National Religious Partnership for the Environment Host Black Clergy Fly-in

On Nov. 13-14, the National Religious Partnership for the Environment (NRPE), of which NCC is a partner organization, hosted a Black clergy fly-in to discuss the importance of prioritizing new National Monument designations that chronicle Black history. Nine senior leaders, including NCC’s Rev. Dr. Leslie Copeland Tune, participated in meetings with members of Congress and top officials from the U.S. Department of Interior and the Council on Environmental Quality from the Biden Administration to emphasize the importance of telling more complete stories of American history by designating public lands that tell Black history as National Monuments. The leaders shared two reports in the meetings, Stories on the Land: Showcasing Black History on Public Lands and Telling the Stories: Protecting Black History Through Land Conservation.

 

The Stories on the Land report highlights how preserving Black stories through National Monuments designations can counter organized efforts to erase Black History, help protect God’s creation through land and water stewardship, increase accessibility and inclusion to public lands by communities of color, and serve as an important vehicle for healing. The report was compiled through one-on-one interviews with religious leaders and more than 700 responses to a survey in which Black church leaders identified priority stories that needed to be permanently protected through land preservation, including Black heroes and pathfinders, Black schools, slavery and the slave trade, the civil rights movement and massacres and lynching. The Telling the Stories report is a follow-up report that details places connected to the stories named in the Stories on the Land report.

 

Currently, there are numerous places poised for National Monument designation including sites associated with Rosenwald schools, the Springfield Race Riot, Black Wall Street, Freedom Summer, and Charles Young.

 

Clergy attending the meeting in addition to Dr. Copeland Tune, who serves as NRPE’s Board Chair, were: Dr. Warren Stewart, First Institutional Baptist Church (Phoenix), former Exec Secretary Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc.; Rev. Dr. Cardes Brown, New Light Missionary Baptist Church (Greensboro), former President of Greensboro Branch, NAACP;  Imam Abdul'Haq Mohammad, The Nation's Mosque; Rev. Kia Moore, The Church at the Well (Memphis); Dr. Willie Francois, National Justice Director, Progressive National Baptist Convention; Bishop Brian Thompson, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; Rev. Dr. Wallace R. Mills, Jr, President, Baptist Missionary & Education State Convention of Michigan, Pastor, New Ebenezer Baptist Church; and, Rev. Keyon S. Payton, Social Justice Commission Chair, National Baptist Convention of America, President/Founder, Institute of Trauma and Economic Justice, Pastor New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Pontiac, MI. Cassandra Carmichael, NRPE’s Executive Director, organized the Fly-In and scheduled the meetings with members of Congress and the Biden Administration.

Bishop Vashti McKenzie to Receive

2023 Crystal Stair Award

National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) is pleased to announce Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, president/general secretary of the National Council of Churches (NCC), will be the recipient of the Crystal Stair Award at NCNW's signature fundraiser, Uncommon Height Awards Gala, on Dec. 8, at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort in Oxon Hill, Md.


The Crystal Stair Award is presented to an individual who demonstrates a lifetime devoted to the protection of freedom, the pursuit of excellence in their career, and personal dedication to humanity as did Dr. Dorothy I. Height, President Emerita of NCNW.

 

“Class, elegance, strength, power, and success are all characteristics of recipients of the Crystal Stair Award. The recipients have journeyed to reach the pinnacle of service. It takes dedication, endurance, and determination to climb the winding staircase of life, and Bishop McKenzie embodies what this award is with her accomplishments,” said NCNW National Board Chair Dr. A. Lois Keith. “She is very deserving. Bishop McKenzie represents strength and endurance being the first Black female Bishop in the AME church among others. She did not reach it by just saying, ‘I will just follow the powers that be;’ she kept going and endured.”  

 

Full of firsts for women in the faith community, Bishop McKenzie is the first African American woman to hold both the president and general secretary positions at the National Council of Churches. In addition, she was the 117th elected and consecrated bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first female elected to Episcopal office in the more than the two-centuries-old AME Church. Bishop McKenzie is the first female to serve as President of the Council of Bishops and President of the General Board.

 

NCNW President and CEO Shavon Arline-Bradley said, “Whenever I think of a person who has braved breaking the glass ceiling for not just Black women, but women in the faith community, I think of Bishop Murphy McKenzie. We are honored to give her her flowers by awarding her the Crystal Stair Award..”

