Gwen Ifill and Michele Norris with William F. Baker
Thursday, Feb 18, 8 pm
Cathedral of St. John the Divine
The 2008 Presidential campaign and the landmark election of Barack Obama forever changed the discussion of race in America. From Senator Reid's recent controversial
remarks to former Governor Blagojevich saying he is "blacker than Barack Obama," the conversation on race in politics remains at the forefront of American consciousness.
Gwen Ifill, Michele Norris and William Baker will field a far reaching dialogue ranging from the mainstream to the hidden conversations on race that are rarely discussed in
public arenas.
Gwen Ifill, managing editor of Washington Week and senior correspondent of PBS's The Newshour with Jim Lehrer was the moderator for the 2008 Vice Presidential debates.
Recipient of the 2009 National Association of Black Journalists' Journalist of the Year award, Michele Norris is the host of NPR's All Things Considered. William F. Baker,
President
Emeritus of WNET.org and the Bernard L. Schwartz Professor and
Journalist-in-Residence at Fordham, will moderate the discussion.
Enter
the Conversation is part of an ongoing series of programs at the
Cathedral of Saint John the Divine focused on civic engagement as a
means of empowering individuals to be agents of positive social change.

Anti-Racism Training
Friday, Feb 19 and Saturday, Feb 20, all day
St. Philip's Church, Manhattan
The
purpose of the Diocesan antiracism training is to help us become aware
of how the sin of racism impacts all of our lives, and how we all
unconsciously and consciously participate in racist systems. It is
required for clergy and highly recommended for lay leadership.
Dialog
is the foundation of the two-day workshop (9:00 - 4:00). We use group
exercises and examine scientific and historical evidence (video format)
concerning the origins of the concept of race and its legacy. Coffee
and lunch are served and there is no cost to register and attend.
Of
the hundreds of workshop participants, over the past four years, more
than 75% have found the workshop to be "very useful" or "extremely
useful" in their work and daily lives.
The
workshops are free to those serving in parishes of this diocese, or lay
people who are congregants of the diocese, or diocesan/Cathedral staff.
For all others $50.00. Register and (if necessary) pay online, or contact Arlene Bullard at 212 932 7363. Note: if paying online, you are done once you have clicked "Register" - do not following the instructions to continue to payment. Your registration will have been received.

Fraudulent emails continue to circulate concerning Haiti relief
| It
has come to the attention pf tje Presiding Bishop's office that someone purporting to be Bishop Jean Zaché
Duracin might be sending out fraudulent emails in his name, asking for financial
donations. Please do not respond with
funds unless you are absolutely certain that the sender is who he or she claims
to be. At this time, the far safer way
to support the people of Haiti is through Episcopal Relief &

The
Diocesan Fund for Critical Clergy Needs Committee allocates grants in
three areas to canonically resident priests, deacons or congregations
of the Diocese of New York, as follows:

deacons who have expenses related to severe illnesses or other
household crises, lapsed medical insurance premiums, financial
emergencies caused by unemployment and unusual medical or dental
expenses.
2. Educational grants: a.) to the children of priests
or deacons with special needs or living in critical mission areas where
public schooling is clearly inadequate; and b.) to aid undergraduate
college tuition for children of priests or deacons. Undergraduate
education grants, which are only processed during the June meeting each
year, have in recent years been in the amount of $2,000 for each
student.
3. Grants to congregations which are unable to keep
pension payments current. At present, no congregation is able to make
application for these funds more than once every ten (10) years.
In
cases where there is a need that cannot be met under these criteria,
please contact the Rev. Canon Andrew Dietsche or the Rev. Canon John
Osgood. Other funds are available that might be able to address the
situation.

| An Introduction to Centering Prayer Presented by Bruce Gardiner, Hosted by Br. Charles,
n/OHC Saturday, Mar 27 Holy Cross Monastery,
West Park
About Centering
Prayer: Centering Prayer is a method of response to God's invitation to
enter into loving intimacy and relationship. The practice prepares us to be
open, available, and present God's action and presence in the innermost recesses
of our being. It facilitates a process of interior transformation initiated by
God and leading, as we consent, to divine union. Centering Prayer facilitates
both the deepening of our personal relationship with Christ and release from the
attachments that hinder development of this relationship, through contemplation
and the unfolding of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. The
fruits of Centering Prayer are naturally and gradually experienced in daily life
with increased ability to cheerfully love and serve God and
neighbor.TO
