Maundy Thursday - Agape supper:
April 17
7 pm
5019 Keystone Place North, Seattle, 98103
Join- as we share an evening of ritual, song, supper, and fellowship. We will have a candlelit meal, hand washing, and remembering the last days and Last Supper Jesus had with disciples. Maundy means commandment, as demonstrated in the great commitment to love as God loves. Jesus's example to serve and love one another is our focus. We exchange stories from scripture and each other as we consider both suffering, and liberation and freedom. Pacific northwest salmon is our centerpiece, as we recall the symbol of fish, the Greek ichthus, that marked followers of Jesus. Desert and conversation, and singing a plenty. Communion in the round. Come as you are! contact: lauren.cannon@keystoneseattle.org |

National news spotlight on efforts of our Justice Leadership Program interns and partners: organizing for those in need of a living wageCongratulations Keystone UCC members & friends- we took a big risk to build this program. Every bit and kind of support has made it grow. And made it possible to celebrate now with Jenn and Briana being recognized and highlighted this week across the UCC. Our Pacific Northwest Conference UCC works closely with our national UCC in Cleveland, and folks recently met and determined the wider church would want to learn what we have been busy with here! Each time you help our interns expand the work of justice in the world- we all stand for many more to benefit. Our interns have been advocating for those most in need of the basics to raise their families in Seattle. All glory to God! Link to UCC news story: "Young Adults Work to Establish a Living Wage in Seattle"April 2, 2014 Congrats Jenn, Briana, Church Council of Greater Seattle, Plymouth Church UCC, Keystone UCC, All Pilgrims Christian Church, Pacific Northwest Conference UCC, and all our partners and supporters in the JLP!

Resisting Structural Evil:
Love as Ecological-Economic Vocation
Interactive discussion of this new book by Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, PhD Christian Ethics, who is Associate Professor, Theology & Religious Studies, and Environmental Studies at Seattle University. Connecting economic equity, earth care, and social values, Moe-Lobeda develops an "earth-honoring, justice-seeking Christian ethical stance." Cornel West says, "This is a grand prophetic book motivated by love and focused on... social justice, ecological justice, and dignity for 'the least of these.' Don't miss it!"
We are so pleased to be joined by this author and friend of JLP for the third class. And to be led in discussion by another colleague Freddie Helmiere, who teaches at Seattle U and U of Washington, and was research associate to Moe-Lobeda on the book for two years (see bio below)!

Richard Rohr, OFM
Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. He is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province and founder of the Center forAction and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fr. Richard's teaching is grounded in the Franciscan alternative orthodoxy—practices of contemplation and lived kenosis (self-emptying), expressing itself in radical compassion, particularly for the socially marginalized.
CAC is home to the Rohr Institute where Fr. Richard is academic Dean of the Living School for Action and Contemplation. Drawing upon Christianity's place within the Perennial Tradition, the mission of the Rohr Institute is to produce compassionate and powerfully learned individuals who will work for positive change in the world based on awareness of our common union with God and all beings. |
