Dr. Catherine Meeks, founder and director of the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing, is releasing a new book, "The Night Is Long but Light Comes in the Morning: Meditations on Racial Healing". Dr. Meeks is a visionary, leading Christians to think about racial justice and healing as first and foremost an act of discipleship, central to our call to follow Jesus and his way of love. Dr. Meeks has worked with ECMN as we discern and form our own racial healing curriculum. You are strongly encouraged to add this book to your Christmas purchases. You can hear more from Dr. Meeks by watching this video of her presentation at last summer's BISHOPx Forum. On Thursday, December 8 at 5:30pm Central, join Dr. Meeks, the Absalom Jones Center, and other supporters to celebrate Dr. Catherne Meeks' book. Winner of the President Joseph R. Biden Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr. Catherine Meeks is the Executive Director of the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing in Atlanta, GA. The event will feature prolific leaders from across the Church as we come together to look inward and reflect on the meaning of social justice and what it means to love one another. Register here. |

Second Thursdays, 12pm | On Zoom All Minnesota Episcopalians are invited to join PercoLAYte, the new monthly gathering for lay congregants. As leaders of your communities, you are particularly encouraged to attend. Beginning December 8th and running through June 2023, we'll meet monthly to "steep" ourselves in the lay order of ministry, Each month, we'll explore a new aspect of what the prayer book and our baptismal vows call us to and what that ministry looks like in our faith communities and in our daily lives. We know that weekdays at noon don't work for everyone, so we'll also be recording these sessions and posting them on the ECMN Discipleship page, as well as sharing them in the ECMN weekly news.
