Living
Practicing the life we have discerned together.
A season, not a stage
The Seasons of Shalom are recurring practices rather than a linear program. A community may inhabit more than one season at the same time, and may return to a season whenever faithful life requires it.
The practice
Embodiment matters: live the emerging commitments long enough for them to become shared practice, while continuing to notice what God is doing.
Use the framework as discernment.
The work is not to move forward as quickly as possible, but to notice which practices are needed now and to inhabit them faithfully.
