Summary
In this episode of Beloved Rising, Rachael and Mandy explore why Magdalene Community Church gathers beneath trees instead of ceilings, around campfires instead of stages, and what happens when worship is rooted once again in the living world.
Far from being a quirky aesthetic choice, outdoor worship has become a deeply theological practice for MCC - reshaping the pace, posture, and participation of community life.
Together they reflect on how creation changes the way we pray, why the natural world can feel safer and more spacious for many people, and what becomes possible when church steps outside its walls.
From birdsong and Eucharist on tree stumps to muddy paths, distracted children, shifting weather, and the quiet holiness of shared presence, this conversation explores the beauty and challenge of worshipping in places that cannot be controlled or polished.
This episode is for anyone longing for a more embodied, grounded, and connected expression of faith - for those who have felt hemmed in by traditional church spaces, and for anyone wondering whether God might still be speaking through wind in the trees and fire in the dusk.
Take off your shoes.
You’re standing on holy ground.
