AMERICUS, Ga. -- The Christian farm community, Koinonia -- ancient Greek for loving fellowship or community -- is planning a month-long celebration of its 70th anniversary and the 100th birthday of its co-founder, Clarence Jordan.
On Oct. 29, a symposium will be conducted at Georgia Southwestern State University, where speakers will discuss Jordan and his impact in a variety of areas, including peacemaking, racial reconciliation, sustainability and education.
Celebration events include the Renovation Blitz Build Oct. 1-26 and the Koinonia Family Reunion Oct. 26-28.
Koinonia Farm was established in 1942 as a Christian community in Americus and continues to support itself in large part by the operation of its farm, bakery and mail order business.

Looks like the symposium was Sept 28-29, not October.
