Book Group: Grace Can Lead Us Home

Interested in deepening your understanding of housing justice? Join our book group to read Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness by Kevin Nye. This study is a chance to move beyond feeling overwhelmed by the homelessness crisis and explore a faith-based approach to engaging with it.

The book, written by minister and advocate Kevin Nye, demystifies complex issues like affordable housing, addiction, and mental illness, while re-envisioning our theological response. It offers a powerful message: Jesus, from the margins, has something to teach us all about grace that could change the landscape of homelessness and our response to it.

We’ll meet every other Tuesday 7:30 -9 via Zoom starting 9/23. Register here.
