Norm Van Eeden Petersman and John Pattison from Strong Towns will be facilitation a pre-conference instutute at the Inhabit 2024 Conference on April 25, 2024.

LOCATION: Dumas Bay Centre | DATE: April 25, 2024

Does God care how wide a road is? Does loving your neighbor also mean caring about how your neighborhood is built — about how walkable it is, the variety and quality of housing, zoning codes, the availability of parks and green spaces, and more?

In this session, participants will explore these and other questions at the intersection of faith, justice, and the built environment. Co-hosted by Strong Towns — an international movement helping people from all walks of life build safer, more livable, and more resilient places — we will discuss how faith communities can slow cars to make streets safer for all, effectively advocate for more housing, leverage church spaces on behalf of neighbors, and decode the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which the built environment brings us closer to our neighbors…or keeps us apart.
