SUMMARY:Hiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration Peace Witness at Pentagon (Aug. 6th) and White House (Aug. 9th) - Sponsored by the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker
DESCRIPTION:“Let all the souls here rest in peace\, for we shall not repeat the evil”. (Epitaph at bottom of the Hiroshima Peace Park Memorial Cenotaph and Peace Flame to remember all the victims of the atomic bombings)\n************************************** \nHiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration Peace Witness at Pentagon (Aug. 6th) and White House (Aug. 9th)\nWhen: Tuesday\, August 6\, 2024 (Anniversary of the U.S. Nuclear Bombing of Hiroshima) @ Pentagon 7-8 AM\n \nWhere: Pentagon Designated Protest Zone on the Southeast Side of Building (Take South exit from Pentagon Metro station–Walk a short distance on sidewalk toward South Parking Lot–vigil site is on left behind fencing)\n________________________________________\n \nWhen: Friday\, August 9 (Anniversary of the U.S. Nuclear Bombing of Nagasaki): Noon-1 PM\n \nWhere: Outside the White House on Pennsylvania Ave.(North side) \n \nSponsored by the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker\n\n \nNagasaki\, September 1945\nDear Friends\, \nTo commemorate the 79th anniversary of the sinful and criminal U.S. nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker\, in concert with other peacemakers from the DMV\, invites you to attend a prayer vigil/witness on Monday\, August 6th outside the Pentagon\, and on August 9th\, outside the White House. \nWe will remember and pray for the victims of these unspeakable nuclear atrocities and all those who witnessed the destructive power of nuclear weapons use\, testing and mining–hibakusha\, pacific islanders\, Native Americans\, downwinders\, and all other victims of nuclearism–and call for nuclear abolition. \nPope Francis has declared that the possession of nuclear weapons is immoral\, and 70 countries have now ratified the new UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) which entered into force on January 22\, 2021\, thereby making nuclear weapons illegal under International law. The nine nuclear-armed nations — the U.S.\, Russia\, United Kingdom\, France\, China\, Israel\, India\, Pakistan and North Korea — have not signed the treaty\, nor has any nation from the NATO alliance. \nOn January 24\, 2024\, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reset the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds before midnight\, the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been. This is due to the existential threats of nuclear war and the climate crisis\, bio- and cyber threats\, nuclear proliferation\, state-sponsored disinformation and Artificial Intelligence. The Ukraine war has further exacerbated the nuclear peril between the two foremost nuclear powers as both Russian and U.S. nuclear arsenals are now on high alert. \nOn June 17\, 2024\, ICAN released a report about global nuclear weapons spending in 2023 totaling over $91 billion. The United States’ share of total spending\, $51.5 billion\, is more than all the other nuclear-armed countries put together and accounts for 80% of the increase in nuclear weapons spending in 2023. The next biggest spender was China which spent $11.8 billion with Russia spending the third largest amount at $8.3 billion. \nhttps://www.icanw.org/global_nuclear_weapons_spending_surges_to_91_4_billion \n\nThe U.S. nuclear arsenal upgrade now underway is estimated to cost $1.7 trillion over the next several decades\, while poverty increases\, the climate crisis worsens\, and basic human needs go unmet. \nThe Navy has contracted with General Dynamics to build the Columbia class nuclear subs to replace the existing Trident fleet. Twelve Columbia class subs will cost over $120 billion and the first of these subs will be named the USS District of Columbia. This is sinful and criminal! As these exorbitant resources are spent on weapons of mass murder\, 90 people died without the dignity of home last year in D.C. \nIn case you didn’t hear about this\, the USS Florida Trident nuclear submarine\, now refitted with Tomahawk cruise missiles\, was deployed on November 5\, 2023 to the Middle East\, in support of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. On July 5\, 1982\, the Trident Nein carried out a plowshares action directed at the USS Florida at General Dynamics/EB in Groton\, CT—a witness I was blessed to be part of. We join our voice with all those urgently calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza\, an end to all U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel and U.S. complicity in the genocide\, forced starvation and ethnic cleansing in Gaza\, an end to the occupation of Palestine\, and for a just peace for Palestine and Israel. \nAs we call on the nation to repent for the nuclear sin\, abolish all nuclear weapons\, ratify the TPNW\, and redirect exorbitant military and nuclear expenditures to meet urgent human needs\, we do so in solidarity with actions taking place around the U.S. and worldwide. In the U.S. see: https://www.nuclearbantreaty.org/ \nThe Hibakusha plead to the world: “Humanity and nuclear weapons cannot co-exist.” \nMartin Luther King\, Jr. exhorts us: “The choice today is…either nonviolence or nonexistence.” \nPope Francis declares: “Nor can we fail to be genuinely concerned by the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental effects of any employment of nuclear devices. If we also take into account the risk of an accidental detonation as a result of error of any kind\, the threat of their use\, as well as their very possession\, is to be firmly condemned…The total elimination of nuclear weapons is…a moral and humanitarian imperative of our time.”  \n \nPlease join us and share this invitation with friends. \nFor more information contact: Art Laffin (artlaffin@hotmail.com)\n\nIn hope for a disarmed world\,\nArt

SUMMARY:RLC Book Club with Kaitlyn Schiess
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to have our dear friend Kaitlyn Schiess as the featured book club author for the month of August where we will be spotlighting her book\, “The Ballot and the Bible.” \nThe book asks: How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America’s history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? \nIn “The Ballot and the Bible” Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past\, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. \nSchiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help readers faithfully read Scripture\, talk with others about it\, and apply it to contemporary political issues–and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what readers should think about specific hot-button issues\, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power\, allegiance\, national identity\, and more. \nReaders will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence. \nKaitlyn Schiess of course needs no introduction. She is an author\, speaker\, and perpetual theology student. She is the author of The Ballot and the Bible (Brazos\, 2023) and The Liturgy of Politics (IVP\, 2020)\, and her writing has appeared in Christianity Today\, The New York Times\, Christ and Pop Culture\, RELEVANT\, and Sojourner. She is a co-host and Senior Editor of the Holy Post podcast\, and the host of Curiously\, Kaitlyn. She has a ThM in systematic theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and is currently a doctoral student in theology at Duke Divinity School. \nWe will be live on all of our socials. Register to join us on Zoom!\nFind us streaming live on Red Letter Christian’s Facebook\, Twitter\, or YouTube channels.
