Our nature and our longing is to live in society with others, to know and to be known, and to collaborate in friendship towards a shared, common good. The Bible teaches that we are created for society, and that our ultimate home will be a City. If these things are true, what do they mean for us, here, in this city, and what can we do to live this out? 

City and Kingdom Monterey Bay pursues these questions in discussion and encounter. It also provides a forum for presentation of and collaboration on projects aimed at the good of people as we find ourselves here and now, and the good of communities on many different scales: from the small communities that are our own households to the broader community that is the city itself. 

Each meeting of City and Kingdom Monterey Bay will provide a setting where it is possible to hear and be heard on the deepest level. It may include a talk, a performance, a game, a presentation, or a panel, but always a deep-diving conversation. We will gather on a regular basis to discuss issues, to learn from each other, and to scheme – for the good of our families, for the good of the city, and for the good of the world. 

City and Kingdom Monterey Bay is co-sponsored by Plough but is organized and hosted independently. If you have any questions, feel please contact the Monterey Bay coordinator Mark Hollingsworth at write.not.right@gmail.com .
