National Council of Church's annual Christian Unity Gathering (CUG) will be held virtually on October 11 - 12 with the theme, "In New Wineskins: From Pandemics to Possibilities to Promises," based on the scripture in Luke 5:37-39. The event is free to attend.
This year’s CUG will explore how church life has changed and
what our hope is for the church as the global community struggles to emerge
from its pandemics and economic crises while at the same time continuing to
grapple with the racial reckoning that is happening in our nation and the
world. Can we discard the old wineskins? What will it take to go beyond
conversations on racism to fully incorporating equity and racial justice in our
churches? Where are new models of racial reckoning/reconciliation?
Together, we will examine how to move forward as we negotiate those who are
lamenting the old and those embracing the new as well as the spaces where both
are happening at the same time. Will you join us to go beyond how we “always do
it” and get to a place of possibilities? We invite you to join us virtually to
explore what churches must do to honor old wineskins while embracing new ones
and God’s promises for a new path forward.
