Please join Rev. Jim Wallis and people from all across Central Texas at the Texas State Capitol south steps on May 13 @ 5 p.m. as we rally for hope & grace. We'll have time to connect around the question:
How are we called to end extreme poverty, to care for creation, to embody mercy?
This is not a political event - so many of us feel that politics is broken. No party, church or institution has all the answers. This is a rally for hope, what some might consider a holy time to connect & hold a sense of what can be.
Rev. Jim Wallis is a bestselling author, public theologian, speaker, preacher, and commentator on religion and public life, faith and politics. His latest book is The Great Awakening: Reviving Faith & Politics in a Post–Religious Right America. Visit Jim and Sojourners at their website and read his daily blog.
Joining Jim to speak at 5 p.m. on May 13 at the State Capitol south steps will be Emilee Whitehurst (currently with the Rothko Chapel (Houston), formerly with Austin Area Interreligious Minitries ) and these local leaders:
- D.R. Dickey from Shoreline Christian Center
- Jennifer Cumberbatch from Agape Christian Ministries
- Gideon Tsang from Vox Veniae
- Neil Blumofe from Congregation Agudas Achim
We'll have great music from local artists to raise our hearts & souls:
Sara Hickman likes to sing & do good. She will whip out her guitar at parties and around campfires to get everyone singing along. she likes lots of voices singing. as she says,"it only takes one voice to start a choir."
Dave Madden is an intellectual with a passion for love, life, and truth. His sound has the sensitivity and raw energy of Jeff Buckley, tastefully blended with the power of a Switchfoot rock-anthem.
You'll want to be there, to rise up - bring your friends & family ! Join us on the South Steps of the Texas State Capital (near Congress & 11th)
