A PLACE APART

a teaching community where all types of people can come for a time

to break from the world and rediscover the new way of living

introduced by Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

And he said unto them,

'Come ye yourselves apart

into a desert place, and rest awhile;'

for there were many coming and going

and they had no leisure

so much as to eat.

Mark 6:31

"Not the Only Voice…"

In the current newsletter, Paul Grout writes about A Place Apart's relationship to the emerging chorus of voices that are calling for radical change in our approach to the church, the Earth, our local neighborhoods, and ourselves. This movement "resists being named." Click here to read Paul's article, or download the entire newsletter for free by clicking on the link to the right.

Church of the Brethren Workcamps Conclude

In July, A Place Apart hosted more than 40 Church of the Brethren youth and their advisors as part of the Church's annual series of worldwide workcamps. The youth made an enormous contribution to the ministry of A Place Apart by building trails, creating wilderness lodging, and improving APA's grounds. Participants also learned a lot about "stepping apart" with us. Click here to see photos and more information.
