Our 6th Faith Land Discernment Cohort Begins!

This past Saturday, three congregations joined us as we kicked off our 6th Faith Land Discernment Cohort! The first session of our cohort invites faith communities to dive deep into the historic relationships between race, faith, and land in this region and begin to design their own discernment through this history and a faith-rooted organizing methodology. Our team engages with each faith community’s traditions and specific context, facilitating faith-rooted organizing practices, and anti-racist values to:

• Design and practice a contextual discernment process that centers deep listening, learning, and collaborative and effective decision making.

• Cultivate deeper relationships and engagement with neighborhood stakeholders, leading to more vital and active communities of faith.

• Facilitate a network of faith communities and community leaders building collective power around faithful stewardship of land.

We are excited for all that this cohort will learn and share together over the next few months. Sound like something your faith community would be interested in exploring? Learn more here and reach out for a conversation!
