Practical Resources?

Shared Resources and Materials

For someone putting ABCD into practice, I would recommend checking out the extensive resource lists provided by the Episcopal Church on their ABCD website, calledtotransformation.org. I worked on an ABCD project in North Denver, Colorado and we created a practical manual of our work that is available on that site at http://calledtotransformation.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ABCD-with-Your-Neighborhood-Final-Version-9-30-15.pdf

I would also recommend finding a sort of mentor with ABCD experience to be able to share ideas with or ask questions when you might be feeling stuck or unsure of what comes next.

ABCD for Pastoral Community

ABCD and Faith Communities

I know this is an older question/discussion item - though I have some resources that might be useful.

My introduction to ABCD came from a Jubilee Ministry of the Episcopal Church. Our work was done in North Denver, Colorado, though the Episcopal church is moving toward this model as a means of engagement and mobilization of congregations. I encourage you to check out their website on the topic:http://calledtotransformation.org/. It is full of ideas that may be beneficial in the pastoral setting.
