SUMMARY:Reading Into the New Year: Dismantling White Christian Supremacy
DESCRIPTION:In this next installment of Reading Into the New Year\, we’ll be in conversation that confronts traditional theology which serves to justify white Christian supremacy.

SUMMARY:Learning from the MARCH: Sharing Session with Minnesota Clergy Organizers
DESCRIPTION:Nationwide\, we have all been witnesses to the remarkable organizing and action Minnesotans have been engaged in for over 8 weeks as ICE and CBP have infiltrated their neighborhoods and their lives\, resulting in the deaths of two allies\, Renee Good and Alex Pretti\, who were trying to protect their neighbors. As thousands of families are separated from the surge in ICE/CBP operations there are reports of increased ICE/CBP shootings across the country while 32 people died in ICE Custody in 2025. \nOver 600 interfaith clergy attended a call from organizations in Minneapolis last week to come share in education\, trainings\, and on the ground solidarity. And the sharing continues. Join us to hear from UCC clergy from the epicenter of the organizing and beyond\, as they share their experiences and offer ideas for community and church preparedness across the country.

SUMMARY:Racializing Black Women: Equity\, Exceptionalism\, and Sustaining Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Black women are often praised for strength\, resilience\, and endurance\, but rarely given space to name the cost. This workshop examines how racism functions as a system of power rather than individual bias\, and how Black women\, including Black trans and queer women\, experience its impacts in work\, leadership\, relationships\, and movement. \nTogether\, we will explore how the demand for exceptionalism emerges as a survival strategy within racialized systems\, and how it leads to burnout\, disconnection from the body\, and conditional belonging. Participants will be invited to reflect on the ways faith communities may unintentionally reinforce these expectations through theology\, leadership culture\, and justice work. \nGrounded in spiritual practice and collective care\, the workshop closes by reclaiming rest as resistance understood as small\, intentional acts of pause and presence that refuse disposability\, restore agency\, and re-center sacred worth\, even as violence\, occupation\, and struggle persist.

SUMMARY:Reading Into the New Year: The Story of Bob - a Trailblazer in Faith and LGBTQ+ Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the pursuit of living “more fully and authentically” is a quest that crosses terrains of social influences and self-image\, intersecting with political strains for liberation and well-being. As authoritarianism swells its censorship of LGBTQ stories\, “The Story of Bob” remembers the work of resistance against similar terrains strewn with legal landmines that restricted who could be fully themselves\, and how\, and where. During our webinar\, we’ll learn more about the limits of faith in helping Bob cope with personal loneliness\, desire and the impact of fear on his capacity to love and explore/wonder why the Christian landscape is as unpredictable as any other social construct of life\, including family.
