Actions for Social Justice
As a member of GAIN (Greater Annapolis Interfaith Network), Evolve Chesapeake is encouraging the Network, in particular its faith leaders of the many churches, synagogues and the mosque in the area, to write letters urging our Representatives to support programs for the needy in our society, as these risk being undermined in the FY2013 Federal Budget. You might consider sending your letter, too. Want to know more about GAIN? www.Gainonline.org
Have you signed the "PLEDGE TO DEFEND MARYLAND'S CIVIL MARRIAGE EQUALITY LAW" put out by Marylanders for Marriage Equality? This is a great reminder for people to vote for marriage equality on the Referendum in November.

Dances with Dragons Climax DC-Area Creation Spirituality Gathering
R/Evolutionary Theologian Matthew Fox keynotes, teaches at weekend of leading-edge spiritual experience, learning, growth and Cosmic Celebration.
All the magic, mystery and mythic power of dragons will arise as a dynamic crowd of healers, artists, community-builders, mystics, activists, and seekers evoke their inner fire in "Awakening Imagination for Transformation: A Gathering of Creation Spirituality Communities," scheduled July 27-29 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville in Rockville, Maryland. Hosted by Evolve Chesapeake and Creation Spirituality Communities, the radically inclusive weekend features a keynote by the (r)evolutionary theologian and author Matthew Fox, Ph.D., along with workshops on community-building, spiritual activism, art as meditation and body prayer. Evoking archetypal images of dragons through art and experiential workshops, the weekend offers an opportunity to reach beyond the "either/or" of the reptilian brain to dance in an inclusive "both/and" perspective, embracing diversity and interconnectedness to achieve global healing.
