Upcoming Events
Meet the Author, Bill McKibben, Tuesday, March 9,
7:30 p.m. (College of St. Scholastica) and
First United
Methodist
Church
8:30 a.m.
Bill McKibben is the author of 12 books, including his powerful and provocative manifesto, Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future, McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. The book makes the compelling case for moving beyond “growth” as the paramount economic ideal and pursuing prosperity in a more local direction, with regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. Our purchases need not be at odds with the things we truly value, and the more we nurture the essential humanity of our economy, the more we will recapture our own.
Lenten Musicale Sunday, March 21, 2 p.m.
Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC), Day on the Hill, “Justice We Pursue” Thursday, March 25
As people of faith, we are challenged by our faith traditions to be advocates for the welfare of our neighbor. Rabbi Harold J. Kravitz is the keynote speaker as the JRLC Day on the Hill begins at the River Center in downtown St. Paul. After briefing sessions to learn about particular issues at the Capitol regarding poverty, health care, judicial fairness, housing, and taxation, we will go to the Capitol to engage our legislators about these issues.
Lay Leader Extravaganza
The keynote presenter is Pastor Stephen
Bouman, former bishop of the Metropolitan New York Synod, who served in that
role during the time of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Presiding Bishop
Mark Hanson describes Bouman: “He has a
passion to proclaim Christ, make disciples and build up the church for the
sake of the world.”
Registration
