SUMMARY:Monthly Morning Prayer: Special October MMP with friends from Common Hymnal
DESCRIPTION:Malcolm du Plessis describes himself as the Prince of Random\, based on his zigzag history and his penchant for risk taking. He has straddled the worlds of religion and showbiz for over forty years: from songwriter to song publisher; from human rights activist to church planter; from artist manager to record company exec; from mentor to undeveloped talent to consultant to record labels\, publishing companies and movements; from aggregator of a musical movement that fused praise and protest in the apartheid era of his native South Africa to instigating a similar endeavor in his new South Africa\, the US\, several decades later. He has had a footprint in the ‘mainstream’ but identifies primarily as an underground activist with a passion to dismantle colonial hierarchies in all of their various shapes and forms. Common Hymnal\, his most recent undertaking\, centers life\, justice and underground spirituality\, and mirrors his eclectic DNA. \nA virtual hymnbook stocked with forward-facing content from the spiritual underground\, Common Hymnal is an online platform that was established five years ago as an outlet for creatives on the outermost margins of the Christian faith. One of the consequences of the dramatic shifts in culture in recent years is the displacement of a generation of gifted artists and thinkers who are writing songs and telling stories that do not fit the religious industrial complex. In making a home for these people\, Common Hymnal has been able to curate an intriguing catalog of music that centers life\, justice and underground spirituality\, covering a wide range of subject matter in a broad range of styles. As such\, Common Hymnal has recorded and released a fresh collection of songs each year since its inception. All the while\, the clamor for this music to be brought into live spaces has been on the increase. The ecosystem is full of dynamic performers\, and different combos of artists are traveling out to do shows on a regular basis. Because of the intentionality of the lyrics\, the project has gained significant traction in the justice movement. The aspiration is to become more and more a part of the zeitgeist of the culture at large. \n \nMonthly Morning Prayer follows the liturgy from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals and is open to all. \n\n October 1\, 2025 9 AM ET Live on all Red Letter Christians social media platforms + Zoom!

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Roy Ward in Indiana
DESCRIPTION:An execution date has been set for Indiana death row prisoner Roy Ward on October 10\, 2025 for the 2001 murder of Stacy Payne. \n\nWhile the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions\, Indiana is out of step with national trends.  In late 2024\, Indiana performed its 1st execution in 15 years\, and continues to schedule more execution dates. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Braun to do everything within his power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

SUMMARY:Stop the Execution of Lance Shockley in Missouri
DESCRIPTION:Lance Shockley is scheduled for execution in Missouri on October 14\, 2025 for the 2005 murder of Carl Graham Jr.\n \nWe believe in accountability\, but true accountability does not require execution. A sentence of life without the possibility of parole protects society while also recognizing the human capacity for redemption and the role of childhood trauma in shaping adult behavior. \nMissouri does not need the death penalty to be safe. This execution will not make us safer\, it will simply add another act of violence to an already tragic story. Justice does not require death. Missouri’s continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions. \nPlease sign the petition asking Governor Mike Parson to do everything within his power to stop this execution\, including issuing a stay\, and seeking a path to clemency in the case. \nPetitions will be delivered on your behalf in the days leading up to the execution.

SUMMARY:RLC October Book Club: Rev. Dr. Drew G. I. Hart - "Making It Plain: Why We Need Anabaptism and the Black Church"
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars!Our next book club features our friend — the Rev. Dr. Drew G. I. Hart\, associate professor of theology at Messiah University and co-host of Inverse Podcast. Drew is also known for his books Trouble I’ve Seen and Who Will Be A Witness? and his work leading Thriving Together: Congregations for Racial Justice.His newest book\, Making It Plain: Why We Need Anabaptism and the Black Church\, is a prophetic call to confront the deep legacy of white Christian supremacy and recover a liberating faith rooted in Jesus. Drew shows how the radical discipleship of Anabaptism and the prophetic tradition of the Black Church offer a Spirit-filled\, justice-seeking path forward — one that resists empire and white Christian nationalism while centering the vulnerable and embodying God’s liberation and peace. \nIf you long for a faith that challenges oppression and nurtures true community\, this conversation is for you!
