Good
Friday Walk for Justice 2009 Prayer Guide
Available here!
 The
29th Annual Good Friday Walk for Justice stems from the Christian
tradition of the Stations of the Cross -- Jesus' walk to his
execution. The social issues
of our time are incorporated with the Stations of the Cross.
Our 2009 theme is Who Will
Carry the Word? To Remember - To Speak - To Act - To
Imagine. This theme speaks of the 8th Day Center's belief
that each of us must bear the responsibility not to forget those who
suffer at the hands of dominating and abusive power.
» Your
co-sponsorship with the presenters keeps this project on our
annual calendar. Sponsorship
form available. Sponsor online here:
Urban Plunge
 8th Day Center
organizes
an annual
urban plunge. The Urban Plunge tries to show some systemic problems
that
plague urban communities as well as presenting creative solutions and
progressive
social movements. Although it is designed primarily for people in
formation
in religious congregations it is open to other interested participants.
Throughout the week the
participants
embarked on an immersion experience visiting organizations that dealt
with
issues such as affordable and public housing, the prison system,
health care, police brutality, predatory lending, racial profiling, and
homelessness. They also spent time with communities and churches that
respond
to these issues. Below are some photos from past Urban Plunges.
The recent invitation, registration form and a sample of
previous schedule.
Send registrations by 2/28/09 please or call office
for more information.
