SUMMARY:Boston Flourish 2023
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:  Gather with the dreamers and doers of our city to activate and partner towards a Boston where everyone flourishes. \nAt this gathering\, we will celebrate the many ways that God has been and is presently at work in the city and further this work by connecting together to strategically address issues facing Boston residents. \nThis year\, our key impact areas are human trafficking\, youth mental health\, and migrant care. Key organizations addressing these areas will present the current state of these realities\, the progress that is being made\, and how individuals can come alongside their efforts to see tangible change.  While it is only a one-day gathering\, it will generate working teams\, prototypes\, and collaborative potential for transforming our city\, a holistic movement that can be built on for years to come. \nWHY: Jeremiah 29:7 speaks of the need to seek the welfare and holistic flourishing of the city. Our city thrives when faith\, business\, and civic partners collaboratively address local issues rather than work on their own. Our goal is to see Boston Flourish – and we know that this is only possible if we work together. \nWHO: Business\, non-profit\, church\, and city leaders are all invited to take part in this gathering. This gathering is founded on Christian / holistic gospel values\, and we invite anyone who wants to join us in seeking the flourishing of the city. \nPlease join us and help to spread the word! \nFor more information\, visit www.bostonflourish.com. \nClick here to register for the conference \nClick here for sponsor letter & form

SUMMARY:Religious Leadership & Public Repair: A Conversation with Rob Schenck and Abigail Disney
DESCRIPTION:Join Hebrew College for “Religious Leadership & Public Repair”: A conversation with Rev. Rob Schenck\, an ordained evangelical minister and a progressive voice of dissent in his religious community and Abigail E. Disney\, Filmmaker/Philanthropist/Activist. \nThe conversation\, moderated by Rabbi Or Rose\, Director of Hebrew College’s Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership\, will include clips from Disney’s award-winning documentary\, The Armor of Light\, to explore Schenck’s evolution as a minister\, his relationship with Disney\, and their reflections on the need to forge relationships across divides. This will include discussion of lessons learned\, current projects\, and future possibilities. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. \nAbout the Film \nThe film captures Schenck’s journey of conscience\, as he began to question the consistency of the pro-gun and pro-life stances of the far-right evangelical movement that he represented at the time. This would eventually lead to Schenck’s break from evangelical orthodoxy on guns\, abortion\, and the public display of religious symbols. \nOur Speakers: \nReverend Dr. Rob Schenck spent nearly four decades as a controversial far-right national figure. The once prominent anti-abortion activist has since repudiated his radical conservative positions and has dedicated himself to promoting racial justice\, reducing gun violence\, and fostering religious inclusion. He is serving as a Hebrew College Visiting Faculty member for the 2023-2024 academic year\, working closely with the College’s Miller Center for Interreligious Leadership & Learning. \nAbigail E. Disney advocates for real changes to the way capitalism operates in today’s world. As a philanthropist and social activist\, she has worked with organizations supporting peacebuilding\, gender justice\, and systemic cultural change. She is a documentary filmmaker who won an Emmy for her film\, The Armor of Light. Her latest film\, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales\, which she co-directed with Kathleen Hughes\, made its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. The film screened in select theaters and is available on demand. In Season 4 of the podcast All Ears\, Abigail uses the film as a jumping-off point to ask big-thinking business leaders\, union organizers\, economists\, and others how they would fix our broken economy. \nRabbi Or Rose is the founding Director of the 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). \nEmail us with any questions\, and register here today!

DESCRIPTION:You and your congregation are invited to join us this weekend on April 28-30 at the Revere Hotel Boston Common\, 200 Stuart St. Dubbed\, ‘Boston’s Pentecost\,’ this weekend will be a time of encountering the Holy Spirit like never before.\n\nAs a team of committed Spirit filled Christians\, our vision is to see revival fire fall upon believers so they can be carriers of a great spiritual awakening. Jesus told His disciples\, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” (Acts 1:8). This is exactly what we are expecting this weekend.\nReviveBoston is a three day revival. It will not be church as usual\, but a time of pressing into God’s presence until His power manifests. God doesn’t want religion. He doesn’t want tradition and rituals either. The only thing God wants from us is our hearts. As we come with surrendered hearts\, laying our all at the altar of the cross of calvary\, God will set us ablaze with fresh fire from heaven.A schedule for the weekend can be seen below:\n\nFRIDAY APRIL 28\n7pm – 10pm: Revival service\nThere is no set structure to these evening revivals as they are led by the Holy Spirit. But they will include worship\, proclamations of God’s Word\, prophecy\, prayers for healing\, deliverance & baptism of the Holy Spirit.\n\nSATURDAY APRIL 29\n9am – 12pm: Evangelism School\nBelievers will be taught topics like\, how to share the gospel\, lead someone to Christ\, pray for the sick and cast out demons.\n12pm – 1pm: Lunch Break\nPeople should bring their own lunch or purchase food/drink from nearby shops.\n1pm – 4pm: City-wide Outreach\nEveryone spreads out in different teams across the City to openly worship and preach the gospel in key locations. Our aims are to flood the streets of Boston with worship AND God’s Word\, lead people to Christ and demonstrate the power of God.\n4pm – 6pm: Testimonies and Prayer\nWe circle back to the Revere Hotel to share testimonies of those saved and set free in the outreach.

