December 23, 3013—Carolyn writes: Dear friends, Today I have arrived at my seventieth birthday. I would welcome a donation to Ecumenical Peace Institute, whose year end appeal may be read by clicking on this text link. I have been working with EPI for the last thirty-five years. It has been good work, challenging and eye-opening. I hope you have found valuable and useful EPI's interfaith efforts to end the racism, materialism and militarism upon which the U.S. empire is supported. Peace and joy, Carolyn
Before I archive the webpage on Mother Agnes–Mariam Of the Cross, here it is: MAM Archives 2010-2012 Our 2012 Ecumenical Peace Institute Autumn Gathering, “People, Land and Justice The Community Challenge to Protect Public Land” was fabulous! And it was all recorded by Tony Scarr on his new digital machine. We hope to make it available in mp3 form so that those who missed it can listen to the wonderful and informative talks, and those who were there can re-visit it. Thanks to our presenters, Gray Brechin, Patricia St. Onge & Pennie Opal Plant, and to all who worked to hard to make it a success, and to those who attended, making all our work worthwhile!

*********************************************************** March 19, 2011 Sorry we inadvertently lost the 2010 Good Friday photo slideshow. Here it is: Good Friday Photos. October 25: Conversations About Peacemaking in the 21st Century, October 24th. Conversation With Rev. Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock, Ph.D: Perpetual War, Torture and the Truth Commission, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 650 Alma in Oakland, CA. (MAP). FLIER. Dr. Brock is the Founding Co-Director of Faith Voices for the Common Good, an organization dedicated to educating the public about the values and concerns of religious leaders and organizations. She also works with The New Press in New York as Senior Editor in Religion. During 2001-2002, she was a Fellow at the Harvard Divinity School Center for Values in Public Life. From 1997-2001, Dr. Brock directed the Fellowship Program at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, formerly called the Bunting Institute, and the seven years before she became an administrator, she held an endowed professorship at Hamline University. Dr. Brock’s latest book is: Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love for This World for Crucifixion and Empire. She is a member of the U.S. group of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians, the leading global organization of liberation theologians. Her work continues to interweave religious questions with issue of justice in the U.S. and international contexts. As an active member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Dr. Brock, has served on its General Board and Administrative Committees and from 1996-1998, was the first Chair of the Common Global Ministries Board, a joint venture of the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ. In 1993, Dr. Brock represented the National Council of Churches on an ecumenical, international, high-level delegation to Guatemala and El Salvador to support the peace-making processes in both countries. In March of 2010 she participated as one of five Bay Area commissioners in the “Truth Commission on Conscience in War.” They had a powerful public hearing at Riverside Church on March 21, with 14 testimonies from veterans, a Gold Star Mother, religious leaders, experts on moral injury, and war correspondent Chris Hedges. EPI’s history of support for conscientious objectors will naturally lead us into the national campaign to protect the freedom of moral conscience for those in military service. This evening’s gathering will give us essential signposts. We invite you to help fund these events in addition to your potluck food offering so we can continue to lift up voices for peace in the East Bay! October 21, From Home Page: It’s needing fine-tuning and more photos, but you’re welcome to preview the Slideshow from Good Friday: Photo Gallery. For those who missed the Good Friday service with Pierre Labossiere and Barbara Rhine, and with music by the wonderful Betsy Rose, you may still view the flier and read the Order of Worship.
