SUMMARY:Moral Monday and Public Religious Leadership: Honoring the Legacy of Will Campbell
DESCRIPTION:The School of Divinity in partnership with the North Carolina Council of Churches\, and the Wake Forest University Department of Religion\, the Religion and Public Engagement Program\, and Office of the Chaplain\, will be hosting a forum on Moral Mondays and Public Religious Leadership. \nThe forum is held in honor and remembrance of Will Campbell (’48). Professor Stephen Boyd from the Department of Religion will be lecturing. Other presenters will include community leaders who participated in Moral Monday events during the last legislative session. \nSchedule\n\n\n\n2:00pm\nWelcome and Words about Will Campbell\n\n\n2:15pm\nPanel of Participants in Moral Mondays\n\n\n3:00pm\n“Moral Mondays and Dr. King’s Dream of a Multi-Racial Human Rights Movement”: Lecture by Steve Boyd\, John Allen Easley Professor of Religion\nLecture is sponsored by the Z. Smith Reynolds Library Lecture Series\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture: The lecture will address the Moral Monday Movement that began during the 2013 Session of the North Carolina Legislature. Attention will be given to select aspects of the legislative agenda\, their effects on various members of the state’s population\, media coverage\, and the nature\, growth\, and aims of the demonstrations\, including the 950 who engaged in non-violent civil disobedience and were arrested. Boyd will touch on the larger historical context of race and class in the US and North Carolina and then suggest that this new movement has the potential to answer Dr. King’s call for a broadening of the Civil Rights Movement to a multi-racial human rights movement.\n\n\n4:15pm\nPanel: “Next Steps for Religious Leaders and Communities”\n\n\n\n  \n About Will D. Campbell\nWill D. Campbell (’48) was a theologian\, pastor\, university official\, writer\, and social activist. He served as the Director of the Southern Churchmen\, which served as a platform for his extensive commentary over half a century on the intersections of faith and social conscience. His first book\, published in 1962\, was Race and the Renewal of the Church. His 1977 book Brother to a Dragonfly\, which chronicles the civil rights movement\, was a National Book Award finalist. President Clinton honored Campbell with a Presidential Humanities Medal in 2000\, and he has been given lifetime achievement awards from the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee and the Tennessee chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews.

SUMMARY:Feed My Sheep: Healthy Food Pantry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Many churches highlight feeding ministries and fighting hunger as one of their most important and holy missions\, taking very seriously the call of Jesus to feed his sheep\, as he commands Peter in John’s Gospel. We also know that Jesus said when we clothe\, feed\, visit and welcome the least of these we are doing it unto him. Unfortunately\, a lot of the time\, we have to make a difficult choice — do we feed more people or do we provide higher quality food? Often when we donate to food pantries\, it is a last minute grab from the back of our own cupboard\, maybe something that is almost expired or we don’t want to eat anyway. Is this how we give to the least of these? Is this how we would give if we were really giving unto Christ? \nIf you are interested in talking more about these tensions in giving and issues around access to healthy food\, please join Partners in Health and Wholeness and the Partnership for Community Care for “Healthy Food Pantries: How to Donate to and Create Healthy Food Pantries to Build a Healthy Community” at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 22 at Starmount Presbyterian Church in Greensboro. Lunch will be provided. \nFood insecurity (limited access to nutritionally adequate foods) and chronic disease are strongly related. In North Carolina\, almost one in five residents were food insecure last year and one in six Guilford County residents seeks food assistance weekly. Many food-pantry users are at-risk for or have been diagnosed with a chronic disease. In addition\, they are often deficient in many disease-fighting nutrients. Research indicates that there is a need and desire for healthier foods and nutrition education in food assistance programs. Partnership for Community Care dietitian Sheri Vettel MPH\, RD\, LDN will be discussing this troubling combination of food insecurity and chronic disease in North Carolina and how the Partnership (P4CC) is working to address the problem through its Partnership Pantry Healthy Food Bank Program. In addition\, she will be providing information on how community members may assist Partnership Pantry efforts and how current food pantries can develop their own healthy food packages for individuals with a chronic disease in need. When we give\, let’s give our best\, even while we work to establish a food system that promotes equal access to healthy food for all. \nPlease register online to attend and contact Shannon Axtell Martin 336-912-0976 with any questions. \n–Shannon Axtell Martin\, PHW Regional Consultant \nPartners in Health and Wholeness is an initiative of the North Carolina Council of Churches.
