Event Details

 

What? a facilitated conversation

In what way is Jesus and his way actually revolutionary? Is Jesus’ call to “seek the Kingdom” actually a call to nonviolent resistance, to solidarity with the poor, to liberation for the oppressed?

What structures within our society (organizational structures, thought structures, etc.) get in the way of that happening? And what way can we realistically embody the Kingdom alternative?

Join us as we talk honestly about the radical call of Jesus, the distractions that gets in the way, and how we can begin to to create Kingdom spaces in the here and now.

This conversation will be facilitated by Mark Van Steenwyk (founder of Missio Dei, Minneapolis and conspirator at The Common Root) and Eliacín Rosario-Cruz (member of the Mustard Seed House, Seattle and Community Cultivator with Mustard Seed Associates)
