SUMMARY:Why Do We Have To Keep Talking About Race Anyway?
DESCRIPTION:“White people often say ‘I am colorblind\,’ ‘I don’t see race\,’ and ‘There is just the human race.’ They think people of color are obsessed with race and that alleging discrimination is itself racist\, divisive\, and playing the race card. They think that racism towards people of color no longer exists. So\, let’s examine evidence of historical and current racial discrimination in American life to see if race and racism are serious problems.” (Should we stop talking about Race? by Ralph Bangs) \nIf you are interested in this conversation about racial discrimination from the perspective of Dr. Beverly Harris-Schenz\, join the Facing Systemic Racism Team following Sanctuary worship on Sunday\, May 30. \nClick to Join

SUMMARY:Contemplative Activism Retreat with Cole Arthur Riley
DESCRIPTION:The Spiritual Life Committee is excited to bring in Cole Arthur Riley to lead a retreat on Contemplative Activism. Join us we learn how to adopt spiritual practices that suspend between the contemplative and pursuit of justice. In our activism\, spiritual contemplation can feel more like a precursor to the work of justice\, instead of a core part of it. Together\, we will explore the gift of a contemplative spirituality that is marked by liberating habits of storytelling\, emotion\, and embodiment. \nClick to Register \nRetreat Details\nThe cost is $50 (scholarships are available). Please register by Friday\, June 4. Like our previous online retreats\, we will gather via Zoom at scheduled times. Cole will speak and guide us in prayer\, a reflection\, and an embodied activity during each of these sessions\, as well as give suggestions and prompts for our own solitude and contemplation in between each session. Our themes will be as follows: \n\nFriday\, 6 pm | The Liberation of the Self\nExploring how insight into our interior lives can be an active justice practice\, as we talk about selfhood\, story\, and memory.\nSaturday\, 9 am | Liberating Emotion\nExamining how emotional truth-telling informs contemplation and activism—specifically emotions such as lament and anger.\nSaturday\, 1 pm | Contemplation & The Body\nDiscussing how contemplative habits can and should guide us into deeper connections with our bodies\, including the cost of justice-work on our bodies\, and contemplation as a healing force.\nSaturday\, 5 pm | Closing Prayer Service\nGathering in the graces and sharing our intentions.\n\n \n\nAbout Cole Arthur Riley\nCole Arthur Riley is a writer\, liturgist\, and speaker who is seeking a deeply contemplative life marked by embodiment and emotion. She is the founder and writer of Black Liturgies—a project seeking to integrate concepts of dignity\, lament\, rage\, justice\, rest\, and liberation with the practice of written prayer. She also serves as the content and spiritual formation manager for Chesterton House\, a Christian studies center at Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Kiss the Ground Viewing and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:What do climate stability\, healthy eating\, and beautiful landscapes have in common? They all depend on soil quality. Whether or not you’ve thought about what’s underfoot\, Kiss the Ground will give you a new appreciation for how critical it is to our health and well-being—and our planet’s future. \nJoin the Environmental Team following Summer worship on Sunday\, June 13\, for an online viewing of Kiss the Ground (45 mintues)\, as well as a conversation moderated by Stefani Danes. \nThe documentary examines a revolutionary group of activists\, scientists\, farmers\, and politicians who are leading a global movement of “Regenerative Agriculture.” We’ll see how dust bowls become Gardens of Eden\, as well as other great examples of the ways we can balance our climate\, replenish our vast water supplies\, and feed the world. Understanding how important soil is to all life\, we’ll also discover how important our everyday choices are to sustaining the life of the soil. \nJoin us via Zoom at tiny.cc/kiss-the-ground or by calling 646.558.8656.

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club | Farming While Black
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee continues their study and activities around nature\, regeneration\, interdependence\, gardening\, and farming. We invite you to read Leah Penniman’s book\, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land. Our discussion will take place on Monday\, July 12\, 7 pm\, at Garfield Community Farm (509 Wicklow Street\, 15224)\, or via Zoom if it rains. \nIn 1920\, 14% of all land-owning U.S. farmers were Black. Today less than 2% of farms are controlled by Black people—a loss of over 14 million acres and the result of discrimination and dispossession. While farm management is among the whitest of professions\, farm labor is predominantly brown and exploited—and people of color disproportionately live in “food apartheid” neighborhoods and suffer from diet-related illness. The system is built on stolen land and stolen labor. \nThroughout the chapters\, Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described—from whole farm planning\, soil fertility\, seed selection\, and agroecology\, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes\, sharing stories of ancestors\, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm—a national leader in the food justice movement. \nFor more information\, or to tell us you are attending\, contact Nancy Heastings. \n\nIf it’s raining\, the discussion will take place via Zoom. Click the button below to join\, or call in by dialing 646 558 8656 and entering meeting ID 847 2282 6337 and passcode 493959 when prompted. \nJoin Book Discussion

SUMMARY:Stonewall Jackson Window Updates
DESCRIPTION:Following Sanctuary worship on Sunday\, September 12\, the Peace\, Property\, and Facing Systemic Racism Committees invite you to a conversation on the future of the stained-glass window depicting General Stonewall Jackson\, located in our Sanctuary’s East Transept. The window has been the subject of prayerful research by a Session-appointed task force\, which is ready to share its findings with the congregation. \nOur conversation will include a brief overview of how Confederate monuments and symbols have been used since the Civil War to help create a revisionist history that glorifies Confederates as cultural heroes\, rather than the violent defenders of white supremacist ideology. More importantly\, the task force will be seeking your input on how ELPC can meaningfully respond—with justice and faithfulness—to the display of this problematic symbol in our church. \nIf you’re watching our Sanctuary worship service livestream on YouTube or Facebook (beginning at 11 am)\, you may use the same feed to see the presentation. Or\, click here at 12:15 pm. \nTo listen to the audio portion of the presentation (beginning at 12:15 pm)\, you may call 301.715.8592. Enter meeting ID 883 0027 9230 and passcode 444397 when prompted.

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club | Walden
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team invites you to read Henry David Thoreau’s classic nature book\, Walden\, and join a discussion on Thursday\, September 30\, 7 pm. \nIn 1845\, philosopher and writer Thoreau built a tiny cabin in the woods near Walden Pond in Concord\, Massachusetts\, where he lived alone and self-sufficient for two years. His observations and reflections became the basis of this book. It is an essay collection with the themes of: \n\nNature as eternal guide and teacher;\nLiving independently and breaking free from the expectations and conventions of traditional society;\nMinimalism or detaching ourselves from a goal-driven\, materialistic worldview; and\nSelf-improvement with a focus on meditation\, and understanding our place in the universe.\n\nKatherine Hackney will lead our discussion. For more information\, or to tell us you are coming\, contact Nancy Heastings at n.heastings@comcast.net.
