Dr. Liberato Bautista\, Assistant General Secretary\, UN and International Affairs-General Board of Church and Society of The United Methodist Church and President\, Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN \nSupport: Ms. Monica Willard\, United Religions Initiative \nPanelists: \n\nH.E. Ambassador Francisco Duarte Lopes\, Permanent Representative of Portugal to the UN in New York\nDr. Abbas Barzegar\, Director\, The Horizon Forum\nMr. Cooper Christiancy\, JD\, Research and Advocacy Advisor to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism\nMs. Vanessa Griddine-Jones\, JD\, LL.M.\, Executive Director\, Congressional Black Caucus Institute\nMs. Audrey Kitagawa\, JD\, President/Founder of the International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation \nDr. Abubakar Kabwogi\, Founding Secretary General\, Africa Council of  Religious Leaders\n\nQ&A \n12:10 Concluding Remarks  \nDrawing from the Symposium discussions\, highlighting key points and recommendations to end the systemic injustices of racism\, the legacy of colonialism and slavery \n\nMs. Quinn Wonderling and Ms. Audri Scott Williams\, Symposium Moderators\nDr. Ryan Smith\, Chair\, Symposium Planning Group and Programme Executive\, Ecumenical Office to the UN and Representative to UN Headquarters\nMs. Ana Jimenez\, UN Inter-agency Task Force on Religion and Sustainable Development\n\nMORE ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM: \n\nThe 8th Annual Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-based Organizations in International Affairs\, entitled\n“Mobilizing Moral Influence and Governance to End the Systemic Injustices of Racism\, the legacy of Colonialism and Slavery”\, will be held virtually 8:00 – 12:30 EDT on Tuesday 25 January 2022. \nThis edition of the Symposium will focus on the urgent need to transform our world\, exposing and redressing the systemic injustices of racism\, colonialism and slavery that continue to pervade all aspects of society – local\, national and international.  As a common table bringing together institutions of governance and of moral and cultural influence\, it will explore how the lingering historical injustices shape the social inequalities that have been exposed by crises of global proportions including Covid-19. \nThe Symposium also aims to contribute to a move towards healing and reconciling our world. It will identify solutions and concrete recommendations for how the UN and governments\, in partnership with religious bodies\, faith-based groups and other stakeholders\, can foster an antiracist and anticolonialist society – a society based on the genuine embrace of the whole human family as one humanity\, bound by the imperative of respect of every person’s dignity and inalienable worth. \nContext \nRacism and concomitant concerns of racial discrimination and xenophobia\, colonialism and redress for historic slavery\, as well as ending modern-day forms of slavery have become highly topical. \nFrom the United Nations Security Council and Human Rights Council’s hearing from human rights and land defenders to movements against systemic injustices like Black Lives Matter to the recognition of graves of indigenous children\, the world cannot ignore the history and necessity for changes in the systems that allowed and encouraged abuses to occur. \nThe International Decade for People of African Descent\, which began in 2015\, is drawing to a close.  2021 is the twentieth anniversary of the World Conference Against Racism held in Durban\, South Africa.  And on September 21\, 2021\, UN Secretary-General António Guterres submitted his report ‘Our Common Agenda’ to the General Assembly which states that “New approaches to proactively support the participation in public affairs of those who have traditionally been marginalized\, including minority and indigenous groups\, are also necessary.” \nWhen it comes to addressing the lingering transgenerational traumas of slavery\, several remarkable projects have seen the day\, including the UNESCO project “Healing the Wounds of Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery”. There is also the multiplication of commissions for truth and reconciliation showing unprecedented determination and global mobilization to address the scourge of racism. The upcoming Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022 – 2032) will focus on indigenous language users’ human rights. These\, and many more initiatives\, all provide immediate occasions for faith-based organizations to partner with UN agencies to contribute to the healing of people and the planet\, and of international relations. \nShaping a just\, inclusive\, and sustainable future for the human family and the planet we all inhabit is a common task.  Sounding a wake-up call\, “Our Common Agenda” emphatically warned that “We need a pathway that protects people and the planet\, allowing for sustainable development. This means broad shifts in what prosperity and progress mean\, how to incentivize and measure them\, and how to evaluate policies.” Addressing the intersecting pandemics and crises must be aimed at the achievement of a truly intercultural\, multireligious\, and pluralistic world. \nInjustices have been done to real people\, real nations\, and the planet we share. The healing of our world and redressing the legacy of colonialism must be global\, multilateral\, intercultural\, and multifaceted. Antiracism is a commitment to protect human rights and a sustainable future. We cannot postpone action. \nInequalities are forcing public institutions to revisit other crises that are intersecting with racism. Public discourse today is much more welcoming of a re-examination of people and institutions and their entanglement and complicity with racism\, colonialism\, and slavery. \nToday\, international institutions\, governments\, and religions have the historic opportunity and responsibility to address the multiplicity of injustices—local and international\, global and planetary. With our heightened awareness of the intersecting character of these crises\, analysed through the lens of gender\, race\, class\, sexuality\, ethnicity\, and indeed of culture and religion\, the time of reckoning is upon us. \nToday\, racism and attendant issues actively subverts our best imagination of what makes for peace and justice\, for mercy and compassion\, for dignity and equality. We must reverse course and redress historic grievances and forge a new future. \nThe self-appropriated rights to possess indigenous minds\, lands and other resources have been embraced by religions and faith-based institutions embodied through