SUMMARY:Legacy of Slavery at Harvard University tour
DESCRIPTION:“If you abide in my word\, you are truly my disciples\, and you will know the truth\, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32) \n\n\n\n\n“VERITAS” – Harvard’s motto “Truth” inscribed on gates\, doorways\, and sculptures all over campus \n\n\n\nJoin UniteBoston’s Sankofa cohort for Legacy of Slavery at Harvard University tour\, which uncovers the truth of Harvard University’s entanglements with the institution of slavery through a 10-stop tour. The stops on the tour provide an opportunity to learn about a part of Harvard’s history that has long been hidden in plain sight. In addition\, the tour elevates stories of Black women and men whose resistance and leadership have shaped the University—and our nation. \n\n\n\nThe tour will be led by Rev. Rita Powell\, director of the Episcopal Chaplaincy at Harvard University. We will take special note of the way Christian congregations and churches have contributed or resisted the institution of slavery\, and the repair work that is taking place today. The tour will go from 2:30pm – 4:30pm at the Harvard-Episcopal chaplaincy building\, 1A Garden Street\, Cambridge MA 02138\, and will conclude with a time of refreshments from 4:30 to 5:00pm in the same location. \nFrom Megan Lietz\, director of the Race & Christian Community Initiative and Sankofa group member: “Boston is known for its world-class colleges and universities. But many of these institutions were built on the backs of enslaved people. Take the time to better understand how our city’s academic success has been shaped by the institution of slavery through a history of slavery at Harvard tour.” \n\nClick Here to Register\n\nP.S. If you’re not able to make it on this date and time\, the tour can also be experienced online here and there are many other resources regarding Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery \n\n\n\nP.P.S. Curious what the tour is like? Dr. Michael James\, a previous UniteBoston cohort member\, has written a blog sharing his experience in the walking tour about how it nurtured love and a shared humanity. \n

SUMMARY:Jesus: Savior\, Healer\, Friend
DESCRIPTION:Join women from Boston and New England at our 3rd collaborative conference. Jesus: Savior\, Healer\, Friend is an event that will focus squarely on the person of Jesus. As Savior\, Jesus died on the cross so that we would be reconciled to God and live a life of abundance in this world. He also knew that this world is temporary and that there is another one that we can look forward to where there is no suffering or pain. As our Healer\, Jesus restores the broken places in our souls\, the traumas\, and the deep wounds we’ve experienced. By his stripes we are healed\, the Bible says. As our Friend\, Jesus promises to never leave us or forsake us. In Him\, we have his guarantee that we will never be alone through the ups and downs of life. \nIf you’ve never experienced life lived for Jesus\, we especially invite you to join us. You will not be disappointed. \nCome and let’s experience together everything that Jesus is and promises to us. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Step into Black History: Footsoldiers
DESCRIPTION:How Everyday People from the Civil Rights Movement Continue to Inspire & Inform Anti-racist Action Today\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Black Freedom Movement of the 1950’s and 60’s called upon everyday people to take a stand against racism. As folks answered this call\, they became known as foot soldiers and\, collectively\, their actions contributed to the success of the movement \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn June 2024\, The Race & Christian Community Initiative (RCCI) convened 9 people from Boston to embark on a Southern Civil Rights Pilgrimage where we had the opportunity to meet with foot soldiers. Courageous Conversations Toward Racial Justice has invited some of these local pilgrims to share how their encounters with foot soldiers informed their understanding of activism and inspire them to take action today.The framing and introduction for this panel will be offered by John Williams\, Executive Director of the Center for Restorative Justice (CFRJ). The CFRJ hosts these Southern Civil Right Pilgrimages and will share about how you could participate in such an experience this summer or beyond. \nPlease RSVP HERE – Zoom link will be provided after RSVP.

