  • Daryl Davis 1 RICHARD
    Let’s Find Common Ground: Daryl Davis 1 RICHARD: As we record this episode, cities are erupting over racial injustice, communities of color facing visible threats. Leaders who should bring us together seem incapable of doing so. This is Let's Find Common Ground. I'm Richard Davies. ASHLEY: And I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte. We speak today with musician, activist, author, and band leader Daryl Davis, a Black man who spent well over 30 years speaking with and, at times, befriending white supremacists. RICHARD: We hear from Daryl about his extraordinary quest and strategy to improve race relations and find common ground. Welcome to Let's Find Common Ground, Daryl. DARYL: Thank you. Thank you both very much for having me. ASHLEY: Daryl, before we hear this story, we're doing this interview at a time of national despair and deep anger over racial injustice. What's your response to the killing of George Floyd in police custody and to everything that's happened since? DARYL: Well, one, a lot of anger, a lot of frustration that must be channeled into communication and dialogue, not police training as everybody wants to say. Training has nothing to do with it. When you're out there selecting a particular group of people, in this case Black people, and you're not treating white people the same way, it has nothing to do with training. It has to do with humanity. ASHLEY: You emphatically said training is not the answer. What's an alternative? DARYL: An alternative is having regular meetings with your community explaining police procedure, listening to your community about their concerns and their fears of the police.

  • 103 Oyinbo Ọmọ Aṣogun Dere: an Analysis of Racial Injustice, Gun Violence, and Sexual Assault in America Through a Tradi
    The Journal of Interreligious Studies Issue 23, May 2018| http://www.irstudies.org Oyinbo Ọmọ Aṣogun Dere: An Analysis of Racial Injustice, Gun Violence, and Sexual Assault in America through a Traditional Yoruba Religious Perspective Ayodeji Ogunnaike With all of the violence and death that occurred in America in the summer of 2016, it seems that the discussion of the issues surrounding these and similar events has failed to lead us out of the current predicament. By analyzing the myths, rituals, and traditions of the Yoruba deity Ogun, this paper seeks to provide an indigenous Yoruba perspective on the current issues of violence, death, social isolation, social inequality, and sexual assault and harassment in American society and institutions of higher learning. With American society’s emphasis on progress, hard work, technology, and force in the form of guns and military might, it argues that we are living in an “Age of Ogun,” but will need to learn to interact with him properly in order to resolve these terrifying and related issues. Keywords: Ogun, Yoruba, guns, violence, sexual assault, injustice, United States, universities Ọjọ Ogun, On days when Ogun is angered, Ṣi lo, ṣi lo, ṣilo, ni ma sẹ aiye. There is always disaster in the world Dugbe dugbe a gba ode oorun kẹkẹ. The World is full of dead people going to heaven Ipe npe ju a si kun fe kun. The eyelashes are full of water Otopako a ṣi kun fẹ jẹ. Tears stream down the face Parangada ni a da fọmọ odo A bludgeoning by Ogun causes man’s downfall Abiri, abihun a simu oriṣa.

  • APRIL 2019-Fake News and Trust, Blame and Responsibility
    ROTARY DISTRICT 5440 PEACEBUILDER NEWSLETTER APRIL 2019 NUMBER 20 FAKE NEWS AND TRUST, BLAME AND RESPONSIBILITY William M. Timpson, Bob Meroney, Lloyd Thomas and Del Benson, Fort Collins Rotary Club Lindsey Pointer, 2017 Rotary Global Grant Scholarship Recipient In these newsletters of the Rotary District Peacebuilders, we want to invite readers for contributions and ideas, suggestions and possibilities for our efforts to promote the foundational skills for promoting peace, i.e., nonviolent conflict resolution, improved communication and cooperation, successful negotiation and mediation as well as the critical and creative thinking that can help communities move through obstacles and difficulties. The Rotary Foundation has six priority areas: (1) Promoting peace; (2) Fighting disease; (3) Providing clean water; (4) Saving mothers and children; (5) Supporting education; and (6) Growing local economies. It has been argued by staff at Rotary International (RI) that long with promoting peace, “sustainability” is another cross-cutting priority that connects with all the others. RI has directed efforts in these six areas to enhance local and global impact and staff indicate that their most successful and sustainable projects and activities tend to fall within these areas: See the RI website: https://my.rotary.org/en/learning-reference/about-rotary/our-priorities If you would you like to respond to one of the pieces in this newsletter, check out our blog www.rotarypeacebuilder.com and join the conversation! If you would like to contribute to a future newsletter, visit www.rotarypeacebuilder.com/submit/. The topic for next month's newsletter is on “Unarmed Peacemakers.” Future issues are looking at the following: June: Innovations in Peacemaking—What has Worked? July: Are Humans Inherently Aggressive of Violent? August: Preemptive War and its Impact on Peacebuilding.

    Tuesday, June 8 2205 – Tackling Your Internalized Anti-blackness Workshop Track: Intersectionality, Identities, and Discussions Description: This anti-blackness workshop will help youth, adults, and professionals to address their fears, misunderstandings, and assumptions about black people. We will equip people with practical tools to address their own anti-black behaviors and thoughts in everyday life, assist people in healing with their trauma from incidents with black people, and most importantly, provide a space for people to reflect! Participants will be able to discuss in small groups and the larger group. This workshop is for those who sincerely want to tackle their internalized anti- blackness, no matter the age. Presenters: Consuela Rosalee Hendricks, Co-president, Co-founder, People Matter—Chicago, IL Angela Xinli Lin, Co-president, Co-founder, People Matter—Chicago, IL 2206 – Writing for Social Justice: Promoting Diverse Voices and Social Change Through Written Words Track: Race and Social Justice in Higher Education Description: Journal articles, practitioner handbooks, dissertations, and manuscripts offer significant opportunities to investigate and promote social justice through writing. Yet, various factors often present challenges to engaging in and completing written works, including competition between writing and personal or work responsibilities, fears of failure and writing blocks, and reactions to feedback or rejection. This session explores how to survive and even thrive during a social justice writing project. Through large and small group discussion, participants will engage with “consultant/facilitators” who have expertise with several writing areas, and who will provide concrete information and promote the exchange of insights and strategies based on the experiences of participants.

  • July / August 2020 Bethlehem United Church of Christ
    July / August 2020 Bethlehem United Church of Christ Parables, God’s Kingdom Is Like By Rev. John Kennedy “Jesus, told another story. “God’s kingdom is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. That night, while his hired men were asleep, his enemy sowed thistles all through the wheat and slipped away before dawn. When the first green shoots appeared and the grain began to form, the thistles showed up, too. “The farmhands came to the farmer and said, ‘Master, that was clean seed you planted, wasn’t it? Where did these thistles come from?’ “He answered, ‘Some enemy did this.’ “The farmhands asked, ‘Should we weed out the thistles?’ “He said, ‘No, if you weed the thistles, you’ll pull up the wheat, too. Let them grow together until harvest time. Then I’ll instruct the harvesters to pull up the thistles and tie them in bundles for the fire, then gather the wheat and put it in the barn.’” Matthew 13:24-30 The Greek word for parable (para-bole, is Para = alongside and bole = throwing or casting) and means “something cast beside, to explain or clarify”. Jesus, used this rhetorical style to help explain, by comparing. Theologian, Dr. Eugen Boring, explains that “the point of each parable is eschatological (the presence of the kingdom on earth), not a general moralism. This kingdom is in the process of becoming, and that understanding the kingdom in Jesus’ message is both “already and “not yet’”. In the Parable of the Wheat and the Thistles, Jesus is explaining that God’s kingdom is already planted and at work but the process is still ongoing.
