SUMMARY:Here Where We Live Is Our Country: Book of the Summer Discussion
DESCRIPTION: \nOnce the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe\, the Jewish Labor Bund was secular\, socialist\, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. The Bundists fought for dignity and equality\, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.” \nIn the first popular history of the Bund\, Crabapple re-creates their extraordinary world through dramatic portraits of insurgent poets and antireligious rebels\, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades. The Bundists live deeply within this violent\, volatile\, and somehow hopeful period\, as their stories interweave with the Russian Revolution and the Holocaust. The Bund’s rise and fall raises the vital question: What can we learn from a movement that\, for all its toughness\, imagination\, and moral clarity\, was largely destroyed? \nHere Where We Live Is Our Country reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. As we once again contend with nationalism\, repression\, and the struggle for belonging\, the Bund’s remarkable story and message—that liberation\, dignity\, and solidarity must begin where we stand—reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment. \n

SUMMARY:From Anti-Racist Quilts to Anti-ICE Prayer Flags: Participatory Art for Collective Liberation (M. Koyama)
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Mark Koyama shares strategies deployed by faith communities to use participatory art to deepen understanding and reflective action on pressing social justice issues. Mark will reflect on his journey with the Sacred Ally Quilt Ministry project that he jointly curated and toured nationwide together with Harriet Ward and Kathy Barrett Blair from 2020 to 2023\, and continue with the Crisis Liturgy project using prayer flags to commemorate people who have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in the most recent phase of deliberate state cruelty against immigrant communities and allied activists. \nThe evening presentation will be paired with a daytime group project to jointly create a prayer flag that will be hung at WFC in advance of the 250th Anniversary of the “independence” of colonial settlements on Turtle Island. \nRev. Mark Koyama grew up in South East Asia and New Zealand before coming to live in the United States in 1980. He was educated at Bates College\, Union Theological Seminary (MA 1992)\, University of Massachusetts Amherst (MFA 2010) and Yale Divinity School (MDiv 2015). Mark is the settled pastor at the United Church of Jaffrey\, in Jaffrey New Hampshire. Click here to watch “Claustrophobia\,” Mark’s July 2020 sermon about the origins of the quilt project. \n
