Dorothy Day, who changed the world with her fierce, heart-centered work, once shared the following encouraging words, apt for community ministers today: “The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us.
Community ministers—both ordained and lay—are a living example of the possibility of revolution in each heart, not as individual locations of change but rather as an interdependent chain reaction of transformation.
One of the complexities of community ministry is that the deep treasure of interdependence isn’t always obvious. To some, community ministers may appear to be loners. Maybe they are, but only in the same way that one aspen tree is alone. It is a slender tree with bright white bark, brilliant gold foliage in the autumn, quaking leaves, and, below the surface, an extensive and supportive root system.
These trees are always growing. Their extensive, intertwined roots make the entire aspen forest—called a clone—strong. The oldest known clone grows in the Fishlake National Forest in Utah. The clone is over eighty thousand years old and weighs more than 6,600 pounds. The history of community ministry, the significance of ministry outside congregations as people engage with it today, is no less substantial.
