SOCIAL JUSTICE – Opportunities to Make a Difference Now!
Thanks to Aletha, Karen and Mary for attending the GBIO delegates assembly Tuesday, April 8, and to all who supported them with their prayers! In an historic moment Temple Emanuel, the largest Conservative synagogue in New England, opened its doors to Christians and Muslims and enthusiastically agreed to work together on issues of common social concern such as youth, health and elder care. The state Director of Elder Affairs agreed to all of GBIO's demands for upgrading and publicizing the elder care hotline and website, 800 AGEINFO. Please talk with Aletha, Karen, Mary or Tom to find out more about the assembly, GBIO, the forum at St. James's next week and the upcoming meeting of 1200 delegates May 27 at Boston University.
Sunday, April 20, 12:30 : GBIO forum at St. James’s with Fran Early, Organizer for GBIO and member of Trinity Church.
Thursday, May 27, 7:00 – 9:30 pm : Action meeting with Governor, the Mayor of Boston and other officials to agree on actions to address youth safety, health care and elder care. Fifty parishioners needed to attend this meeting!
