Come hear a true prophetic voice this coming Sunday at God Can Ministires. For nearly 50 years, the Reverend Yvonne V. Delk, has been a strong ally in the fight for human and civil rights for people of color, children and the poor. Today, she remains a clear, prolific and moral voice in search of justice and equality for the oppressed within the U.S. interfaith community. Rev. Delk is the Founding Director of the Center for African American Theological Education with SCUPE.
The church plays by jigsaw puzzle theology but the world plays by poker theology, remarked a participant at the NATO/G8 teach-in event at the Chicago Temple, last Sunday night. A jigsaw puzzle is a problem that many people will come together to solve and gain satisfaction in the result, while poker is about winners and losers, who keep poker-faced in order to hide their feelings from others. Can the faith communities win the struggle for justice when they are playing by a different set of rules, he asked, or is there a poker theology?
SCUPE is proud to co-sponsor the following event, which will look at the place of economic justice in the Christian tradition. More than simple analysis and theology... the event will also offer an opportunity for participants to strategize and organize around specific issues of economic justice, on a local level, that are directly connected to the global machinations of NATO and G8
