The Carpocratians were a libertine Christian sect in second-century Egypt. The Free Daist Communion, a California-based Eastern religious sect founded by Franklin Albert Jones during the 1960s, carries on some of its traditions today. Their practices have attracted a number of criminal lawsuits. When Morton Smith’s book on his discovery went out of print, the Communion’s publishing house, Dawn Horse Press, bought the rights and republished it. Franklin Jones died in 2008.
