SUMMARY:Challenging Christian Zionism - Episode 1
DESCRIPTION:The 216th General Assembly (2004) approved the “active opposition” by the Presbyterian Church (USA)\, “to Christian Zionism and the development of a plan to communicate the theological and political ramifications it engenders within our denomination\, in the mass media\, and among U.S. government officials.”  20 years later\, in 2024\, our Palestinian partners are calling us to challenge a theology that reinforces and supports occupation\, annexation and apartheid.  This first webinar in a new series on the topic will introduce the theology that contributes to the violence Palestinians experience on a daily basis and explore its connection to a settler colonial project that is having devastating consequences on the Palestinian people\, including the Christian communities that have lived on the land for two millennia. This webinar is moderated by Cynthia Holder Rich and will feature panelists Munther Isaac\, Marietta Macy and Brant Rosen. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yybfOGziT5e0DFq4aE-peQ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots Webinar: The Long-Term Effects of Military Presence on Local Communities  Leaders of the Vieques Women’s Alliance share the challenges at this Puerto Rican municipality island 20 years after the closure of a military practice base
DESCRIPTION:The municipality island of Vieques\, located in the southeastern region of the Puerto Rican archipelago\, has faced many challenges in the last decades. During the 90s\, the island hosted a military base for live-fire bombing practices. Since its establishment\, local communities protested against it\, but it wasn’t until 2000 that a surge of local\, national and international leaders joined protests calling to cease base operations.  Since hurricane Maria in 2017\, Vieques has no hospital and offers only a community clinic with a dialysis treatment trailer for a population of about 10\,000. For more specific medical treatment\, “Viequenses” need to fly or take a ferry to Isla Grande.  There is no Presbyterian presence in Vieques\, although through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and its response to hurricane Maria\, partnerships have developed.  Last March\, during a Travel Study Seminar led by the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program and PDA\, the group was able to visit Vieques and meet with the leadership of the Alianza de Mujeres Viequenses to learn about the current context of Vieques in terms of economy\, health\, transportation and land rights\, while also sharing signs of hope.

SUMMARY:Matthew 25 eradicating systemic poverty workshop on community organizing and advocacy
DESCRIPTION:This online workshop will cover concepts of community organizing\, movement building\, and public policy/corporate policy advocacy as vital models for tackling root causes of poverty. We will have a speaker from a local Congregation Based Community Organization (CBCO) on community organizing\, someone from the Office of Public Witness to address policy advocacy\, and we hope someone from Poor People’s Campaign or another strong movement to talk about how to build people’s power and movements. We hope to also have someone from a presbytery that’s used elements of these models “in real life”/”on the gound” to participate.

SUMMARY:Matthew 25 eradicating systemic poverty workshop on measuring impact
DESCRIPTION:We know the shifts we need to make personally\, corporately and systematically in order to end poverty. How do we know if our work to end poverty does in fact contribute towards the systemic and structural changes needed to truly do so? What are the critical elements of measuring our impact that help us to look at big picture questions? Andrew Kang Bartlett of the Presbyterian Hunger Program will introduce “Whole Measures\,” a tool that can be used to qualitatively assess efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty in communities. Respondents will include staff from Self-Development of People and World Mission.
