Another story I would suggest interacting with are the
The Cotten Patch Gospels and a discussion of the Koinania Farms community.

Clarence Jordon was a southern, southern baptist, minister who attempted to live out the gospel in an racially integrated community in the 1950s and 60s in rural Georgia.

At the last meeting Ian suggested some folks take these books and work on summarizing them for the group. I am starting to blog my way through Life Together on my blog:

I can’t promise much … and please if someone wants to cross post it here so its easier to discuss please do so.
Life Together is an old favorite of mine, my copy is marked and worn. I would be really interested in someone else taking it up as well at some point, so that I can see it again with fresh eyes.
See ya in a little while.
