Missional Suburban Living Meets Poor Urban Intentional Community
My friend Matthew beat me to it, but a few weeks ago he, his intern Ben Kaplowitz, and I traveled up to Philly together. We were there to take part if a day-long seminar on what a missional engagement of the suburbs is all about and it was a helpful discussion. Contrast of contrasts, we had the good fortune to stay with Chris and Cassie Haw who live as part of an intentional community in one of the shadiest neighborhoods I have ever been in in Camden, NJ. Added bonus – Chris co-authored Jesus for President with Shane Claiborne and as I was just finishing leding a group through the book, we had some good discussion. Be sure to check out Matthew’s post on the trip.

2Starting thoughts… I have been blogging those for years (see missional and suburban categories). Um… know your neighbors, live differently (repudiate consumeristic tendencies, materialistic decisions, and individualism), start a neighborhood club of some sort, pray your socks off for opportunities to love people (the wrong people).
