Still Burning Bush
Welcome to Still Burning Bush, a website dedicated to the alchemy of spirituality and organizing. Here you will find additional stories from the book The Bush Still Burns, Fortress Press, 2021 as well as resources for leaders seeking to combine ancient and emerging spirituality with the arts, practices, and relational power of community organizing.
Terry Allen Moe served as pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Portland, Oregon, for thirty years. He was also a leader in the Portland Organizing Project, Metropolitan Alliance for Common Good, IAF Northwest, and member and chair of Sustainable Works. He also was a contributing member of the Congregation Based Organizing Team of the ELCA for seven years.
“Terry Moe’s vision, creativity, courage, authenticity, and collaborative spirit shimmers through the pages of this book—a primer in how to grow into formidable spiritual leadership with our struggling neighboring communities and challenged mainline congregations. Blending the wisdom of cutting-edge community organizing, ancient spiritual practices, and intentional congregational life, Pastor Moe’s work is and always has been well ahead of its time. Read this! You will discover a wise companion and mentor for your own journey.”
