Engaging Community, Narrating Change
/Featuring Walter Brueggemann, John McKnight, Peter Block and music by Barbara McAfee
The work of “building community” is a complex and life-long journey; relationship resides at its core. This work is challenged by our culture. Though individuals are very connected technologically, many experience enormous isolation.
We have developed a dependence on systems and institutions to solve problems and meet needs, rather than engaging ourselves collaboratively with others. Currently, conversations about challenges in our neighborhood, workplace, church, city, state or country often start from what we do not have, what we lack, what we need. Such conversations have limited power to create lasting change.
Come, experience a conversation that will offer and inspire new possibilities!