 

From the signature fundraiser, NCNW hopes to raise $1M to bolster programs coming out of the new era that make a difference and touch lives, not only here in the US, but also abroad.

 

NCNW is an “organization of organizations,” comprised of 330 campus and community-based sections and 33 national women’s organizations that enlighten, inspire, and connect more than 2 million people. Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families, and communities. NCNW was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and activist.

The following excerpts were provided prior to the November 21, announcement of the hostage deal.


We condemn the brutal attacks of Hamas on October 7 that caused the loss of life of nearly 1,400 Israelis and citizens of other nations, and we call for the immediate release of all civilians held hostage. The horrific violence of Hamas does not justify further violence against Palestinian civilians. We condemn the collective punishment imposed upon the more than 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza when, on October 8, the Israeli government cut off water, gas, and electricity, and all goods and supplies to the territory, putting even more pressure on a community already suffering from a humanitarian crisis more than a decade in the making. We further condemn Israel’s large-scale air bombardment and ground invasion that continues to have an indiscriminate and tragically disproportionate impact on civilians. As of November 6, Israel’s unrelenting military assault has killed more than 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 4,000 children, and also included the destruction of hospitals, churches, mosques, cultural centers, and other civilian infrastructure throughout Gaza. The lives of all people, be they Israelis or Palestinians, must be protected. ~ November 9, 2023 Letter to President Biden from 30 Christian Denominational and Organizational Leaders


Because we believe in the imago dei that is in all of us, we have to say an unequivocal “no” to indiscriminate violence, especially against women, babies, elders, and the sick.…For us, the call for cease-fire, humanitarian pause, or just screaming “stop!” are a theological cry. ~ Bishop William J. Barber, II, Repairers of the Breach and Yale Center for Public Theology and Public Policy


The United States must end its complicity immediately and show support for the protection of all human life, advocating for a just and durable resolution to this crisis in which all Israelis and Palestinians might realize a vision of a just peace, illuminating human dignity, advancing security and self-determination for all. ~ Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon, Executive Director, Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP)


The Network of Evangelicals for the Middle East (NEME) supports a just peace in Israel and Palestine. We are deeply concerned with the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza and call for adequate humanitarian assistance to be allowed into Gaza immediately. ~ Mercy Aiken, Network of Evangelicals for the Middle East (NEME)


Contrary to the logic of violence, there is no military solution to this crisis. This is a time for peacemaking — and that starts with a cease-fire. As peacemakers, we must honor the image of God in every Israeli and every Palestinian. ~ Rev. Adam Taylor, President, Sojourners


As Christians, we must maintain our commitment to a non-violent solution to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine. “The first moral duty of all nations is to work together to resolve by peaceful means every dispute that arises between or among them. If we want peace, we must be committed to disrupting these conditions and systems that perpetuate injustice.” ~ Rev. Dr. Susan Henry-Crowe, Leadership Council Member for Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP), Retired United Methodist Clergy


“The pressing need for an immediate bilateral ceasefire cannot be emphasized enough, although it is not enough. Our cries for peace are coupled with our demands for justice. As Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ‘The time is always right to do what is right.’ That time is now.” ~ Rev. Dr. Leslie Copeland-Tune, National Council of Churches

Health Note—Week of December 2, 2023


“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,  

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.” (Matthew 25:35). 

 

In this season of giving, we are reminded that many millions of people around the world are experiencing hunger.  More than 9% of the world’s people are chronically undernourished, and the number of hungry people worldwide is increasing.  In the United States, more than 33 million Americans—including 1 in 8 children—live in a household that lacks food security.  Churches are invited to pray, give, and advocate for an end to world hunger.

Advent: A Focus on Wellbeing

Bishop Teresa E. Snorton, NCC Health Task Force Member


The season of Advent is a time of preparation. As believers, we prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Spiritually, we seek to focus on God’s gift to humanity through the Christ Child. The weekly themes of hope, peace, joy, and love aid us in seeing how God has and is working in our lives.


In our homes and communities, we make preparations that are focused on decorations, gifts, and gatherings with family and friends. If we are not careful, the stress of all these preparations may cause us to lose sight of our health and well-being during this season. Depression, sadness, and anxiety are generally accepted as part of the preparation process, along with overeating and indulging in sweets and delicacies.


This Advent Season, the Health Task Force of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA invites you to make health and wellbeing a part of your holiday preparations. First Corinthians 6:19 reminds us that our bodies are the temple of God, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Because God’s spirit lives in our bodies, and our bodies are a gift from God, caring for our overall health and well-being is another aspect of our faith journey.


