Description
This experience explores an intentional effort to create a new cultural reality in urban congregations in St. Paul. It is not about race or ethnicity, but about an introduction to the culture and disciplines of church-based community organizing in a diverse, urban, multicultural context. Site visits with pastors and lay leaders in St. Paul Area Synod Urban Strategy congregations. Tour the community, meet neighborhood residents, and ride with community police, while exploring models for pastoral leadership. During your experience, please plan for DAILY FULL TIME (9 to 5) Saturdays, Sundays, and some evening participation. Registration and a $100 non-refundable deposit are required.
