Clarence Jordan was born on July 29, 1912, and co-founded Koinonia in November 1942, a few months after he turned 30. Though he died almost 55 years ago, his words and actions still attract people to the community he helped create. He wouldn’t want us to get all silly about his birth, life, or death. He would want us to stay focused on feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving drink to the thirsty, and visiting those who are sick or in prison.
