Spencer Burke is the Executive Director for the HatcheryLA, which is described as an “incubator for common cause communities.” The Hatchery offers a great way to get an accredited seminary degree while also learning practical skills in social entrepreneurship and developing your own project with a cohort of innovators. I have a special interest in the Hatchery, because it partners with the seminary where I teach, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.

Everybody is trying to figure out the future of the church and the future of seminary education. The Hatchery and United are both helping carve out one of those new pathways.

Check out my interview with Spencer, as he addresses several questions, including, “what’s a common cause community?”

Oh, and this is my first stab at a video interview, so please forgive the non-professionalism. During the interview, Spencer mentions the upcoming “Adult VBS” with Walter Brueggemann taking place at the Hatchery.
