The Preaching Peace Initiative is designed for leaders who are exploring together what it means to teach and preach a liberating Gospel of peace in their city. We currently have two models of Preaching Peace Tables that are open source and available to anyone who wants to develop their own expression: Citywide Table and Church/Ministry Table. Learn more about hosting your own table here.
Street Psalms hosts a weekly table for leaders who facilitate Preaching Peace Tables (or are interested in starting a Table). We gather around the gospel lectionary text to practice doing theology from below. All are welcome to join.

Introduction to Incarnational Design

The Incarnational Design document is part of a suite of resources that help faith communities cultivate human flourishing in their context. Key to realizing this vision is what we call a Community in Mission (CiM) that has a way of seeing, doing and being that frees it to love and serve. When modeled after the life of Jesus, a CiM exists, not for itself, but for the sake of the commons. CiMs are animated by the spiritual technology of the Incarnation, mystery of Word made flesh. In this resource, we apply that technology to the creative process we call Incarnational Design. Incarnational Design describes the creative partnership between God and a CiM. This partnership engages in the ongoing act of creation by developing models of social innovation that lead to human flourishing.
In this workshop, we will explore the essential elements of Incarnational Design, spend time reflecting and discussing together, and the Street Psalms team will share additional resources.
Who should attend: This event is open to everyone. This workshop will be especially useful to those Ordained with SP, Hub Directors, and those participating in the Practicing Peace Initiative.

Introduction to the Incarnational Method
2025-02-20 08:00 - 09:30 | https://streetpsalms.org/event/intro-to-methodology/
Miss this workshop? Scroll down to watch the recording and see shared resources.
The Incarnational Method is part of a suite of resources that help faith communities cultivate human flourishing in their context. Key to realizing this vision is what we call a Community in Mission (CiM) that has a way of seeing, doing and being that frees it to love and serve. When modeled after the life of Jesus, such a community exists, not for itself, but for the sake of the commons and is animated by the spiritual technology of the Incarnation, mystery of Word made flesh. In this resource we explore Jesus’ method of formation and how Jesus inducts his disciples into a shared humanity. We also explore the implications of this methodology for a Community in Mission that wants to create cities of peace for all people where everyone belongs.
In this workshop, we will explore the essential elements of the Incarnational Method, spend time reflecting and discussing together, and the Street Psalms team will share additional resources.
Who should attend: This event is open to everyone. This workshop will be especially useful to those Ordained with SP, Hub Directors, and those participating in the Practicing Peace Initiative.
