SUMMARY:Supreme Court Review
DESCRIPTION:Emmanuel Lutheran Episcopal Church in Augusta will offer a talk by Dr. James Melcher\, professor of Political Science at University of Maine\, Farmington\, previewing\, reviewing and updating our expectations of the US Supreme Court’s activity in the coming year. In this time of great political uncertainty\, Melcher’s commitment to mutual understanding in political conversation and his continued cautious optimism about the American democratic experiment offer hope for those whose faith in our nation may be feeling shaky. “As a church\, we are happy to support this learning opportunity\, which will empower all to discuss our society’s current concerns from a place of understanding and hope\,” says Emmanuel’s rector\, the Rev. Ben Cooke.

SUMMARY:ICE Them Out: Protecting Our Neighbors Across Maine
DESCRIPTION:This solidarity rally\, organized by Safiya Khalid\, is a strong and public display of support for our immigrant neighbors as we respond to ICE activity in Lewiston and Portland. \nNote to clergy: Right now our public expression of solidarity is critical and we are asking clergy and faith leaders from around the state to attend. There will be a moment in the rally when faith leaders are invited to the front of the gathering. While there is time for one faith-based speaker\, our primary message will be visual—a mass of us standing together shoulder to shoulder in unwavering support. We know some of you are traveling to MN this weekend and some of you will be with your own faith communities at 12 p.m. If you fill out this form and note that you will not attend in person\, we will publicly count you among the number of those standing in solidarity from afar. \nPlease be prepared to protest peacefully! See the Protesting Faithfully Toolkit  and find more tips and resources here.

SUMMARY:Diocesan Online Compline
DESCRIPTION:Pray compline with the diocese for the next three Mondays (Jan. 26\, Feb. 2\, Feb. 9) at 7 p.m. led by our clergy and broadcast on our YouTube channel. \nWe will join together throughout the diocese to pray for our community as our vulnerable neighbors face increased ICE activity. \nLet not the beauty of the world be hidden\, O God\, by the passing clouds of ugliness; and let not the goodness of which we are capable be obscured by the evil of which we are often unconscious instruments. Keep our eyes open to the beauty that is always present\, and blind us not to the ugliness which always threatens to spoil it. May we be continually prepared to see the goodness that is in humans\, and at the same time be not unmindful of the evil into which we so easily slip. We ask these things in remembrance of him who had the eyes to see both the goodness and the meanness of people. Amen. \nFrom Theodore Parker Ferris
