Let's discuss some insights from the the first session of S.U.M. Your comments on all or any of the 3 questions below will be appreciated!
1. What was your group's overall response to bringing Social Uplift Ministry to your church, center or group?
2. Share comments and questions arising from your group's discussion of the Fact Sheet on Gun Responsibility.
3. What inspiring and/or unique insights came forth as you group explored the spiritual condition, belief, truth and prayer about this issue?
Healing Violence - Gun Control Feedback
Feedback:
Couldn’t find the Facebook Page to connect
Videos are not very good sound quality.
Curriculum:
CSL Seattle with Rev. Abigail Schairer created this curriculum: --this was done on Zoom over 2 classes, each class was 2 ½ hours each--several people from outside the Center that held it were there:
Class 1 --Beliefs underneath the condition
Examine underlying beliefs and what is underneath those beliefs about the issues (in this case gun violence).
Imagine what the world would be like with freedom from gun violence
Have a conversation about that and be at that feeling tone
Class 2--condition, principle spiritual action prior to physical action align with underlying truth
Brainstorming spiritual tools:
What spiritual tool do you use when healing the pain of violence in your own personal life?
What are you willing to commit to heal yourself around this issue?
Brainstorming social action:
What tangible social actions could you take to take to heal violence in society?
What personal action are you willing to take and commit to?
(For Centers whose bylaws prevent talking about legislation, this is a way to get to their own authentic action--nothing prevents any of us from sharing the SUM legislative actions as a possibility for the action people are willing to take--SOME centers (probably not most) are prohibited from recommending a particular legislative position. Most are not. IRS non profit laws do not prevent such positions.)

Hi Abigail: Where can I find a copy of the curriculum you mention in your post?
The FB page is a group of globalnewthought page. I had sent out two previous announcements with the links to you and all others who signed up for S.U.M. , but you might have missed them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2399901100282160/?source_id=84183936974
We are also a bit disappointed with the audio quality of the videos. It was a project we undertook when the Leadership Council was together in Sacramento but the facilities offered to us were not adequately prepared and it wasn't possible to change at that time. We're hoping to do this again at Unity World Headquarters where they have a high quality multimedia studio.
Thanks for the feedback! And for your work on this...
