During World War II, "The Adelphi" was temporarily edited from The Adelphi…Centre in Langham, Essex, a center founded in anticipation of the war to support "works of constructive pacifism" and to explore "new forms of social living". It combined a refuge for victims of bombing raids, a community farm and market garden and educational activities directed towards the regeneration of society. The editor, Max Plowman, reports that the centre "is experiencing a great revival.I believe we are on the eve of making the Langham Voluntary Service Scheme a great pioneering example of creative pacifist living."Among the contents of this wartime issue are "A Turn at the Trance", an article on working in a factory by Jack Common; "Religious Objections to Evolution" by Robert Hamilton; "Old Hat--or New?" by Dorothy Plowman; and "Lighten Our Darkness", an article on evil and "Sunday school goodness" by Max Plowman.
