Transcript

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Karen Reed. Karen lives in Vancouver, Canada. After pastoring for over twenty years at a large city church, and fulfilling a range of senior leadership positions, Karen took the risk twelve years ago to live as an urban worker, joining with what God is doing in East Vancouver, one of the most unchurched neighbourhoods in Canada. She lives an intentionally shared life in a 100 year old, six bedroom house, as a base to seek the flourishing of her community.

Jenny and Al talk with Karen about her deliberate choice to reorder her life, and how she moved out of pastoral ministry to becoming centred in her neighbourhood. Karen shares how this move came about and her commitment to radical hospitality. Together, Al, Jenny and Karen explore how Karen became a neighbour in her community and what she is discovering about being a follower of Jesus with her neighbours.
