SUMMARY:"We Advocate Freedom!" Teach-In Series | Session 5 (Part I)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an impactful session of the “We Advocate Freedom!” Teach-In Series\, hosted by Iliff President\, Dr. Lee H. Butler\, Jr.\, as we welcome Dr. Rami Nashashibi for a compelling discussion on Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement by renowned activist and scholar\, Angela Davis. This is part one of a two part conversation. Save the date for December 4 at 6pm when Presiedent Butler will discuss the same book with Rabbi Joe Black. \nAngela Davis’s Freedom is a Constant Struggle challenges us to examine connections between global movements for justice and the shared struggles for freedom and human rights. This text initiates a generative dialogue for understanding systemic oppression\, resistance\, and solidarity across borders. \nOur guest\, Dr. Rami Nashashibi\, brings a wealth of insight to this discussion. Dr. Nashashibi is a MacArthur Fellow and the founder of the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN)\, an organization dedicated to healing and justice on Chicago’s South Side and Atlanta’s west end. Known for his bridge-building efforts across racial\, religious\, and socioeconomic lines\, Dr. Nashashibi has made a profound impact on community organizing and social transformation. He also brings an artistic perspective as a musician and advocate for initiatives like Cariol’s Law\, a police accountability measure in Buffalo\, NY. Together\, we’ll explore themes of resilience\, solidarity\, and collective action\, as Dr. Nashashibi and President Butler examine the pressing questions raised in Davis’s work. This teach-in will be a hybrid event\, with options to join in person at Iliff or remotely via Zoom. \nSession 5: (Part 1) Book Discussion: Angela Davis\, Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement \nNovember 7\, 2024 6:00 pm MST – Refreshments & Registration at Iliff / Zoom room opens 6:30-8:00 pm MST – Teach-in Facilitator: Lee Butler Guest Speaker:  Rami Nashashibi \nIn-person at Iliff and on Zoom \nCan’t attend in person? Register to join on Zoom! \nDon’t miss this chance to engage in a conversation that transcends boundaries and addresses the foundations of movement-building and justice in today’s world.

SUMMARY:November Renewal | Looking into The Future: The Future of The United Methodist Church
DESCRIPTION:What does the future look like for organized religion? This question has weighed on the minds of people around the world for years\, and for many of us at Iliff\, it has narrowed specifically to the future of The United Methodist Church. Even while we celebrate the incredible steps forward made at this year’s General Conference and the installation of a new Bishop in the Mountain Sky Conference (MSC)\, we wonder what tomorrow will hold for our congregations. \nFor our November Renewal session\, we are diving into this question as we consider the recent changes and hope for a continued movement across the denomination toward justice and equity. Our incredible panelists\, including the newly installed Bishop Kristin Stoneking\, will consider the changes they have seen in The UMC and the changes they hope to see in the future\, both as ministers and lay members of the denomination. Join us for a unique discussion of the future of The United Methodist Church! \nTo register\, CLICK HERE. \nPanelists\nBishop Kristin Stoneking\nEpiscopal Leader of The Mountain Sky Conference \nEarly in her career\, Bishop Stoneking was campus minister at the University of California\, Davis. There\, she founded the Multifaith Living Community\, building six townhouses to create a community where faith formation for students could be real and relevant as part of an intentional\, justice-focused residential setting. The pluralistic environment supported students’ faith articulations\, sense of vocation and purpose\, and capacity to stand in solidarity with one another and others experiencing injustice. Bishop Stoneking also served as the national executive director of the US branch of the historic Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)\, an anti-racist\, justice and peace organization with consultative status at the United Nations. Part of a worldwide communion\, FOR is the oldest interfaith peace and justice organization in the United States. Most recently\, her dedication to establishing and expanding communities that offer a sense of belonging inspired her work as a District Superintendent and Director of Innovative Ministries and Congregational Vitality for the California-Nevada Annual Conference. Bishop Stoneking is a graduate of Rice University (BA.)\, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary (MDiv) and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley\, California (PhD). As a former Fellow of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University\, she now serves as an advisor. Bishop Stoneking has served on the faculties of both Pacific School of Religion (Associate Professor of United Methodist Studies and Leadership) and Claremont School of Theology (Adjunct Professor in United Methodist Studies.) \nGayla Jo Slauson\nMSC Co-Lay Leader \nGayla Jo Slauson currently serves as one of three elected Mountain Sky Conference Co-lay Leaders; she finishes eight-years and will be term-limited in that role in 2026. She filled the Head of Delegation role as an elected General Conference lay delegate for Mountain Sky Conference in April\,2024\, and serves on the Western Jurisdiction Committee on Episcopacy. In August of this year\, she participated as a delegate in the World Methodist Council held in Sweden. A retired emeriti management professor from Colorado Mesa University\, she is also a Certified Lay Speaker who enjoys filling-in for pastors. Gayla and her husband\, Michael\, are actively involved at Crossroads United Methodist Church in Grand Junction\, Colorado. They have experienced tough times in recent years: losing a daughter and son-in-law in a car accident\, dealing with cancer\, and facing the recent loss of Gayla’s mother. Reading\, writing\, and painting have become helpful activities for Gayla. Life is precious; they are learning to live it one day at a time. \nRev.
