The Fall 2011 issue of CONSPIRE focuses on food, land, fellowship. Its premise is straightforward: the food system is broken, and each of us is capable of taking small, revolutionary acts to heal it. Just to prove it, there are going to be dinners all over the country during the month of November (check out a CONSPIRE “Gather Round” dinner.)
Each time we eat, we have the chance to build community, to eat food produced in a way that sustains our land and those who work upon it. Every day, we have the chance to express the essential holiness of the meal. You will find the voices of farmers, foodies, and everyone in between. This issue is the doorway into a host of resources to reboot your relationship to food. Be inspired. Go plant something!

Conspire Issue 2: Sacred Subversions
by Various Contributors
Do It Yourself, Spiritual Practices, Books, Conspire
Poet Wendell Berry’s famous mad farmer urges us: “So friends, every day, do something / that won’t compute. Love the Lord. / Love the world. Work for nothing. / Take all that you have and be poor.” This issue of Consp!re focuses on such creativity—small and large actions that work to overturn business as usual and open brilliant windows onto the crazy, grace-filled reign of God. Some of those actions require community; others are individual attempts. You’ll find stories and struggles of living the revolutionary word of Jesus, which intends to reshape our earth, our economy, every human heart, and the entire web of human relationships. It means no less than to turn the world.

Conspire Issue 4: Becoming Fire
by Various Contributors
Teach us to pray. Followers of Jesus have been making that request for a couple of millennia now. The question of prayer—what is it, what it means, how and why we do it—has resulted in a dizzying array of ideas, forms, and practices. This issue of Conspire probes prayer in an age of consumerism and distraction. What unique stresses do our frenetic pace, relative global affluence, and access to technology place on our prayer life? What prayer practices might ground us and our communities? What are our prayer blasphemies and deepest doubts?

Conspire Issue 5: Path and Place
by Various Contributors
Community, Spiritual Practices, Conspire
Clearly, our search for faithfulness elicits the seemingly contradictory impulses of wandering the earth in pilgrimage or grounding ourselves locally in long-term commitment to a particular place and people. Many of us have shaped a hybrid between the two, relocating to places of need and rooting ourselves there. This issue explores the gifts of these different choices and the strange, unexpected commonalities between them. It seeks to get at the learnings of allowing God’s call to reshape the most fundamental circumstances of our lives.

This CONSPIRE! is packed with creative and courageous responses to how to reshape your economic life to reflect the bounty of God.

From well-known voices like Tom Sine, Ched Myers, Joyce Hollyday, and Shane Claiborne to the sharings of unnamed laborers in Indian slums, each contributor offers thoughtful commentary on living well with money, one of the strongest challenges of our materialistic age.

Conspire Issue 7: Redemption at the Broken Places
by Various Author
We call it this our non-triumphant primer for life, and it’s possibly be the most useful issue we’ve done. Communities and people fail, things fall apart, and we need tools to make sense of it. Often the theology the church offers in such situations is superficial or unhelpful or self-blaming. This issue offers tools that are richer and more hopeful, with powerful reflections of people sharing about how difficult experiences led them to transform their faith, their life, and their way to loving others. The entire issue is a reflection on grace and growth, and it features the stunning art of coconspirator Luke Hillestad, a coconspirator artist, among others. Here are reflections to will carry you through all the things life will throw at you.

Conspire Issue 8: Walls and Borders
by Various Authors
Steep yourself in liberation! This issue highlights a God whose story is a freedom story—setting captives free, opening prison doors, leading slaves into a land of promise. This CONSPIRE looks at issues of borders and refugees, prisons and restorative justice, and our instinct to create walls of every kind. In a world full of all kinds of walls, how are people living a new and different story? Here are featured seldom-heard voices and art of Christians inside prisons or who have crossed borders to survive, believers in repressive contexts. Here also the stories of communities and individuals trying to create new ways of relating beyond walls. These voices know that our biblical calls us to live differently in a world riddled with borders, walls, and fear. Be inspired and encouraged!

Conspire Issue 9: Grit and Grace
by Various Authors
How do we follow Jesus over a lifetime? How do we stay engaged in the struggle without becoming jaded, embittered, or burnt out? We fear becoming older selves who once did something countercultural, but whose visions and passion for living the teachings of Jesus are stifled by life as maintenance and that ole’ American dream. This issue is about grit, grace, and balance—a conversation of how we live unconventional choices over a lifetime. Here we tell each other some of our best wisdom, with contributors from ten decades—every decade between 1 and 100!
