Welcome to the Street Psalms Hub
Join us in weekly, monthly and seasonal rhythms where we practice doing theology from below, remember our shared vocation and induct each other into our collective humanity.
“Grant us the gift of becoming a community of the Incarnation - mystery of word made flesh, who sees and celebrates good news in hard places.”
(From Prayer of Vocation)
We follow a three-year lectionary cycle. We are currently in Easter, Year B:

John 10:11-18
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
10:12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away–and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
10:13 The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep.

WEEKLY PREACHING PEACE TABLE
An initiative designed for Tacoma-area pastors who are exploring together what it means to teach and preach a liberating Gospel of peace in their city. Pastors and teachers, from a diversity of traditions, gather weekly around the gospel lectionary text to ask a simple question. “How do we teach and preach this text for peace from our tradition for the sake of the city?”

Making Peace With God Fellowship
A 9-month fellows program designed for leaders who are exploring ordination with the Street Psalms community. It’s also for leaders who want to undergo the possibility of God in whom there is no violence. In either case, participants are part of a global conversation. They discover for themselves a way of seeing, doing and being that frees them to do things they never thought possible. Practical. Real. Challenging. Liberating. Formational.
Ordination
Street Psalms' ordained global community has a common vocation: to free others to love and serve according to the unique shape of our lives and context. What does this look like? Our ordained community includes nurses, teachers, non-profit leaders, pastors/clergy, and more. What they have in common is shared commitment to seeing and celebrating good news in hard places through a calling to free up others to love and serve. We do not ordain leaders to pastor local churches; rather, we are a sodal community in mission that serves local faith leaders and communities of all kinds who seek the common good of their city.
