Northside Abbey, is an experimental and emerging ministry in the neighborhood of Northside in collaboration with The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Cincinnati and Praxis Communities in Southern Ohio. It is being pioneered by a handful of ministers, parents, seminarians, visionaries, and artists including Brianna Kelly, the Rev. Jane Gerdsen, The Rev. Mike Smith, Aaron Klinefelter, and Devin Rodgers-Terrasson.
The hope of Northside Abbey is to connect and gather those exploring the intersection
of faith, community, and the expressive arts to see what emerges! By drawing inspiration from ancient monastic heritage and rooting into the common context, we hope to host and create sacred space where community may be nurtured, questions might be asked, bread may be broken, meals and stories shared, justice and reconciliation pursued, and where creative collaboration might flourish! We invite you to create with us and imagine what could be. We invite you to make known the presence of the Holy One in the neighborhood of Northside, to tune into what is already holy and to share that with others.
