Scholars, artists, activists, and storytellers gather around Clarence Jordan’s legacy.

In 2012, in honor of what would have been Clarence Jordan’s one hundredth birthday and Koinonia’s seventieth anniversary, the first Clarence Jordan Symposium brought together theologians, historians, and activists in Sumter County, Georgia.

Fruits of the Cotton Patch, Volume 2 gathers presentations from that gathering — exploring Jordan’s storytelling, his prophetic voice, and his continuing influence in areas of peacemaking, affordable housing, and the New Monastic movement.

For those who want to go deeper into Clarence’s thought and its connection to the present, this is a rich place to look.
