Celebration Panel for OBOC

Donation protected
Urban Village Church , in partnership with Deborah Jian Lee, created One Book, One Church an inter-church book club that includes fifty-three communities across the United States and Canada reading Rescuing Jesus: How People of Color, Women, and Queer Christians are Reclaiming Evangelicalism . Approximately 1,000 people participated in this summer’s book club and online events. One Book, One Church  will conclude with a Celebration Panel, a discussion on intersectional justice in faith communities, hosted by Urban Village Church on August 21, 2016. The Celebration Panel will include 200 participants in the audience and is expected to receive 1,000 views online.

Why should you participate?

This has been a difficult summer of violence and hatred. Despite evidence to the contrary, communities throughout the nation are committing to work against violence toward peole of color, women, LGBTQ folks and people with intersecting identities. Help us celebrate that God continues to work through us as we create inclusive communities, work to be more anti-racist in our lives and the institutions in which we move, and celebrating intersections of identity that show our God is complicated and beautiful. Urban Village Church is asking those participating in One Book, One Church and those committed to intersectional justice in our world to crowd sponsor our final event. 

Financial gifts to sponsor the Celebration Panel will provide for financial gifts to guest specialists, refreshments, and party-like supplies to inspire movement forward on intersectional justice efforts. 

Thank you for helping us celebrate what God is doing in our hearts and lives. Thank you for helping us celebrate that we will not be moved but continue to work towards love, mercy, and justice for the future!
