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!
“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.”
Access the full list of episodes and sessions here.

Specifically about this May 25 session:
Even when we work to separate our observations from judgements we make about them, the judgements remain. We still apply a moral framework, some way of prioritizing what’s important to us. Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt invites us to examine the moral frameworks we use to tell right from wrong. As we explore these frameworks, we’ll be applying what we’ve learned about thinking, empathizing, and feeling to regard one another in a new way, opening ourselves to the humanity of the people we “other.”

Specifically about this June 22 session:
We’ve added an examination of our thinking to the exploration of how we experience, process, and express our emotion. We’ve learned about tools for how to practice empathy by connecting with emotions, as well as how to open our minds to new ideas and perspectives. Now we’ll practice combining those skills in this month’s practice session with Critical Race Theory as the topic.

Western States Youth Gathering 2023
2023-07-04 - 2023-07-09
The Western States Youth Gathering (WSYG) and Western States Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (WYLE) is back! Coming to California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, CA, July 4-9, 2023, the Western States Youth Gathering is open to high school aged youth in Regions 1-4 of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
WSYG and WYLE will gather around the theme, “Revive, Reunite, Rejoice”, grounded in Acts 2:1 “When the day [of WSYG] came, they were all together in one place.”
With nearly 35 years of history, WSYG is a multi-day youth gathering that gives high schoolers the opportunity to explore their faith, gather as a community through creative team-building activities and workshops, and enjoy endless summer fun all under the Southern California sunshine. In 2017, the WSYG planning team hosted the first ever Western States Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (WYLE). WYLE is a pre-gathering intended for students of color and/or youth groups that makes up at least 20% persons of color, taking place the few days leading up to WSYG.
This year’s event will feature an outdoor festival-style main stage, interactive and service learning opportunities, team-building activities with our lutheran outdoor ministries, creative worship elements, and exciting nightlife events.
After a cancelled 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic and with a new core leadership team, this year’s WSYG and WYLE may look a bit different, but will still center the good news that Christ dwells among us and through us. With synodical sponsorship from the Southwest California Synod and Pacifica Synod, WSYG and WYLE hopes to bring together over 500 participants from as far east as Minnesota, down south to the Gulf-Coast, up north to Alaska, and out west to the islands of Hawai’i.
Registration for WSYG and WYLE opens Monday, Oct. 3, 2022, at $385 per person, with prices increasing Jan. 4, 2023. Registration spots can be reserved with an early bird registration deposit of $115 per person. https://www.wsyg.com/

Cultivating Compassion Session 7: The Wild Edge of Sorrow

Access the full list of episodes and sessions here.

Specifically about this July 27 session:
One of the great paradoxes of life in the United States is that while we all experience loss, we’re largely left on our own to process and integrate it. As we begin moving our attention from the interior world where we’ve spent the first half of this series, we look to Francis Weller for what he calls “an apprenticeship with sorrow.” This opportunity to face our own losses, whatever they may be, is a crucial step toward facing others’ loss. Even more importantly, it equips us to be present to the loss and suffering in the world without being overcome by it.

Specifically about this August 24 session:
“We can look upon the face of anyone or anything around us and say – as a moral declaration and a spiritual, cosmological, and biological fact: you are part of me I do not yet know.” (p. 11) These words encapsulate what Valarie Kaur means by “see no stranger.” Through personal stories, she shares her journey toward revolutionary love, a love that embraces self, others, and even those we oppose. This kind of love invites us to experience the depth of being human, embracing joy, grief, anger, and wonder as we learn to love each other.

