Welcome to Holy Local! This is a chronological series, so if you missed the last episode, I'd go back and give it a listen before continuing.
The ⁠⁠⁠ Church of the Saviour was established in 1946 ⁠⁠⁠ by a small group of dedicated members, who would go on to build a nationally renowned church in Adams Morgan, a DC neighborhood known for its diverse cultural fabric and intense history of community organizing.
In this episode, learn about the Church's split into multiple affiliated churches to better serve the spiritual health of the members.
The Church of the Saviour participated in some of the biggest social campaigns in the 20th century: Civil Rights, the HIV/AIDS crisis, immigration and asylum efforts, and continuing efforts to support growing homeless populations were central to the Church of the Saviour’s mission.
The church’s  members weren’t just present, they were often at the forefront of these issues, leading service campaigns for these causes in the Adams Morgan neighborhood.
The Holy Local Podcast takes you all the way through the 20th century and into the 21st, following the members of the Church of the Saviour as they exemplify Christ like service through massive public efforts to support their neighbors and those in need. Throughout this series, you’ll hear from the people who were there, the members, and their neighbors. This is their story, and I hope you enjoy it.
