My good friend and neighbor Susan Post is Executive Director at Esperanza Health Center and she recently gave a wonderful speech at the Christian Community Health Fellowship. She does a great job of breaking down a Christian view of a neighborhood. You should watch it. It gets really good at about the 12 minute mark of the second video.

From Missional: Joining God in the Neighborhood, by Alan J. Roxburgh:
The poet is one who listens to the stories that lie beneath the stories people tell and gives voice to the music beneath their words. The poet is the one who, in such listening, offers ways in which people can connect this music to a larger movement, to a bigger story.
For a long time, I have shared stories of what God is doing in Hunting Park. I took a break from blogging for a couple of years, but now I’m back. Let the music begin.
