SUMMARY:[Northern Illinois] Rainbows\, Resistance\, and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Rainbows\, Resistance and Reconciliation (R3)\n\nA Celebration of our Intersectional Pride \nIn the month of our 11th Anniversary as a \nReconciling Ministry Network (RMN) Congregation \nBlack History Month \nFirst United Methodist Church of Evanston \nSaturday/Sunday\, February 15-16th\, 2025 \nREGISTER HERE\nGrace Imathiu\, Senior Pastor \nBritt Cox\, Executive Pastor \n\nFirst United Methodist Church in Evanston is celebrating its 11th anniversary as a Reconciling Congregation that seeks justice and dignity for all LGBTQIA+ persons.  We invite the reconciling/welcoming communities and prospective congregations in the UM Northern IL Conference and Evanston to gather for a Convocation to revisit our commitment\, encourage and support one another\, and move into the future with pride in these changing and challenging times. \n\nIn this event we seek to: \n\nProvide opportunities for healing and hope:  Build Community\nVision faithful movement forward. Strategize about what people and churches need for this work.\nIdentify ambassadors for LGBTQIA+ justice and advocacy (as RMN names them)\nAddress issues facing us now like ongoing prejudice and the many hateful laws restricting gender affirming care.\nStrategize to take action against violence inflicted on members of the community\,\, especially transgender folk\nAddress issues of mental health as relates to homophobic Christian teachings and societal attitudes and seek to reduce high suicide rates (ie mental health )\nEmbrace Queer folk who because of cultural structural context (color) may still feel a need  to be closeted\n\nChrist calls us to welcome all\, especially those on the margins\, and creates inclusive communities based on love and justice. Intersectionality is key in our commitment to be reconciling; we seek justice in all communities. \nOur United Methodist church has been an important center for spiritual convocations for over 100 years (see our history\, below). We are member of the Northern Illinois Conference\,  a diverse UM Conference\, rural and urban\, with 54 Reconciling Ministry Network (RMN) congregations plus 4 RMN Communities and  5 campus ministries.   While our congregation is one of many Reconciling and welcoming congregations in Evanston\, we were one of the early members of the RMN fellowship since its inception. LGBTQIA+ persons are in all of our United Methodist  communities representing many identities including:  nationalities\, races\, backgrounds\, languages\, educational attainment\, economic conditions\, abilities\, genders and sexual orientations.

SUMMARY:Whom Shall I Send? [Welcoming LGBTQ+ Clergy Candidates]
DESCRIPTION:The doors of The United Methodist Church have just opened a little further. This is a kairos moment. As United Methodists: who do we now choose to be? \nThe Church voted to do away with mandatory discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. In name\, we’ve removed barriers against ordination for called and qualified LGBTQ+ clergy candidates. Now\, we must live out that commitment to a fairer\, more equitable process. \nReconciling Ministries Network invites you and your annual conference’s Board of Ordained Ministries\, District Committee\, and Cabinet to a 1.5-hour virtual training to equip you for more equitable consideration of LGBTQ+ clergy candidates. \nYou’ll come away from this training with: \n\nConcrete steps to improve your AC’s structure and interview process\nAn up-to-date understanding of LGBTQ+ language and terminology\nA deeper investigation of gracious engagement across theological lines\, examination of policies and procedures\, and more.\n\nThis training will be led by RMN board and staff and by knowledgeable United Methodist experts on policy\, procedure\, and theology. \n* * * \nFor over 40 years\, Reconciling Ministries Network has been committed to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection\, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church. \nLearn more about what RMN does in this video\, or visit our website.

SUMMARY:The 2024 Morgan Forum @ Candler School of Theology\, Atlanta\, GA
DESCRIPTION:Bible. Started in 2023\, in connection with Pitts Theology Library’s establishment of the J. Michael Morgan English Bible & Psalmody Collection\, this annual event brings together biblical scholars\, translators\, collectors\, and the general public to consider the impact of the Bible on the church and culture and to learn from one of the world’s premier collections of English Bibles. \n“When Translation Really Matters: Momentous Decisions in the History of the English Bible”\nThis year’s Morgan Forum highlights the significance of translation choices. When faced with the hundreds of English Bible translations available\, some may ask\, “Does it really matter which one I choose?” This event seeks to answer that question with a strong affirmative by exploring some major decisions made by translators over the five centuries of English Bibles documented by the Morgan Collection. The centerpiece of the event is a screening of the critically acclaimed 2022 documentary 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture\, followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker\, local church leaders\, and faculty from Candler and Columbia Theological Seminary. The day will also include updates on the Morgan Collection and presentations from the 2024 Morgan Research Fellows. \nRegister here: https://candler.emory.edu/about-candler/events/register-for-the-morgan-forum/ \nFor more information\, visit here: https://candler.emory.edu/about-candler/events/the-morgan-forum/

SUMMARY:Convocation 2023: Onward to Perfection
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we kick off the celebration of RMN’s 40th anniversary and gather in person for the first time since 2020! \n\n\n\nJohn Wesley encouraged Methodists toward perfection in the lifelong pursuit of love. Love looks like affirmation in the face of persecution\, like kinship in the face of isolation\, and like courage in the face of despair. It is in that spirit that we’re gathering on October 13-15 at First United Methodist Church in Charlotte\, NC. \nPre-Convocation workshops will be offered on October 12th\, and post-Convo workshops will be offered on October 16th. \nThis year\, we kick off the celebration of 40 years as a movement and a people purposed for justice. We invite you to join us in Charlotte to reflect on our history and boldly claim the future of the Church for all God’s children. There’s work to do\, and there’s joy to share. And we want to do it all with you.

SUMMARY:Rally in Tallahassee for LGBTQ+ Justice
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow Alliance at Christ Church United Methodist in Fort Lauderdale\, FL\, invites you to join them in Tallahassee\, FL\, for a rally for LGBTQ+ justice on Saturday\, January 21\, from 9am-12pm. \n“The purpose of the Rally is to demonstrate mass visibility\, and to voice concern over legislation and executive actions that have made hundreds of thousands of folks of historically disenfranchised identities feel threatened\, unprotected\, and erased by government. We aim to remind our elected representatives that government of\, by\, and for the people must be responsive to the people. \n“Imagine what a showing from faith-based groups would demonstrate to both the LGBTQ+ community and those who would condemn us. Please join us. \n“At present\, our application to demonstrate on State Capitol grounds has been approved. We encourage groups to organize their own transportation to Tallahassee as we do not currently have any significant pool of funds – this is a grassroots initiative. Ultimately\, we hope to encourage and realize a national showing as Florida can be thought of as “ground zero” in that it is a place where ignorant\, biased & divisive legislation and policies are being passed which challenge concepts of civil society & dehumanize us.” \nTo register\, email: rtk212@gmail.com \nOrganizing partners include Equality Florida\, Pridelines\, SOJOURN\, Broward for Progress\, FL National Organization for Women\, PRISM\, FL Freedom to Read Project & AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
