The Long Walk of Community Development
Lorenzo Watson joins the Coffee Break to share his heart for the work of the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) and the vital importance of being present. In this conversation, we explore the foundational philosophy of "Relocation, Redistribution, and Reconciliation" and how these concepts come to life in our local contexts. Lorenzo discusses the shift from doing things for a neighborhood to doing things with a neighborhood, emphasizing the power of local leadership and shared vision. We dive into how to maintain hope and persistence in the face of systemic challenges, rediscovering the joy of being a neighbor in the places we call home.
This preview is just the beginning of the story. If you’d like to watch the full hour-long conversation, we invite you to become a Parish Collective member and join us in supporting the work of neighborhoods everywhere.
