Finally, he concluded his educational preparation at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA, where he earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology in 2012. His dissertation, Saving Possibilities, offered a contemporary perspective on salvation, evil, and the Holy Spirit by uniting the insights of various liberation theologies and performance theory.

For those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.”

Environmental and Racial Justice on the Ballot: A Voter Education Event
2022-09-17 10:00 - 12:00
Environmental and Racial Justice on the Ballot: A Voter Education Event will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 10 to noon. It’s free and open to the public.
Every two years, California voters are asked to participate in the legislative process by voting on ballot propositions. Unlike legislators, we don’t have a team of paid research assistants.
This online event, hosted by University Lutheran Chapel, is designed to help you vote on ballot propositions with greater confidence. Chapel members have done what research we could, as well as reaching out to policymakers and analysts, starting with the community organizations to which we already have ties.
In keeping with the Chapel’s social justice focus, the recommendations presenters are offering focus on the potential environmental and racial justice impacts of state, Berkeley, and Oakland propositions. When possible, we will also try to give guidance on how you can more confidently evaluate propositions in the future.

Rise and Vote
2022-08-31 12:00 - 14:00
The midterms are fast approaching. Whatever the issue, ballot initiative, etc. voter turnout is critical to create the change our families are seeking. As you know, our goal in the Rise and Vote program is to: 1) increase voting among BIPOC and low-income families; 2) build a bloc of pro-working family faith voters; and 3) develop civic leaders through relational organizing who are engaged year-round in legislative and ballot campaigns to advance voting rights, housing, criminal justice and immigration reform, raise wages and benefits for low-wage workers, and move the country toward clean energy.

On Wednesday, August 31 Rise and Vote is holding a special two-hour call to review all things related to Faith in Action’s voter engagement program including:

· Overview of FINAL Faith in Action’s 8 week plan and partnership with federations;
· NEW Coaching: Bring your plan and staff will review and give feedback
· Overview of toolkits and resources for federations
· August actions and echo events;
· NEW Training #2: Managing a Voter Program (50 Minute training for all persons working on voter engagement)

This meeting is for directors, organizers, clergy, data leads, voting leads and super leaders leading teams for voter engagement. We highly recommend all staff join.

When: August 31, 2022, 3pm EST, 12pm PST
