Community Involvement

All Souls does not take formal positions on doctrinal or ethical positions outside of the Creed. We do, however, support our people as they, under the authority of scripture, in prayer and through community, discern the way of Christ in our world. Following Augustine, we believe in essentials, unity, in non-essentials, charity and in all things love. We celebrate all the diverse ways our members follow Christ in the world, even when we disagree with one another. Announcements in the update reflect the many ways our people are serving God in our community. They do not reflect All Souls' endorsement of a particular issue, doctrinal position, or cause.

Public City of Knoxville Meeting July 14 on Community Gardens, Urban Agriculture With increased interest in community gardens and locally produced foods, the City of Knoxville is ready to propose changes in the zoning ordinance that will make it easier for individuals and community groups to establish community and market gardens on privately held land.
Anyone interested in community gardens, urban agriculture, and sales of produce from these gardens is invited to a public meeting from 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. on Monday, July 14, at Cansler Family YMCA, 616 Jessamine St. The city's Office of Sustainability is hosting the meeting and leading the effort in consultation with other city staff and members of the Knoxville-Knox County Food Policy Council.
