In a report to the October 2017 CPMM newsletter I summarized my year-and-a-half travel in the ministry of equality featuring the book Viking Economics.  Starting in 2016, I travelled to 20 states and four foreign countries, usually at the initiative of Friends but also speaking at bookstores, universities, and other public forums.

For several years, many CPMM members and attenders have been showing up at the Monthly Meeting Room at 9:30 on the third Sunday of the month for Sharing Our Spiritual Journeys sponsored by Worship & Ministry. Over the next nine or ten months, Worship & Ministry and Adult Religious Education will share this time slot. The series for sharing spiritual journeys will continue some third Sundays at 9:30; Adult Religious Education will host other events on other third Sundays at 9:30.

“CHAT AND CHEW”!

Picnic sponored by CPMM’s Membership Care Committee

Click the Chat and Chew title link above to read more.

The Chat & Chew Picnic is a sort of ‘mixer’, an opportunity for folks to get together and get to know each other more deeply. The food and table topics are enablers to help us sit around and share with each other. Over the years, we have noted that small groups help nurture our community.Chat & Chew is a small group opportunity with minimal commitment!

Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting to act on Mass Incarceration

On May 14, 2017, CPMM approved the following minute on mass incarceration:

As Quakers, we are proud of our abolitionist forebears.  To continue to claim that legacy with integrity we cannot be silent in the face of the 21st century face of slavery:  mass incarceration.  Silence is complicity.
