Downtown Chicago SACRED SPACES Wraps Up Year Two

Posted on June 28, 2013 by

June 10 was the first anniversary of the signing of a powerful solidarity pledge on the Federal Plaza in Chicago by the eight Sharing Sacred Spaces: Downtown Chicago religious communities who participated in a pilot program of interreligious community building. The project was created in partnership between the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions and Suzanne Morgan of Sacred Space International. The weekend also marked the completion of the second year of the work of these eight congregations building solidarity for mutual support and neighborhood service.

The website for the Parliament recently posted a summary article of the group’s activities these past two years. CLICK HERE TO HAVE A LOOK!

You’ll be glad to know to the Sacred Spaces planning team is meeting over the summer to plan a third year of activities.

Planning at Seventeenth Church

Posted on April 8, 2013 by

The congregation at Seventeenth Church of Christ, Scientist had a productive and fun time on March 24th honoring the Christ we see in one another (notice the Christ-like qualities listed on the sheets of paper taped to our backs) and celebrating the church’s good works of the past year (being noted on the flip charts)! We also began to plan next year’s unifying theme and activities.

Submit your theme ideas and activity suggestions by April 20th (click on “leave a reply” in green below). They will be added to the master list of recommendations and then discussed/voted upon at the May membership meeting.
