Greeting Peacemakers
--
Our most recent Potluck Supper Meeting, on 3/9, had an attendance of about 55 people. Twenty five of them were from the host church, St. Albert the Great in Minneapolis and I would guess that to be a record for a first-time host church. Thanks and congrats to St. Albert the Great!
Our program was titled "Reasons and Resources" and consequently we had on display of many resources. There were copies of many articles, an assortment of video materials, and lists of books, websites and speakers. There were many questions after the program about borrowing or otherwise acquiring these materials. We are working on this matter and hope to send out another e-mail message in the near future - perhaps a week or two.
The ECAPC national organization is currently soliciting suggestions for a "Ten Best Peace Books" list.
Go to the website http://www.ecapc.org and look for the link on the homepage. While you are there look at the local group's subsection on "Resources"
which is located at http://www.ecapc.org/twinresources.asp and note that it is somewhat dated. If there are more recent books that should be included please let me know. Likewise if you find listed websites that are no longer functional.
To my knowledge, at this time we have niether a host church nor a specific program plan for May 11th Potluck Supper Meeting. We have standing invitations from several churches which have hosted in the past. An invitation from another first-time host church would also be welcome. With regard to the program, suggestions are welcome. One possibility might be to continue the "Resources" theme with a sampling of some of the video materials that some of our members have available. Comments?
There is an interesting series of events this next weekend (sorry about the short notice) -- that could be seen as a significant resource for peacemakers. It is >
Sabbath Economics: A Hopeful Vision in a Time of Economic Crisis with Ched Myers
and is sponsored by several Twin Cities churches.
