Repost from The Gathering



Join us for the 2026 Womanist Preaching & Leadership Institute at The Gathering, A Womanist Church, July 10โ€“11, 2026, as we gather around the timely and transformative theme:

โ€œHave You Got Good Religion? Black Liberative Virtuesโ€

This yearโ€™s Institute Scholar is Dr. AnneMarie Mingo, whose work continues to challenge, inspire, and call us toward deeper communal care, justice, and liberative faith practices.

We are also honored to welcome presenters Dr. Rochelle Johnson, Dr. Nicole McDonald, and Dr. Jamie Eaddy, who will help guide rich conversations on womanist preaching, leadership, Black religious life, and embodied liberation.

Our Saturday evening worship experience will feature the powerful preaching ministry of Dr. Maria N. Crompton.

Hosted by Co-Pastors Rev. Dr. Kamilah Hall Sharp and Rev. Dr. Irie Lynne Session, this gathering is designed for preachers, pastors, faith leaders, scholars, activists, and truth-tellers committed to building communities rooted in justice, sacred memory, healing, and Black flourishing.

Come prepared for deep learning, courageous conversation, worship, sisterhood, and prophetic imagination.

Repost from Salvation and Social Justice

URGENT. We need you to contact Senate President Nick Scutari and Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin TODAY and urge them to advance two important bills:
S4228/A4844 โ€“ Expands and diversifies the midwifery workforce, increasing access to quality maternity care.
S4170/A4843 โ€“ Funds community-led maternal health and birthing justice programs in underserved communities.

Scripture reminds us that God knits us together in our mothersโ€™ wombs. Because of that, protecting the lives and health of mothers is a moral responsibility of the people of God. Be sure to call these legislators TODAY: https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/leadership

We also encourage you to learn more about this issue and how you can become an advocate in your area by reviewing our toolkit HERE: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/2f67253afa.html
