While the world becomes increasingly complex, professionalized, and disconnected, the church is experiencing a crisis of identity. Do we follow suit and strive to out-program, out-professionalize, and out-attract the rest of the world? Or do gather at the table and focus on the small and simple community-based practices that have been our strength across the generations?
At the Table is a Podcast for church leaders interested in community-based ministry that contributes to the common good via mutual relationships, spiritual practice, simplicity, and an awareness of God’s activity in our communities. Each month, we will have conversations with leaders and practitioners of community-based ministry to reflect on and learn about the core practices, theological underpinnings, and immediate invitations of this important work. We believe that something miraculous happens when Christian community gathers with neighbors at the table.

Cormac has written several books on ABCD, and his most recent, co-authored with John McKnight, is titled "The Connected Community: Discovering the Health, Wealth, and Power of Neighborhoods" . His books, articles, and presentations have been a significant part of my own education on asset-based community development, and I am so grateful he joined me for this conversation. In this episode, we talk about the asset-based community development framework, the power of discovery as a step towards connected communities, and the role that churches can play in fostering the good life in their own neighborhoods. I hope you enjoy listening in on my conversation with Cormac Russell. Be sure to follow Cormac Russell's work at Cormac Russell - Nurture Development www.nicholastangen.com…
Today's episode is a conversation with Chuck Marohn, the founder and President of Strong Towns , a non-profit working to reimagine community development in the United States. Chuck and his team at Strong Towns advocate for development that is adaptable, financially responsible and profitable, and local. They remind us that the current models of development, including the Suburban experiment are modern practices with short-term imaginations, and that thriving communities across history and context develop incrementally through local control, community collaboration, and good financial sense. In this episode, Chuck and I talk about the Suburban Experiment and its limitations, why churches are a great context for talking about community development, and what it means for the church to be a good neighbor. I had a great time talking with a fellow Minnesotan and community builder, and I hope you have a blast listening to my conversation with Chuck Marohn.

Today's episode is a conversation with Dr Cindy Lee, a spiritual director, professor, mystic, and author of Our Unforming: De-Westernizing Spiritual Formation. In her book, Dr Lee untangles the limits of a spirituality developed and understood by and through one single cultural lens. The cultural lens of the West has dominated the language and practice of faith, especially in the US - and her book is an effort to identify a more robust spirituality for our times - one the embraces the diversity of cultures, practices, and worldviews. In this episode, we talk about the marks of Western spiritual formation, how its dominance has impacted our relationship with the neighborhood, and the gifts of spiritual direction. Stepping beyond the walls of our churches, into the neighborhoods where God has called us, will challenge our notions of how our faith and practice is formed and embodied. So, I hope you enjoy this conversation about the many possibilities with Dr. Cindy Lee. www.nicholastangen.com…

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяToday’s episode is a conversation with Gabrielle Clowdus, one of the founders and leaders with Settled, a Minnesota-based organization helping churches to establish permanent supportive tiny home villages for folks experiencing long-term homelessness. Settled’s approach to addressing homelessness includes housing, but more importantly, focuses on building supportive networks with church members and neighbors to support folks coming out of long-term homelessness. Gabrielle and her team work with congregations to create the context and the spiritual depth that prepares them to reimagine their property for tiny home villages and supports them as they live into the realities of living in and among their neighbors. In this episode we talk about the original vision for Settled, what a Sacred Settlement looks like at churches they work with, the beautiful messiness of working and living alongside long-term homelessness, and what it takes for churches to host these kinds of vital communities. Settled is thinking well outside the box when it comes to homelessness and inviting churches to take advantage of their property and live into the freedom of the Gospel for the sake of the common good.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяToday’s episode is a conversation with Amar Peterman , a scholar, writer, and theologian living in Milwaukee and currently working for Interfaith America. Through his newsletter This Common Life, Amar reflects on the Christian call into the public square, and his forthcoming book of the same title, is an effort to name a uniquely Christian conception of the common good. Amar’s experience navigating the predominately white spaces in the Evangelical church as an Indian-American adoptee has given him a healthy skepticism about simplistic definitions of the common good. Left unexamined, the common good can become one more tool of marginalization, especially when defined by what majority culture decides is both common and good. Amar’s careful analysis and studied theological thought make him an incredible and principled leader in the world of public theology and the place-based church. We talk about what we mean by both the words common and good, the qualities of authentic Christian community, and the centrality of Jesus Christ in our work towards the many common goods. Amar is an amazing writer, a brilliant theologian, and a good friend who always challenges me to examine my own theological commitments and exercise some precision when talking about God’s work in the commons.

Jim Bear also curated and facilitates a Sacred Sites Tour in the Twin Cities, exploring sites of importance for the Dakota people, the original residents and stewards of the area. Jim Bear is a storyteller at heart, and the Sacred Sites Tour that he leads folks on is a testament to his skill and his love the craft. And he is quick to remind his listeners that story is not just something that emerges from the mind or the individual, but resides in place, in the community and in the very earth on which a story happened and where that story is told. In this episode, we talk about the nature of this place-based storytelling and its roots in Indigenous traditions, why it’s important for white folk and dominant culture churches to learn the stories, past and present, or their indigenous neighbors, and how to pay attention to the sacred spaces in our own neighborhoods. This is an episode that might be good to listen to on a walk in your own community, but wherever you listen, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Rev Jim Bear Jacobs.

