Description / Abstract
The contemporary church is struggling to connect biblical hope with the opportunities to address socio-economic inequity toward community revitalization and holistic healing. Many churches within the Northeast Bronx are increasingly being viewed as irrelevant to the community at large because of the perceived inability to notably affect education, health, housing, policing, immigration, and socio-economic equity. The models of leadership utilized reflect a poor theological foundation and are more about gaining control than dismantling systems, empowering others, and seeking collaboration. Further, there is a lack of clear direction from leadership, ad hoc systems to recognize congregational gifting, and little focus on intentional unifying community engagement. This will serve as a tool for the church to connect unique
contextual needs to hopeful practices that challenge attitudes and systems that are contrary to the Kingdom of God.