Specifically about this September 28 session:
“Columbus sailed the ocean blue; in fourteen hundredy ninety-two,” so says the song from 4th grade. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that in 1493, Pope Alexander VI issued a document titled “Inter Caetera” in which he grants possession of everything west of the 39°W meridian to whichever European Christians get there first, ignoring the reality that these lands were already possessed by the people who lived there. This writing, along with Pope Nicholas V’s 1455 “Romanus Pontifex,” laid the foundation for what we now call the “Doctrine of Discovery.” In the process, these men invoke God’s name to encourage dehumanizing, enslaving, and dispossessing humans, behavior diametrically opposed to the way of Christ. It’s also true that Pope Paul III declared in 1537 that “Indians [sic] and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians …should, freely and legitimately, enjoy their liberty and possession of their property; nor should they be in any way enslaved.” That didn’t keep US chief justice John Marshall from referencing “Inter Caetera” as part of the court’s 1823 decision in Johnson v. McIntosh, enshrining the Doctrine of Discovery in US law. In this month’s reading, we follow Christian pastors Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah through this complex maze to face “the ongoing, dehumanizing legacy of the doctrine of discovery.”

Access the full list of episodes and sessions here.

Specifically about this October 26 session:
We love a good story, with its protagonists and antagonists, plot twists and conflicts. As we read narratives of fact or fiction, it’s natural to identify with the hero and despise the villian. In his 1889 biography of Charles George Gordon, William Francis Butler observed, “…it is the victor who writes the history and counts the dead, and to the vanquished in such a struggle there only remains the dull memory of an unnumbered and unwritten sorrow.” We know that for every happening, there are at least as many stories as there are observers, often more. Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” attempts to give voice to those stories often unrepresented in our discussion of history. The result is devastating, but its goal is hope. Zinn says, “I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past’s fugitive moments compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.”

Specifically about this November 30 session:
We’ve built skills for feeling and thinking and hearing. In this practice session, we apply those skills to discuss affirmative action and reparations. We reflect on our experiences with See No Stranger, Unsettling Truths, and A People’s History to ask, “What can we do to right the wrongs of the past? And whether we can right them, do we want to?” These are hard questions and the path to a world where everyone thrives lies in working on them.

Cultivating Compassion Session 12: Finite and Infinite Games

Access the full list of episodes and sessions here.

Specifically about this January 4 session:
Across disciplines as diverse as marketing, education, health, and management, “gamification” draws on our capacity to play to help us move ourselves and others toward a goal. Books like Burlingham and Stack’s “The Great Game of Business” and Boller and Kapp’s “Play to Learn” provide examples of how to apply this concept. With computers or consoles, balls or marbles, cards or boards, humans love games. The subtitle of this month’s book is “a vision of life as play and possibility.” In it, Carse invites us to frame our lives, at work, at home, in society, as play and to choose what kind of game it will be. He says there are at least two kinds of games: “A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.” When we play a finite game with an opponent playing an infinite game, we’re destined to lose. The forces in our world that oppose peace and justice, as well as the empathy and compassion that leads to peace and justice, are playing an infinite game. We close this series with Carse’s work to inspire infinite strategies in which we might bring to life our role in bending “the arc of the moral universe … toward justice.”

Public Witness Team meeting
2024-07-13 10:00 - 12:30 | Shepherd of Life Lutheran Church, 715 E. Lamar Blvd., Arlington, TX, 76011, United States
Welcome! We are the Public Witness Team for Peace and Justice of the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana (NT-NL) Synod of the ELCA. We meet on the second Saturday of most months. Our mission is to give public witness to issues of justice and peace in the synod and in the community, and this includes both education and advocacy. One of our goals is to assist congregations in the NT-NL Synod in their efforts to be a public church within their own communities.
For our 2023 meetings, the plan is to host a hybrid meeting in-person at Shepherd of Life Lutheran Church in Arlington, TX, with Zoom connection available for those who would prefer that.

Anyone is welcome to join us!

ELCA Young Adult Gathering
2024-07-16 - 2024-07-20
Due to the cancellation of the 2022 ELCA Youth Gathering, MYLE, and tAble, many young people were not able to participate in these life-changing faith formation events. In partnership with ELCA Young Adult Ministries, we are thrilled to open the first-ever ELCA Young Adult Gathering to individuals who will be 18 to 35 at the time of the Gathering. We recognize that 18-35 is a wide age range and anticipate that most of our programming will be geared toward those 18 to 25 years old.
The Young Adult Gathering will take place in New Orleans during the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering (July 16-20, 2024). Programming and content are still being discerned.
