29th Annual Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry
Join Children’s Defense Fund for our 29th Annual Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry on July 17-20. Hosted annually on the storied grounds of CDF Haley Farm in Clinton, TN, the Proctor Institute is where faith leaders and activists sing and pray, strategize and struggle, organize and advocate. This powerful event refreshes and renews faith leaders so we can continue the hard, hopeful, sacred work of pursuing justice for children and their families.
This year’s theme, “Freedom Faith at 50,” will honor CDF’s 50th anniversary and celebrate the memory and ministry of one of the establishing leaders of CDF’s Black Church Initiative, the late Rev. Dr. Prathia Hall. A fearless leader, theologian, activist, organizer, and child defender, Hall envisioned a community where adults embrace and prioritize America’s children and youth. CDF’s Proctor Institute does just that. On the Farm at Proctor, young people are active participants in the pursuit of justice. Faith leaders are equipped to address children’s concerns in their communities. Dr. Hall underscored this need in her sermon at the 1998 CDF Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry, when she mused, “Perhaps the most difficult way for adults to receive children is to listen to them.”
During this year’s Institute, we will:
Reflect on our journey: Rev. Courtney Pace, Ph.D., author of Freedom Faith: The Womanist Vision of Prathia Hall, will serve as Historian-in-Residence. Pace's biography of Hall recounts her journey from organizing with Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee to encouraging young people at Haley Farm to “stoke the fires of freedom’s faith.” Dr. Pace will speak on Hall's legacy and the critical role of African American women in the movement for child well-being.
Learn from great minds: Daily plenaries on policy for everyone will join the Dale P. Andrews Freedom Seminary, where seminarians spend the week engaging with faculty from across the country. Dr. Patrick Reyes, of the Forum for Theological Exploration, and Dr. Lorena Parrish, of Wesley Theological Seminary, will serve as co-deans of the Freedom Seminary.
Renew ourselves as Beloved Community: Rhonda Magee, JD, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco and author of The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness. Professor Magee will lead morning meditations. Families with children can fully engage in the Institute sessions as children spend the week experiencing the power of the CDF Freedom Schools® program.
Click here to learn more about CDF’s Proctor Institute and watch for the 2023 registration announcement and list of featured speakers coming soon!
As we close out Black History Month and welcome Women’s History Month this March, we honor those like Rev. Dr. Prathia Hall. As we continue the work of listening to America’s children and youth, we are building a future where marginalized children flourish, leaders prioritize their well-being, and communities wield the power to ensure they thrive. Join us in this work.

Festival of HOMILETICS | Preaching Hope for a Weary World
“Preaching Hope for a Weary World” is the Festival’s response to the hardships and heaviness that have been our reality the last few years.
From a pandemic, to protests, to politics, and polarization; from wars, to gun violence, and climate change catastrophes, what is our call to preach?
Hope.
Surprisingly, in looking back over Festival themes there has never been a focus on hope. Yet, who better to name hope into our world than preachers?
We believe in a hope that defies all odds. A hope that speaks of new life amid death. A hope that reaches for justice amid inequity. A hope that knows the promise of God’s righteousness amid fear and despair.
The Festival of Homiletics 2023 will inspire us to a renewed sense of our radical calling.
Our weary world needs us, preachers. Hope wins.
Come renew, refresh, and recharge your spirit!
We’re offering a FREE livestream version as well. Register here.

In This Place 2023 season's theme, “Wait, what’s going on?'' is designed to help us to remember the work, determination and social imagination required to bring the issues of our society’s most dishonored contributors into the forefront of the media, demanding their due respect. We believe that such willpower and creativity is required as we usher in a new wave of thought and culture with restorative economics at the center of these imaginings.
Our April theme, “Wait, who am I and am I, we?” Exploring empowering self through the recognition of personal value beyond the framework of capitalism and productivity. How does the absence of self-love manifest in the desire for things outside of us? How have indigenous and Black people approached the relationship between self/worth and relationship with the land as sacred? Where is the sweet spot with healing on a personal level within the context of community wellness, ancestral reverence, and environmental sustainability?
DHARMA AND JUSTICE: SOLIDARITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN BLACK AND ASIAN BUDDHIST SANGHAS
Join us on Tuesday, April 11 at 7:00 PM for Dharma and Justice: Solidarity and Accountability in Black and Asian Buddhist Sanghas, featuring Cristina Moon and Rima Vesely-Flad.
As Buddhism gains numbers of practitioners throughout the U.S., there is increasing attention paid to cultural adaptation and appropriation within “convert” sanghas. How can Buddhist practitioners, including Black Buddhists who have similarly experienced cultural appropriation, respond ethically? Recognizing the distinctive ways in which Asians and Asian-Americans have been racialized, as well as the distinctive ways in which Black people have been racialized, how can we address nuances and dynamics in Black and Asian Buddhist sanghas? Not least, as violence continues to be disproportionately inflicted upon Black and Asian community members, how can Black and Asian communities create further avenues for solidarity?

