Centering the Margins (feat. Duke Kwon)
Manage episode 367522719 series 3489065
In this episode of Around the Block with Pastor T, we dive into the necessity, practices and struggles of centering marginalized groups in order to effective reach the cities. While it's necessary to love and include everyone, we must address the specific needs and realities of different neighborhoods within a city. As we talk with the Reverend Duke Kwon about the history, diversity, and unique challenges of his Washington, D.C. neighborhood, we see how focusing solely on the city as a whole can hinder the successful establishment of churches in marginalized neighborhoods. To effectively reach and serve the city, it is crucial to first reach and connect with the diverse neighborhoods within it. That task, however, is easier said than done.
