“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me... to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners.” (Isaiah 61:1)
We are excited to invite you to the Isaiah 61 Summit, a gathering dedicated to equipping communities of faith to disrupt the violence of the incarceration system and walk alongside those impacted by it.
Date: February 20, 2025 11AM-5PM February 21-22, 2025 9AM-5PM
Location: Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Evanston, IL
This Summit brings together people of faith, justice advocates, and leaders to explore how we can embody God’s promise of liberation.
What to Expect: - Hear from individuals and congregations directly impacted by the carceral system, and from those engaged in reentry work and abolition efforts
- Practical workshops on how to transform your church into a community of radical welcome, and find your church's lane in the movement work of prison abolition.
- Meaningful worship and opportunities to connect with others passionate about justice and reconciliation.
Special Highlights Include: - Testimonies from Underground Ministries’ One Parish One Prisoner Program (OPOP).
- Reflections on faith, healing, and advocacy through the lens of Isaiah 61.
