SUMMARY:Revelation in Ecumenical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture series\, Rodney L. Petersen\, (PhD\, Princeton) along with Gerald L. Bray (PhD\, La Sorbonne) have co-edited and published the volume on the highly enigmatic and consequential Book of Revelation under InterVarsity Press. Sixteenth-century Reformers\, much like interpreters today\, show a diversity of opinion on how Revelation is to be understood\, whether through more spiritual and Last Judgment connotations\, or as a snapshot in historical context. Much like the vast social and political upheaval in the time of the Reformation\, we have called upon Rodney and his colleagues to remark upon Revelation in ecumenical perspectives today. Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM) and the Boston Theological Interreligious consortium (BTI)\, two of Rodney’s previous places of directorship\, are helping to put this conversation together with friends—at the Boston University Marsh Chapel on Thursday\, November 20\, 2025\, from 3-5pm—for an afternoon of retrospection and future revelation. (This will also be\, in a way\, an opening for AAR/SBL Boston\, which begins the next day.) Click here to purchase the book \nPROGRAM SUBJECT TO CHANGE \n\nWelcome: Dr. Stephanie Edwards (BTI) and Dean Robert Allan Hill (BU)\nBTI International Mission and Ecumenism reflections on the book: Dr. Meg Guider (BC) and Dr. Todd Johnson (GCTS)\nPractical implications: Rev. Dr. Casely Essamuah and Dr. George Walters-Sleyon\nThank you/closing prayer/last word: Rev. Dr. Rodney Petersen and Thomas W. Porter\, Jr.\, Esq.

SUMMARY:“Facing Our Racism: Becoming Conscious Partners”
DESCRIPTION:Register here (Registration ends at 11am on the day of\, and the Zoom link will be sent right after that.) \nThe killing of Daunte Wright\, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor galvanized White people to become “conscious partners” with our Black sisters and brothers to end racism. Crucial to this new understanding and awareness is the formation of genuine\, open\, truthful relationships between Black and White community members. You are invited to take part in a “Facing Our Racism: Becoming Conscious Partners” workshop which analyzes the systemic\, institutional\, policy\, and power-driven persecution and discrimination against Black Americans since the very beginning of slavery. The anniversary of George Floyd’s death reminds us that the work to combat racism is far from over. \nAbout the Facilitators \nDr. Connie Holmes\, EdD\, psychologist (ret.)\, counseled cancer patients and their families for 28 years in Boston and in the San Francisco Bay area. She is a member of the Diocesan Commission on Reparations of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts and Clerk of the Vestry of Good Shepherd Church in Watertown\, MA. She is available to conduct these workshops throughout the United States. Her great-grandfather perished in Theresienstadt\, a World War II concentration camp. Her exposure to the horrors of the Final Solution has motivated her to join the struggle for racial justice in the United States. \nDolores Moorehead\, MS\, APCC is the Lead Navigator/ Multi-Cultural Client Support Clinician at the Women’s Cancer Resource Center in Berkeley with over 30 years of experience that includes the American Cancer Society. She has worked with diverse populations including LGBTQIA+\, African Americans\, Latinos\, and Asian Pacific Islanders. She is committed to improving communication between doctors\, nurses\, and other medical professionals about the medical needs and access to care of diverse populations. \nTestimonials \nRev. Dr. David Killian: “Connie Holmes and Dolores Moorehead are superb facilitators to help us to ‘face our racism’ and dismantle embedded structures of racial inequality and oppression. Their work is transformative and life-changing for the participants and vitally needed in our society today.” \nBrenda Vaccaro\, Psy.D.: “As a psychologist and mental health innovator\, Dr. Holmes has forged and promoted therapeutic environments that prioritize social justice and heighten multicultural awareness. A tireless advocate for equitable access to support\, she has been a pioneer in acknowledging and addressing issues of oppression\, privilege\, and power. Her work reflects a deep commitment to redefining mental health services in a way that is more attuned and responsive to the race-based traumatic stress that burdens communities of color. Her approach empowers people to heal and to reclaim the path toward their best possible lives.” \nSponsors \nGrace Church in Newton\, St. Mary’s Church in Dorchester\, the Charles River Deanery\, Temple Shalom in Newton\, Temple Beth Zion in Brookline\, ten other congregations\, and Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM)\, the greater Boston area’s oldest interfaith social justice organization that has been fighting racism since 1966. \nFor more information\, please email info@coopmet.org and check out: http://www.coopmet.org

He served as its director for five years prior to answering the call of his community in January of 2000 to set up and develop the Paulist Office for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations. \n  \nDr. Basyouny Nehela holds an M.A. in Fundamentals of Religion\, and a Ph.D. with Honors in Da’wa and Islamic Culture\, both from Al-Azhar University.

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)
