Locked in Solidarity

by Warren, Michelle on January 14, 2017

The beginning of a new year can be a time of reflection - for most. A fresh start or clean slate to make resolutions, to recommit to the work we are doing, the opportunity to begin again. But for many in our communities, the impact of incarceration looms regardless of new seasons. Men, women, and [...]

How will Christians demonstrate Christ’s radical love in 2017?

by Giles, Ginny on January 13, 2017

Earlier this fall I posted something opinionated about the presidential election on facebook. Truth is, I’m full of opinions and often share them publicly.

Thanksgiving and lament, gratitud y lamento

by noel on November 14, 2016

Thanksgiving and lament, gratitud y lamento. The both/and of kingdom theology charges us with the need to inhabit both those spaces.

While there's great excitement for next year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the Camino and the 2016 national [...]

Managing Disappointment through Friendship and Self-Care

by CCDA Guest on August 4, 2016

You know what’s hard? Loving people. And since love is really the heart of justice, that’s even more exhausting, because it means reciprocal connection, unearthing all our baggage in relationship (accidentally or intentionally), and walking in the ways of Jesus. I’m getting tired just writing that [...]

Who’s Got Next? Empowerment and Leadership in Worship

by Van Opstal, Sandra on July 26, 2016

The CCDA worship team had an epic weekend of rehearsal! We sang and played, ate well, and told stories from our worshipping communities. The time was filled with laughter and tears and usually ended with a team member saying “another heavy hitter” or “this song selection is ridiculous.” The CCDA [...]
