“To discover is not simply to seek what is new, but it is to reveal what is hidden. As the limits of our systems and institutions are revealed, we, as a community, realize the strengths and abilities that we have to create another way.” tamarackcommunity.ca/library/asset-…

Our Open Discover ABCD courses always bring together an international, interesting and diverse group of people committed to community-centred ways of working. Register today if you'd like to join with me in learning about ABCD: communityrenewal.learnworlds.com/course/opendis…

Great interview with @CormacRussell I chime in once my WIFI started working. consider-this.ca/international-…

@masonmennenga @Jonnyrashid Also, I’m a Canadian :)

@RevMass @Jonnyrashid i get more hesitant with post-liberals who have an ecclesial centric politic and that’s where it ends. i think we ultimately operate within some political framework and we should be honest about what that framework is

@Jonnyrashid @masonmennenga *deleted for edit* Yoder is a difficult conversation and I wouldn’t call Hauerwas apolitical

@masonmennenga @Jonnyrashid My way of political engagement has been liturgically rooted. Centred on the Eucharist I often ask, how am I/we being called to be bread for the world? This has led me to have have some affinities with socialism, but not necessarily an adoption.

@RevMass @Jonnyrashid i don’t think the politics of jesus mean socialism but i think it does mean we will likely have to adopt socialist positions

@RevDaniel God’s loving abundance 👌

Wendell Berry has it down…

Why do we confidently maintain that our health is primarily in the hands of clinicians, that our safety is determined by police response times, and that the quality of our children's education depends on a teacher's qualifications? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

In a very structured definitional sense Communities form the atomic elements of molecular democracy. In a relational sense community is how we care for each other and our surrounds. Democracy is how we care for our freedoms & the freedoms of the stranger. #rekindlingdemocracy