SUMMARY:Looking Back to Move Forward: Stories from the Boston Sankofa Journey

SUMMARY:Good Friday Worship Service- 7 Last Words of Christ Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The seven last words of Jesus Christ\, recorded in the Gospels\, are significant in our Christian tradition. They provide a profound opportunity for reflection and understanding\, particularly during the Lenten season and on Good Friday. Many view these words as a fulfillment of messianic prophecies and a demonstration of Jesus’s mission to save us from our sins. \nWe invite you to the Good Friday Worship Service\, The Seven Last Words of Christ Jesus\, hosted by BMATenpoint on Friday April 18 from 12pm to 3pm at St John Missionary Baptist Church. The preaching promises to be both powerful and inspiring! \n\nAlso\, we invite you to take time to reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and to celebrate His glorious triumph over sin and death with our digital Holy Week Devotional. \nTo access the devotional\, simply click here and scroll down (it can also be accessed here).  We hope these thoughtful writings\, created by the clergy leaders of BMA TenPoint\, will help you draw closer to Him during this meaningful Easter season.

SUMMARY:Join the Pilot Cohort of the  Beloved Community Lab
DESCRIPTION:Monthly on Tuesdays\, 11:00AM–2:00PM | Starts September 16 | $750 Stipend | Application Due August 15 \n – Do you long to be in a community of Boston-based leaders from a variety of Christian traditions and backgrounds? \n – How do we follow Jesus’ call to love our neighbors – and our enemies – without losing our convictions? \n – Do you want to explore how conflict can strengthen our connections to one another instead of fracturing us apart?  \n – Do you long for the Church to be known for what we are for\, rather than what we are against?  \n – Do you desire to be an ambassador of reconciliation (2 Cor 5:20) and want to grow in learning how to lead your community in the peacemaking\, reconciling Way of Jesus?   –  \nIf these questions stir up something inside you\, then the Beloved Community Lab might be for you! \n\nA New Kind of Leadership for our Divided Time \nDespite Jesus’ clear mandate for unity and welcoming all to the table\, churches remain some of the most divided institutions in our society. With over 45\,000 Christian denominations and countless divides over race\, gender\, theology\, and politics\, the Church’s fractured witness stands in stark contrast to Jesus’ prayer that we would be one (John 17). \nA team of diverse Christian leaders in Boston recognized this gap and came together to ask: \nWhat kind of discipleship is needed to form leaders who uphold God’s call for unity and oneness in today’s world? \nThrough prayer\, study\, and listening\, UniteBoston has been on a two-year journey of developing the Beloved Community Lab\, a unique opportunity for Boston-area Christian leaders to come together across lines of difference to learn and practice unity\, justice\, and reconciliation in their leadership contexts. \nWe call this a “lab” because it combines core theological concepts with real-world application through case studies\, interactive exercises\, and spiritual practices. This cohort is a space for spiritual formation—shaping leaders into peacemakers and reconcilers\, growing into the life and way of Jesus.  \nThe things that are keeping us part are deep-rooted: we need a vision of togetherness that doesn’t only lean into our differences but also brings about holistic gospel transformation. If we want to see a different kind of world and a more embodied Christian witness\, we must become different kinds of people. Our pilot Beloved Community Lab cohort is an experiment in Christian unity that seeks to change not just what we know\, but how we live. \n\nDetails  \nWHEN: Tuesdays from 11:00AM–2:00PM\nFORMAT: Monthly gatherings in-person (Greater Boston Area) or Zoom\nSTIPEND: $750 for full participation\nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: August 15\, 2025\nWHO SHOULD APPLY:\nChristian leaders in Greater Boston who value unity\, reconciliation\, and justice—and want to grow in living these out. We are seeking to convene a cohort community of stakeholders that come from a wide range of denominational\, theological\, racial/ethnic\, and generational backgrounds to shape the curriculum during its pilot stage. \nClick here to see the Beloved Community Lab Cohort PDF to learn more about the vision\, dates\, core competencies\, and more. We will be choosing 15 pastoral leaders from diverse backgrounds and we do have $750 stipends to honor leaders for their time and participation. \nWe believe there’s no better time than now for Christ followers to prioritize the ministry of reconciliation by engaging well across our deep differences – serving as peacemakers in our fractured world. Today’s algorithms and silos will seek to keep us fractured and divided\, but God calls us to a different way.  \nApply by August 15 to join the Pilot Cohort!  \nWe look forward to learning with you!