Throughout Advent, use its themes to reflect on your desire to maintain or improve your health. Let your prayers be expressions of gratitude, but also a petition to not overlook or compromise the gift of life that God has given us.


HOPE

“For I will restore health to you and your wounds I will heal says the LORD” (Jeremiah 30:17, NRSVue)


No matter what our health habits have been in the past, we have God’s promise of restoration and healing. Our hope lies in this promise from God.


PRAYER: Dear God, as we focus on our preparations for celebrating your gift to the world, may we remain hopeful that no matter what our current situation is, there is always hope. Bring restoration to the pieces of my life, health, and well-being that I may have ignored or taken for granted. AMEN.


PEACE

“A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” (Proverbs 14:30, New Living Translation)


For God did not give us a spirit of fear; but rather a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, KJ21)


Whatever worries and troubles disturb our peace, taking care of our mental health is just as important as attending to our physical health. Peace of mind is essential to growing in the faith.


PRAYER: Holy One, I seek your peace, the kind of peace that can only come from trusting you and relying on you as my source. Grant me peace over any worry or anxiety that may be living in my body. Help me to discover that peace that passes understanding. AMEN.


JOY

 “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22, ESV)


“Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be complete.” (John 16:24, NRSVue)


Poor health will steal your joy! When we are preoccupied with the consequences of habits and choices that undermine our well-being, it is difficult to experience joy. Joy is “good medicine”!


PRAYER: Lord, I desire to live everyday in JOY. Even if my body shows signs of wear and tear or neglect, may my heart and mind be restored to the joy I have found in loving and serving you. AMEN.


LOVE

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22, NRSVue)


When we are healthy — in mind, body, and spirit — it is evidenced as love and a variety of other “fruit” that reflects the spirit of Christ. Love is mentioned first because it leads the way and opens the heart to the presence and spirit of God.


PRAYER: Creator God, this season of Advent is a celebration of your love for humanity. And the greatest gift we can share with one another is love. Keep me in your love, and may I continue to love this body that you have given to me to use as a vessel to worship you and to love and serve others. AMEN.

Democratic Faith Working Group
Sponsors Health Insurance Marketplace Enrollment Campaign

The Democratic Faith Working Group invites participants to join their #Souls2Enroll Outreach with House Democratic Members to spread awareness about the Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period and Medicaid enrollment.

The Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period
(November 1, 2023 — January 15, 2024) at HealthCare.gov.

 

Enroll by December 15 for coverage beginning on January 1.

 

UnidosUS's report released on November 8, “Six Months into Unwinding: History’s Deepest Medicaid Losses Demand State Action,” explains how Medicaid unwinding has impacted Latinos and communities of color and offers recommendations for states to prevent millions of families from losing Medicaid coverage and boost resources to improve public health. The report includes significant contributions from the following organizations: Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF), The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, NAACP, National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), National Urban League, Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund, Coalition on Human Needs, and Protect Our Care.

 

Key findings from the report include:

  • Medicaid losses during six months of unwinding already exceed history’s greatest two-year drop in Medicaid enrollment.

  • States have terminated Medicaid for 10 million people, causing grave harm, especially in communities of color.

  • More than 70% of the people terminated from Medicaid may have been eligible.

  • The depth of Medicaid loss varies by state, to an extraordinary degree.

  • The states with the highest termination rates have not made the investments needed to operate functional Medicaid systems.

  • Key policy strategies for the consideration of state leaders include:

  • Use reliable data to renew eligible families’ coverage.

  • Connect Medicaid families with trained personnel who can complete all paperwork needed to determine Medicaid eligibility.

  • Ensure that Medicaid call centers have well-trained staff in sufficient numbers.

  • Permit and fund the staff of trusted community organizations to interact directly with the state’s eligibility system.

  • Authorize Medicaid managed care organizations to complete the forms required to preserve their members’ Medicaid coverage.

(RNS) — The Rev. Arthur “Art” Simon, the founder and first president of the Christian advocacy group Bread for the World, died Nov. 14 at age 93, the organization announced.

Film Sheds Light on 11 Women Who
Changed the Episcopal Church

‘The Philadelphia Eleven’ depicts the buildup toward the so-called irregular ordination at which four bishops ordained 11 women as priests without the denomination’s approval.


