From its beginnings as a dream experienced by Karl König, through the difficult first years, when it was hardly accepted by other co-workers, today the Bible Evening has spread throughout the world. It has become a defining feature of Camphill.
If a community is a living organism, one that shares certain characteristics with plants, animals and human beings, then it must contain some “hidden seed” that is its soul, its spiritual entity, its identity. Within the Camphill communities the Bible Evening is this unifying force.
But the Bible Evening has reached far beyond the Camphill communities themselves. It is somewhere that participants can learn deeper listening to others. It has become a place where we can celebrate ongoing community building.
Camphill has a place to play in the modern world, and the Bible Evening has
a place to play within Camphill.
