The book ‘Gdynia – wspólnota wspólnot’ (Gdynia – a community of communities), published by KACK Publishing House, tells the story of a church on the border between Gdynia and Sopot, which no longer exists, the lives of the people who built Gdynia, the first communities and dreams that came true. The publication, released on the 100th anniversary of Gdynia being granted city rights, was very well received by readers.
