Rooted in community, place and faith: An interview with the editors of Geez magazine

Kateri Boucher and Lydia Wylie-Kellermann sit on a couch with open notebooks, talking during a staff retreat.

Founded in 2005, Geez magazine is a publication about social justice, art, and activism. It proudly claims that it’s "for the over-churched, out-churched, un-churched and maybe even the un-churchable." Started by Aiden Enns in Winnipeg, the magazine has been run since 2018 by a staff based in Detroit, who embrace the fierce independence of the magazine’s mission and are deeply devoted to living   [Read More …]

Local culture comes alive on a Trip of Perspective to the Mountain Empire

The members of SAMS we met were welcoming and dynamic — and also very patient in disabusing us of some ideas we may have had about the challenges of living and working in coal country. Our merry band of explorers arrived in Big Stone Gap, Virginia on October 20, 2022. Some of us had been to this far southwestern region of Virginia before and had looked forward to meeting friends from prior   [Read More …]

The Best Hand-me-down Ever: A Giving Story

I chose to be a tither because I remembered that it worked for my parents, who struggled to make ends meet but first gave to God, who in fact did meet their needs on time, every time. As the last of six sons in my childhood home (though my second eldest brother died years before I was born), I wore a lot of hand-me-down clothes while growing up. This made perfect sense, since my parents   [Read More …]

Sharing “surplus” while embracing the spirit of “giving from want”

I never really knew my maternal grandmother Clara. She was deep in the fog of early onset Alzheimer’s by the time I came along, although I was given Claire as a middle name in honor of her. My mother, who would have been 95 this month, told certain stories about her mom, and one lit my imagination as a child and has remained with me. My mother’s family lived in a very small town in eastern   [Read More …]

A Jubilee Fund replaces credit card debt with community trust — and frees everyone in the process

The Portland-based Jubilee Fund raised $100,000 to eliminate credit card debt for eight neighbors. The individuals who had their debts paid off then became donors, making payments to reparations efforts for five years with 0% interest. What would it look like to build equity and trust by freeing our neighbors from debt? How could we organize a community so that everyone could live with a   [Read More …]

Spending our money: It’s a work-in-progress for us

Most people believe that having enough money is a prerequisite for living a good and comfortable life. For most of us, we need money for food, a home (or apartment), meeting our medical needs, buying clothes, obtaining an education for ourselves and our children, and having transportation to get to our jobs. Acquiring even more money opens the door to even more – perhaps a larger and more   [Read More …]
