Imagine! God's Earth and People Restored Compassion, Peace and Justice Training Days April 7-9 | Virtual Event Click here to for more information and to register!   Join us to learn, organize and advocate around environmental justice!  Compassion, Peace and Justice Training Days offer an opportunity to support this global movement centered on and led by the people and communities most vulnerable to climate impacts due to historic racial and colonial inequities. We continue to see how the historic reality of colonialism and structural racism has designed systems that live on today through environmental racism and a myriad of other injustices that grew out of the same evil roots. Throughout 2020, these systemic issues manifested themselves in the disproportionate number of racial and ethnic minorities who became sick with and died of COVID-19, as well as the continued extrajudicial killing of Black men and women. The Earth and its people are groaning. We are called to respond. Featured Speakers The Rev. Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes, a theologian, liturgist, artist and activist who is the Associate Professor of Worship at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.    Harry Pickens, an award-winning performing artist, educator, composer, author, workshop facilitator and life transformation coach in Louisville, Kentucky.   Plenary Leaders Denise Anderson, a teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), former co-Moderator of the General Assembly, and coordinator for racial and intercultural justice with the Presbyterian Mission Agency.    Dr. Mark Douglas, Professor of Christian Ethics at Columbia Theological Seminary, currently researching and writing at the intersection of environmental issues and conflict studies.   CPJ Days will feature Claudio Carvalhaes and Harry Pickens.  Plenaries will be led by Denise Anderson and Mark Douglas with our partners from the most impacted communities in the United States and around the globe. We will have several sessions to delve deep into the issues of the day as well as address our current brokenness and how we lay the groundwork for justice and reconciliation.  Click here to Register for CPJ Days    Ecumenical Advocacy Days — April 18–21 A little over a week later, join the larger faith community for Ecumenical Advocacy Days.
