Presented by The Lecture Series at UCUCC in collaboration with the Church Council of Greater Seattle.
Friday, March 9, 7 8:30 pm:
Law and Story: Reframing the National Conversation on Immigration, with Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson and introduction by Michael Ramos, Executive Director, Church Council of Greater Seattle
Our laws and our narratives - the stories we tell ourselves - and the ways we interpret them are key to framing our understanding of ourselves and our communities. In the face of growing nationalism in our own country and abroad, our academic, legal, and religious communities have an opportunity and an obligation to move our discussion of immigration away from fear and towards a more compelling vision of our place in an increasingly global society.
Saturday, March 10, 9 am 2:30 pm:
Faithfulness Beyond Boundaries: Reading the Book of Ruth on the Move.
Whether following a dream or leaving behind a difficult situation, humans have throughout history followed the pull and push of migration. The marvelous story of the book of Ruth captures the fears, challenges, and hope of those who find themselves away from home. But more than that, it invites us to realize that boundariesof creed, space, or cultureare no limit for Gods faithfulness. Explore how this ancient text, seen through the eyes of contemporary immigrants, can challenge and inspire our understanding of our increasingly interconnected world.
Saturday sessions include:
9:00-10:15 Pushed by Loss, Pulled by Faithfulness (Book of Ruth 1)
10:30-12:00 Daring by Hope (Book of Ruth 3)
1:00-2:30 pm Forward Together (Book of Ruth 4)
Sunday, March 11:
9 9:45 am: Prophetic Imagination: Spiritually Rooted Leadership for a World on the Move
While not original to the period of the Reformation, this phrase - The reformed church, always reforming - captures the movement of the Spirit throughout the history of the church. As we live through a time of major transition, what New York Times columnist and author Thomas Friedman calls the age of acceleration, how does the church draw on its tradition of reform to lead a world in desperate need of prophets and visions? How might we engage a world literally on the move to revisit and draw on our Sacred Text to learn anew to be a people on The Way?
10 am Sunday service sermon by Rev. Dr. Vasquez-Levy:
The Gospel Outside: Healing at the Border (Luke 17:11-19)
