Gemstones in the Sun – Seeking Movement Chaplains in DMV and Michgan
“The GITS Movement Chaplaincy position fuses two primary activity areas into one area: Nonviolent Socio-Economic Justice Movement Building and Intercultural, Interfaith and Community-Wellness Capacity Building. The skills for this work need be put to good use by our Movement Chaplains within and between various POC communities, simultaneously. GITS’s work is a spiritual care approach to healing and transformation in the service of human recovery, societal evolution, and restorative justice. The personal and collective work in which GITS participants take part is designed to serve under-served and marginalized members of society, many of whom are POC. GITS honors and embraces the common wisdom of all faith traditions and spiritual perspectives, as well as humanists and agnostics, to best serve the personal and collective care needs of a growing POC population; a population that encompasses a wide range of community activities, concerns, hopes, and crises where diverse languages are written and spoken.”

The Festival Center is a leader in the fight for justice. Renovations on the building will begin this summer so that we can more faithfully live out our call to create movements for justice and train and mobilize faith leaders to serve in those movements. How can a building impact justice? Join us to find out.
