SUMMARY:Revelation in a Time of Plague
DESCRIPTION:A 4-Week Zoom Series of Reflections from Spiritual Leaders of the Abrahamic Family of Faith\n\n4 Wednesdays\, April 22 – May 6\, 2020\n\nHosted by MAS Boston and CMM\n\nStarting this Wednesday\, April 22\, 6:15-7:15pm EST\n\nTo register and receive the Zoom link\, please click the link here\n\nClick here to download pdf\n\n\nThis week’s speakers:\n\n\nRabbi Or Rose is the founding Director of the Betty Ann Greenbaum Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership of Hebrew College. Before assuming this position in 2016\, he worked in various administrative and teaching capacities at Hebrew College for over a decade\, including serving as a founding faculty member and Associate Dean of the Rabbinical School. Rabbi Rose was also one of the creators of CIRCLE\, The Center for Interreligious & Community Leadership Education\, cosponsored by Hebrew College and Andover Newton Theological School (2007 – 2017). In addition to his work at Hebrew College\, Rabbi Rose has taught for the Bronfman Youth Fellowships\, The Wexner Graduate Fellowship\, Me’ah\, and in a variety of other academic\, religious\, and civic contexts throughout North America and in Israel. He is the co-editor of Speaking Torah: Spiritual Teachings from Around the Maggid’s Table (Jewish Lights)\, and the award-winning anthology\, My Neighbor’s Faith: Stories of Interreligious Encounter\, Growth\, and Transformation (Orbis). His most recent publication is the anthology\, Words To Live By: Sacred Sources for Interreligious Engagement (Orbis 2018). In 2009 – 2010\, he was selected as a member of the Shalom Hartman Institute’s inaugural North American Scholar’s Circle. In 2014\, Northeastern University honored him for his interreligious educational efforts.\nRodney L. Petersen\, PhD is executive director of The Lord’s Day Alliance of the U.S. (LDAUSA) and Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM)\, greater Boston area’s oldest interfaith social justice network. He is formerly executive director of the Boston Theological Institute\, taught in the member schools and overseas\, and was co-founder of the Religion and Conflict Transformation program. He serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations. Petersen is author or co-editor of numerous publications\, including\, Forgiveness and Reconciliation: Religion\, Public Policy and Conflict Transformation (Templeton Foundation Press\, 2001); Overcoming Violence (BTI\, 2010); Formation for Life: Peacemaking and Twenty – First Century Discipleship (Wipf and Stock\, 2013); general editor of George H. Williams\, History of Religion at Harvard\, 3 volumes (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht\, 2014); and Religion and Public Policy: Human Rights\, Conflict\, and Ethics (Cambridge University Press\, 2015).\nCarl Sharif El-Tobgui\, PhD is Associate Professor of Arabic & Islamic Studies and Director of the Arabic Language Program in the Near Eastern and Judaic Studies department at Brandeis University. Professor El-Tobgui’s scholarly expertise lies in the field of Islamic thought\, with a special concentration on theology\, law\, and jurisprudence. He has recently published his first book\, Ibn Taymiyya on Reason and Revelation\, which examines a 10-volume treatise on the relationship between reason and scripture. In addition to his expertise in Islamic thought\, Professor El-Tobgui has a deep love of language in general and of Classical Arabic in particular and has enjoyed for many years exploring the intricacies of Arabic grammar\, as well as classical literature and poetry with his students.\n\n\nThis 4-week program that brings together congregations from the three Abrahamic traditions (Muslim\, Christian and Jewish) and other interested persons. 12 faith community leaders (a representative three at each of 4 gatherings)\, will each offer advice to the community regarding some of the questions below (and others as they see fit)\, and then to open it for the congregants to reflect\, ask questions\, etc. The questions might be the following:\n\n\nWhat is the role of God in this pandemic?\nWhat is the role of spirituality and religion?\nWhat is the role of people of faith?\nHow can we connect more with our spiritual being and God so that we can help the world overcome this crisis?\nWhat do we tell our children when they ask why is God doing this?\nAnd many others\n\n\nThis program starts on Wednesday\, April 22\, and ends on Wednesday\, May 13\, running for an hour each consecutive Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 in the evenings (Except for April 22\, we will start at 6:15).\n\nThis period of time is sacred to each of these three traditions and symbolic of fresh transcendent revelation. For Muslims it falls during the sacred month of Ramadan\, April 23 – May 23\, and calls to mind the year 610 A.D. when it is believed that the angel Gabriel appeared to Prophet Muhammad and revealed to him the Quran\, the Islamic holy book. For Christians this period begins after Easter (W: April 12; E: April 19) and ends with Pentecost (W: May 31; E: June 7)\, 50 days after Easter Sunday which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and disciples of Jesus while they were in Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Feast of Weeks. Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) commemorates the revelation of the Torah to Moses and the Jewish people on Mount Sinai\, May 28-30.\n\nThis program represents a chance for faith leaders to provide more guidance to our congregations regarding the role of spirituality and faith in these trying times\, and to leverage this as an opportunity to anchor the faithful to God\, in order to come closer to Him\, to pray more\, and to find answers to big questions that are often posed during a crisis. If faith leaders unite on this purpose we might collectively find an ecumenical and interfaith role in the whole of our societies toward a closer relationship with God or the mystically transcendent\, which would benefit everyone.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Hossam Al-Jabri of MAS Boston (Hossam.aljabri@gmail.com) or Rodney Petersen of CMM (617-331-1747; rlp@coopmet.org)

