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)

Community Rhythms

We follow a three-year lectionary cycle. We are currently in Ordinary Time, Year B:

Year B - Ordinary Time

Daily Prayer

This Week's Lectionary Resource

2nd Sunday after Easter – April 11th – Year B

John 20:19-31
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” …

WEEKLY PREACHING PEACE TABLE

The Preaching Peace Table 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.

Street Psalms hosts a weekly table of pastors and leaders from a diversity of traditions who gather 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?” All are welcome to join.

Note: The Street Psalms Preaching Peace Table will be re-launching on December 4, 2024.

PREACHING PEACE TABLES

An initiative designed for leaders who are exploring together what it means to teach and preach a liberating Gospel of peace in their city. Pastors and leaders 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?” 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 (a group of faith leaders from a specific geography (neighborhood or city)) and Church/Ministry Table (a group of leaders from a particular church/ministry).

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.
