SUMMARY:Reparations and Community Repair
DESCRIPTION:WHAT WE PROPOSE HAPPENS NEXT BRJC outlines six immediate steps to move Boston’s reparations process forward \nBOSTON\, MA – As Boston’s reparations process enters an important new phase following the cancellation of a portion of its historical research\, the Boston Reparative Justice Coalition (BRJC)\, through the Reparations Now! Campaign for Boston\, is releasing a six-step community proposal focused on completing unfinished work\, strengthening descendant participation\, and providing residents with a clearer path from historical research to recommendations and implementation. \nOn September 2\, community activist and American Freedman Aja Jackson wrote in the Bay State Banner that Boston must stop studying reparations and start delivering them. Since then\, the urgency has increased: the Tufts-led portion of the historical research was cancelled\, the full $335\,000 contract amount was returned to the City\, and the separate Northeastern research covering 1940-2020 is complete and under review. \nWith several community proposals and timelines now circulating\, BRJC believes residents should have a clear understanding of what is already underway\, what remains incomplete\, and what additional steps could help move the existing work toward completion. \n“The City must document the facts\, and the community must document what those facts did to our families\,” said Jackson. “The goal is not to replace professional research with testimony. It is to make sure descendant evidence can help identify records\, add context\, reveal gaps\, and show the generational impact of documented public actions.” \nWHAT WE PROPOSE HAPPENS NEXT \n\nComplete the missing historical research. Finish the factual record from the 1600s-1940 with rigorous documentation of policies\, institutions\, properties\, displacement\, economic losses\, government actions\, and other identifiable harms wherever records allow.\nRelease the completed 1940-2020 research for public review. Residents should be able to read the findings\, understand the evidence\, ask questions\, and identify gaps or areas requiring further examination.\nOpen a structured descendant testimony and evidence period. American Freedmen and descendants of people enslaved in the United States should have a clear\, consent-based way to submit family histories\, addresses\, property records\, photographs\, deeds\, oral histories\, business records\, employment histories\, and other evidence.\nConnect community testimony to professional research. Family testimony should help researchers identify missing records\, corroborate documented harms\, provide context\, and reveal impacts that may not appear in government files.\nComplete the economic analysis and connect documented harms to possible remedies. Once the historical and family records are assembled\, Boston can more clearly evaluate the scale and continuing effects of documented harms and organize remedy options for consideration.\nMove to public recommendations and an implementation timetable. The community should know when research ends\, when recommendations will be presented\, how the Mayor will respond\, and what the next steps toward implementation will be.\nCOMPLETE THE FACTUAL RECORD. BUILD THE DESCENDANT RECORD. CONNECT THE EVIDENCE TO THE HARM.\n\nINFORM THE REPAIR. \nCOMMUNITY GATHERING \nREPARATIONS NOW! Community Meeting\, Briefing & Organizing Session – Friday\, September 25\, 2026\, 6:00-7:30 PM\, in front of the Shaw-Dudley Library\, 149 Dudley Street\, Roxbury. Residents are encouraged to bring family names\, Boston addresses\, property information\, photographs\, records\, and the stories they know.

SUMMARY:What Every Christian Leaders Should Know about Christian Nationalism before the Election
DESCRIPTION:What Every Christian Leaders Should Know about Christian Nationalism before the Election: A Presentation and Discussion with the Western States Center and Massachusetts Council of Churches.\n\nOver the past few election cycles\, Christian nationalism has become a powerful force\, shaping discourse in American political life across school boards\, college campuses\, legislative races and more. Groups like Turning Point USA\, Proud Boys\, NSC-131\, among others\, have gained power and influence in local communities\, including churches\, in both explicit and subtle ways. As of this year\, nearly 1/3 of Americans identify as Christian Nationalists.\n\nHow can Christian leaders identify these various ideologies\, tactics\, and recruitment strategies in our communities? How do we respond effectively? As a corrupt ideology in support of authoritarianism\, Christian nationalism is not new in the United States \, but these current forces require us to learn the new ways they are being deployed.\n\nJoin the experts at the Western States Center and your hosts the Massachusetts Council of Churches as we learn together and discuss what can be done in our local settings. Our expert presenters will share how the tactics of Christian Nationalists manifested in not only faith organizing\, but in education\, elections\, and general community engagement. For the safety and security of our participants\, this online event will not be recorded\, and registration is required. Please join us as we strategize to spread Christ’s true message of love and unity for all.\n\nREGISTER HERE.

DESCRIPTION:If Christians would wholeheartedly embrace humility\, our witness in the world can be radically improved. Humility is often misunderstood\, overlooked\, or even disparaged. Such is the case today and was also true in the early days of the Jesus movement. However\, humility is part of Christ’s self-description (Matthew 11:29) and ought to be an identifier of his followers. Let’s recover Scripture’s presentation of humility\, dispel some myths about it\, and accept the invitation to live humbly. \nThe Dean’s Forum discussion is free and is open to the public. No RSVP required for those joining online. \nRegistration is only required for those planning to attend in person at Gordon-Conwell—Hamilton. Lunch will be provided for those attending in person. \nRegistration closes on Wednesday\, September 9 \nThe Dean’s Forum is hosted by the Academic Dean’s office. The event will take place in Alumni Hall in Kerr Building at the Hamilton campus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. It will be streamed live through Facebook and at www.gcts.edu/live.

