Board meetings and strategic plans from Chicago Theological Seminary
The session, identified as the second module on Civics Education for Faith Leaders, was presented by Reverend Dr. Janette Wilson, co-led by attorney Rodney Howard. The session reviewed the structure of government, covering federal, state, county, and city/township levels, contrasting them with Cook County, Illinois, as a model. Key discussion points included the legislative process (Congress, state legislatures, reapportionment after the census), the separation and intersection between church and state, and the constitutional protection of religious freedom. A significant portion detailed the responsibilities of county government, such as taxation, public safety, public health, and managing county property and court systems. The discussion also addressed how governmental units impact religious organizations, particularly concerning tax exemptions, zoning, and the legal definition of a church for tax purposes (e.g., IRS 501c3 status), including characteristics like having written doctrine, regular meetings, and a fixed place of worship.
This document captures a Wednesday Gathering focusing on interreligious chaplaincy, featuring Reverend Dr. Gregory McGonigal. The session began with centering words, including a reading of Clint Smith's poem "All at Once" and a response poem by Nosa Saiba. Key discussion points involved the role of chaplains in acknowledging suffering while simultaneously naming the systemic causes of that suffering, emphasizing the ethical demand of the present moment. Reverend Dr. McGonigal provided background on his career path into multifaith chaplaincy, stemming from his upbringing valuing faith and education, his studies in diverse religious traditions, and his subsequent work building multifaith programs at institutions like Oberlin and Emory University. He expressed interest in discussing technical aspects of securing chaplaincy roles and broader theological or pastoral concerns.
The gathering featured presentations on the sacredness of the natural world and diverse spiritual paths, including Druidry, as shared by a student. The main focus was the presentation of two institutional awards: the Judith Sanderson Award for Women in Leadership, presented to Dr. Emily Vogt, Associate Dean, for her competence and service since 2013, including leading reaccreditation efforts; and the G Campbell Morgan Preaching Award, presented to Jackie Skinner for her sermon titled "Prayer Powerful or Performative," which analyzed the prophet Micah's call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, arguing that spiritual practice without corresponding tangible action is empty or performative.
