Lord's Acre Movement : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lord's Acre Movement
The Lord's Acre Movement is an international social movement that originated in Bluffton, Georgia in 1922,〔"Georgia Historical Society to Dedicate "Lord's Acre" Historical Marker, http://www.georgiahistory.com/stories/265〕 when Rev. Henry M. Melton asked each of the farmers in his congregation to set aside one acre of farmland, donating the proceeds of "the Lord's acres" to the church.〔 After word spread that the acres were untouched by the boll weevil, the "Lord's Acre" quickly expanded into an international and interdenominational phenomenon, particularly after its success was reported in Time Magazine.〔 As of 2013, the Lord's Acre Movement continues to provide funding for churches, having expanded "beyond farmland to include projects of donated time and service, and to auctions and sales featuring homemade goods, arts, and crafts."〔 ==History==
