Practices
Because faith is a way of life, it involves not only our beliefs, attitudes, dispositions, habits, and imagination, but our practices as well. In our practices we embody our desires and dreams in public space and time. It matters what we do with our hands and bodies, with our sexuality and power, with our incomes and energies.
Our primary mission here at Incarnation is to celebrate the Christian faith as a way of life that enables all persons to flourish amidst the challenges of living in the city. This mission requires that we help one another identify and overcome practices that diminish or dehumanize ourselves and others.
The Christian faith concerns how we live together before God in ways that enable the flourishing of all. This means that faith is public, embodied, and communal. Faith is about following Jesus Christ with others.
Life at Incarnation is an invitation into a new set of practices - practices of singing and praying, practices of reading, listening, and learning, practices of caring and helping and sharing, practices of healing and celebrating, resisting and blessing and working. We want to collaborate with all who yearn for a new way of life that opens us into the joy of serving others in God's name.
