                  <text>AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIAN MINISTERS IN GEORGIA&#13;
Macon, Georgia&#13;
April 7, 1957&#13;
"In regard to recent publicity concerning Koinonia Farm Inc. near Americus, Georgia, we, the undersigned, in light of our present understanding express our belief that:&#13;
1. Koinonia Farm is a Christian community.&#13;
2. Acts of violence have come from persons outside the Koinonia group.&#13;
3. No connection exists between Koinonia Farm and the Communist Party.&#13;
We pray that God 's truth and Christ’s redeeming love may be revealed in this present crisis in Sumter County.”&#13;
