ABOUT COMMONERS

Commoners is a group of people dreaming about building a better way forward, together. We are in the beginning stages of organizing a spiritual community centered on a collective desire to experience love and liberation in our world. Though we find ourselves at the intersection of what is and what can be, and come from various backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences, we gather around a common longing for justice, goodness, beauty, and love.

Regardless of who you are, what you’ve been through, or what you believe/don’t believe, we invite you to join us as we dream, discover, and build, together.

OUR VISION

A better way forward, together.

Commoners is a dream about what it means to collectively struggle for a better world— a world free from oppression, isolation, and alienation. A world marked by beauty, wholeness, hope, and love.

To that end, we are organizing a spiritual community of love and liberation, centered on caring for both the material and spiritual needs of our community. We are dreamers, troublemakers, organizers, and builders who are creatively reimagining the future of faith for our context. We are students first, learning from so many who have come before us and following the lead of those bearing witness to the Spirit of Liberation, already working in and among those who are most marginalized.

Though we don’t have all the answers, we know a better world is possible, and Love compels us to organize, dream, struggle, and co-create a better way forward, together.
