Now, perhaps more than ever, our culture needs people who are radically welcoming of others and themselves. Join us as we integrate the gospel call to love our neighbors as ourselves and Nonviolent Communication. This Lenten journey is designed to support people of faith and conscience in living the radical hospitality of Jesus, so needed in these times. Together, we will learn and practice radical hospitality, a rooted receptivity to all that is alive in ourselves and in others.
The six-week journey offers a chance to learn and grow in skills essential for all our relationships. We will draw on the powerful skills of Nonviolent Communication, developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.

Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
We live in a time when antisemitism is ascendant in the United States and throughout the world. This dovetails with the rise of other forms of bigotry and hate, making our society less safe for various marginalized groups. It is vital, therefore, that our religious communities stand against antisemitism and other forms of oppression.
The Newton Interfaith Leaders Association and The Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership of Hebrew College present a new opportunity for learning and fellowship for teams of Christian clergy, youth leaders, and lay leaders.
Over the course of the spring, we will come together for three workshops on the dynamics of modern American antisemitism and intersecting forms of prejudice.
Fellows will receive seed funding for related projects in their communities of worship and/or in partnership with other area congregations/organizations.
We invite you to join us as a key partner in this crucial work in our community.
