Reimagining Justice through Restorative Justice

Sunday, November 16 | 11:15 am - 12:45 pm | Parish Hall
The Restorative Justice approach to crime brings together the people who are directly impacted (perpetrator and victim) to identify harms, needs and obligations created by the offense. Restorative Justice seeks to heal and put things as right as possible by encouraging communication, seeing other viewpoints, and taking responsibility. The roots of Restorative Justice are ancient and its applications are myriad, including in the criminal justice system and in personal relationships and community groups. Through presentation, discussion and role play, we will explore its use. EVENT FLYER

Outreach and Social Justice Book Discussion:
“Jesus Changes Everything” by Stanley Hauerwas

Tuesday, November 18 | 6:00 pm | Chapel
“Jesus Changes Everything,” is not just the book’s title, but the Gospel Good News. Each of the short essays offer insights into some of our contemporary cultural challenges and how we can respond as followers of Jesus.  Prof. Hauerwas is very clear that our responses must originate and be grounded in Christian community; we cannot follow Jesus alone.  He is unrelenting in his call to the Gospel’s integrity of love; and just as committed to repent of his own cultural sins of fear and doubt.  He truly believes that living publicly in Christian community, with Jesus, changes everything!

Music Notes

Hymn 413: New songs of Celebration

This is a paraphrase of Psalm 98, made in 1972 for an ecumenical hymnal of the World Council of Churches, Cantate Domino. It is a fresh and vivid rendering of praise to God from all of creation, in which we are privileged to join. Erik Routley, who wrote this dynamic version, was perhaps the most influential leader of the revival in hymn writing in the second half of the twentieth century, the “hymn explosion.” Born and educated in England, Dr. Routley came to teach at Princeton Theological Seminary and the Westminster Choir College in 1975. The tune is, appropriately, from the Geneva Psalter. - Donna Wessel Walker