Each month, Pete, his spouse, and the community at St Peter’s Lutheran church open the church to neighbors and community members in need of repairs for household items – vacuums, lamps, chairs, clothing, zippers, and more. Repair coaches help folks to restore their things to working condition, teaching them valuable skills, and building community along the way. The repair café movement was started in Amsterdam by Martine Potsma as a way of resisting a throw away culture, encouraging sustainability, and lessening the number of things taking up space in landfills. Today, there are over 2500 repair cafes across the world. Pete and his team have been hosting the Port Jervis repair café since 2023, and have learned a lot in just under a year of operation. In this episode Pete gives us a glimpse into the experience of a repair café, and we talk about planned obsolescence , the throw away culture, and the power of restoration through simple repairs. The repair cafes are a beautiful expression of neighborhood creativity and the common good, and a model of engagement that faith communities seem especially capable of practicing.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяToday’s episode is a conversation with Tammy Greidanus and Howard Lawrence from Keep Neighbouring in Edmonton , formerly called Abundant Communities. Keep Neighbouring is an initiative that builds connections and relationships between neighbors to support healthy communities, bringing folks together for block parties, place-based projects, and community development. For over a decade, the Abundant Communities initiative has focused on connecting neighbors one block at a time, contributing to a greater sense of safety and security, and providing increased opportunity for neighbors to participate in civic life. The very beginning of this work in Edmonton was influenced by Asset-Based Community Development and the work of Peter Block, including the book Abundant Communities: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods . Howard and Tammy, both neighbors and practitioners, work with Keep Neighboring and bring years of wisdom leading neighbor-led and place-based work on the ground. We talk about asset-based community development, why block parties matter, how cities and local governments can support the work, and what they have learned over the last decade of focusing on neighborhood relationships and development. Keep Neighboring is an incredible example of a city and neighborhoods taking relationships seriously for the sake of the common good.

Dr Kaplan draws on his years of experience working with international organizations and governments, as well as his own rich neighborhood life and faith community, to invite citizens and institutions to renew our attention to the places where we live and the neighborhood relationships that help communities, and indeed nations, to flourish. I think “Fragile Neighborhoods” is essential reading for anyone who wants to take place-based work seriously, and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Seth Kaplan.

In 2023, I have had 16 different conversations with lay people, clergy, writers, activists, and neighbors all committed to the idea of a place-based and discerning church. A church with the power and the freedom to contribute to the flourishing of their neighborhood, not with services and charity, but with connection, community, and authenticity. These conversations have been catalysts for my own work and imagination, and I pray that they have been for you as well. As we come to the end of Season 1, my hope is that in listening to these episodes you have allowed yourself to imagine a church interested more in its neighbor than its survival, committed to an alternative story than one of consumption, colonialism, and professionalization. I’ve enjoyed working on this podcast more than I could have anticipated, and I plan to launch Season 2 in January of 2024 . If this conversation interests, inspires, or even frustrates you, please be sure to subscribe, to reach out with questions or inspiration , and to bring these ideas to your own faith community. You can also subscribe to my monthly newsletter which includes my own writing, prayers and litanies you can use in worship, and updates on the podcast. After a year of conversation, I am convinced more than ever that the common good, animated by the saving grace of Jesus, shows up powerfully every time we gather together with our neighbors at the table. Until next year, peace be with you. www.nicholastangen.com…
Today’s episode is a conversation with Reverend Jose Humphreys III, a pastor, church planter, and consultant helping the church to take place seriously and think differently about the impact of our dollars. He is the author of Seeing Jesus in East Harlem: What Happens When Churches Show Up and Stay Put, and Ecosystems of Jubilee: Economic Ethics for the Neighborhood. Rev Jose and I talk about Metro Hope Covenant Church which he helped plant in Harlem, the beauty of particularity, and an alternative economic posture for churches rooted in place. Rev Jose calls us to a renewed discipleship in and among the neighborhood where we live and worship, and genuine curiosity about what God is up to in the lives of our neighbors. I had so much fun having this conversation, and I hope at the end of the episode you’ll leave as energized as I did by Rev Jose Humphreys.

Today’s episode is a conversation with Stephanie and Darryl Answer, who are faculty members at the Asset Based Community Development Institute at DePaul University , and founders of New Community Church in Kansas City, Missouri. New Community is a church that takes seriously the call to be the neighbor by highlighting and animating gifts, reimagining how the church thinks about money and power, and tending to their neighborhood’s relational capital. Darryl and Stephanie truly practice what they preach and offer a vision for church rooted in place and profoundly aware of the presence of Jesus among neighbors. These two are such an inspiration to me and offer the church so much wisdom, and more importantly, permission to be the church in the particular places where God has called us to live and worship.

Today’s episode is a conversation with Pastor Travis Norvell, known around town and on Twitter as the Pedaling Pastor. Travis serves at Judson Memorial Baptist Church in South Minneapolis and can often be seen riding his bike around the neighborhood, connecting with community members. He’s the author of “ Church on the Move: A Practical Guide for Ministry in the Community ”, a book that highlights the impact possible when churches leave the car at home and bike, walk, and bus in their neighborhood. He has a vision for what he calls the bikeable parish – a geography of ministry that focuses our attention locally and attends to the small simple ways we connect as community. In this conversation, Pastor Travis and I talk about what churches can discover from the seat of a bicycle, how to reimagine church parking lots, and what it means to embrace a new relationship to time as church’s rooted in place.

Today’s episode is a conversation with DeAmon Harges, the original roving listener. DeAmon has been about that place-based work for his whole life, and credits his grandparents with instilling the skills and temperament for listening deeply within community. A couple months ago, I interviewed Pastor Mike Mather on the podcast, who worked alongside DeAmon at Broadway Methodist Church in South Bend, Indiana. Pastor Mike told me that DeAmon work as the Roving Listener broadened his and the congregation’s view of the neighbors and the neighborhood, revealing the wild abundance of gifts present in the blocks near the church. DeAmon continues to listen and animate the gifts of his community through an organization he found with his neighbors called the Learning Tree, and his wisdom about how to discover and practice abundance is a gift to the church and the neighborhoods they live in.
