UrbanMinistry.org — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 18:15:09 +0000

For seventeen years, Mission Waco has been mobilizing hundreds of middle class students and adults toward more compassionate involvement among the poor through its weekend Poverty Simulations and Out-of-Country Exposure trips. This workshop will describe how carefully designed experiences confront many of the myths about the poor during the guided mining. It will also provide both guidelines from building this experiential training from a Christ perspective and other creative initiatives which stretch Christians who want to be more involved in ministry with the marginalized.

Shane Claiborne, Dr. Jimmy Dorrell & Rev. Craig Wong: Why Ecclesiology Matters: CCDA 2006 Audio

UrbanMinistry.org — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:25:58 +0000

What is the Church? Most Americans (Christan or not) seem inclined to describe the Church in terms of what it does or doesn't do, particularly in terms of growth and social impact. The question then becomes, "how is the Church distinct from any other human organization?" We Christians are quick to act but do we know why, and to what end? If we are unclear about our ecclesial identity and mission, we risk being at best charitable or even "radical" without bearing witness to anything different than what the world can already produce. Craig Wong (Grace Fellowship Community Church), Shane Claiborne (the Simple Way), and Jimmy Dorrell (The Church Under the Bridge) each represent very different congregations yet share a common insistence on taking theology of Church seriously.

Experiential learning for middle-class Christians about the issues of poverty are very effective through an intensive plunge for students and adults.

Including the Excluded: Mental Illness and Recovery

Of all folks in our communities, the mentally ill and those recovering from addiction desperately need to be loved and included. Yet the average church or ministry struggles to find meaningful ways to embrace those on the margins. The panel discusses the important threads that are missing in the tapestry of Kingdom Shalom and how intentional community can be formed to include and empower these that are commonly “excluded.”
