Although churches address themselves primarily to the life of the spirit, human beings are embodied creatures who live in place-based communities—urban, suburban, and exurban. In this session we explored the difference the physical location of a church makes for Christian ministry and sense of mission, addressing such topics as church accessibility, transit and parking, congregational diversity, connection to the public realm and support of the "commons", community involvement, niche versus place-based ministries, and the idea of the parish.
This workshop will examine why corporate gathering and worship as the church require us to address potentially polarizing issues.
In today’s diverse and interconnected world, understanding and addressing trauma through a culturally responsive lens is essential for creating inclusive and healing worship experiences.
What is creativity, and why do we still need to talk about it? Join Sandra McCracken in a conversation on faith, imagination, and creativity.
