She is author of the book, Learning to Be White: Race, Money and God in America. Before receiving her doctorate in the philosophy of religion and theology, Thandeka spent 16 years as an Emmy award-winning television producer. The theologian was given the !Xhosa name Thandeka, meaning "one who is loved by God," by South African Bishop Desmond Tutu in 1984. She is also the daughter of Merrel Daniel Booker, the pastor of Fountain Baptist Church in the 1940s. Thandeka is an affiliated minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockford, Illinois, and president of the Center for Community Values, which encourages small-group ministry and relational communities, where justice, democracy, and human dignity prevail. In a relational community, everyone is treated equitably, and each person participates with a voice and a vote. After her talk, Thandeka will join the audience for dessert, Fair Trade coffee and conversation. The event is sponsored by the church's Elizabeth Marsh Book Store. The event is free and open to the public. Thandeka will preach on "The Spiritual Power of Our Faith" on Sunday, January 21, at The Unitarian Church in Summit during regular worship services at 9 and 10:30 a.m. The Summit Unitarians are concentrating on the theme, Living Boldly, for the 2007-2007 church year. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's simple, took me two minutes. If we all sign on we can make a difference. Thanks, Maj-Britt Last week, the Democrats launched their "100 hours" agenda--a plan to begin a "new direction for our country." Sadly, it says nothing about the federal government's continued abandonment of those left behind after Katrina. A plan to bring survivors home exists. The Gulf Coast Civic Works Project would hire 100,000 displaced residents who want to return, providing them with training and jobs to rebuild their homes and communities. It's a solution that would rebuild the Gulf by investing in its residents, but Congress won't act without massive public support. More than ever, those of us committed to justice for Katrina survivors must make our voices heard. I've joined ColorOfChange.org in demanding that Congress put Katrina back on the agenda and implement a plan to help displaced residents return and rebuild. I wanted to you let about this effort and invite you to do the same. Just click the link below: http://www.colorofchange.org/gccw/?id=1709-121716 What's being proposed is nothing new. During the Great Depression, the federal government believed it had a responsibility to ensure that those hit hardest did not fall through the cracks. It also knew that those Americans wanted a hand up, not a handout. So, in 1935, Congress created a program to hire out-of-work Americans to get things done to benefit their communities. Within 2 weeks of launching this unprecedented project, over 800,000 people were hired; within 2 months, 4.2 million were working to build bridges, roads, libraries, schools and other public facilities. If we could put 4 million people to work in just 8 weeks in 1935, why can't we immediately put 100,000 people to work rebuilding the Gulf Coast? The Gulf Coast Civic Works Project is a plan that makes sense--for displaced survivors, for the communities of the Gulf Coast, for the nation as a whole. It provides an opportunity to invest in Americans while reversing the most glaring problems that plague current rebuilding plans: gentrification, government waste, and massive corporate profiteering. The Gulf Coast Civic Works Project is a great idea, but it can only happen with a groundswell of public support. You can help by letting Congress know you're behind the idea--it only takes a moment: http://www.colorofchange.org/gccw/?id=1709-121716 Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
