Presbyterian Health, Education and Welfare Association (PHEWA) Consultation on Criminal Justice

Click here to register for this event.

An upcoming consultation of experts, advocates, activists and volunteers to address the complex issues surrounding criminal justice in the United States will take place at Stony Point Conference Center, February 17–19, 2012. This consultation is in response to a referral from GA219 that the Presbyterian Health Education and Welfare Association convene, “ Interested Individuals…to Consider and Propose the Creation of a Presbyterian Health, Education, and Welfare Association (PHEWA) Network on Criminal Justice for Education and Advocacy Ministries. As a result of this referral, this consultation will, in addition to resourcing individuals and communities with a commitment to criminal justice issues, also mark the launch of a Criminal Justice Network, which will join the PHEWA’s ten other networks in education and advocacy work.

Are you feeling broken-hearted about the state of our democracy? Are you wondering how you might help make it what you know it could be? We extend an invitation to anyone yearning for greater meaning, authenticity, and sense of purpose in personal life, work, and community to explore their “soul and role” as citizens in our democracy. Over this weekend we will contemplate five “habits of the heart” described in Parker J. Palmer’s Healing the Heart of Democracy: The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit: understanding we are all in this together, appreciating the value of “otherness,” holding tension in life-giving ways, generating a sense of personal voice and agency, and strengthening our capacity to create community.

Cost of the weekend: $420 double occupancy, $495 single occupancy.

If you have any questions, please contact Cat Greenstreet at cgreenstreet1@verizon.net.

So-Mahng Presbyterian Church at SPC (again)

It seems we've been seeing a lot of So-Mahng Presbyterian Church lately. This past weekend we had two different groups from the same church! They've been coming to SPC for the last ten years. We're certainly grateful for their loyalty. Their youth visisted us last weekend. They had a great time and spent lots of time singing. See you again soon!
