‘Sharing the Crust: A Communion of Saints in a Baltimore Neighborhood’
In his new book, “Sharing the Crust,” Mark R. Gornik tells the story of his mentor, collaborator and friend Allan Tibbels, who in 1988, with his wife, Susan, founded the New Song Community Church and Christian community in the Sandtown neighborhood of Baltimore.
Tim Keller’s final seminar
My encounter with Tim Keller, who died May 19 at 72, began nearly 40 years ago when he was my teacher at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. I think my first semester was also Tim’s first — he had just begun to teach practical theology part time.

There are places of hope in Baltimore's Sandtown community
It’s Wednesday morning, and more than 140 children are arriving at New Song Academy to begin the day’s classes.

Christ in the Capital of the World
On a brisk October Saturday in 2012, hundreds of teenagers, young adults, and youth leaders gathered at Battery Park in Manhattan. In earlier days, the historic public park facing New York Harbor was the first place to receive immigrants from Europe and elsewhere. But this morning, it received members of black and Latino Pentecostal churches nestled throughout Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The crowd donned T-shirts and jerseys proclaiming God Belongs in My City (GBIMC).
