SisterTemples: Testimonies of the Body from Where We Stand

 Fourth Tuesdays @ 8-9PM EST via video conference

A learning/preaching circle devoted to our stories of women’s bodies- incarnate, crucified, and resurrected. Sexuality, Colorism/Racism, Labor, Occupation, and Reproductive Justice are among possible topics. Transwomen, women of color, and women with disabilities are especially invited to participate. Whoever you are, you’re welcome!

Fully Broken, Fully Healed: Building Accessible Justice Movements and Communities
 

Third Thursdays @ 8-9PM EST via video conference
 

Members will meditate on liberating theologies for people living with disabilities, learn about the history and legal context of access in faith/justice communities, witness/share personal testimonies. What would awareness, accountability, and solidarity look like between people living with disabilities and allies? We’re determined to find out!

Poplar Tree Meetings: Examining the Strange Fruit of White Privilege (BETA)
A Support Group for White Folks

A “BETA” version support group and training that’s rough around the edges- just like us! Join in on a community of mutual support for reflection, prayer, and study on white privilege. Study resources, share personal stories, hear from speakers, and become equipped with ministerial tools for uprooting white privilege!
