Registration for the Fall 2012 Progressive Brethren Gathering is now open!
Head on over now to sign up for “Holy Work: Becoming Beloved Community” at LaVerne Church of the Brethren, October 26-28, 2012.
Featured guests include Abigail A. Fuller, Associate Professor of Sociology and Chair, Dept. of Sociology and Social Work, at Manchester University & Katy Gray Brown, Associate professor of philosophy and peace studies at Manchester University. Professors Abby and Katy will help deepen our understanding of social change theory, non-violent action, and the dynamics and configuration of successful social movements. We will also have opportunities to explore how the Civil Rights, Anti-War, Labor, Feminist, and the LGBT Movements have impacted the Church of the Brethren, as well as how they can continue to guide us as we struggle to grow as a Beloved Community.
There will also be plenty of opportunities for group discussion, a film screening, and a special music and worship experience “Songs of the Movement” led by LaVerne musicians.

The Progressive Brethren Gathering is a collaborative venture of Open Table Cooperative, Womaen’s Caucus, and the Brethren Mennonite Council for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Interests. We hope to see many of our friends and supporters at this special event this fall!
