SUMMARY:Accompanying New Arrivals: Solidarity & Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:Since family shelter stopped being guaranteed in MA in August\, volunteers have had a fast-paced and heartbreaking few months supporting unhoused families at the train stations and welcome centers. Others have been working to open the doors of their congregations or personal homes to provide shelter and keep families off the streets. Over the past three months we have witnessed how state systems are deeply failing our newest neighbors. On Oct 22 from 7-8:30 pm\, we will offer a training for volunteers to come together to learn\, understand the basic principles of accompaniment and solidarity\, and discuss how to take care of ourselves in the face of systemic injustice so that we can stay engaged in this work. If you are new to volunteering\, we will include some concrete steps on how to get more involved! Workshop developed by Boston Immigrant Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN)\, Episcopal City Mission\, and MA Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. \nClick HERE to Register.

SUMMARY:"Equip the Saints" Program for Black Preachers
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline is June 15! \nMassachusetts Council of Churches will serve Black clergy from across its network through cohorts of preacher-practitioners\, regular podcasts\, a “Preachers-in-Residence” program\, peer-to-peer support\, and an annual preaching symposium called “Sound the Trumpet in Zion.” They will prioritize Black preacher mental health and engage in a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching. \nPURPOSE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur purpose in “Equip the Saints” is first and foremost support for Black clergy. From our design meeting\, Black clergy shared that they felt the despair and malaise of their congregation\, and their own impending sense of burnout through the multiple pandemics of the past three years. Everything we do in this program point towards increased vocational support. We believe this focus on support for Black clergy is just and appropriate\, given the systemic racism of our region and escalating white supremacist violence. Our overall objective also includes equipping all clergy to faithfully and biblically preach against the idolatry of white supremacy cloaked in Christianity and preach towards the unity of the body of Christ. \nPROCESS \nBlack clergy from across the Church in Massachusetts will be eligible to apply to join Cohorts of 20 preacher-practitioners per year over the course of five program years\, starting in June 2024. We will support and strengthen compelling preaching through regular podcasts\, annual clergy cohorts\, via “Preachers-in-Residence\,” and peer-to-peer support with an annual Preaching Symposium\, “Blow the Trumpet in Zion.” \nWe prioritize Black preacher mental health with two sessions of support from a preacher-social worker each year. We aim to cultivate and strengthen a fellowship of committed and confident preachers across Massachusetts. \nEach Cohort will begin their preaching formation journey together with a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching that very few people other than wealthy white individuals have been able to visit. \nEach Cohort will engage in a rhythm of learning\, practice\, and reflection with Preachers-in-Residence. Preachers will then return to their congregation to practice their new skills or ideas. A second session returns to the Cohort for a reflection on their practice. In this way\, we build up both preaching resources and capacity in our network of preachers. The annual Preaching Symposium\, modeled off of CTS’s Mixed Methods Preaching Conference\, serves as a Church wide gathering to learn\, and grow in strength and solidarity. \nLearn More Here \nApply Here

SUMMARY:Start With Welcome: The Journey toward a Confident and Compassionate Immigration Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S.\, and if we’re honest\, that gives many of us pause.\n\nAs Christians we’re supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves. But many can’t stop wondering if we showed welcome to the world\, would it change our culture? Would it make us less safe? Would it be a drain on our taxes and local communities? Come and explore these questions with Bri Stensrud as she shares with us about her new book\, Start With Welcome: The Journey toward a Confident and Compassionate Immigration Conversation.

SUMMARY:Good Friday Public Worship & Action for Ceasefire
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Good Friday\, March 29\, at 4PM at Faneuil Hall* Square to make it known: as Christians and people of faith\, we demand a ceasefire now.\n \nGood Friday\, March 29\, 4PM 1 Faneuil Hall* Sq\, Boston\, MA 02109 (map) RSVP at: https://bit.ly/goodfridayaction \nThis Holy Week\, we follow in the steps of Jesus who resisted the forces of violence and oppression even to the point of death on a cross\, and triumphed over them in his resurrection. On Good Friday\, we remember and bear witness to Jesus’ suffering at the hands of the Roman Empire. This prophetic memory calls us to be in solidarity with Palestinians and all peoples who are suffering under occupation and systemic violence. On Good Friday\, we will mourn the lives lost in Gaza\, and take action to ensure this violence ends. \nWe will engage the narrative and symbols of Jesus’ confrontation with—and victory over—violence to demand that our government take this opportunity to confess\, repent\, and repair. We call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire\, unfettered aid to enter Gaza\, an end to unrestricted funding for weapons of war to Israel\, and a release of all hostages and prisoners. \nWe will gather to worship—with preaching\, confession\, song and ritual—and we will take action to proclaim to our city and to our political leaders that the time for a lasting ceasefire is now. We call on people of faith to stand alongside Palestinian Christians in their call to “reject all theologies and interpretations that legitimize the wars of the powerful” and to recognize a “God of the downtrodden and the oppressed\, and a Jesus who rebuked the powerful and lifted up the marginalized.” \nWe are mindful of the history of Christian antisemitic violence during Holy Week\, especially on Good Friday. On this day as we face the cross\, we must reckon with the legacy of violence and colonization\, committed in the name of Christianity\, while we recommit to the liberating path of Jesus\, who confronted empire and proclaimed\, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” \nThe calls for a permanent ceasefire continue to grow\, and the political establishment is finding it harder to ignore the will of people. The Biden administration is pushing for a “temporary truce” that does not take any responsibility for the United States’ role in the destruction of Gaza. We call on our nation’s representatives to live into the values they claim to support. We need a lasting ceasefire now. \nThis action is being planned by a group of clergy and faith leaders\, many of whom are associated with Interfaith Ceasefire in Boston. \nFollow us @interfaithceasefire on instagram and @interfaithcease on X/Twitter. \n\n\n\n*In October of 2023 the Boston City Council voted to change the name of Faneuil Hall which was named for a slave owner and slave trader\, after years of organizing by a coalition to change the name of the hall.
