::WHAT::

The Christian tradition marks the formal beginning of the church—those people who believed Jesus Christ was God’s son, crucified and now resurrected—with the coming of the Holy Spirit described in Acts. We’re told that people of different languages and backgrounds begin to hear and understand one another; the Holy Spirit has translated us (and for us) across so many divides. Soon thereafter, communities form, money and resources are shared, and this already- strange people becomes stranger still, but not strangers. Neighbors.

In this course, we invite All Souls Church to consider what it means to “neighbor well.” All Souls Church is a new fixture in this neighborhood. Members have spent time listening and attempting to understand our neighbors. It seems appropriate to ask, “what’s now?” How can All Souls Church seek Jesus and his kingdom for our neighborhood?
