Introduction to Movement Chaplaincy (6/23)

The Anti-Racism Commission of the Diocese of Pennsylvania is sponsoring an Introduction to Movement Chaplaincy for clergy and faith leaders offering pastoral support to those engaged in protecting civil society. The program, which is open to clergy and faith leaders from all traditions, will be facilitated by Melissa Berkey-Gerard, MDiv, a local Mennonite minister, activist and past psychosocial care coordinator for Community Peacemaker Teams.
The program, which includes lunch, will provide an overview of movement chaplaincy and help faith leaders understand the anatomy of protest and non-violent direct action, understand their role and prepare to offer pastoral presence and support. Participants are invited to attend the weekly prayer service in support of our immigrant siblings at 2 p.m. on the corner of Marshall and George Streets in Norristown.
A fee of $15 covers lunch. Use the Eventbrite link to register. Scholarships are available. Please contact the Rev. Barbara Ballenger at stpeter654rector@gmail.com for more information.