SUMMARY:Love Over Fear Workshop

SUMMARY:Our Spiritual Transformation: Exploring the Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:Every day we brush up against people with blind spots\, hot spots\, and sweet spots; and we have them too! Sweet spots are places of connection\, transparency\, giftedness\, and love; blind and hot spots reveal our false self ego. How can we get a clear view of ourselves? How can we change? \nIn Colossians 3 Paul says\, “Put to death\, therefore\, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality\, impurity\, lust\, evil desires and greed\, …  rid yourselves of anger\, rage\, malice\, slander\, and filthy language. Do not lie to each other\, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self\, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. As God’s chosen people\, . . . put on compassion\, kindness\, humility\, gentleness and patience. . . . Forgive as the Lord forgave you. . . . Put on love\, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” \nThe Enneagram is a tool for transformation because it helps us recognize our heart motivations and provides us with ways of being intentional in our journey to love God and neighbor. The $55 cost covers food and materials. \nDoug & Adele Calhoun are the presenters with two decades experience working with and teaching the Enneagram. They are co-authors of Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram; A Handbook for Harmony and Transformation. Annaliese Calhoun–also trained in the Enneagram and a spiritual director–will also present.  Email Doug Calhoun at calhounministries@gmail.com to register. Register by Feb 26; after that cost is $65.

SUMMARY:Veritas Forum Dinner Discussion: Imposing morality in global health?
DESCRIPTION:Veritas Forum Dinner Discussion: Imposing morality in global health? \nVeritas Forum Feb. 21: \nRSVP for the event here: \nEventbrite:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/veritas-forum-imposing-morality-in-global-health-tickets-87726128211 \nRSVP for dinner discussions immediately following the event: \nhttps://forms.gle/FbKGVurfeihvPwCB8 \nGlobal health in cross-cultural settings can involve numerous complex situations. Many have accused global health practitioners\, despite their best intentions\, of cultural imperialism due to their imposition of certain (usually Western) norms and worldviews as they attempt to improve health in cultural settings different than their own. Many examples can be cited of times when foreigners have caused harm as they attempted to improve conditions for groups in other countries. \nBut is all advocacy for cultural change wrong? As an extreme example\, one might point to human sacrifice as an area where even certain forms of cultural imperialism might be called for. Along the gradient there might be increasing gray areas for issues like foot-binding\, female circumcision\, differing views on mental health treatment\, or even cultural practices for food or intake of different substances. \nHow should we decide what change to advocate for amidst cultural diversity? What should advocacy look like for outsiders in a different cultural environment? \nThis year’s Veritas Forum at Harvard Medical School will be a dialogue between 2 speakers with differing perspectives on the issue. Come with an open mind and any questions you might have! \n  \nImposing morality in global health?: Thoughtful Advocacy Amidst Cultural Diversity \nFriday\, Feb. 21\, 2020 / 6:30-8:30 pm \n(Note: Dinner discussions immediately following the event will occur in rooms in the same building from 9-10pm)\n \nTMEC Amphitheater (260 Longwood Ave.\, Boston\, MA 02115) \nDetails: http://www.veritas.org/location/harvard-medical-school/ \n  \nSpeakers: \n \nJacqueline Bhabha\, JD\, MSc\, Harvard School of Public Health: Professor of Global Health. \nClydette Powell\, MD\, US Department of Health and Human Services: Director for the Division of Health Care Quality (prior medical officer within the Bureau for Global Health) \nModerator: \nGloria Hammond\, MD\, MDiv\, Bethel AME Church: Pastor (founder and executive director of My Sister’s Keeper\, an initiative for global health in Sudan) \nSponsored by:  The Veritas Forum\, The Initiative on Health\, Religion\, and Spirituality at Harvard Medical School\, HMS Center for Bioethics

