SUMMARY:Purple Church
DESCRIPTION:Purple Church\nThe United Church of Christ contains people with a wide spectrum of theological beliefs and political alignment. People who choose to be in a church that holds differences of opinion often do so with a few different strategies of love and conflict management. \nIn this conversation\, we will hear from leaders of Purple Churches\, or churches that have members across the theological/social/political lines\, about how they show up authentically with each other in the midst of difference. \n*Please note this session is pre-recorded.

SUMMARY:The State of Black Bodies in the US
DESCRIPTION:Dean Kelly Brown Douglas is Dean of the Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology at Union. She also serves as the Canon Theologian at the Washington National Cathedral and Theologian in Residence at Trinity Church Wall Street. \nHer groundbreaking and widely taught book Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective (1999) was the first to address the issue of homophobia within the black church community. Her latest book\, Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God (2015)\, examines the challenges of a “Stand Your Ground” culture for the black church. The publication of her next book\, “Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter\,” is forthcoming. \nJoin us as Dean Douglas invited us to consider the current state of Black liberation in this country and how we must contend with the myth of Anglo-Saxon Exceptionalism. \n*Please note this session is pre-recorded.

SUMMARY:Blue Christmas Service
DESCRIPTION:Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year—or is it? For many\, it echoes old griefs and illuminates the new. When so many things have changed this year\, we’ve lost people important to us\, and so many hold their hardest parts in isolation\, This Christmas will be so difficult for so many people. \nBlue Christmas is a service that holds the tension of the grief and difficulty of the season for many\, in tension and awareness of the societal messages that Christmas is a season of ONLY JOY—at the expense of all other feelings and circumstances. \nJesus’ mother Mary will be our guide for this journey as she reminds us of God’s presence in the midst of our suffering. Join us for a worship service “Mary’s Blue Christmas” hosted by the National Setting’s Thursday’s for the Soul in partnership with the Overdose and Drug Use Ministries as well as the UCC Mental Health Network. \n*Please note this session is pre-recorded.
