CoPro 101: Ecumenism and Collaboration in Madison [with Pastor Marcio Sierra]

In this first episode of the "CoPro 101" series, we talk with Marcio Sierra about the context of ecumenism in the last few decades in Madison and his experience of pursuing unity in The Church. We see Pastor Marcio as an exemplar in the sphere of ecumenical work and are glad to get to help share his story more widely, in hopes that we each can identify with different parts and consider what collaboration or even more simply, the pursuit of relationship, can look like for us. https://www.collaborationproject.us/register?category=FlourishFest [https://www.collaborationproject.us/register?category=FlourishFest]

Poverty: Welfare and The Circles of Responsibility (E4) with Dan Meyer

Professor Dan Meyer sits down with Rebecca Cooks to share about the responsibility to not only support the poor but to consider the policies that impact those in need. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway." Registration for the KJS dinner groups on Friday March 7th close Friday, February 28th, so register ASAP. ⁠https://www.kingdomjusticesummit.com/register-2025⁠ [https://www.kingdomjusticesummit.com/register-2025]
