eight to twelve years old was held. Though the facilities were quite inadequate, the camp was very successful, with about thirty children of both races attending.
