Embody: Follow. Seek. Take. – A Conference for the Church in the City

Embody is a week of community happenings about incarnating the Presence of Jesus in the City. 

From 39 stories of the hope across 13 Boston neighborhoods featured at the Hope Rising Gallery Event (APR 17–18) on Boston Common, to stories told throughout the week by more than 40 individuals from Park Street Church and surrounding churches, you will get a fuller picture of God’s love for our city and his kingdom work through his people. Listen to and learn from a diverse array of church leaders, professionals, students, volunteers, and others who are embodying the presence of Jesus in the city. You will also have an opportunity to preview our “Communities of Missional Practice” studies which will be launching soon after the conference. Keynote teaching from Hugh Halter (Founder of Post Commons and Lantern Network) and Mark Booker (Senior Minister of Park Street Church) will ground the conference in the gospel call to embody the presence of Jesus Christ.  

Come join us, a conference for the whole church in the city, as we seek to Follow Jesus, Seek his kingdom, and Take his yolk upon us that we may learn from him and find rest for our souls.

Boston Ujima Project and Faith Communities for a Solidarity Economy

We are growing a network of faith organizations as part of the Boston Ujima Project, which organizes neighbors, workers, business owners and investors to bring a community-controlled Boston-based economy to fruition.

We are on our way! And you are the most important part of the equity-equation! Whether you came to the first kick-off event in Nov 2018, or are engaging for the first time with us, or anywhere in between, we urge you to engage with us as a broader body of faith communities. We gather to encourage making commitments to the equitable distribution of decision-making power and resources in our city, and to grow and be joyful together, in pursuit of racial and economic justice. All are welcome,including but not limited to members, staff and leaders of congregations and faith organizations.

Details:

  • When: Thursday, November 21st, 6-8pm
  • Where: Jamaica Plain Cohousing, 65 Cornwall St., Boston
  • Dinner provided.
  • RSVP today via Eventbrite
  • Spread the word via Facebook to folks in your or other organizations/congregations who you want to be part of Ujima’s work!
  • Co-hosted by Kavod, a community of young adults committed to local social justice organizing and meaningful Jewish practice.
  • Feel free to reach out to Nadav at partnerships@kavodhouse.com or Seona at seonaboston@yahoo.com

What to expect: 

At this event, we will learn from and celebrate how some faith communities have been engaging with Ujima, including over $80,000 of direct investment into the Ujima Investment Fund, and over $15,000 (and counting) purchased of goods and services from the Ujima Business Alliance businesses! You did this, and we can continue to do so much more together!

If you have made purchases with Ujima’s businesses or partners, please record them on this Google Form. See our list of partners and businesses at www.UjimaBoston.com.

This will also be the space to meet some of the Ujima business owners, and familiarize and network with the other efforts within the Ujima ecosystem.

And what would be a faith communities meeting if we didn’t have a little fun and laughter together, to foster goodwill and ignite collaboration among the faith communities represented amongst us.
