SUMMARY:Security and Faith: Faithfulness and Vulnerability
DESCRIPTION: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? \nSecurity and Faith Episode I: Faith and Vulnerability\, Imagining Community Safety for All We are living in times that call for prophetic imagination and a courageous willingness to “practice the world we wish to see\,” as Adrienne Maree Brown says in Emergent Strategy. These times also call for honest reflection on how racism and violence are entangled with policing and property security. Can we imagine safety for all and start to build community practices for preparedness? In this\, the first of three webinars on Security and Faith\, seasoned faith organizer and UCC Minister Rev. Anne Dunlap brings us through SURJ’s (Showing Up for Racial Justice) Community Safety for All toolkit. As local churches imagine safety\, we look to the Gospel to illuminate what security means\, and be bold and courageous in imagining safe communities for all people\, not just church properties.

SUMMARY:Security and Faith: Abolitionist Perspectives

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. \n
