Activist D.C. Church Embraces Transition in Name of Its Mission
Posted by 
The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein recently wrote an article about Church of the Savior, Activist D.C. Church Embraces Transition in Name of Its Mission. To quote one of my friends in the city, “No other group of people has done more to bring social justice to the city.” They were emerging decades before anyone had any concept of what that meant. I have many friends in their community and I admire their work more than I can articulate. The article is an important background piece for us to have as we continue to contemplate what we are called to as a community and what that practically looks like in this season.
I am happy you’re still around (even if I haven’t seen much of you)!
What a church! If it is true that its mission is: “A commitment to serious, inward contemplation as well as ambitious social justice work,” then we at HG are focusing on one and not both (although I like contemplation very much!). My first response is, why aren’t we doing stuff like that! Still, I’m not worried, the opportunity will eventually come. We shouldn’t rush into anything just for the sake of doing something.
