Micah Bucey

From Community Minister Elæ Moss Benedetto:

This is an AMAZING program, offered for free, put together in collaboration with organizers and mutual aid orgs across the city, responding to our continued need to feel and be prepared for any number of scenarios -- and to acknowledge and sit with our bodyminds and how much they are carrying right now!

Feeling confident and informed makes such a difference not only in our physical actions on the ground but also how traumatized we feel -- not only in anticipation, during, and after challenging events. Skill training in community health and safety serves to demystify areas of fear, moving us out of uninformed panic into a space of discernment and familiarity with best practices.

Religion and the Constitution have a long and complex relationship. Those who drafted the Constitution and its amendments had varied and nuanced understandings of religion, which influenced their views of governance, liberty, and equality.

So when proponents of originalism argue that constitutional interpretation must follow its so-called original meaning, are they engaging with that nuance? Or have they replaced it with a politically motivated just-so story to promote a regressive and antidemocratic social agenda?

Join us at a live in-person event at Judson Memorial Church at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 13, for a timely discussion on the role religion has played in shaping originalist thought, as well as alternative approaches to understanding the Constitution and our relationship to it.
