SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 2: Nonviolent Communication
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this February 23 session: \nHow is it that we wind up alienated from one another? Following his curiosity about this very question led Marshall Rosenberg to identify four things: moralistic judgments\,refusing to take responsibility for ourselves\, making demands\, and thinking “who deserves what.” We do these things to ourselves and to the people around us. Nonviolent Communication points the way toward more connection with ourselves and others with a language of life. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-2-nonviolent-communication-tickets-502116252227

SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Session 1: Permission to Feel
DESCRIPTION:The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO)\, Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector\, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion! \n“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself\, your friends\, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions\, reasoning\, decision-making\, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.” \nAccess the full list of episodes and sessions here. \n\nSpecifically about this January 26 session: \nMaybe you’ve heard people say\, “facts don’t care about your feelings.” Maybe you’ve even told yourself that. It’s true in that facts don’t care about anything: they simply are. The same is true of humans: we simply are. Part of our simply being a human\, however\, is having emotions. And one of the choices we make in each moment is whether or not to care about our own emotions or those of the people around us. This month and next\, we’ll explore the emotional dimension of our humanity\, especially the way we can find meaningful insights about facts and our relationship to them by attending to our feelings about them. We begin our adventure together with Marc Brackett’s book\, Permission to Feel. \nFull details about this session (including registration) can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-compassion-session-1-permission-to-feel-tickets-490320601117

SUMMARY:Question\, Persuade\, Refer (QPR) Training
DESCRIPTION:Question\, Persuade\, Refer (QPR) is like CPR training\, in that the more people learn and practice these skills\, the faster individuals struggling with thoughts of suicide can be supported and get appropriate help. QPR is a nationally used\, evidenced based training that assists people in learning how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question\, persuade\, and refer someone to help. These three steps can help save a life\, and it’s the same technique first responders and educators use with individuals contemplating suicide. QPR is suicide prevention training designed to give every person in our community the confidence and competence to help someone at risk for suicide. Parents\, friends\, neighbors\, teachers\, ministers\, doctors\, nurses\, office supervisors\, squad leaders\, foremen\, police officers\, advisors\, caseworkers\, firefighters and other community members – anyone can learn these 3 simple steps that teach you how to recognize the warning signs\, offer hope\, and get help. \nDue to the Covid-19 Delta variant\, we are planning to host this QPR workshop online on October 9 from 1pm – 3pm. \nThis is a FREE Continuing Education opportunity (usually $30) covered by Public Witness through a generous Mission Endowment Fund Grant. Donations accepted for future opportunities. (Please designate Public Witness in the Note / memo field.) \nRegistration required. Limited to first twelve (12) registrants. If you register and are unable to attend for any reason\, please notify jason@ntnl.org ASAP so that we can open that spot back up for someone else. If you attempt to register and the course is full\, please email jason@ntnl.org to be added to a wait list.

SUMMARY:Living Connected Workshop on Creation's Gift of Energy

SUMMARY:White Supremacy & Racism: Facing Reality\, Taking Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:A Study Group Co-Sponsored by Briarwood Leadership Center and the Public Witness Team of the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod\, ELCA \nAmerican forms of racism shape our life together in ELCA congregations. White supremacy distorts our proclamation of the Gospel\, limiting the possibilities of evangelism. Lay and rostered congregational leaders interested in facing these realities are invited to join this study group co-organized by Briarwood Leadership Center and the Public Witness Team of NT-NL Synod. \nWith an eye toward taking meaningful action\, we will work through some of the most incisive analytical studies of racism. We will focus on structural realities rather than individual attitudes or personal experience. Equipped by this intensive study\, the group will decide what actions they will take in their own congregations and which actions will be recommended to the NT-NL Synod as a whole. \nLed by Emma Rodgers (St. John\, Dallas) and Robert Smith (Briarwood Leadership Center)\, the course will feature several outside guest speakers with expertise in the topics and particular authors. The proposed agenda is listed below. All readings will be provided in electronic format\, with encouragement toward additional resources. \nSessions are on Tuesday evenings\, biweekly\, 7-8:30pm. Pre-registration is required in order to receive the Zoom link. All participants are strongly encouraged to complete the assigned reading prior to participating in a session. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvf-Cvpz8tGNOiuDyWHhZGAguSPKrdNp3X.

SUMMARY:Living Connected Workshop on Creation's Gift of Land
DESCRIPTION:Land is a constant under our feet\, and yet\, except for those who make their living from the land\, we may seldom think of it. We receive all our food and material goods from land. In its broadest sense\, land is the place where we live\, and it connects us to all life that shares the place with us. This Living Connected workshop will explore the ways we are called to care for land and offer spiritual practices for faith-based action. \nNT-NL Public Witness is offering this Living Connected workshop online twice in March 2021. The presenter is Katrina Martich\, a Lutheran Deaconess and licensed environmental engineer in Texas. \nSaturday\, March 20\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM CST \nTuesday\, March 23\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM CST \nRegister at katrinamartich.com for the Zoom link. \nLiving Connected presents creation care as a spiritual discipline\, formed by using the gifts of creation in just and loving ways.

SUMMARY:Living Connected Workshop on Creation’s Gift of Waste
DESCRIPTION:Waste as a gift may sound strange\, but throughout creation\, the waste of one creature becomes the life of another in a continuous cycle. The exception is our species\, which declares things useless and buries or incinerates them. This Living Connected workshop will: \n\nReflect on the way our systems make it easy to be wasteful;\nDiscuss spiritual practices for viewing waste differently; and\nProvide resources for making faith-based choices about waste.\n\nNT-NL Public Witness is offering this workshop online twice in January 2021.

SUMMARY:Bridging the Divide: Skills for better\, more civil conversations in an uncivil society
DESCRIPTION:We live in a polarized society in which neither “side” listens to the other. Families are being split apart\, friendships are fractured\, and even our church family finds it difficult to bridge the divide. We are unable to talk about the most important topics that affect our lives. We can do better. This workshop provides a Biblical foundation for honoring the humanity of others\, and teaches skills to have better\, more meaningful conversations with those with whom we disagree. \nClick here for a bulletin insert in PDF format. \nREGISTER HERE.
