Koinobia
Koinobia - Life together
To live in community on the banks of the Nile. This was the surprising idea of several men and women in the fourth century, in Egypt.
Following the inspiration of the young Pachomius, they made their home in a deserted village, which little by little came to life again. Their example inspired others to begin to do the same thing.

Koinobia - Life together
To live in community on the banks of the Nile. This was the surprising idea of several men and women in the fourth century, in Egypt.
Following the inspiration of the young Pachomius, they made their home in a deserted village, which little by little came to life again. Their example inspired others to begin to do the same thing.
Thus the first koinobia came into being: places where people left everything behind in order to live out the Gospel together.

Neighbours become difficult to get on with.
Would the desire of everyone for harmony be enough? The loss of one person would be failure for all.
Would it turn out to be a joyful adventure, or lead to certain disaster?
