SUMMARY:Setting the Table: Creating a Safe Space for Christian Women in Dialogue about the Future of our Nation and the Church
DESCRIPTION:As Christian women in this divided time\, we believe it is important to commune together through shared meals and to prayerfully listen to one another in order to ask what God is doing in this moment. How do we see this movement theologically and spiritually? It is through relationships with one another and the intentional building of mutual trust that opponents can become friends\, that we can speak to one another instead of past each other\, and that we can move forward together. \nThis event will include breakfast\, conversation at tables and a closing liturgy with Christian women leaders representing communities from a range of political perspectives. \nThis event is by invitation only as has a registration fee of $25. Please contact revivals@redletterchristians.org if you wish to attend.

SUMMARY:The Birthplace of Democracy: A Spiritual Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:Join with fellow co-conspirators on a pilgrimage through Philadelphia’s storied past. As part of the Red Letter Christians 2024 Philadelphia Revival\, this walking pilgrimage invites believers to trace the paths of those who stood for justice and embodied the love of Christ in the face of oppression and inequality. \nWith each stop\, we’ll pause to offer prayers and blessings\, led by voices committed to the Gospel’s call for justice\, peace\, and Becoming Beloved Community – right here and right now. We’ll visit sites where faith and action intertwined\, where the cries for freedom were lifted\, and where the seeds of a just society were planted. Along the way\, we’ll also highlight additional points of interest\, providing opportunities to delve deeper into the history and ongoing struggle for justice. \nThis pilgrimage is more than a journey through history; it is a call to action. As we reflect on the legacy of those who came before us\, we are reminded of the work still to be done. Together\, we will draw inspiration from the past to shape a future where Christ’s love stands against injustice\, where our faith compels us to act\, and where the vision of a just and peaceful world becomes a reality. \nJoin us as we hear these sacred stories affirming that Jesus and justice go hand-in-hand and commit ourselves to the work of building a society with love at its core. \nTentative Walking Pilgrimage Sites \n\nMeeting Point & Start of Pilgrimage: S Front St & Market St\nFront Street and Market Street where enslaved Africans were sold\nStatue of Tamaned (Lenape Chief) who engaged William Penn and other “settlers”/colonizers\nChrist Church\, site where several of the country’s worshiped\nBen Franklin’s House\nCongregation Mikveh Israel (Longest Running Synagogue in the U.S.)\nArch St. Quaker Meeting House\nSt. George Methodist Church\nNational Mint\nFree Quaker Meeting House\nFirst President’s Mansion where George Washington lived and owned enslaved people\nLiberty Bell\nIndependence Mall\nSansom Street Hall (Site of the 5th national Women’s Rights Convention) \nMother Bethel AME Church\n\n\nRegister Now
