"The opposite of poverty is not wealth, it is shalom."

We have filtered out the need for divine transformation by shielding ourselves from those who are different and creating illusory worlds we can control. Nothing awakens our need for the transcendent like opening in vulnerability to the neighborhood and being known.

It’s hard to capture the beauty and power of this week in London - Birmingham - Oxford. The amount of transforming conversations seemed endless. Thank you @immykaur @pastahj @timsoerens… instagram.com/p/BqA-GwulE2P/…

Can we stop just for a moment recycling same conversations about future cities, purpose driven cities, compassionate cities, sustainable cities or whatever the latest buzz word is, & build real examples, with real people & not all the same bluster to impress same power circles? – at Birmingham, England
The neighborhood work @PastahJ has begun with his church in Englewood, Chicago is spreading fast. We can’t wait for you to hear his powerful message at @NewParishConf on the week of this book’s official release.
"Nobody - and I mean nobody - tells it like @PastahJ! Church Forsaken is the wake-up call we have needed... But beware - the ringtone is jacked into hip-hop beats, street preaching, and some of the most binge-worthy front porch storytelling you can find." -@paul_sparks

"Let me be straightforward with you. You cannot wait any longer. This book from @AndrewMenzies67 and #DeanPhelan is the best survival guide for getting you across the desert from the old world to the new! Practical incarnational ecclesiology at its finest." -@paul_sparks

Join in as we track the great convergence:
The everyday parish changes what it means to be the church in the hyperconnected age. It's mysterious & unfolding, but we're tracking the diverse movement of artists, authors, poets & practitioners whose work converges around the shift

Just received a pre-copy of this fantastic @ivpress book by Jennifer Allen Craft. It is a brilliant yet accessible treatise on the role of place in the Christian life, and why art is a critical practice for becoming fully and imaginatively present to our places. -@paul_sparks

Sleep is now a spiritual practice for staying awake. In the age of fear and scarcity, it signals trust and abundance, and is one of the last affronts to the pervasive capitalization of work time, consumption time, and marketing time.

The neighborhood incarnation model is anchored in a fundamental identification with the local neighborhood as a God-given parish. ...Their approach to mission arises from their parish identity, [and] is understood as a spiritual practice in itself. -Author @chrisbjames
