How can faith communities embody the spiritual technology of the Incarnation, mystery of Word made flesh?
At Street Psalms, we describe this embodiment as a Community in Mission. A Community in Mission (CiM) is sustained by three incarnational gifts: incarnational hermeneutic, incarnational method and incarnational design. Finally, the Incarnational Framework functions like a diagnostic tool that helps leaders of a Community in Mission assess their faithfulness to this vision and its impact.
This book synthesizes five reflections on what makes for a Community in Mission, based on 25 years of experience and collaboration. The content is designed to help faith communities cultivate human flourishing in their contexts, and comes with an open invitation to an ongoing conversation that can be joined at any time and engaged in any order. We have ordered the material in a sequence that creates a cohesive whole, but that can still be engaged from different angles by different learners with different concerns and questions.