SUMMARY:Resilience—A One-Day Conference for Pastors
DESCRIPTION:Pastoral ministry is not for the faint of heart—conflict\, preaching multiple times a week\, incessant demands\, the care of souls\, feelings of inadequacy\, the needs of our own families—and did we mention conflict?

Crawford Loritts tackles that question. \nFor more information and to register\, please click here. \nSponsored by Gordon-Conwell’s Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:None of us are immune to the impact of racism. Sadly\, racial struggles abound on the very campuses where young Christian leaders are being raised up to serve the Lord. It’s important that racism be addressed in these formative spaces so emerging leaders can learn how to faithfully follow Jesus in a multiracial world.\n\nGordon-Conwell Theological Seminary invites you to their Dean’s Forum on Racial Struggles on the Christian Campus. This will feature a presentation from Dr. George Yancey on his research on racial struggles on Christian campuses\, how efforts to promote better race relations have failed\, and reforms that show promise. Dr. Nicholas Rowe will give a response.\n\nPeople can watch this forum online via Facebook and gcts.edu/live. There is also limited in-person seating on the Hamilton Campus. In-person attendance is free and includes lunch\, but requires registration by Feb. 20th.

SUMMARY:Unveiling Patriarchy
DESCRIPTION:Pathways to Healing and Restoration for Women and Men. \nJoin us for this interactive\, experiential online course with Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI)\, specifically focused for Christian communities. This will be held through 7 weekly sessions on Wednesdays from January 18th to March 1st (11.00am – 2.00pm) \nDeveloped over 30 years and conducted with thousands of participants across six continents\, the GERI process applies principles of the Truth and Reconciliation process that was pioneered by Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, to begin a process of healing divisions across humanity. Our journey on this course will take us through the often-muted attitudes\, fears\, shame and brokenness of patriarchal society\, to reclaim and restore the mutual harmony\, respect and collaboration intended for men and women as God’s image bearers. \nLeaving behind our busy agendas\, we join together to create a safe non-judgmental space for attentive listening as we begin to unravel the truth of our gendered experiences. Gradually\, a deeper level of empathy and understanding unfolds to reveal tangible pathways to re-form and re-imagine gender relations that move toward forgiveness\, healing and the restoration of relationships. \nPlease join us as we embrace a new form of spiritual healing and reconciliation work that builds trust and compassionate communication through a skillful combination of interactive activities\, spiritual practice\, and transformative group process. \nFor more information\, visit www.grworld.org To register for the course\, email Michele Breene\, michelebreene@gmail.com \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Uncomfortable Conversations:  Let's talk about gun violence
DESCRIPTION:“We are in a state of emergency in America. Gun violence occupies the headlines of every news outlet. It is such a polarizing subject\, with pro-gun advocates placed against those who chose gun control. No matter on what side you find yourself\, we have to agree we must do something to prevent gun violence in our country. The church especially!”\n– Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr.\n\n\n\n\n– Did you know that in 2020\, gun violence resulted in more than 45\,000 deaths in the US?\n– Did you know that every day 321 people are shot in the US?\n– Did you know there are 120.5 guns for every 100 people in the US?\n– Did you know Americans are 25x more likely to be killed in a gun homicide than people in other high-income countries?\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is our role as Christians in a country with this culture? How can we seek the flourishing of our neighbors in light of these realties? Our panel of experts and activists will help us understand this important issue and challenge us with ways we can engage to make a difference. \n\n\n(Sources: Brady United\, Bloomberg\, Gifford’s Law Center to Reduce Gun Violence\, and AVAIL The Journal)

SUMMARY:Juneteenth Jubilee Observance
DESCRIPTION:For Juneteenth this year\, UniteBoston is teaming up with the New Democracy Coalition and other local partners including The Table for a Christian celebration of liberation on City Hall Plaza. \nThe holiday has a historic meaning within the African American community as way of expressing joy and gratitude about “liberation\, emancipation and justice.” The original Juneteenth celebrations began at Black churches in Texas. The God that Blacks served—who had delivered them from slavery—was and is the God of Liberation. \nOn Monday\, June 20\, 2022\, we will begin what we hope is a tradition: Boston-area Christians coming together to celebrate liberation through the historical prism of Juneteenth. \nElements of the event include: \n• DJ with Gospel and sacred and Soul Music \n• Dancers \n• Drummers \n• Speakers \nChurches and non-profit organizations are invited to bring and set up your own table to share about the work you’re doing in the city\, especially efforts to bring about racial justice and liberation. \nPlease invite your churches and community organizations to join us as we reflect on lighting Boston City Hall in Black Liberation Colors! \nHelp us Spread the Word through the Facebook Event.