The Philadelphia Eleven, a new documentary dozens of churches are now screening across the country, depicts the buildup toward the so-called irregular ordination at which three bishops (with a fourth observing) ordained 11 women as priests without the denomination’s approval. The ordination — often described as an act of disobedience — caused deep divisions in the church. The women were vilified in the media and in personal attacks. But they also paved a path toward the full embrace of women priests by the denomination two years later, in 1976.

 

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of that irregular ordination and the documentary casts a fresh light on that momentous time and on the methods used to achieve it.

 

Six of the 11 women ordained are still living, and their eloquent testimonies that they are equal to men form the essence of the documentary.

 

The film's producer, independent, Massachusetts-based filmmaker, Marto Guernsey said she had never heard about the Philadelphia 11 until she had a phone conversation with one of its leaders, the Rev. Carter Heyward, and came away wanting to know more. 

 

Guernsey set about filling in that gap in her knowledge. It turned into an eight-year odyssey that included interviews with the surviving Philadelphia 11 and the people around them, deep dives into reams of archival footage and, most difficult of all, raising money for the documentary, underwritten by 1,200 individuals.

 

Several of the Philadelphia 11 are now attending the church screenings. Wider distribution of the documentary is expected in late 2024.

African Ecumenical Group
Elects First Female President

The Rev. Lydia Chituku Neshangwe, a Presbyterian minister, as become the first woman to lead the ecumenical All Africa Conference of Churches.

 

NAIROBI, Kenya (RNS) — The All Africa Conference of Churches has elected its first woman as president of the ecumenical organization, which represents some 200 million Christians on the continent.

 

On Nov. 22, the Rev. Lydia Chituku Neshangwe, a Presbyterian minister, became the first woman to lead the 60-year-old organization, which consists of Protestant, Orthodox and Indigenous African churches.

 

“This is a most humbling call which challenges me to give my gifts and talents in what is a journey of discovery for both myself and the AACC community,” Neshangwe told Religion News Service. “It affirms to me that when God calls, God has no gender, age or class.”

 

Neshangwe, 50, hopes her election will encourage women in Africa at a time when fewer women on the continent are making it to top leadership positions in churches. African women should not give up looking to God, she said, because the forebears paved the way for them.

Action Alert: Mobilize Co-sponsors for
Racial Equity Legislation

Members of Congress are mobilizing to garner more co-sponsors on key Racial Equity legislation on Reparations and Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT).

 

On November 29, a Congressional Briefing convened at the U.S. Capital to highlight and build political momentum for critical Racial Equity efforts as 2024 and the next election draw closer.

 

The nation is vulnerable to racial inequity, a persisting issue in America. Congress must challenge the generational effects from America’s historical racist practices and structures that subjugated minority communities. Current challenges of racial equity include institutional racism, unequal access to education and job opportunities, discriminatory policing, and disparities in healthcare. To combat this, racial equity legislation must address the systemic inequalities and discrimination while aiming to eliminate barriers that certain racial or ethnic groups may face.

 

The following legislations seek to address racial inequality as a bipartisan effort by addressing historical and institutional disparities. The need for equity, truth, healing, reconciliation, and repair remains an urgent matter in America, and it must be done together.

 

Summary of Racial Equity Legislation

 

H.R.40/S.40 - Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act

  • This legislation is a significant step toward addressing the historical injustices faced by African Americans, particularly in the context of slavery and its aftermath.

  • The establishment of a commission to study and develop reparation proposals demonstrates a commitment to acknowledging the deep-rooted impacts of slavery and discrimination on African-American communities.

  • This bill aims to pave the way for meaningful discussions on reparations and redress by compiling historical evidence and analyzing discriminatory policies. 


S.40 — Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act


 • • • • • • •


H.Con.Res.44/S.Con.Res.19 – Urging the Establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT)

  • This concurrent resolution underscores the importance of truth, racial healing, and transformation in the United States.

  • It acknowledges the enduring legacies of historical injustices against people of color and the need to address them comprehensively.

  • The proposed U.S. Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation would serve as a vital mechanism for fostering understanding, reconciliation, and equitable change.



  • • • • • • •


H.Res.414 – Reparations Now


 This resolution reaffirms the moral and legal obligation of the United States to provide reparations for the historical enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on Black communities.

  • It recognizes the importance of acknowledging past wrongs and taking concrete steps toward reparative justice.

  • The resolution aligns with growing calls for reconciliation and redress in the United States.
