Hi, I’m Ben. For 15 years I worked in (or alongside) the local church. Now I’m doing something else.
Today I’m listening a lot more and working to collaborate with those who are making this planet a better place.
I call it attentive awareness for the common good.
Here’s a brief timeline of some things:
- For a decade I tried to create safe spaces for teenagers with a great team of volunteers.
- Next I was a communications director for a Toronto-based charity working with vulnerable youth all over the city.
- I also spent three years getting a masters of divinity with a focus on church in the city.
- I’m currently a partner/operations at Renga, a brand strategy & design studio in the Toronto Area.
My family and I live in outside of Toronto in the suburban village of Stouffville.
Analog hours are spent reading books, listening to records, & playing [board games]().
“Mission in the city for the Church, and hence for Christians, means a radical intimacy with every corner and every echelon of the city’s actual life in order to represent and honor God’s concern for each fragment of the city.”
- William Stringfellow, Free In Obedience