SUMMARY:Global Leadership Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us at this summer’s Global Leadership Summit.\nHosted at both Grace Chapel & North River Church (August 6 & 7) \nThe Global Leadership Summit is one of the largest leadership conferences in the world. In this two-day event you’ll engage with other local leaders as you hear prominent experts from both the marketplace and ministry share their wisdom.  This will help you: \n-Become better leaders\n-Tackle leadership challenges\n-Refine strategy\n-Build a thriving culture. \nThe GLS is perfect for both individuals and teams who want to grow their leadership skills.  In 2025 over 350\,000 people attended in over 110 countries.  The GLS is run live from Willow Creek Church in Chicago\, and livestreamed to thousands of host sites worldwide including in the Boston area Grace Chapel in Lexington\, Watertown and Wilmington\, and North River Church in Pembroke.  For more info checkout www.GlobalLeadership.org/Summit\,  or contact Grace Chapel (www.Grace.Org/GLS) or North River Church (www.NorthRiverChurch.org) \n\nFrom Pastor Stephen Nyakairu:\n\nHere are just two testimonies from leaders who have attended the Summit through Grace Chapel:\n\n\n“As a police chief\, I am selective about how I invest my time and professional development resources. I initially questioned whether a leadership conference delivered through a local host site could provide the same value as attending in person\, but I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the speakers and the relevance of the content. Through Grace Chapel\, I experienced the Summit in a live host-site setting that created an engaging atmosphere and sense of connection\, making it feel as though we were part of a much larger event.\nThe Global Leadership Summit delivered practical leadership lessons\, diverse perspectives\, and a positive message that could be applied immediately within our organization. I found the experience so valuable that the following year I sent more than half a dozen members of my leadership team to attend.\nInvesting in the development of our people is one of the most important responsibilities of any leader\, and the Summit provides an outstanding opportunity to do just that. We intend to continue sending members of our department in the years ahead and would recommend the experience to leaders in public safety\, government\, business\, and nonprofit organizations alike.”\n—Justin M. Hanrahan\nChief of Police\, Watertown Police Department\n\n\n“As the CEO of a small business\, I was always on the outlook for time- and cost-effective ways to grow my team and invest in them personally and professionally. I found the Global Leadership Summit to be the perfect combination of both of these goals. I had my local team join me and asked others across the country to find a host site near them which meant no one had to travel to hear these world-class speakers. We had some fun and important conversations in the weeks following the event. And\, I also had each person buy a book from their favorite speaker and we used that as a future way to share across the team what we were learning and putting into practice to grow our business.”\nRegistration Link:\nhttps://brushfire.com/610280 \n\n\nEarly Ticket is $149 per person.\n\nEnter a quantity of 2 (registrations must be purchased in pairs to receive this promotion).\nComplete the required questions\, including organization information.\nRegister each attendee and enter their email address.\nEnter the promo code: FIRSTTIMEFRIEND\nProceed to checkout and confirm that the discount has been applied.\nEnter payment information and submit registration.\nEach registered attendee will receive an email confirmation with their ticket information.

SUMMARY:Join the Online Beloved Community Lab Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Monthly on Thursdays\, 10:00AM to 1:00PM | Starts October 1 | Application Due August 21 \n– Do you long for a depth of unity that honors our unique cultures\, backgrounds\, and experiences\, rather than ignoring them?-  \n– How do we follow Jesus’ call to love our neighbors – and our enemies – while holding fast to our deepest convictions? \n– Do you want to explore how our differences 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 and grow in learning how to lead your community in the peacemaking\, reconciling Way of Jesus?    \n– Do you have a longing to see the Church get beyond our fractured witness? \nIf these questions stir up something inside you\, then the Beloved Community Lab might be for you! \n\nA New Kind of Leadership for a 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 three-year journey of developing the Beloved Community Lab\, a unique opportunity for 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 participants into peacemakers and reconcilers\, growing into the life and way of Jesus. Read the story and fruit emerging behind about our pilot cohort here and a reflection by cohort alum Dr. Michael James. \nIf 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: Thursdays from 10:00AM to 1:00PM EST (Approx every three weeks) \nFORMAT: Zoom \nCOST: $600 to $1000 (Sliding scale) \nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: August 21\, 2026 \nWHO SHOULD APPLY:\nChristian leaders who value unity\, reconciliation\, and justice—and want to grow in living these out. We are seeking to convene a cohort community that come from a wide range of denominational\, theological\, racial/ethnic\, and generational backgrounds. This cohort in particular is designed for Christian leaders who are interested in bringing the Beloved Community Lab to their contexts and cities. \nClick here to see the Beloved Community Lab Cohort PDF to learn more about the vision\, dates\, core competencies\, and more. \n\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.  \nSome of the most transformational moments in life happen when we journey with others. Are you ready to walk the uniting\, reconciling way of Jesus—with courage\, compassion\, and community? \nApply by August 21 to join the pilot cohort. \nLet’s grow together as peacemakers in a fractured world.
