Abolishing Systems of Houselessness and Poverty
Lindsey Krinks is Co-founder and Interim Co-Director of Open Table Nashville. For over a decade, she has worked on the underside of Nashville—the streets, encampments, jails, slums, and underpasses—while also working with faith leaders, community organizers, and public officials to make the city more hospitable and just. Lindsey is passionate about education and evidence-based practices that affirm the dignity, agency, and humanity of all people. She was ordained in 2013 and serves as an interfaith street chaplain. She graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School in 2013 with a Masters of Theological Studies degree and is on the Alumni Council and is on the board of the Nashville Coalition for the Homeless. Her first book, Praying With Our Feet, is forthcoming though Brazos Press, a division of Baker Publishing, and is set for release in February of 2021. On any given day, Lindsey can be found in tent cities, washing feet on the streets, marching for change, or foraging for native herbs and plants. To learn more about Lindsey’s work, visit her blog.
