SUMMARY:Vote For Love for Victims of Violence
DESCRIPTION:It’s revival time.\nOn the four nights before the presidential election on November 5th\, Red Letter Christians is hosting our final Red Letter Revival of this year to create a space for Christians who want to see love and justice at the center of our policies. Instead of solely condemning the way our faith is being manipulated for political gain this election season\, we’re “practicing something better\,” as our friend Richard Rohr says.  There’s that old saying “Be the change you want to see in the world”… and we’re committed to being the change we want to see in the Church. \nAnd we need YOU. \nOne of the promises of Scripture is this – “perfect love casteth out fear.”  We are standing on that promise\, and raising the questions – \n\n\nWhat would our country look like if love rather than fear was shaping our policies?\nWhat does it look like to love our neighbor as ourselves?\nWhat does that mean on immigration? Guns? Militarism? Poverty? Criminal justice? And more?\nWhat does love look like in public?\nHow does loving my neighbor shape the way I think about policies that affect their lives?\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll challenge the way Christianity is often distorted and co-opted for political agendas that do not center Jesus and the needs of the poor and vulnerable\, those Christ called “the least of these.” \nMark your calendar for these powerful\, life-giving events taking place on November 1st\, 2nd\, 3rd\, and 4th\, starting at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT.  We’ll be broadcasting LIVE on all our platforms\, and you won’t want to miss it!  \nFeaturing:\n\n\nRev. Dr. Munther Isaac\, Academic Dean\, Bethlehem Bible College; Christ at the Checkpoint Conference Director\n\n\nBen Cohen\, Co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream\n\n\nRev. Sharon Risher\, Author\, Speaker\, Pastor\, Gun Violence Prevention activist\n\n\nIn conversation with Shane Claiborne\nMusic by Propaganda\nREGISTER NOW\n*** These events are free and open to the public with an optional donation.

SUMMARY:Vote for Love for Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The Urgency of Immigration Advocacy:  Communities\, Prisons\, Borders and the Body of Christ\nCo-sponsor: Nootbaar Institute on Law\, Religion and Ethics\, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law \nExpert guests will explore the multifaceted nature of our country’s immigration crisis – both how it is deeply rooted in local communities at the border\, and how these local injustices fit into a broken\, inhumane national immigration system urgently needing reform in a world where 120 million people have been forcibly displaced. \nSpeakers will challenge attendees to consider how the church can more meaningfully respond to the Gospel’s clarion call to welcome the stranger. The speakers will also highlight the urgent need to care for immigrants within the prison system\, many of whom are unjustly detained and face compounded trauma. \nAs fellow Christians\, the advocates will call on the church to step into these spaces\, offering both practical support and a prophetic witness that reflects the radical hospitality of the Gospel. Participants will be asked to grapple with how race\, class\, and systems of oppression intersect with the immigration crisis. This panel will challenge the church to reimagine its role in standing with the stranger\, the prisoner\, and the most marginalized in our society. \nModerator:\nJennifer Lee Koh\, Associate Professor of Law & Co-Director of the Nootbaar Institute on Law\, Religion and Ethics\, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nGuerline Jozef\, Co-Founder & Executive Director\, Haitian Bridge Alliance\n\n\nTin Nguyen\, Program Director\, Decarcerate Orange County\n\n\nKimberly Serrano – director for the Center of Inclusion and Belonging at the American Immigration Council\n\n\n\n\n*** These events are free and open to the public with an optional donation.

SUMMARY:RLC Book Club with Khristi Lauren Adams
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to have Khristi Lauren Adams as our November Book Club guest; she’ll be in conversation with Susan Wood to discuss her book\, “Womanish Theology: Discovering God through the Lens of Black Girlhood.” \nAbout the Book:\nKhristi Lauren Adams’s faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl-learning about Scripture from her grandmother\, Mama Hattie; “playing church” with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. \nIn Womanish Theology\, Adams reflects on those experiences\, inviting readers to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. \nThis groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish\, as a play on womanist (the theology of Black womanhood). “Womanish\,” remembers Adams\, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture\, theodicy\, salvation\, prayer\, neighborly love\, and the image of God. \nThrough this journey\, readers will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls. \nAbout the Author:\nKhristi Lauren Adams is a speaker\, author\, youth advocate and ordained Baptist minister. Khristi is the author of Parable of the Brown Girl which is published by Fortress Press. The book highlights the cultural and spiritual truths that emerge from the lives of young black girls. Parable of the Brown Girl has received awards for Best Young Adult Book from The African American Literary Awards and the New York Black Librarians Caucus. \nHer second book\, Unbossed: How Black Girls Are Leading the Way was released in the Spring of 2022 with Broadleaf Books. A middle grade version of the book titled Black Girls Unbossed: Young World Changers Leading the Way was also released with Beaming Books. Unbossed was a 2023 runner up for the Los Angeles Book Festival and Black Girls Unbossed is a 2023 finalist for a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year award in the Juvenile Nonfiction category. \nKhristi is the Executive Director of Community and Belonging for the St. Paul’s School’s\, a family of independent schools in Baltimore County\, MD. She previously worked as Dean of Spiritual Life & Equity and instructor of Religious Studies at the Hill School. She is the former Founder & Director of “The Becoming Conference”\, an annual conference and leadership cohort designed to empower\, educate & inspire girls between the ages of 13-18. \nKhristi is a graduate of Temple University with a degree in Advertising and a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary where she obtained a Master of Divinity degree. She is a 2017 graduate of “Lead New Jersey”\, a select group of thought-leaders from the public\, social\, and private sectors of NJ and the surrounding communities. She also currently serves as a mentor for The Garden Initiative for Black Women’s Religious Activism\, a nine-month peer-to-peer and intergenerational mentorship program for black women leaders across religious traditions in the United States. \nKhristi is also a 2024 Alumni Service Awardee for Princeton Seminary which highlights the outstanding efforts of alumni who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to advancing the seminary’s mission and values. \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.
