Episode 11 - moving from a ‘come and see’ to a ‘go and be’ posture

What are the patterns and practices that a church can adopt to engage their neighbors? In episode 11 we talk with Karen Wilk about the missional practices she leads as a minister within her neighborhood community and as a leader for the Abundant Community Initiative in Edmonton, Alberta. She discusses what it means to foster a 'go and be' approach with those living in proximity to her home.
