SUMMARY:Ancestral Wisdom: For the Struggle for Liberation-Lecture Series at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church
DESCRIPTION:This year’s lecture series\, Ancestral Wisdom: For the Struggle for Liberation\, features Dr. Sarah Azaransky\, Associate Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. \nOver the two days\, she will lecture on the themes of her most recent book\, This Worldwide Struggle.  Read more about Dr. Azaransky HERE. \nSchedule of Events \nDay 1: Friday\, April 4 — 7-9 pm in Finlator Hall (Book Talk and Reception) \nDr. Sarah Azaransky will discuss her latest book\, This Worldwide Struggle: Religion and the International Roots of the Civil Rights Movement. It identifies a network of Black Christian intellectuals and activists who looked abroad (including in other religious traditions) for ideas and practices that could transform American democracy. From the 1930s to the 1950s\, they drew lessons from independence movements around the world for an American racial justice campaign. The book reveals fertile intersections of worldwide resistance movements\, American racial politics\, and interreligious exchanges that crossed literal borders and disciplinary boundaries. \nA complimentary reception will follow. \nDay 2: Saturday. April 5 — 10 am-1:30 pm in Finlator Hall \nDr. Azaransky will offer some reflections. An interfaith panel will follow featuring Latifat Odetunde\, Hima Thaker\, Bianca Richardson\, and Caleb Panton. The discussion will center on how our movements for justice today might draw from the spiritual wisdom of the ancestors in Dr. Azaransky’s work — including Bayard Rustin\, Pauli Murray\, Howard Thurman\, and Martin Luther King Jr. \nThis event is co-sponsored by RCWMS & Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice. \nCost: $5 (donation)\, $10 (includes lunch)\, $15 (sponsor a lunch). \nRegister for Saturday : HERE \nLearn more: HERE \nContact: news@pullen.org

SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women’s Self Care\, April 2025 – with Kim Gaubault (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \n April 2025: Promises\, Promises: Committed to Our Progress\nMay 2025: I Feel it in My Bones: We Know What We Know\n June 2025: Dealing with Shrinkage: Imposter Syndrome\, Hair Journeys and Taking Up Space in this Skin\nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 per session. Choose the price that fits your budget. \nRegister for  April: HERE. May: HERE. June: HERE \nRegistrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
