Rooted was a history-based discipleship program the MidAtlantic InterVarsity region engaged with during covid shut downs in 2021. Much of the materials are available here for continued use. They include scripture studies and prompts to learn more about family, community and campus history as a way of growing our faith in Jesus.
Rooted deeply summer program
Sustainable Living for a Just World
June 6th-July 18th 2021
optional $30 that will be used towards a justice-oriented organization that you'll help designate over the course of the summer.
This summer we will study the life of Jesus. Alongside this study we will continue to look deeply into the Rooted content around ours/our community history, as well as learning from lifelong Christian justice seekers. Together we will explore different life rhythms (spiritual, emotional, physical, relational) for maintaining a well-balanced Jesus-centered life that contributes to a just world.
Through Rooted Deeply, we will go deeper into understanding scripture and the stories and histories of ourselves, our communities, and our institutions.
We hope to walk away from the summer having formed Life Rhythms for the coming semester and beyond (a set of spiritual habits that help us to consistently thrive with Jesus and others) to enter into campus life in whatever form it may be in fall 2021.

“In 1871, a mob killed eighteen Chinese people in a racial massacre in Los Angeles. This week, I’ve been thinking about how that event intersected with my ancestors’ experiences as Chinese American immigrants living in California at the time. I wonder if my family cared about belonging or if they just wanted to survive. I wonder what fears and values they developed in response and how they’ve been passed down to my family— even as we still grapple with being Asian American in the US today.”
