SUMMARY:Day of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:On Juneteenth this year\, many people gathered in person or online to bear witness to the death by lynching of Alonzo Tucker in Coos Bay\, Ore.\, in 1902. In partnership with the Oregon Remembrance Project and the Equal Justice Initiative\, this act of public remembrance called on people of faith to reckon with the racist legacy we inherit in the Pacific Northwest\, and the ways in which that legacy continues to live in on in subtle and blatant ways up until the present day. \nBut the larger work of truth\, repair and reconciliation continues. In this spirit\, we invite you to a state wide “Day of Remembrance” on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, 2021. Sept. 18\, 1902\, was the day of Alonzo Tucker’s lynching\, and we invite you to acknowledge this anniversary by joining us the following day to honor Alonzo Tucker’s memory through a renewed commitment to justice. \nWe invite you to participate in the following ways: \n\n\n\nFocus your worship service that weekend on the racist legacy we inherit in Oregon and the ways in which your community can acknowledge and reckon with that legacy in your local context.\nInvite people of faith in your community networks to join us online from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, for a special “Liturgy of Remembrance.”\nConsider joining us for an informational session from 7:30 to  8:30 p.m. on Sunday\, Sept. 19\, on the upcoming “Reckoning with Racism” Learning and Discernment cohort. This new iteration of Common Table’s “Reckoning with Racism” is open to faith community teams who participated in last year’s cohort and new teams who have never engaged in this work before. All that’s required is a group of at least four committed volunteers from your faith community\, denominational body or organization. For more information contact our team at commontable@emoregon.org.\n\n\n\nYou can also email commontable@emoregon.org to RSVP for #2 & #3 above\, or to let us know if you plan on hosting a special service that weekend. We’d love to collect sermons\, liturgies\, art projects and/or other special reflections around this focus to share with others. \nWe live in a time when our history is actively being erased and re-written by some segments of our society\, and all acts of remembrance are acts of resistance.

SUMMARY:Treaty People Gathering: Stop Line 3 Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:EMO’s Oregon Interfaith Power & Light is helping organize an interfaith delegation to Minnesota June 5–8 for the Treaty People Gathering to stop the Line 3 pipeline. The pipeline crosses Anishinaabe land and would transport tar sands to market. \nWe rise together for treaties. We rise together for climate. We rise together for our water. We rise together for one another. As Enbridge builds Line 3 through Anishinaabe treaty land and the Mississippi Headwaters\, we continue to stand strong in our resistance. We will gather in Northern Minnesota to put our bodies on the line\, to stop construction and tell the world that the days of tar sands pipelines are over. \nLearn more and register at treatypeoplegathering.com.

SUMMARY:Kiss the Ground (film discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 51st anniversary of Earth Day by watching the new film Kiss the Ground and discussing how to put its teachings about regenerative agriculture into practice in Oregon. People of faith all over the country are watching this film during April\, generously available for free through Interfaith Power & Light. As the film shows\, regenerating the world’s soils has the potential to rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate\, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. The transition can restore our sense of hope while rehabilitating the planet. \nIn Oregon\, Havurah Shalom\, Ecofaith Recovery\, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon\, and Oregon Interfaith Power & Light are partnering to host a discussion about Kiss the Ground. In addition to the opportunity to dialogue about the film\, we will hold a panel discussion with those working toward regenerative agriculture in a variety of contexts in Oregon. The panel will include Kristin Ohlson\, an Oregonian who was included in the film and who authored The Soil Will Save Us; Teague Cullen\, an Oregon farmer from Sherrett Food Forest; and Jennilee Porch\, who will share about a program called Carbon Gardens through the EcoFaith Community Carbon initiative. Michael Perman will share about certifications and other tools available based on the Kiss the Ground film. \nStream the film between now and April 25\, then attend a Zoom discussion on Sunday\, April 25\, from 4 to 6 p.m. Kiss the Ground is available free starting April 10 from our friends at Interfaith Power & Light or anytime on Netflix. \nLinks to watch the film and attend the April 25 discussion will be sent when you register.