In This Place 2023 season's theme, “Wait, what’s going on?'' is designed to help us to remember the work, determination and social imagination required to bring the issues of our society’s most dishonored contributors into the forefront of the media, demanding their due respect. We believe that such willpower and creativity is required as we usher in a new wave of thought and culture with restorative economics at the center of these imaginings.
Our March theme “Wait, we need to fast to slow down?” is asking us to take the time required to adjust our thinking to create lives that decenter capitalistic ideals. Can we find time to fast from constant busyness and consumption? How can revisiting the stories of our elders help us to remember how practical it is to live more subsistent lives? Subsistence is developing skills to sustain you and your family’s fundamental needs. Is there value in thinking of ways to live a service-filled life with the mutual support of community and less stress? What do our community groups look like with a national trend of distancing from traditional church groups? How do we build and maintain divinely connected community?
VIRGIN TERRITORY: CONFIGURING FEMALE VIRGINITY IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY
Join the Union community on Saturday, March 4 at 10:00 am ET for a webinar celebrating the publication of Virgin Territory: Configuring Female Virginity in Early Christianity by Julie Kelto Lillis, Assistant Professor of Early Church History. Panelists Maia Kotrosits, Saadia Yacoob, Amey Victoria Adkins-Jones, and moderator Shola Adegbite will join Dr. Kelto Lillis in discussing the book and the ways historical work informs the work of justice. Register to receive Zoom webinar login information.
Drawing from their own analysis of gender and sexuality in ancient or medieval texts, the guest speakers will connect academic and social justice-oriented contributions of Virgin Territory with their projects in diverse areas of religious and theological studies. The discussion will highlight the necessity of historicizing concepts that circulate in current societies and the value of investigating the past to reconsider the present and reimagine the future.
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE FOR THE SOCIAL GOOD: CULTIVATING CLEAR AWARENESS OF INVISIBLE GROUP DYNAMICS THROUGH CHAN PRACTICE
Are we aware that we may be perpetuating group dynamics that cause suffering to ourselves and others? Chan Buddhism emphasizes cultivating clear total awareness of constantly changing causes and conditions to live in accordance with wisdom and compassion. Yet, powerful but invisible group dynamics often compel us to act in contradiction to our bodhisattva vows. Understanding and awareness of these dynamics needs to be an integral part of our practice. In this course, students discuss sociological insights on subtle dynamics of solidarity, conflict, power and culture and how to integrate conceptual understanding of these social processes into our spiritual practice for the social good. Discussion is conducted in the context of Chan meditation practice.
Dates/Times: Friday, March 3 (1-6pm) and Saturday, March 4 (9am-5pm)
Location: In Person
Instructor: Rebecca Li
Registration Deadline: Sunday, February 19
DHARMA AND JUSTICE: INTEGRATING GRIEF AS SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK
Join us on Thursday, March 2 at 7:00 PM for Dharma and Justice: Integrating Grief as Social Justice Work, featuring Paula Arai, Sarah Dōjin Emerson, and Jefre Cantu.
The pain of loss is a key feature of the Buddha’s teaching of dukkha, one of the three marks of existence, an unavoidable truth of life. Loss and the attendant grief are therefore not something to get over or through, but gateways into compassion and our shared existence. Even while grief is a universal truth, dominant culture in the US has historically and increasingly suppressed and cut off traditional ways of collectively processing grief. In this conversation, we will explore the centrality of grief on the path of liberation, and how individual and collective practices and rituals in the Buddhist tradition can support, make space for and help reclaim how we integrate loss; and in turn, be a part of reforming systems of oppression that depend on the denial and suppression of the vast histories of what we need to collectively grieve.
ASL interpretation will be provided.

Our first session in this series features Faith Matters Network's long-time friend & womanist scholar, Dr. Emilie M. Townes. Join us for a conversation moderated by one of our executive leaders at FMN, Brittney Jackson.

#JusticeForTony - Candlelight Vigil
Join us Saturday (2/25) at 6:30 pm as we gather on the sidewalk outside of the Walker County Jail to hold a special candlelight vigil for Anthony "Tony" Mitchell.
This vigil will be a time of communal lament and grief where we continue the work of remembering the life of Tony Mitchell and standing in resistance to the corruption of the WCSO. This is a time when we can come together to stand in solidarity with Tony's family, and continue to fight for justice on behalf of all of those in our community that have never received justice as victims of police violence.
This vigil is an act of public witness, and will offer our community a space for the same grief and outrage we expressed during Saturday's protest, but with a more reverential tone. We have a long road ahead of us if we are going to see justice come to fruition, and we know that Saturday's protest was merely the first leg of the journey.
We need everyone to keep showing up. To keep raising their voices. To keep saying his name until Sheriff Nick Smith and the rest of those involved at the WCSO are held accountable.
Please keep fighting with us! Please come out Saturday for this time of remembrance and resistance!

Festival of Homiletics 2022

If COVID-19 has taught us anything homiletically, it’s that trauma should be a regular part of our preaching. The Festival of Homiletics 2022 will create space for learning and conversation that honors what we have been through—and what kind of preachers we want to be as survivors of the storm.
Christian preaching knows we can’t get to the resurrection without experiencing the cross. But COVID-19 revealed that we are less aware of what it means to preach resurrection with the cross remaining.
