Our Saviour in San Gabriel, California, and serves as Director of
Housing Ministry, overseeing the Jubilee Homes for recovering men
and women. After he lived at Koinonia Farm, he went to Fuller
Theological Seminary, receiving his MDiv degree in 1974.
""'Shattering the Status Quo' (chapter 1) focuses on Jordan's core message -- still so timely for today's readers. If you want to have your thinking challenged, read this book. If not, don't touch!"" Millard Fuller, Founder and President, Habitat for Humanity International ""Clarence Jordan had a rare combination of Biblical scholarship, passionate faith, and -- most important -- the courage to put that faith into action."" Don Mosley, Jubilee Partners ""Faithful to the radical gospel itself. Stands as a prophetic, honest, highly useful reminder of what the gospel is."" Christian Century
