An Evening of Prayerful Repentance and Reconciliation
As a part of their Drum Majors for Love, Truth and Justice partnership, Dr. John M. Perkins and Dr. Paul Louis Metzger will join Dr. Leroy Haynes, Jr. on Sunday, April 11 at Allen Temple CME Church (4236 NE 8th Ave.) to lead a focused time of seeking God’s transformation of the broken relational structures that have erected barriers between the white church and African-American church.

An Evening of Inspiration: breaking down racial barriers
At this introductory event to Owning the Pond Together: developing communities through entrepreneurship, Dr. Paul Louis Metzger will confess that the white church has historically failed to engage the black church with a sense of relational need. Together, Dr. Metzger and Dr. John M. Perkins will urge the church to long for authentic and holistic solidarity. With such a vision in mind, they will lay the foundation for what it means to “own the pond together.”
Join us for this FREE event on Friday, April 9th from 7:00 – 9:00pm at Emmanuel Temple Church (1033 N. Sumner; Portland).

Duke’s Summer Institute
The 2010 Duke Divinity School Summer Institute (presented by the Duke Center for Reconciliation), “The Ministry of Reconciliation in a Divided World” will be held May 31 – June 5th. It will be five days of reflection, formation, renewal and going deep for Christian leaders.
The Duke Summer Institute is not a conference for the many but a learning space limited to 200 Christian leaders to go deep. Over five days of renewal and learning with Christian leaders from across the U.S. and world – through worship, shared meals, plenary sessions, and in-depth cohorts – you will be led by world-class theologians and practitioners of reconciliation and justice ministry. In 2009 there were participants from 23 states and 7 countries. Your fellow participants this summer will include a cohort from east Africa, senior leadership teams from national organizations, several groups from cities and Christian colleges and universities, and leaders from the grassroots to churches to national and international organizations as well as lay Christians concerned about their families, communities and places of worship, work, and life. Scholarships are available through April 9th. Applications will be accepted online through May 7th. Click here for more information and to apply.
