Podcasts about ecumenical advocacy days

In this special episode, recorded live at the Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2024 in Washington, D.C., we explore the intersection of the Black Church, racism, and immigration. Moderated by Maurice Bloem, this workshop features an insightful panel discussion with Dr. José Wilson, Director of Facilitation and Organizational Learning, North Lawndale Employment Network, Rev. Reuben Eckels, Faith and Partnership Hub Coordinator, CWS, Rev. Noel Andersen, National Field Director, CWS and Amena Elamin, National Youth Organizer, BAJI.   Our apologies in advance, because the reflections from the audience at the end are not always very clear. The workshop delves into the multifaceted challenges of systemic racism, misinformation, and societal division, particularly their impact on marginalized communities. Maurice Bloem sets the stage with an introduction that emphasizes the need for both systemic and inner changes to navigate these crises. He draws on principles from innerdevelopmentgoals.org and Ken Wilber's integral theory to create a safe and learning-focused environment for all participants. Two key themes were discussed: Key Themes Discussed: DEI Initiatives in the Face of Backlash and The Role of Faith Leaders in Bridging Divides.   The participants are encouraged to actively engage by sharing their insights and reflections on the discussions. The session includes a plenary segment where attendees share their key takeaways and reflect on the shared human experiences discussed during the workshop.
