Chicago - “Citizens or Tourists???”

July 13, 2009


Park Community ChurchThis week will be full of entries highlighting last week's National Tour stop in Chicago.  Wednesday morning, July 8th, I had the chance to meet Tim Schraeder, Jason Widney, & Jackson Crum from Park Community Church in downtown Chicago.  I don't know of another church that rests on such a strikingly clear cultural fault line quite like the one that anchors Park Community Church in Chicago.  On one corner, $1 Million Condos.  On the other corner, Cabrini Green and the remnants of what has been described as one of the worst neighborhoods in the country. 

Jackson Crum - Park Communty Church
Jackson Crum leads the charge for Park Community Church and took some time to share more of the Park story and what is happening on the front line of ministry in "The Windy City."  Listen as Jackson talks about the difference between "citizens" and "tourists."  Leaders in the urban ministry across the country can learn from what is shared over the next few minutes...don't miss this!

More highlighting my time in Chicago soon!  And stay tuned for information on the next stop with the Catalyst National Tour...still deciding which city will be next!
