Comments on: YWAM – Can it be the "Third Place"? http://billhutchison.org/ywam-can-it-be-the-third-place/ Serving in YWAM in the areas of IT and Communication Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jamie Arpin-Ricci http://billhutchison.org/ywam-can-it-be-the-third-place/comment-page-1/#comment-63 Jamie Arpin-Ricci Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:25:36 +0000 http://billhutchison.org/ywam-can-it-be-the-third-place/#comment-63 Our YWAM base opened a third place with the intention of building relationships in our inner city community (www.dustycover.ca). Out of those relationships we have planted a new church (www.littleflowers.ca). On an interesting twist to your question, one of the reasons we did so was because, by definition, the YWAM base itself cannot really be a third place. Yes, it can be a great social alternative with great value, but a genuine third place must be largely neutral. So YWAM bases might be able to be third places to a certain degree and YWAM bases can create, nurture and participate in third places, but in the strictest sense, I am not sure they can fully be third places themselves.
