SUMMARY:Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits: Angie Wright's Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:RCWMS is pleased to announce the publication of Angie Wright’s new book\, Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits. We warmly invite you to join us for the launch! \nThis memoir of faith\, family\, and power follows Rev. Angie Wright’s commitment as an activist and pastor to stand against hate without indulging the temptation of hating the haters. In her story\, spirituality meets social justice and betrayal pushes against the ethic of forgiveness. Rev. Wright probes questions most of us have to face at times in our  lives: How do we reconsider our relationship with people we’ve been  taught to hate and fear? And when others wreak harm on us or our communities\, can we respond in ways that summon their humanity while protecting our own? \n\n\nAngie Wright has always liked starting trouble—good trouble\, as John Lewis called it. She was the founding pastor of Beloved Community United Church of Christ in downtown Birmingham\, Alabama\, where she served for sixteen years. She was a founder of Alabama Arise and a leader in the statewide effort to overturn Alabama’s anti-immigrant law. She served on the staff and boards of numerous local\, regional\, and national justice organizations. Angie takes immeasurable joy in her splendid sons: Luke\, a musician in Hillsborough\, NC\, and Frank\, who raises cows and lives in Costa Rica with his eight-year-old son\, Kai.  Now retired\, Angie lives in Hillsborough and spends her time  gardening\, hanging out with family\, and doing her part to stop the downfall of democracy. \n\n\nPre-order the book: HERE. \n\nPlease REGISTER for the reading by selecting a free ticket below. Registrants will receive both a receipt and a separate email with a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation. Please check your spam and/or promotions folder if you don’t receive one or both of these emails. We will also be sending Zoom link reminders just before the event.
