Our Life Together Vol. 4 Nr. 24 June 22, 1976

This issue starts off with another cover of good 1970s artwork illustrating the Kingdom of Camelot.

Of course this is the cover which illustrates Ken's article on Camelot which proved all too prophetic. His article starts with a review of the musical, Camelot which was popular in the 1960s. The musical was a favorite of John F. Kennedy when he was president of the USA. When he was assassinated, his presidency was often described as Camelot -- and of course Camelot came to an end when he died. He goes on to identify our community life with that of the idealism of Arthur's idea of Camelot. He asks the question, "Can Christians really come to love one another?" Can we live out the dream of Camelot?

Ken goes on to present examples from Scripture and from modern life where sin has killed the dream. What would become of us? The quote by Cardinal Suenens is great.

Gary Bell follows with a poem and some artwork about maintaining the dream. I am always amazed by the great talent that was present within the community. Gary was really one of the leaders in making Our Life Together work. I am indebted to him for the loan of his collection which is making it possible for me to upload the work. He is presently in Costa Rica (I believe -- doing missions work). His wife Georgia is with him.

On this next page, Larry Clark continues his series on the history of the Pentecostal Church. He discusses the background of the Assemblies of God and the Foursquare churches. This instruction comes out of our "School of the Prophets." We not only had artistic people, but we also had good teachers; Larry was one of them.

Larry continues his article as he discusses the ministry of Aimee Semple MacPherson. The McFoone cartoon will be discussed on the next page.

McFoone learns about faith.

On this page, Larry concludes his historical article. He presents another article which illustrates the way that we can be troubled by wrong ideas about who God is.

This is a humorous article by Bud Miller about the journey of the Green Lake Team. These trips were always interesting. Notice also the tube tires -- and the $14 price tag. This was a long time ago.

Finally, the issue concludes with the "In the Family" section -- and our need for money to buy the typesetter. Also we were raising money to "termite" the building. To my knowledge, this still has never been done. Maybe some day!
