Fall 2012
The Fall 2012 issue of StillSpeaking magazine is an examination of hope rising like a phoenix from the ashes of despair or devastation. In this issue are stories of churches renewed –– like Beneficent UCC in Providence, R.I., and St. John’s UCC in St. Louis. You’ll also discover people and places breaking new ground and finding new paths, people who’ve made a difference in their church and in the world: the Rev. Everett Parker who, at 100, continues to be an advocate for women and persons of color in broadcast media; the Rev. Shari Prestemon and Back Bay Mission, as it continues to return from Katrina; the Rev. Ken Samuel and Victory UCC, redefining itself according to God’s call, and many more.
Spring 2012
This Spring/Summer 2012 issue of StillSpeaking magazine brings you a compelling mix of stories and photos about “the least of these”—a selected look from a UCC perspective, including a message from General Minister and President Geoffrey Black, at contemporary people, places, and issues that recall Jesus’ words: “As you did it to the least of these . . . you did it to me.”
Featured in this issue are: “LGBT Lifeline,” the story of a Massachusetts church and its ministry with LGBT people seeking asylum in the U.S., “In Egypt: Giving Thanks to God and Garbage,” a fascinating look at the people and economy of Menshayat Nasr, Cairo’s “Garbage City,” along with a photo essay on immigration from the American Southwest, a profile of a successful church/arts program in Philadelphia, and much more.
