SUMMARY:Democracy Under Duress | The 18th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to attend the 18th annual Walter Rodney Symposium. This year’s theme is “Democracy Under Duress.” \nThe symposium will explore the fragility of the democratic state and strategies for creating and protecting a true democracy. Internationally renowned scholar\, activist and educator Angela Y. Davis will Keynote the 18th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium. \nSchedule:   \n\n10:30–11:45 am | “Walter Rodney\, Human Rights and Decolonization”\n12–1:15 pm | “Imperialism\, State Violence and the Assassination of Walter Rodney”\n1:30 pm | Keynote Speaker Angela Davis\n\nThe 18th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium is co-hosted by The Walter Rodney Foundation and the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library. For more information\, visit www.walterrodneyfoundation.org or contact walterrodneyfoundation@gmail.com. \nRegister for Free \n\nWalter Rodney (1942-1980) was a historian\, intellectual\, scholar-activist\, educator\, pan-Africanist\, and revolutionary. His scholarly works and political activism engendered a new political consciousness\, challenged prevailing assumptions about African history\, provided a new construct for development theory and established a framework for analyzing current global socio-economic and political issues. Rodney & Davis’ lives intersected when they met at the University of Dar-es- Salaam in Tanzania; they are both grounded in historical truth\, and in their commitment to human dignity\, liberation\, resistance and scholar-activism.

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday Processional
DESCRIPTION:ELPC is hosting a special outdoor Palm Sunday Processional. You may pick up palm branches at the church and then process around our building—wearing masks and maintaining a safe distance. You can also process in your vehicle! Make banners and bring instruments to sing Hosanna and praise God! \nIf you would like to participate in a Palm Sunday celebration from the comfort of your own home\, please let Pastor Heather or Ms. Sara know. You can call ahead to pick up Palm Branches or make Palm branches from construction paper at home. \n  \n\nSchedule and Notes\nPlease arrive between 1 pm and 1:40 pm to pick up your palm branches. \n\nThose joining the processional on foot are invited to go to one of the corners of the sidewalk around the church\, get their palm branches\, and pick a spot on some chalk art on the sidewalk. The chalk art will measure out 6 feet of distance\, as we ask you (and anyone in your family) to remain 6 feet away from anyone outside of your bubble.\nThose driving up to pick up a palm branch without exiting your car\, please pull into the Highland Avenue Turn-around to get your palm branch.\n\nBrass Roots Tympanist\, Abby\, will be playing\, starting at 1 pm. \n\nBring your drums\, maracas\, bells\, shakers\, pots and pans…and join her in making a joyful noise unto our Lord!\nWe will have TWO different processionals around the church. One will start at 1:15 pm\, and the second will start at 1:45 pm. Abby will lead the line\, beginning at the corner of Highland and Penn\, as we circle the building 3 times.  Feel Free to march along in the procession\, or move to the side and shout Hosanna from one spot. Drop by for one of the processionals\, or stay for the whole hour.\n\nMake an Instrument of Your Own\nIf you’d like to make an instrument of your own to bring along\, here are the instructions for a “tambouracca” \n\nYou will need two paper plates (of any size\, as long as they are the SAME size); dried beans or rice; stapler\nPlace a 1 tablespoon of beans or rice in the center of a paper plate.\nPlace the second plate on top of the first\, with the center of the plates facing each other.\nStaple along the outside to seal the instrument\n\nMake a Banner\nUsing posterboard\, fabric\, felt\, or paper\, make a banner to celebrate Palm Sunday.

SUMMARY:NO Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Our Mindfulness Meditation group will not meet tonight\, Thursday\, April 1\, so that we can worship together at our Maundy Thursday service at 7 pm. Our regular schedule will resume next Thursday. \n\n“Meditation means to be in the process of realizing that God is wholly present in each step along our way. It is to be slowly awakening to the divine destination of our journey manifesting itself in the divinity of our own breathing\, our own beating heart\, our simply being who we are.”—James Finley \nMindfulness meditation is the practice of resting in present moment awareness without judgment\, opening to the heart of love and compassion for ourselves\, others\, and our world. Each Thursday evening\, Susan Spangler and Ted Cmarada will guide us in these practices and offer support for practicing meditation in everyday life. Those new to meditation and those with experience are welcome. \nClick the button below at the scheduled time to join via Zoom or call in by dialing 312.626.6799. Enter meeting ID\, 959 8065 3992\, and passcode\, mindful\, when prompted. \nJOIN VIA ZOOM \n\nAbout Susan Spangler and Ted Cmarada\nSusan and Ted began practicing Mindfulness Meditation in 1990 with the beloved Vietnamese Buddhist teacher Thich Naht Hanh. Over the years\, their practice and appreciation of mindfulness and related meditation practices has deepened through relationships and study with teachers from various meditation traditions. They bring to their teaching the warmth\, humor and compassion modeled for them by these teachers\, a caring presence cultivated through the practice of psychotherapy\, and loving hearts nurtured through their deep and life-long commitment to the Christian path.

SUMMARY:Vigil for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:The verdicts delivered in the murder trial of George Floyd remind us that incidental accountability is still possible in today’s world—even as comprehensive justice and an end to systemic racism remain goals not yet accomplished. The memory of George Floyd gasping for breath beneath the literal knee of oppression haunts us. And the growing list of names of people killed by police shootings\, the rising injury and death toll caused by American gun violence\, and the widespread acts of racial bigotry inflicted on African Americans and people of color—including Asian Americans\, Pacific Islanders\, Latinx\, Native Americans and others—all of this compels us to gather as a witness fully committed to the work yet to be done. \nPeople are invited to stand vigil around ELPC holding up signs that reflect our community’s commitment to affirm Black Lives Matter\, that allow us to continue saying George Floyd’s name and invoke the names of other victims of racist and police-based violence\, and that acknowledge how the struggle for true justice extends before us\, calling us toward a horizon of equality\, equity\, and a Beloved Community. We ask that all participants be masked and willing to observe safe social distancing during this event. \nPlease join us for this ecumenical\, interfaith public vigil. May our combined presence be the voice crying out for waters of justice to pour down mightily in our land. May our common witness be the plowshare of hope fashioned from the broken swords and weapons of racial injustice. \n\nSponsored by National Black Presbyterian Caucus (Pittsburgh Chapter) and East Liberty Presbyterian Church \nPhoto by Jared Wickerham\, Pittsburgh City Paper