SUMMARY:Learning Interreligiously as a Key to a Better World
DESCRIPTION:How embracing diverse faith traditions can make the world a better place \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event: \n\n\nJoin A Faith That Does Justice and Father Francis X. Clooney for an inter-faith discussion about how embracing diverse faith traditions can lead to a more caring\, generous\, and open-minded world. \nFrancis X. Clooney\, S.J.\, joined the Harvard Divinity School faculty in 2005\, where he is the Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Comparative Theology. After earning his doctorate in South Asian languages and civilizations (University of Chicago\, 1984)\, he taught at Boston College for 21 years before coming to Harvard. \nHis primary areas of Indological scholarship are theological commentarial writings in the Sanskrit and Tamil traditions of Hindu India. He is also a leading figure globally in the developing field of comparative theology\, a discipline distinguished by attentiveness to the dynamics of theological learning deepened through the study of traditions other than one’s own. He has also written on the Jesuit missionary tradition\, particularly in India\, on the early Jesuit pan-Asian discourse on reincarnation\, and on the dynamics of dialogue and interreligious learning in the contemporary world.

SUMMARY:2020 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
DESCRIPTION:The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an international initiative where Christians worldwide are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (John 17:21).Locally\, UniteBoston coordinates evening collaborative gatherings of fellowship\, prayer and worship from January 18-25 annually. \n\nIn 2020\, the theme is “They Showed Us Unusual Kindness\,” (Acts 28:2) which was chosen by Christians in Malta. Malta\, an island in the Mediterranean Sea\, received the Christian faith through the efforts of the Apostle Paul\, after he was shipwrecked there while travelling to Rome (Acts 27:18 – 28:10). The local islanders showed Paul and the early disciples unusual kindness and hospitality through building a fire and welcoming them in\, despite the rain and cold. This posture of hospitality and welcoming of the stranger is a strong theme throughout the Biblical narrative. In a world where deep differences often keep people divided\, it’s as we adopt a posture of showing “unusual kindness” to other Christians and people of all backgrounds that we become witnesses of God’s love to all people. \nJoin in! \nMark Your Calendars – You are invited to mark your calendars and plan to attend the evening gatherings! People who attend from night to night will experience the Church in Boston in her diverse array of ethnicities\, traditions\, and geography. We encourage you to take part in the evening gatherings to learn from the various expressions of Christian worship present within the body of Christ in Boston. We encourage you to attend neighborhood dinners in homes to nurture fellowship and prayer across our churches at the local level with our team of neighborhood dinner coordinators. \nSpread the Word – We also appreciate help spreading the word to people in your congregation\, family\, friends\, and neighbors.

SUMMARY:Imagine Forum: New England featuring Neil Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Christians in New England are struggling. We wonder if the Gospel can really make a difference here — the least churched\, most post-Christian region of the country. But we know nothing is impossible with God. In fact\, Scripture tells us that He “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine!” (Eph. 3:20) \nSo\, what can you imagine? On Saturday\, October 19th\, we will explore what it looks like for ordinary churches to become whole-life disciples in the places He sends us throughout the week—in our workplaces\, in our schools\, in our neighborhoods—on our everyday “Frontlines.” Our keynote speaker\, Neil Hudson\, brings a wealth of wisdom gained by working with hundreds of leaders\, both in the UK and around the world\, who want their churches to become whole-life disciple-making communities. He is a gifted speaker\, author of Imagine Church (IVP\, 2012) and Scattered & Gathered (IVP\, 2019)\, and a pastor for more than 30 years. \nWe will also hear from local leaders who have been pursuing this vision in New England for the past several years. And we will give you time and space to process the implications for your own unique context. \nSo whether you are a pastor or lay leader\, you are invited – bring your leadership team!
