Jesus Christians were a small radical Christian group that practiced communal living and distributed Bible-based comics and books.
The group was started in New South Wales, Australia, by Dave and Cherry McKay in 1975. It has operated under several different names, including Christians; The Medowie Christian Volunteers; and Voices in the Wilderness. The name 'Jesus Christians' was selected in 1996. ("A Change of Name", August, 1996)
In November 2010, the Jesus Christians "officially disbanded." However, Dave and Cherry McKay continue to manage a website called the "Jesus Christians."

Famous quotes containing the words jesus and/or christians:
“When pain of the world surrounds us with darkness and despair,
When searching just confounds us with false hopes ev’rywhere,
When lives are starved for meaning and destiny is bare,
We are called to follow Jesus and let God’s healing flow through us.”
—Jim Strathdee (20th century)
“Jews do not like the country, yes thank you, christians donot all like the city. Yes and thank you. There are no differences between the city and the country and very likely every one can be daily daily and by that timely.”
