After our three previous forums on Eucharist, we'll meet in the community room to reflect and share on how sharing in the Eucharist changes and challenges you. How does it support and equip you to live out your faith the other six days of the week?

Additional reflections on the Eucharist with Rev. Dr. Matta Ghaly.

In Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to Harm, author Kazu Haga blazingly reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice and shows that a principled approach to nonviolence is the way to transform not only unjust systems but broken relationships. Facilitation of this group will be shared by group members.

This book study will read and discuss The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery by Sarah Augustine. Led by Pastor Janet Parker and Scott Shurtleff jointly for Spirit of Grace and EcoFaith Recovery, we will unpack the ongoing harm done by the Doctrine of Discovery — a set of fifteenth-century papal bulls that gave European monarchs the legal right to seize lands they "discovered" and enslave the Indigenous people they found there, all in the name of Christ. Augustine issues a powerful call to address the root causes of a religious, legal, and political legacy that continues to devastate Indigenous peoples around the globe and our planetary ecology.
