Description
A map is a theological document: using his unique research into the history of the federal Urban Renewal programs of the 1950s and 60s, CCD practitioner Greg Jarrell will present a story from his own city (Charlotte, NC) that shows the fusion of bad policy and bad theology written into the cityscape. Where once was a thriving Black neighborhood, is now a government quarter with a church at its center. Participants will consider how unearthing theological and political histories can shape CCD ministry today, and how local groups might organize together to redress historic harms and build a different future.
