Life Together: The Diomass Young Adult Intern Program is a strategic ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts that is engaging 20 young adults in leadership for mission.
Life Together, includes both The Micah Project and The Relational Evangelism Project - two Episcopal Service Corps Programs based in Boston, MA. Both projects are 11 month faith-based internships for 18-35 year-olds to serve in social justice-based placements through the Boston area. All interns serve 30 hours/week in their placements and spent 8 hours/week together for spiritual formation and servant leadership training.
The MICAH Project was founded in 2000 based on Micah 6:8 - "what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before your God." This project places an emphasis on spirituality, justice, discernment, and community. Interns live together in intentional Christian community, discerning their own vocational calls while serving the Boston area in social justice related placements (in churches or non-profit organizations).
The Relational Evangelism Pilot Project (REPP) was founded in 2008, with the mission of engaging more young adults in "God’s dream for this world," by growing authentic community, deeping spiritual practice, and making a difference in the world. Interns serve in an Episcopal parish or University Chaplaincy and are trained as faith-based community organizers - using the methodology of Public Narrative. REs have the option, but are not required, to live in intentional community.
During their year in Life Together, interns: listen for God's call in their lives, experience authentic community, and engage God's dream for justice, with prayer and action.
