<blockquote>

The appearance of the Jesus People can be traced to California where in 1967 the Living Room coffeehouse was opened as a mission to the Haight-Ashbury district’s inhabitants... Linda Meissner, member of evangelist David Wilkerson's Teen Challenge group in New York City, shared of her vision for an army of believers to the churches in Seattle. The overwhelming response resulted in the Jesus People Army, a networking of coffeehouses and Christian communes all geared towards the common goal of evangelization. Though spontaneously beginning on the West coast, the Jesus Movement, as it was later dubbed, quickly spread to other parts of North America. The biblical book of Acts provided solid proof that Christianity implied community. Thus, over 800 Jesus communal houses were established between 1967 and 1972. The underground paper, a staple of countercultural communication, was utilized as a tool of evangelism. The Hollywood Free Paper and Right On! had publication runs of over 200,000 copies per issue. The innate tension between spirit and tradition added another chapter to its long history.</ref>
