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 Energy

The presenter is Katrina Martich\, a Lutheran Deaconess and licensed environmental engineer in Texas. \nSaturday\, May 22\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM CST \nTuesday\, May 25\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM CST \nRegister at www.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:2021 John Hope Franklin Reconciliation in America National Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Tulsa’s Past: The Centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre and Beyond \nThe Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod invites all our siblings from across the ELCA to join us digitally for the 2021 John Hope Franklin Reconciliation in America National Symposium\, May 26-29.  Following the Symposium\, on the afternoon of May 29th\, everyone is invited to join us for a Zoom conversation where we will continue addressing the themes of Symposium and talk specifically about how those themes speak to us as a church.  Attending the Symposium is not necessary to be a part of the post-symposium gathering. \nThe National Symposium is an annual event sponsored by the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation in Tulsa\, OK and brings together local and nationally known speakers and people from around the country to learn about and discuss ways to work against racism and for racial reconciliation.  Founded in 2007\, the vision of the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation in Tulsa is to transform the bitterness and mistrust caused by years of racial division and violence into a hopeful future of reconciliation and cooperation for Tulsa and the nation.  In the spirit of John Hope Franklin (1915-2009)\, American historian and educator noted for his scholarly reappraisal of the American Civil War era and the importance of the black struggle in shaping modern American identity\, the Center promotes reconciliation and generating trust through scholarly work and constructive community engagement. \nIndividuals must register for the Symposium through the JHF Center website: https://www.jhfnationalsymposium.org. A schedule and list of speakers for the Symposium is also available on the website. \nFrom 1:00-3:30 PM CDT on Saturday\, May 29\, ELCA participants in the Symposium and others are invited to join the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod for a time of reflection and conversation.  Led by a panel including  Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod Bishop Michael Girlinghouse\, Ms. Vanessa Adams-Harris\, John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation\, Mr. Bill Horne\, ELCA Vice-president\,  and Ms. Judith Roberts\, ELCA Sr. Director for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion we will discuss the complicity and silence of the white church in the perpetuation of racial injustice\, including violent events like the Tulsa Race Massacre\, how the church is working against racial injustice today\, and ways we can show up and step up to work for change in our church\, our local communities and nation in the days ahead.  ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton will share concluding thoughts and reflections about how we can move together as a church to address these issues. \nIf you would like to join us for the post-symposium conversation\, you will need to register at: https://www.aokelca.org/event-details/2021-john-hope-franklin-annual-symposium to receive the Zoom link and password for the ELCA event. \nIf you have questions please call the A-OK synod office at (918) 492-4288