SUMMARY:2020 Collins Summit: Shalom in Divided Times
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret we are living in unprecedented and divided times. Racial unrest\, political tensions and COVID-19 have impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. What do shalom and unity look like in 2020? Shalom is a Hebrew word that means wholeness\, harmony and peace. It’s a complex idea\, often oversimplified\, similar to the way “unity” becomes a euphemism for sameness. \nThrough a virtual format\, we will explore these racial\, political and social divisions\, asking how we bring our whole selves to the table and stay engaged in light of our differences\, not in spite of them. \nThe Summit will include a lecture from Lisa Sharon Harper\, a live Q&A\, and the opportunity to hear from members of the Common Table and their important work. \n  \nFEATURING \nLisa Sharon Harper\nA prolific speaker\, writer and activist\, Ms. Harper is the founder and president of FreedomRoad.us. She is one of today’s leading voices on the topics of poverty\, racial and gender justice\, and transformational civic engagement. Learn more. \nThe Common Table\nAn Oregon-wide collection of interfaith leaders who have committed to learning more about one another\, trusting one another and standing together—even in the midst of real differences. Learn from this groundbreaking effort to cultivate shalom and create real unity. Learn more. \n  \nONLINE FORMAT\nWatch on your computer\, phone\, tablet or smart TV.\n7 to 8:30 p.m.\, Wednesday\, Nov. 18\, 2020.\nRegistration fee: $10 (scholarships available). \n  \nABOUT THE COLLINS SUMMIT\nSince 1967\, the Collins Summit (previously the Collins Lecture) has explored the intersection of faith\, ethics and public life. This has been a signature event of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and its predecessor organization\, the Portland Council of Churches. The event is funded in part by the Collins Foundation. \n  \nCOSPONSORS\nCosponsors to date include: American Friends Service Committee; Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Oregon & SW Idaho; Episcopal Diocese of Oregon; Heritage Bank; The Rev. Susan M. Kintner; Muslim Educational Trust; Neil Kelly Co.; Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church; Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary; Sunriver Christian Fellowship; Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church. \nIf your organization or faith community would like be a cosponsor of the Collins Summit\, please fill out the Sponsorship Agreement Form.

SUMMARY:Creation Justice Webinar 6: CreatureKind
DESCRIPTION:Care for creation intersects with racial justice and the health of the soil\, water and air. This work looks unique in different parts of the state based on the people who live there\, ways the land has been used\, and species and landscape elements present in each region. We will learn about some of Oregon’s environmental justice concerns and the organizations working on them through a series of six webinars this summer and fall. \nThe sixth webinar will feature representatives from CreatureKind. Their mission is to encourage Christians to recognize faith-based reasons for caring about the wellbeing of fellow animal creatures used for food\, and to take practical action in response. Their core message is that we are CreatureKind together with other animals\, and ought to be CreatureKind in how we treat them. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Hearing the Cries: Healing Injustice
DESCRIPTION:Hearing the Cries: Healing Injustice brings a holistic lens to being in relationship with our justice-involved neighbors: helping people of faith and goodwill\, in the words of Bryan Stevenson\, “get proximate” with those members of our society who have lived experience of the justice system. We hope to frame participants’ understanding of the “issue” of criminal justice as a matter of faith in action. \nAs people of faith\, we know that our communities bring together people beyond the labels placed on us by the justice system and wider society. We are more than victims\, offenders or community members—we may be all three—and our congregations may include all of us. But the ways the justice system brings people together—and keeps them separate—are different from the ways that a faith community brings people together. How are we to live together as a community? How do we resolve the inherent conflict in this existence as one body of many distinct members? \nSpecifically\, we seek to empower community in Restorative Justice\, stepping up to the responsibilities it has to those in the roles of “offender” and “victim\,” and taking accountability for the harms society has perpetrated and perpetuated. These harms include those created by a justice system that distances people from their neighbors and adds layers of harm instead of resolving conflict in a just way. \nWe recognize a theology of interconnection and interdependence. Our need for one another\, in mutually beneficial and healing relationships\, happens to be at the core of pro-social thinking\, as well. We also recognize the interconnection of criminal justice issues with public health concerns\, homelessness and housing inaccessibility\, human trafficking\, trauma\, recovery\, immigration\, and more. We are one community of many members facing diverse but interrelated challenges\, holding within us unique seeds of hope and resilience—and with one\, shared future. \nSCHEDULE\nFriday\, March 6:\n5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Screening & Discussion of film; open to the public and included in event registration.\nSaturday\, March 7\n9 a.m. Welcome | Keynote Panel\n10:45 a.m. Morning Workshop Session\nParticipants will choose one track for their focus: “Prison Reentry Support: How every congregation can be a welcoming congregation” or “Public Policy Advocacy: Toward a smarter\, public health approach rooted in restorative justice”\n12:15 p.m. Lunch provided\n1:15 p.m. Afternoon Workshop Session\n3:15 p.m. Closing Keynote Plenary\n4 p.m. Benediction and Sending \nOnline registration is closed\, but you may register at the door on the day of the event.
