SUMMARY:Creation Justice Webinar: Portland Harbor Community Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Join EMO and Interfaith Power & Light (OIPL) for our first webinar on creation justice in Oregon! \nCaring for creation is intimately linked to racial justice\, and the public health and economic connections between air pollution\, the current pandemic\, and racial inequities are also staggering.

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.

SUMMARY:Say No to War: A Candlelight Prayer Vigil for Peace
DESCRIPTION:Our country is lurching closer to war. The values of faith we share call us to be peacemakers and live by faith\, not fear. However\, we have a President who is inciting violence on our border\, in our country\, and across the world. President Trump’s latest decision to recklessly assassinate the military commander of Iran will cause more violence and bloodshed in a region already facing endless wars. Read a statement from vigil organizers. \nToday\, January 6\, at 6 p.m.\, join us at All Saints Episcopal Church (4033 SE Woodstock Blvd. Portland) as others gather around the nation (even in front of the White House). We will gather as people of faith and goodwill to #PrayForPeace. We will hold a moment of silence for our world leaders and our siblings across our nation and world who live amidst violence.  \nWe must come together to pray for peace everywhere. The time is now for people of faith and goodwill to join together to denounce violence and embrace peace. \nWe hope you can join us on this evening.

SUMMARY:2019 Collins Summit\, "Listening at the Margins: Ancestral Wisdom\, Spiritual Resistance\, and Hope in Times of Trauma"
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SUMMIT\nExplore a method of listening at the margins of the global community and in our own lives in order to build resilience and resistance for these times. \nIn a world of increasing fear and violence\, how can we build networks of resistance rooted in our spiritual traditions? A third wave of liberation theology turns to the lived experience of people already facing global violence as a testimony of life in the face of death. These communities draw on emerging and ancient spiritualities that grow out of their contexts. They also share wisdom for our own spirituality. \nThe 2019 Collins Summit will be an opportunity to hear about and practice methods of listening that build strength for social justice work in our local communities. \nREGISTRATION\nSeminar\, Dinner & Lecture: $60 general\, $30 student with ID.\nEvening Lecture only: $25 general\, $15 student with ID. \nRegister Now \n\nGUEST SPEAKER\nThe speaker for the evening Collins Lecture will be Dr. Carlos Mendoza-Alvarez\, a Dominican priest and internationally known liberation theologian. His theological investigation illuminates the ancestral wisdom\, yearning for justice\, and hope that emerges from the resistance and resilience of the victims and survivors of global violence. Mendoza-Alvarez’s most recent work has examined what resurrection can mean in a context of thousands of disappeared and murdered in Mexico. \nPresenters will include The Rev. Dr. Cassie Trentaz (Warner Pacific University)\, Juan Carlos La Puente (Intercultural and Interreligious Mission – ELCA Oregon Synod)\, and The Rev. Dr. Sara Rosenau (Waverly United Church of Christ). The faith leaders have been working to support leaders and institutions in how to root their efforts for justice and peace in a relational culture that fosters community dialogue and discernment in communion with the forces of Life coming from the margins as a source of compassion and collective resistance. They have been working with Dr. Mendoza-Alvarez in an intercultural initiative called Spiritual and Theological Mutual Accompaniment that started in 2016. \n\nSCHEDULE\nSeminar (download event program)\n12 – 1 p.m. Registration | Check-in (Sanctuary)\n1 – 2:15 p.m. Welcome | Plenary Session\n2:30 – 4 p.m. Listening & Dialogue Session: Breakout sessions include stories from the margins and dialogue with faith and social justice leaders.\n> Immigration Justice (with Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice)\n> Environmental Justice (with EcoFaith Recovery)\n> Justice for the Houseless (Leven community Housing Coalition)\n> Transforming Institutions for Justice (with institutional leaders from the Oregon Synod ELCA and Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church)\n4:15 – 5:15 p.m. Plenary Session\n5:30 p.m. Dinner (Seminar/Lecture registrants only) \nCollins Lecture (Sanctuary)\n6 – 7 p.m. Registration | Check-in\n7 – 9:15 p.m. Lecture | Dialogue | Q & A \n\nPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & PARKING\nThere is limited parking at First United Methodist Church.

SUMMARY:Criminal Justice Sabbath 2019
DESCRIPTION:Join people of faith across Oregon – and beyond – in holding a Criminal Justice Sabbath on the weekend of July 12-14\, 2019.\nIf you can’t join in on that weekend\, host a Criminal Justice Sabbath any day – and let us know when you do\, at cosa@emoregon.org! \nCriminal Justice Sabbath is a time for faith communities to lift up ways the justice system impacts us all. It is a day of worship dedicated to hearing the stories of those impacted directly by the justice system\, and to consider our shared responsibility to help healing take place. It is a day to make connections between our faith traditions and the current legal system we are part of. \nIn our religious communities\, we realize that the labels used by the justice system (“victim\,” “offender\,” “inmate\,” etc.) do not fully capture our experiences as humans. Our communities have crime survivors and perpetrators of crime; they have family members of the incarcerated and staff who work in corrections and the courts. On Criminal Justice Sabbath\, we remember the unique stories of how people experience the legal system – while recognizing that we are all one community\, together. \nVisit EMO’s Criminal Justice Ministries page to download the Criminal Justice Sabbath Worship Guide 2019 for worship\, preaching\, adult education and action for a Criminal Justice Sabbath in your community. \nCriminal Justice Sabbath resources are available as a project of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. If you have suggestions for worship or educational resources for future Criminal Justice Sabbath guides\, especially resources from your own religious tradition\, please let us know. \n

SUMMARY:Hearing the Cries 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hearing the Cries for Justice is a regional summit to equip people of faith and goodwill to support their neighbors impacted by the legal system. This one-and-a-half day event will bring together “experts” in the field—including those with lived experience\, alongside professionals—to share opportunities for people of faith to help change hearts\, minds and society itself. Over a series of summits held in different corners of the state—starting in Eugene—we will connect people locally to build up the movement for justice. \nOn Friday evening\, a screening of the documentary film “Thirteenth” by Ava duVernay will be held at First United Methodist Church\, followed by discussion. This event is open to the public and included in your registration for the summit. \nOn Saturday\, our focus will be equipping faith communities for the work of serving people impacted by the justice system. Two tracks of emphasis will offer training in prison reentry mentorship and public policy advocacy. There will also be ample time for networking among faith communities already serving this population. \nTogether\, we will shape a vision where Oregon’s faith communities are called to engage with the justice system and those impacted by it.

SUMMARY:World AIDS Day Fundraiser Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon’s HIV Services for our annual World AIDS Day Fundraiser Luncheon. This is an opportunity for us to honor and celebrate those in our community who live with HIV/AIDS\, and those who support the work we do at our HIV Day Center and Daily Bread Express. \nMany of the HIV Day Center’s most compelling and meaningful moments happen over a shared meal–and so we invite you to join us for a meal\, sponsored by and held at our neighboring Concordia University. Partners and supporters both new and old will have the chance to hear where this past year has taken HIV Services and where we are headed in 2019. We welcome all to this opportunity to give vital financial support to a beloved community resource. \nThere is no charge to attend the event\, but reservations are requested\, and donations will be gratefully accepted.  \nReserve Now
