In the Fall of 2016, The Episcopal Church in Minnesota, together with St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, and community organizers and neighbors launched Circle of the Beloved: the Minnesota chapter of the Episcopal Service Corps.
Each year four or five young adults live in intentional community on the North side of Minneapolis and serve full time at non-profit sites that serve the greater Twin Cities area. Some of our residents work at Americorps sites that work to close opportunity gaps in Minnesota while other residents work directly for non-profit agencies in advocacy roles supporting programs that address issues of environmental justice, affordable housing, and food insecurity. We invite you to join with us as you discern how you might spend a year serving others and living in intentional community.
At Circle, we intend to live together in intentional Christian community that acknowledges and deepens kinship across many lines of difference. In community, we live out these values:
KINSHIP
Instead of operating from a benefactor paradigm of “us” helping “them,” we acknowledge our innate kinship, where all sides give and receive based on our mutual gifts and needs.
RULE OF LIFE
We will craft a rule of life together that encourages holy listening and prayer, simplicity, a ministry of presence, and active justice-making in our neighborhoods.
RECONCILIATION
We will embark on a journey of racial, socioeconomic, and spiritual reconciliation, grounded in following the way of Jesus.
