SUMMARY:Sacred Conversations: The Spirituality of Loneliness in Life's Second Chapter
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nCovid-19 has revealed yet another epidemic among us: of loneliness and isolation. The challenges they present to mental health and spiritual well-being can be particularly difficult for those in the second chapter of life\, including people of faith\, and faith leaders. Yet too often\, stigma and a misconception of the root causes of loneliness and isolation can leave those affected to suffer in silence. Please join Caleb Pusey\, spiritually integrated psychotherapist with CareNet in Marion\, NC\, as he engages storytelling and evidence-based evaluation tools to provide a way forward for congregations to begin deep conversations around the source of loneliness and isolation in older adults — most especially during the time of Covid — to bring understanding\, hope\, and healing. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nOnce you have completed registration\, you will receive a confirmation email with Zoom invitation information. If you have any questions\, please email PHWinfo@ncchurches.org.

SUMMARY:Answering the Call: The American Struggle for the Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of “Answering the Call: The American struggle for the Right to Vote” followed by a You Can Vote representative who will discuss voter registration and voting procedures in North Carolina. \nAbout the film: \nFifty-five years ago\, Americans watched in horror as images of bloody police attacks on voting rights protesters on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma\, Alabama appeared on national TV networks\, shocking the consciences of many Americans. John Witeck was in his second year at the University of Virginia then when Martin Luther King subsequently called for clergy to join him in Selma. John and two fellow students joined two clergymen in answering this call and drove overnight from Charlottesville to Selma and arrived there on Turnaround Tuesday\, two days after Bloody Sunday. \nFifty-one years later (2016)\, John and his nephew\, film producer Brian Jenkins\, traveled to Alabama to both document John’s story in Selma in 1965 as well as the broader struggle for voting rights then and through the ensuing years. From the Voting Rights Act of 1965 through the 2013 Supreme Court decision that hobbled it\, this film depicts the tortured struggle that continues to this day. \nThis film features interviews with John Lewis\, voting rights experts in academia\, the state senator who represents Selma today\, a Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist in Birmingham\, ACLU’s executive director in Montgomery\, Alabama’s current Secretary of State\, and others. \nClick here to register.