policies based on manifest destiny\, exceptionalism\, and the Doctrine of Discovery. \nIncreasing signs of building a better future appear when religions\, religious institutions and philosophies are unashamedly repudiating their past complicities with slavery\, colonialism and racism. It is equally a sign of enlightened maturity for nations to recognize and repudiate their violent past of colonial aggressions\, of abuses\, and of violations of people’s human rights and the integrity of their communities. \nThe Symposium will address the ways in which the historic injustice of slavery\, colonialism\, and racism have lingered in our midst and exacerbate the many current challenges facing our world. It will explore how forms of ethnocentrism\, tribalism\, casteism\, classism and colorism damage human relations and how such relations have been put asunder by classifications of power and supremacy\, of superiority and inferiority\, among human beings and their communities. \nTo overcome and abolish the intersecting crises brought about by slavery\, racism\, and colonialism\, we must go beyond symptoms to the root causes. Addressing these crises\, in fact\, is a condition sine qua non for the healing that is desperately needed on all levels. The role of religion\,  as much as nation-states\, in these intersecting historic and contemporary pandemics and crises are tangible. \nRevisiting the various slaveries\, colonialisms and racism in their historic intersections and social intersectionality will provide unique perspectives regarding how they have brought much suffering\, lingering inter- and transgenerational traumas and deaths\, not only of people of African descent but also indigenous peoples and peoples of color. \nAntiracism must be one of the common goals in which the UN and its multilateral bodies work together on with religious and faith-based organizations. \nThe 2022 edition of the Annual Symposium is promoted by:\nWorld Council of Churches\nUnited Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC)\nUnited Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect\nUnited Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)\nGeneral Board of Church and Society\, United Methodist Church\nMilstein Center for Interreligious Dialogue\nIslamic Relief USA\nACT Alliance\nSeventh-Day Adventist Church\nUnited Religions Initiative\nSoka Gakkai International

SUMMARY:The Climate Emergency: Does Religion Matter?
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to “The Climate Emergency: Does Religion Matter?”\, the latest installment of the Temple of Understanding’s ECO JUSTICE FOR ALL Dialogues. These are special intimate discussions about the climate emergency with international ChangeMakers. \nECO JUSTICE FOR ALL interviews and dialogues are ongoing programs presented by the Temple of Understanding\, incorporating our outreach in the area of environmental awareness and advocacy. We present a diverse range of perspectives\, from scientific to spiritual views\, on the climate emergency and offer a variety of solutions that we can all do easily and effectively in our everyday lives. World religious and spiritual visionaries\, Indigenous leaders\, scientists and social scientists\, environmental activists\, artists\, musicians and writers\, youth and elders\, local and global people\, all come together to address the urgency of the climate crisis through these ongoing interviews and dialogues. \nRegister here! \nSpeakers: \nRabbi Ellen Bernstein is an eco-theologian\, spiritual leader\, writer and creative. She founded Shomrei Adamah\, Keepers of the Earth\, the first national Jewish environmental organization in 1988. Her books include Let the Earth Teach You Torah\, Ecology and the Jewish Spirit\, and The Splendor of Creation. Ellen also created the first ecologically-centered Tu B’Sh’vat (Jewish New Year of theTrees) seder in 1988 and popularized Tu B’Sh’vat as a community-wide inter-spiritual ecological arts celebration for all peoples. Her most recent book\, The Promise of the Land\, A Passover Haggadah is the first comprehensive\, ecological haggadah (guidebook) for Passover (Behrman House\, 2020). In 2020 during the pandemic\, Ellen launched the Earth Seder movement\, helping to organize several dozen world-wide Earth Seders on Zoom. Ellen continues to write and teach on the ecology of the Hebrew Bible\, and serves on the advisory board of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. To learn more please visit ellenbernstein.org and thepromiseoftheland.com. \nTheodore Hiebert writes about biblical perspectives on the environment and about biblical views of identity and difference. His book The Yahwist’s Landscape: Nature and Religion in Early Israel challenges claims that the Bible privileges humans and separates them from nature\, and it shows how biblical religion is grounded in the natural world. He has made contributions about biblical perspectives on nature to such works as The New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible\, The Oxford Companion to the Bible\, Earth and Word: Classic Sermons on Saving the Planet\, and Interpretation. He is the author of the article on Genesis for the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of the Bible and Ecology. Ted was the lead translator of the Book of Genesis and one of the editors for the recent English translation\, the Common English Bible (CEB). He wrote the notes to Genesis for the CEB Study Bible and for the New Interpreter’s Study Bible\, based on the New Revised Standard Version. He is the Old Testament editor for Abingdon Press’s Covenant Bible Study. Ted also writes about biblical views of identity and difference. His book The Beginning of Difference: Discovering Identity in God’s Diverse World challenges exclusivist cultural interpretations of the book of Genesis and reveals a text that embraces and celebrates ethnic identities and differences. It contains a reinterpretation of the story of Babel as positive account of the origin of the world’s cultures. God’s Big Plan\, which he co-authored with Elizabeth Caldwell\, is a children’s story of Babel based on this new interpretation. Ted is currently at work on a study of the book of Genesis as migration literature. Ted is a member of the Mennonite Church and has served as pastor of the Boston Mennonite Congregation. He is a frequent lecturer and teacher in adult education programs in churches in the Chicago area. He is Francis A. McGaw Professor of Old Testament and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and lives in Homewood\, IL. \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.
