SUMMARY:PMR Anti-Poverty Fall Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:With Regional Minister for Justice\, Rev. Dr. Kendra Mitchell-Foster & First United (Vancouver)\nPMR Anti-Poverty Fall Webinar Series\nOctober 2\, 2024\n6:00pm – 7:30pm\nJoin us in September for a series of webinars focused on education around current issues and actions you can take in your community in preparation for the upcoming BC Provincial Election on October 19th\, 2024. \nOn October 2\, from 6:00 – 7:30 pm\, we will be hearing about two initiatives First United is championing to urge the election candidates to incorporate crucial elements in their campaigns and potential time in office: i) support for accessible housing and vacancy control in BC\, and ii) advocacy and action to ensure safe supply of drugs in BC to counter the public health crisis of toxic drug supply that results in an overwhelming morbidity and mortality burden for those in our communities exposed to contaminated drugs. \nJoin us to learn about the issues\, and what you can do in your own community to advocate for safety\, dignity\, and life for all of our siblings in BC and beyond. \nFirst United Initiatives \nFIRST UNITED has been on the frontlines\, serving the Downtown Eastside community for over 100 years. They are organizing a postcard writing campaign to mobilize communities across the province on housing and drug policy issues. Specifically\, they’re calling for each party to adopt positions supportive of vacancy control and safe supply of drugs. \nThey will be sending congregations packages of postcards with additional instructions and resources in early September and ask that you invite your congregants to participate in signing these postcards. A digital pledge sheet is also available. They hope to have over 2\,000 postcards returned from communities\, and will send them to each party in early October. \nCommunities of faith have incredible power when they mobilize\, and the United Church has a strong history of advocacy. FIRST UNITED hasn’t organized a campaign on this scale in a long time\, and sincerely hope you’ll join them in this important action. Advocacy on these issues will help prevent homelessness and help to end the toxic drug overdose crisis. More information will be available on their website firstunited.ca\, and sent to your congregation in September.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming 1946: An Online Evening of Dialogue\, Discernment and Dreaming in Technicolour
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming 1946: An Online Evening of Dialogue\, Discernment and Dreaming in Technicolour\nWith Pacific Mountain Regional Council\nMonday July 8\, 2024\nOnline via Zoom\nWhat if the word “homosexual” was never meant to be in the bible? This is the central question in the courageous\, timely and important documentary 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture. Many Communities of Faith have held screenings of the film\, it was featured in and Affirming Evening of the Arts at our past Pacific Mountain Region AGM\, and there are many more who are interested in the film and screening it in the future.  So\, we are calling all those who are interested to gather together for an evening of discussion and discernment on Zoom\, \nWe will be joined by special guests Rev. Blair Odney and Ed Oxford\, one of the main researchers from the 1946 project\, to listen to their stories and perspectives on the legacy of harm this mistranslation has perpetuated\, and hopeful ways forward wherein we might open ourselves to the transformative action of the Holy Spirit in co-creating and reclaiming faithful affirming spaces for 2SLGBTTQIA+ people in the church\, and in our communities. \nYou can find the registration link for this event here: Reclaiming 1946: An Evening of Dialogue.
