However, when it comes to spiritual disciplines for the neighborhood--practices that nurture our residential environments and our own spirituality within them--what we need most are not disciplines of withdrawal but of engagement" (God Next Door, 92). Holt suggests practices like exegetical walking of neighborhoods, celebrating neighborhoods, nurturing neighborhoods, and inviting neighborhoods.
