| Mission Statement |
| The Narthex is a theological publication committed to renew-ing a movement for justice within the Evangelical Covenant Church by encouraging each other on the way toward wholistic, embodied discipleship and biblical justice. We do this by publishing reflective essays, quality resources, and opportunities to take action for lay and clergy leadership of all ages across North America. We strive to help build community for those interested in committing to justice as they serve the church. |
| What's in a Name |
| The name of this publication has been resurrected and re-applied from its original use as a journal for Covenant conversation. The term “narthex” refers to the common meeting space of the people of faith - the outer area of the sanctuary that provides information and fellowship for the body of Christ and the space where hospital-ity and guidance pave an introduction to our faith to those seeking. It is both a formational and active space that prepares and shapes disciples; whether entering and preparing to worship or leaving and preparing to serve in the world. The narthex is the foyer that links the community to the body. |
