SUMMARY:A Pilgrimage to the Chartres Labyrinth: Presentation\, discussion and guided meditation
DESCRIPTION:The Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth in France is the best persevered medieval labyrinth of the 80 labyrinths built in 11th and 12th century Europe. Pilgrimage was very important in medieval Europe and Chartres was a major stop for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Pilgrimage is again popular in our time as a way to find guidance\, inner connection and meaning in our lives. The meandering labyrinth is an ideal place for reflection and meditation. \nPlease join Patricia Newton (labyrinth facilitator\, member of the Trinity Labyrinth Guild and Labyrinth Network Northwest) for a free presentation about her recent pilgrimage to Chartres and a discussion of labyrinths and pilgrimage. There will be a guided meditation and quiet time for you to consider the pilgrimages in your own life. \nThe beautiful Trinity Chartres style labyrinth in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral’s Kempton Hall will be open for a personal reflective pre-election day walk from 11 a.m. until 1:45 p.m. prior to the presentation. \n

SUMMARY:A Labor of Love: Facing the Challenges of Caregiving for a Spouse or Intimate Partner
DESCRIPTION:It’s one thing to promise faithfulness in sickness and in health\, but the reality of caring for a spouse with chronic or terminal illness can feel like too much to bear. It’s not just that the physical demands take such a toll. Fear\, anxiety\, confusion\, disappointment\, uncertainty\, sadness\, and anger can sap emotional strength and undermine spiritual foundations. Layer in grief\, guilt\, shame\, underlying relational issues\, or outside stressors\, and even the most committed caregiver can be overwhelmed. This workshop offers hope and help. Presenter Nancie Potter\, JD\, LMFT\, will address these issues and more with warmth\, expertise\, and understanding. Bring your questions! \nTo register\, call (503) 253-0964\, or register online at www.nwcounseloing.org/services/workshops.

SUMMARY:Forum on Income Inequality: How does this happen?
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US AS WE SCREEN ROBERT REICH’S DOCUMENTARY “SAVING CAPITALISM.” \nAmerica was once celebrated for and defined by its large and prosperous middle class. Now\, this middle class is shrinking and the country faces its greatest wealth disparity in eighty years. Why is the economic system that made America strong suddenly failing us\, and how can it be fixed? \nWe will watch a video produced and starring Robert Reich\, economist\, professor\, and former Secretary of Labor. Reich presents a paradigm-shifting\, examination of a political and economic status quo that no longer serves the people. Then Daniel Hauser from the Oregon Center for Public Policy will present information on Oregon’s own income disparities and the policies contributing to it. Following will be a discussion about what we’ve learned\, and what people of faith can do to address income inequality. \nThe free forum is a collaboration by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon\, Oregon Coalition of Christian Voices\, Interfaith Alliance on Poverty\, and Portland Jobs with Justice Faith-Labor Committee.

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion\, "Rikers: An American Jail"
DESCRIPTION:The United States is facing a crisis of mass incarceration with over 2.2 million people packed into its jails and prisons. To understand the human toll of this crisis\, Rikers Island is a good place to start. Of the more than 7\,500 people detained at Rikers Island on any given day\, almost 80% have not yet been found guilty or innocent of the charges they face. All are at risk in the pervasive culture of violence that forces people to come to terms with what they must do for their own survival. Rikers: An American Jail\, a riveting new award-winning documentary from Bill Moyers\, brings you face to face with men and women who have endured incarceration at Rikers Island. \nHosted by Ending the New Jim Crow (a Social Action Group of First Unitarian). \nFree event; donations welcomed.
