Security and Faith. In this three-part series, host Rev. Tracy Howe, Team Leader and Minister for FaithINFO and seasoned organizer invites panelists to engage community security issues. We live in a world of increasing vulnerability, charged public rhetoric, and more and more guns. Local congregations are encountering threats to persons and property, from their local churches where buildings are being vandalized and pastors being threatened to the greater community where white Christian nationalists are demonstrating against drag shows and pride festivals. What does security mean from a Gospel perspective? What can we build together towards a safety for all?

Building off of Commuinty Safety for All, this Webinar brings us into the commitments the United Church of Christ has made over the years through General Synod Resolutions, from supporting movements for racial justice live Black Lives Matter to advocating for gun control, how should these things inform the decisions we make about local church security. Join Rev. Tracy Howe, Team Leader and Minister for FaithINFO at the National Setting and seasoned organizer, Katie Adams, Domestic Policy Advocate for the UCC Washington D.C. office, and Rev. Adam Erickson, pastor of Clackamas UCC in Clackamas, OR in a critical conversation on embodying our faith and collective justice commitments in the context of increasing threats and vulnerability of pastors and local churches.
