This workshop will provide lessons regarding economic development, gentrification, and reconciliation taken from one of the Bible's first community developers.

Gentrification is a new national norm.  Like the rising tide, it cannot be stopped.  Nor should we want to stop it.  We need to harness it for the benefit of the poor.  This workship explores how to do just that.    

As gentrification gains momentum, urban ministires face the challenge of helping longtime neighbors remain in the community. This workshop explores the gentrification issue and offers practical methods for ministries to make the necessary paradigm shift into real estate development.
