Practicing Faith: Examining Our Public Commitment to Faith in Action in the Covid Era.

The social unrest and racial reckoning of the past year have inspired many to consider how faith ought to be lived in a public arena in the Covid era. As social distancing requirements ease, we have an opportunity to examine how we publicly practice our faith to stand in solidarity with those whom society marginalizes. We are pleased to welcome Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Service, Archdiocese of Boston, and the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor emeritus of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government to lead the Workshop, which will be held in-person at Saint Cecilia Parish Hall and virtually on Zoom.

Abiding in Beloved Community: The Cory Johnson Program through the Lens of Literary Imagination; a Talk by Rev. Liz Walker

Join us as we look at our Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing (CJP) trauma work through the lens of literary imagination. Activists, intellectuals and artists throughout contemporary history have eluded to the beloved community as a place and mindset of grace filled justice and reconciliation. Through the words of Dr. Martin Luther King and literary artists including the incomparable                  Tony Morrison, Reverend Liz Walker presents a meditation on CJP as the model of that beloved community, a groundbreaking antidote for these troubled times.

THE SEND – FEBRUARY 23, 2019 in ORLANDO, FL

We are calling 60,000 people on 2/23/2019 to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, FL for a tipping point gathering to help spark the greatest era of evangelism and missions in history. This free event is open to the public and will be a day of activation and training to go and live the gospel.

Outreaches across Orlando will precede and follow the stadium day giving people a practical opportunity to share their faith and minister to those in need. Online platforms will also be unveiled to help people find missions opportunities and engage with further evangelistic trainings and activities.

From The Send we are believing for each participant to commit to adopt one of four “Mission Fields” – Universities, High Schools, Neighborhoods or Nations, and to commit to a season of focused prayer for America and the nations. The vision is to see a national campaign launched catalyzing every believer into a lifestyle of Christ-like action.

Take part in this significant moment of U.S. history, along with:
-Reinhard Bonnke & Daniel Kolenda – Christ for All Nations
-Loren & Darlene Cunningham – Youth With A Mission
-Steve Douglass – Campus Crusade for Christ
-Francis Chan
-Claudio Freidzin – King of Kings Church
-Bill Johnson – Bethel Church
-Lou Engle – The Call
-Todd White – Power & Love
-Michael Koulianos – Jesus Image
