Communities Born of the Beatitudes

Dale Campbell

Jesus' sermon on the mountain overlooking the Sea of Galilee remains as resonant, provocative, and challenging as ever. In a cultural moment—both in the world and the church—drawn toward power, spectacle, endless pleasure, and status, what might it look like to form communities shaped instead by meekness, peacemaking, and lament? This workshop explores how the Beatitudes might become not just ideals, but the foundation for new kinds of gospel communities.
