GROUNDING JUSTICE-MAKING IN FAITH
Faith & Justice-Making: Liberation Theology: A Biblical/Theological Grounding for Justice
Theologian Walter Wink writes, "In a world sinking into ever-deeper injustice and violence, Jesus offers an alternative to the Domination System that just cries out to be tried." Rev. Rich Gamble will lead us in a four-week class about this proposition set out in Wink's book, "The Powers That Be," and how we might enact it in our own lives.

Faith & Justice-Making: Practice of Nonviolence
At age 28, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the first successful large-scale application of nonviolent resistance in America- the Montgomery bus boycott that gave hope to millions for an end to segregation. This class unit takes us through King’s own account of this struggle as we read “Stride Toward Freedom.” Inspired in part by Gandhi, King interpreted nonviolent resistance as a call from courageous Christian faith. These classes invite discovering more understanding of agape love. Come to steep in the characteristics of living deeply rooted love in action. King said agape “recognizes the fact that all life is interrelated.” Portions of “A Force More Powerful” films will show nonviolent social movements. Explore with Rev. Lauren Cannon the theology, theory, and practical components of nonviolence as King describes them in the Montgomery story. Take inspiration for challenges in our daily lives, and social change work.
Tuesdays, April 7, 21, 28, & May 5, 6:30 potluck (free food for interns/service corps), 7:00-8:30 pm workshop. Location tentatively: The Collaboratory, 5623 Rainier Avenue
