The first learning community runs July 2021 \u2013 July 2023 and the second learning community runs September 2023 \u2013 September 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n Congregations who are a part of this learning community will develop and deepen the knowledge, skills, habits, and values to engage in this work of place-based vocational discernment in the public square for the common good through a method we call the Public Church Framework.<\/span><\/p>\n The Public Church Framework consists of four movements that guide us into more intentional relationships with our neighbor, scripture, our core beliefs, and God\u2019s spirit as we seek to discern how our faith community is called to be and proclaim good news with and for our neighbors. It combines threads the church has historically kept separate \u2013 discipleship, outreach, relationships, justice, worship, biblical study, theological reflection, and prayer. The common denominator is the neighbor. We do these things for the sake of our neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out our project handout<\/a> to read more.<\/p>\n You can also go to our website at:\u00a0www.augsburg.edu\/riversidehub<\/a>\u00a0to read more stories about how congregations are exploring their call to be public church in their neighborhoods across the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n The Riverside Innovation Hub (RIH) will be launching its third congregational learning community in September of 2023.
