On Sundays at 3 we gather as a Hazelnut community. Though we have gone into lock down we will still gather as a community over zoom. Our aim is to learn together and grow together. We will do this in two ways. Firstly, we will have a chat with an expert that will help us think about growing and learning together. Secondly, we will share in evening prayer together. Anyone is welcome!

This session will be a conversation with Sam Ewell. Sam’s thinking and community development have been an inspiration for Hazelnut Community. We are excited to have him with us on Sunday.

Sam is a co-director of EAT MAKE PLAY, a neighbourhood-based community co-op focused on regenerating a circular economy that is citizen-led. He also works with Companions for Hope, a Christian community based in Summerfield parish, where he combines prison and community engagement, urban permaculture, and theological facilitation as a way of cultivating abundant community at the edges of inner-city Birmingham (UK). He is the author Faith Seeking Conviviality: Reflections on Ivan Illich, Christian Mission, and the Promise of Life Together.
