ECM’s Emergent Action Network Launch: Leaning Into Faith and Action In These Times

Tuesday, March 18, 6-7:30 pm

Click here to register for the zoom link

In the face of rising authoritarianism, it can be difficult to know which direction to look or how to focus. At the federal level, executive orders and other policy changes that present threats to our communities are coming in at an unprecedented pace, with the intention of creating chaos and paralysing resistance.

These times call on us to truly lean into our faith and the collective strength of our larger faith community, in solidarity with those most impacted by the threats and cuts.

Episcopal City Mission is excited to invite you to the zoom launch of our Emergent Action Network, where we aim to provide a hub for Episcopal Churches and people in MA combining accessible ways to take action, spiritual grounding and sustenance, and guidance from BIPOC-led grassroots initiatives.

Opening Reception for Grace: The History of Black Churches in Cambridge

The Cambridge Museum of History & Culture invites you to experience Grace: The History of Black Churches in Cambridge, an exhibition honoring Black History Month that shall be on display throughout February at the Kendall Public Lobby. Throughout this nation’s history, Black Churches have been a cornerstone of community, culture, and resilience, and this has certainly been the case in Cambridge. Black Churches have played an essential role not only in the spiritual lives of their congregants, but also serving as incubators for social justice, education, and community building. Grace strives to illuminate part of the rich history and contributions by highlighting just some of these enduring institutions, focusing on their collective, enduring legacy in our community. By showcasing the history of these important institutions, Grace aims to foster a deeper understanding of their significance in Cambridge's past, present, and future.

The Grace Exhibit is made possible by the generous work of community curators: Chandra Salvi Harrington, Deacon Cheryl Maynard, Dr. Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, Dr. Janie Ward, Dr. Kris Manjapra, Lynette Riley-Belle, Patricia Weems, Reverend Dr. Ellis I. Washington, Reverend Lorraine Thornhill, Sister Danita Callender, and Valerie Beaudrault, in fellowship with church congregations across the city. We would like to thank our generous sponsors for the tremendous support and incredible platform to connect, share, and learn: BXP, Cambridge Arts, The Cambridge Historical Commission, The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority, The Office of Mayor E. Denise Simmons, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

For more information about The Cambridge Museum of History & Culture, please visit us online at www.cambridgehistorymuseum.com or connect with us by phone at (617) 349-4327.

Fostering a Future with Leaders of Color Gathering

For Leaders of Color: Emerging Leaders, Clergy and Lay Leaders exploring ministry for our times, from Episcopal Dioceses in Province I (CT, NH, MA, ME, RI, VT, WMA)

Are you curious about how God is calling you to move more deeply into leadership in the church? Are you desiring a deeper connection with leaders of color in The Episcopal Church? If you’re curious about the variety of spaces where lay and ordained ministry is more deeply connected within the church, join us!

This is a day set apart, to draw together in community to listen to the gifts the Holy Spirit is giving for renewal, support, and hope. It is for those exploring a vocation in ministry as well as for those long in experience to share insights, deepen connections, and listen together for the “untried melody, to meet the need of the untried morrow.” (Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart)

There will be opportunities for shared stories from speakers as well as with one another in small groups (resources for Spanish and Creole possible). The day will also include worship and a meal together. The unfolding life of the Church in the Northeast, revealing the story of Jesus’ life among us, needs your voice and your presence.
