Event Description: Deep-rooted partnerships, grounded in core values, are essential to the success of nearly every social justice initiative. At this year’s Trinity Institute theological conference, Values in Action, participants will learn how the impact of our actions—individually and organizationally—can be amplified through values-based partnerships. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will be a partner site for the February 3, 2018 conference featuring leading activists, theologians, and authors whose life and work show the power of values in action: Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness; poet, theologian, and mediator Pádraig Ó Tuama; and the Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman, author of Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People Know About Life and Love and How It Can Revitalize Christianity. The Rev. Dr. William Lupfer, rector of Trinity Church Wall Street, said “We make the greatest impact when we are working toward one purpose following one vision. That vision springs from shared values. Learning to discern our common values requires dedication and intention, but brings great rewards for our congregations, neighborhoods, and the world.”, to be held onsite in New York City for individual attendees and streamed across the globe at partner sites—churches, cathedrals, seminaries, and advocacy organizations. St. Paul’s will offer all aspects of the conference via livestream, and participants will be able submit questions directly to conference speakers via email during the question and answer periods.
