Before becoming a minister Clarence Jordan earned a degree in agriculture from the University of Georgia. Jordan integrated his ministry with his knowledge of farming by cofounding Koinonia Farm in 1942. The farm operated as a racially integrated Christian community that taught advanced farming techniques to rural farmers in the hopes of increasing profits and alleviating poverty. - Metadata URL:
