Hosting rotates weekly among the Network congregations, as each in turn provides lodging, daily meals, and welcoming care. There are also other Support Congregations that assist with meals and toiletries. (See listing below.) Direct benefits to the Host & Support Congregations include broadening perspectives on poverty and homelessness and allowing volunteers the opportunity to be servants of God. Some clergy have commented that participation in IHN was a “turning point” in their ministry and their congregation, causing them to become less ingrown. Others maintain that IHN became the focal point for renewal, as a spirit of “cooperation and generosity” increased among parishioners. IHN unites many different religious communities into a joint mission effort. By sharing a mutual concern and response to the problem of homelessness, relationships are born that transcend denominations and cultures, and a common purpose enriches not only the congregations themselves but the life of an entire faith community. Please contact us to find out how your congregation can become a Host or Support Congregation! Below is a listing of the IHN Network of Congregations.
