Evaluation Forms CONFERENCE PARTNERS April 5, 2019 Dear Revolutionary Movement Builder, On behalf of Middle Church, the Middle Project, and all of our partners, welcome to Revolutionary Love: The Politics of Faith. This is our 13th convening of leaders like you, whose hearts are broken at the state of our union, who share a deep commitment to perfect our democracy with love that demands liberty and justice for all. And this time, our team has set the most diverse table to date in terms of not only ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and faith practice, but also perspective on the issues that plague our nation. We will listen deeply to one another, have the #DifficultDiscussions and the #CourageousConversations. We might not leave in agreement on all things, but we will teach each other, and lay a foundation for the platforms we need to build on the way to the 2020 election. When we gather this much diversity, when we are not necessarily preaching to the choir, there can be conflict. We welcome healthy conflict, and we hope you will too. Below are some norms with which we will begin our work; and you will, as a learning community, help set more, to guide our work and engagement with each other. At Middle Church, we believe #LoveTransforms, and can guide us into a future in which our communities can thrive. We share our sister Valarie Kaur's understanding that Revolutionary Love is the call of our times. Movements are messy, friend, but guided by revolutionary love, we can keep moving, together. There is too much at stake, nothing less than healing the soul of our nation. We are so thrilled we are in this movement, together. Please let our team know anything we can do to make this journey a rich one for you. In Revolutionary Love, The Reverend Jacqui Lewis, Ph.D. • Senior Minister, Middle Collegiate Church Speak in the moment from the heart. Speak only for yourself, using “I” statements. Be lean of speech. Listen from the heart.

  • Cooper Square Committee Chrono
    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

    What is art & soul?

Worship at night, outside and in between the lines. Fantastic music that makes you get off your feet or weep. Sermons that are bold, meaningful, and make you think. A safe space to be unsure of Spirit, but to lean into it anyway. A powerful pause from the busy, and a way to jumpstart your heart. Art & Soul is The Word Made Art.

  • Middle Collegiate Church
    Middle Collegiate Church Grace Yukich Princeton University We know that mainline Protestant churches are in decline and that urban populations are less churched than suburban and rural populations are. Middle Collegiate Church, located in the East Village in New York City, is successfully bucking these trends. It is a thriving congregation with a large, growing membership, committed clergy and lay leaders, and a diverse set of artistic, spiritual, and outreach programs. Perhaps even more surprising, Middle is increasingly attracting and engaging young adults. Around 15 percent of the church’s regular participants in weekly worship and other activities are between 18 and 35. How has Middle Church been able to combat the forces of decline that have plagued so many mainline Protestant churches, especially ones in urban areas? History and Mission of Middle Church Middle has not always been this successful. It is the oldest continuously existing Protestant church in the United States, and it has a very large endowment due to its ownership of various parts of Manhattan over the years. Still, its historic status and its financial resources have not always been enough to attract new members. Over the past 25 years, it has undergone a dramatic transformation from a dying church of only a handful of elderly members, no programming, and a decaying building to its present flourishing state. In the early 1980s, when the church’s denomination (the Reformed Church in America) and the local organization of churches of which it is a member (The Collegiate Churches of New York) were considering closing it, they brought in a new pastor—Rev.

  • East Village/Lower East Side Manhattan the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A GUIDE TO HISTORIC NEW YORK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS EAST VILLAGE/LOWER EAST SIDE ManhaTTan The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach pres- ervation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces—are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust. Additional support for Six to Celebrate is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Depart- ment of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Margaret Chin, Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Sara Gonzalez, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

  • This Lively Downtown Neighborhood Has Been a Center of Bohemian Lifestyle Since the Early 1900S
    This lively downtown neighborhood has been a center of bohemian lifestyle since the early 1900s. Home to jazz clubs in the 1920s, to 1960s hippy havens and 1980s punk rock clubs, the East Village has always had an edginess that the West Village (a.k.a. Greenwich Village) lacks. During Dutch colonial days, much of the East Village was farmland owned by Dutch colonial Governor Peter Stuyvesant. Its18th century pastoral setting gave way to 19th century wealth followed by 20th century bohemianism and is now a 21st century playland filled to the brim with bars, lounges, cheap restaurants and haute cuisine, boutiques, vintage shops and more. The most special thing about the East Village is free: the authenticity and energy you will feel when you stroll its streets. Be sure to check out our self-guided tour of Greenwich Village (West Village) as well as ​ ​ our full list of self-guided NYC tours. ​ ​ We recommend that you start this tour in Astor Place. Astor Place is located on the western boundary of the East Village. Use this Google map link for directions to Astor ​ Place. If you are considering purchasing a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket, most companies ​ offer stops in or just nearby Astor Place. Read our comparison post on New York bus ​ tours. ​ Click here for a larger interactive East Village Tour Map ​ Stop A - Astor Place This short two block street, running east from Broadway to Lafayette Street is named after John Jacob Astor, who was the richest person in America when he died in 1848.

  • The Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg Mayor of the City of New York City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor Bloomberg: We
    The Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg Mayor of the City of New York City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor Bloomberg: We, the members of the Campaign for Children, urge you to ensure that your Executive Budget includes funding for the 47,000 child care and after-school slots currently slated for elimination. The Campaign for Children is a partnership between The Emergency Coalition to Save Child Care and the NYC Youth Alliance. Given the bleak outlook for these critical systems that enable low-income parents to work and provide essential educational supports to children, we are partnering to advocate for the resources needed to maintain capacity in Fiscal Year 2013. In addition, we are launching this Campaign to urge your administration to fully fund the vision for high-quality child care and after-school programs laid out in the EarlyLearn and Out-of-School Time (OST) RFPs. The Fiscal Year 2013 (FY13) Preliminary Budget, combined with the EarlyLearn NYC (EarlyLearn) and Out-of-School Time (OST) RFPs, will cut child care and after-school programs for 47,000 children. This means that 47,000 fewer children will have the services and resources necessary to ensure their future success, and that their working parents will be forced to make potentially unsafe arrangements for their children in order to keep their jobs and maintain their livelihoods. We support your efforts to close the achievement gap and prioritize education for our city’s children. However, we are very concerned that this is the fifth straight year that child care and after-school programs have been cut in the budget process.

  • Chapter 7: Historic Resources
    Chapter 7: Historic Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential of the proposed actions to affect historic resources, both archaeological and architectural. It has been prepared in accordance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) guidelines, which require that City agencies consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. In accordance with CEQR guidelines, this analysis identifies all historic resources that have been designated or determined to meet the eligibility requirements for local, state, or national designation, and it also identifies properties that may meet such eligibility requirements. In assessing potential project effects on historic resources, this analysis follows the guidance of the CEQR Technical Manual. The CEQR Technical Manual recommends that a historic resources assessment be performed if a proposed action would result in any of the following actions: in-ground disturbance; new construction; physical alteration of any building; the change in scale, visual context, or visual setting of any building, structure, object, or landscape feature; or the screening or elimination of publicly accessible views; even if no known historic resources are located nearby. Since the proposed actions are expected to generate some of these results, a full analysis under CEQR was undertaken. As described more fully below, the proposed actions would result in significant adverse impacts on historic resources. There would be direct impacts on 141 sites. With respect to archaeological resources, there would be impacts on 23 potential development sites. The sites are located at 139 East Houston Street, 32-36 East 3rd Street, 28 East 2nd Street, 239 East 3rd Street, 740 East 6th Street, 258-266 East 7th Street, 271 East 7th Street, 349 East 10th Street, 101 East 7th Street, 64 East 3rd Street, 100 East 4th Street, 68 East 7th Street, 73 St.
