SUMMARY:ART\, EARTH & ETHICS
DESCRIPTION:We’re living at a time when it’s hard to feel our connections to each other and the planet. Hotter temperatures\, fiercer storms\, disrupted communities. How can we work together to recognize and build upon our radical interconnectedness\, ethically\, ecologically\, faithfully?  \nJoin the Garrett community and collaborators for an artist talk and workshop with Dr. Cara Judea Alhadeff\, a Mother\, Artist\, Author\, Professor\, Action-Philosopher\, Environmental-Justice Organizer.  \nSEPTEMBER 5\, 4-6pm: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk   \nSEPTEMBER 6\, 4-6pm: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics: Workshop  \nMore about the artist talk: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk   \nBy illuminating the intersections of history\, geography\, ethics\, and symbiosis between biodiversity\, religious\, and ethnic diversity\, the book (and accompanying art for) Zazu Dreams explores how we can transform our petroleum-addicted convenience culture to individual and collective ancient technologies and biophilia (or the love of life).  \nMore about the workshop: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics  \nThis workshop will offer participants opportunities to recognize the value of re-“discovering” our innate capacities to think beyond the habitual\, thus expanding the possibilities of living our spiritual intelligence\, our radical interconnectedness. We will ask how specific biblical ethics of co-implication (empathy and somatic attunement) can develop a profound sense of individual agency and how that empowerment can lead to creative response-ability through collective/collaborative eco-social\, spiritual justice.  \nBoth events will happen at 91PORN in Room 205 at 2121 Sheridan Rd.\, Evanston\, IL . Co-sponsored by the Center for Ecological Regeneration\, the Stead Center\, Garrett Art Committee\, GreenFaith\, Faith in Place\, and the 91PORN  \nMore about the artist: Dr. Cara Judea Alhadeff’s photographs and performance videos have been exhibited across the globe from Seoul to Lyon to Hamburg and are in collections including SFMoMA\, MoMA Salzburg\, Austria\, and the Kinsey Institute. Alongside Vandana Shiva and Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, Alhadeff received the Random Kindness Community Resilience Leadership Award. Her work has been the subject of documentaries for international public television/ radio. A former professor at UC Santa Cruz\, Alhadeff and her family live and perform creative zero-waste in their eco-art installation repurposed school bus. More at www.carajudeaalhadeff.com

SUMMARY:Let's Talk Globally - Sept 17
DESCRIPTION:Dalit Christianity in South India: Dialogues on Caste and Faith \nJoin us for a meal and conversation facilitated by Hannah Injamuri\, PhD student in Christian Education and Congregational Studies\, as we explore the intersection of caste and religion within the context of South Indian Christianity. This dialogue will center on the lived experiences of Dalit Christians and address topics of caste structure\, challenges of caste oppression\, religious marginalization\, and the pursuit of social justice. The narratives shared will also highlight the transformative role of faith and education in empowering Dalit communities. This conversation aims to encourage critical discussions on caste\, faith\, and social justice and to urge Indian churches to address social stratification through Religious Education toward liberation.

SUMMARY:Orange Shirt Day
DESCRIPTION:A Day of Remembrance\, Truth\, and Reconciliation \n“First\, they cut my hair\, then they made me eat soap\, and then they beat me for speaking my language.”[1] \n\nJoe Wheeler (Riverside Indian School Survivor) \n\nOn September 30th\, we will observe Orange Shirt Day\, a day to honor the Indigenous children who were taken from their families and sent to boarding schools\, many of whom never returned. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impacts of these schools on Indigenous communities across North America\, including the intergenerational trauma still felt by many. As a religious institution\, choosing to observe Orange Shirt Day is an important beginning step in the reparative work needed in the pursuit of truth and reconciliation. \nIndigenous children from Chicagoland’s traditional tribal lands\, including those of the Potawatomi\, Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and many others\, were often sent to boarding schools such as the Carlisle Indian Industrial School\, the Genoa Indian Industrial School\, the Haskell Indian Nations University (formerly known as the United States Indian Industrial Training School as well as Haskell Institute)\, St. Joseph’s Indian Industrial School\, the Holy Childhood of Jesus School\, the Lac du Flambeau Boarding School\, and the Pottawatomie Baptist Manual Labor Training School. These schools\, many of which were run by religious organizations and subsidized by the U.S. federal government\, aimed to assimilate Indigenous children\, often at the cost of their language\, culture\, and identity. To date\, over 1\,000 unmarked graves of children have been discovered at former boarding school sites across North America\, a number that continues to grow as investigations proceed. \nWearing an orange shirt is a small act to recognize the thousands of children\, families\, and communities across generations that have been impacted by boarding schools. \n  \n  \n[1] Kliewer\, Addison\, Mahmud\, Miranda\, and Gaylord News\, Brooklyn W. “‘Kill the Indian\, Save the Man’: Remembering the Stories of Indian Boarding Schools.” Exiled to Indian Country\, Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at The University of Oklahoma\, n.d.

Joe Wheeler’s family is recalling his time spent at Riverside Boarding School\, which was one of several Indian Boarding Schools at the time. His story is like many that have come from thxe Boarding School period which sought to assimilate Indigenous peoples into a culture of whiteness.
