SUMMARY:UCC Webinar: The Future of Faith
DESCRIPTION:In a world marked by fragmentation and fear\, young people of faith are not retreating—they are rising. They are drawing on sacred teachings to respond with courage\, creativity\, and compassion\, becoming bridge-builders in divided societies. Through dialogue and mutual learning\, we will highlight how interreligious solidarity can be a powerful force for healing\, justice\, and hope. Join two dynamic multi-faith young leaders to learn how young people are deepening or returning to their faith in response to the profound challenges of our time. This program is an invitation to envision a future where diverse faith traditions collaborate to cultivate collective dignity\, love\, kindness\, and respect\, building a better world for all of G-d’s (Allah’s) creation. \nSo many of us are living in the most divided times we’ve known collectively. Between fascism\, genocide\, war\, famine\, environmental collapse\, and uncertainty about our relationships and what we are called to be in such a time – we find ourselves deepening or returning to our faith. This series is curated to help us learn from the thought leaders who are exploring these themes and is an invitation to come into a dreaming space where all of G-d’s creation can be cared for – a space where we can know that collective dignity\, love\, kindness\, and respect is honored and how our different perspectives of faith can build up a better world! \nThe event is happening via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Six Principles and Six Steps for Kingian Nonviolence
DESCRIPTION:Six principles and six steps provide a framework for Dr. King’s philosophy and practice of nonviolence. In his first book\, “Stride Toward Freedom” he described these principles as a way of life and a frame of mind from which you can live and work. They are the core of what it means to believe in and be nonviolent. This framework is a powerful\, love-centered standard of values and can serve as a decision-making guide for those who choose to adopt them. The six steps for nonviolent social change are drawn from Dr. Kings nonviolent campaigns and teachings that emphasize love in action. The steps together provide a process for problem solving and direct action that is informed and guided by the six principles. These steps are practical and strategic and can bring reason and form to any discovery process and work protocol.  This program is facilitated by Shane Lee of the Nonviolence Institute. \nDuring this 3-hour workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn the six principles and six steps.\nPractice explaining and giving examples for each.\nExplore and challenge their relevance in today’s world.\nImagine ways to practically apply them in their personal and professional life.\nConsider how the implications of them would affect organizational policy and culture.\n\nThis program will be held online via Zoom. \nSaturday\, July 26\, 2025\n9 am – 12:30 pm \nRegistration deadline: July 23\, 2025 \nClick here to learn more and register!

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Life of Silas Soule: Reading His Letters on His Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Dr. Nancy Niero has just published her first book\, Witness at Sand Creek\, The Life and Letters of Silas Soule and has three upcoming Denver events this month bringing community together to celebrate this important work.\n\nPlease join Dr. Niero at the annual reading of Silas Soule’s letters read at the grave on his birthday at Riverside Cemetery\, July 26 at 10 am. “Celebrating the Life of Silas Soule: Reading His Letters on His Birthday” includes reading 25 letters he wrote from 1860-1865. Silas is buried in the Grand Army of the Republic block of graves\, near the light rail line on the east side of the cemetery. Bring a chair and listen to the letters of this witness at Sand Creek Massacre who disobeyed orders\, and watched the Massacre where 250 Cheyenne and Arapaho elders\, women\, and children were murdered by Colorado soldiers under the command of Methodist minister John Chivington on November 29\, 1864. This event is not appropriate for all ages as words of violence will be spoken.\n\nA book reading and signing will follow later in the day on July 26\, at Salem UCC\, 5300 E. Florida Ave.\, Denver beginning at 3:30 with a community singalong featuring freedom songs from the civil rights movement. The book reading featuring favorite letters will begin at 4pm.

Its complex history is part of the ongoing work of the Iliff Reckoning Study Group where both scholars serve.\n\nFor information on these events\, contact Dr. Niero at nancy@anointjourney.com

SUMMARY:UCC Webinar: Service of Appreciation for Federal Environmental Justice Staff and Grantees
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event happening via Zoom.

Selected environmental justice staff will provide messages\, along with environmental justice pioneers including: \n• Charles Lee\, retired Senior Policy Advisor for Environmental Justice at EPA \n• Richard Moore\, former Co-Chair of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council \n• Dollie Burwell\, leader of Warren County\, North Carolina protests \n• Rev. Benjamin Chavis\, Jr.\, former director of United Church of Christ Commission for Racial Justice \nThe service will be led by the Rev. Terry Yasuko Ogawa\, Area Conference Minister\, SNEUCC and former UCC Dr. Charles E. Cobb Environmental Justice Resident. If you are unable to make the service at the scheduled time\, a link to the recording will be sent to all those who register.
