- Clarence Jordan, the cofounder of Koinonia Farm, poses with the children of community members. By 1956, the population of the farm had grown to around sixty people, but by the end of the 1960s only two families remained.
Clarence Jordan, the cofounder of Koinonia Farm, poses with the children of community members. Nine children stand in front of a horse. One child sits on the horse. Jordan stands near the horse. They stand in front of several trees.
Attempting to live out the principles of pacifism, simplicity, and racial integration, a pair of white Baptist ministers, Martin England and Clarence Jordan, established Koinonia Farm on 400 acres in rural Sumter County, Georgia in 1942. - Metadata URL:
