SUMMARY:Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits: Angie Wright’s Book Party! (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the release of Angie Wright’s powerful new memoir\, Loving My Enemies & Other Outlandish Pursuits\, with RCWMS!  \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening at Night School Bar\, where Rev. Angie will share insights on faith\, family\, power\, and the ways they shape our world.  \nThis memoir 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? \nPurchase the book: HERE.

SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women’s Self Care\, with Kim Gaubault - January 2026
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. \nJanuary: This Time\, I’m Centering Me \nFebruary: Making History: Financial Literacy and Other Forms of Liberation \nMarch: Women’s History Month: Black Girl Magic Now\, Then\, Forever \nRegister for JANUARY below. \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.

SUMMARY:READING: Proclamation Beyond the Pulpit by Chelsea Yarborough
DESCRIPTION:RCWMS is pleased to invite you to join us for a reading by Chelsea Yarborough from her new book\, Proclamation Beyond the Pulpit: The Expansive Homiletical Practice of Black Women (Baylor\, 2025). \nPreaching is typically considered to be a practice confined to ministry within the institutional church. Studies of preaching are often filtered through the lens of the pulpit\, with Black women rarely featured as central figures. Proclamation Beyond the Pulpit lifts up Sojourner Truth\, Nannie Helen Burroughs\, and Fannie Lou Hamer as crucial sources for homiletic theory. Chelsea Yarborough introduces a methodology for preaching that arises from the witness and practices of these three Black women non-pulpit preachers\, expanding our understanding of proclamation beyond traditional notions of its nature and purpose. \nThis shift away from the limitations of the pulpit into the public sphere and beyond has deep roots in the preaching legacy of Black women. Often denied places of authority in the church\, Black women have carved out spheres for their proclamation\, teaching us that the essence and purpose of preaching is less about place and more about impact and practice. By centering the lives and ministries of three historical Black women preachers who preached beyond the pulpit\, Yarborough highlights a lineage of expansive homiletical possibilities and offers valuable insights for preachers across diverse platforms. \n\n\nRev. Dr. Chelsea Brooke Yarborough\, PhD\, is the Associate Director of Leadership Programming at the Association of Theological Schools. She is a preacher\, an ordained minister in the Baptist tradition\, a poet\, leadership coach and an enneagram teacher. She serves as a trustee for RCWMS. \n\n\nPre-order the book: HERE. \n\nPlease REGISTER for the reading by selecting a free ticket below.
