SUMMARY:Does the U.S. Supreme Court Have Credibility?
DESCRIPTION:Join in person or via Zoom  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker(s): Cassandra Burke Robertson\, JD\, MA\, MPA\, Professor of Law and Director\, Center for Professional Ethics School of Law at Case Western University; Shih-Chun Steven Chien\, JSD\, Assistant Professor of Law\, Cleveland State University School of Law \n\n\n\nConfidence in the U.S. Supreme Court was already sinking before extravagant unreported gifts to Justice Clarence Thomas became public. It begs the question: Does the highest court in the country have the lowest ethical standards? The Court has been challenged to adhere to the policies of the Judicial Conference of the United States\, required of lower courts. While referencing ethics as an “issue of concern inside the court”\, Chief Justice John Roberts has not committed to implement a Code of Ethics. How does this situation affect our judicial system\, and the concept of justice in the United States?

SUMMARY:Boundaries Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, October 22\, from 1:30-3:00PM\, Rev. Randy Partain will facilitate a special virtual workshop focusing on boundaries in a congregational setting. The skills and insights can also apply to personal boundaries in other areas of life.  \n\n\n\nBoundaries define what we allow and what we create. In our personal lives\, boundaries are in important way we connect healthily with other human beings. They allow us to tend to our needs and create clear expectations in relationship.  \n\n\n\nThe same is true in congregations. Our covenant might be thought of as a set of positive boundaries about what we co-create. There might be other boundaries that enable us to establish safe and brave space with one another.  \n\n\n\nThis 90-minute interactive experience will explore the healthy use of boundaries. It will also be a “train the trainers” event\, especially directed at those who may want to facilitate this conversation at other points in the church year. All are welcome to participate\, even if you don’t intend to facilitate the workshop in the future.  \n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this event: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYqdOqppzIjHdLN8LaV5DSewa9adwdIoFpk  \n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:GCC Launches Medical Debt Relief Campaign
DESCRIPTION:EngageGCC Assembly Is Thursday\, October 26 at 7pm B’nai Jeshurun Congregation27501 Fairmount Blvd\, Cleveland\, OH 44124 \n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in attending\, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/SeHrRzAZdkCPdgnz7At the September EngageGCC Assembly hosted by UUCC\, medical debt as an action issue was discussed. RIP Medical Debt has been engaged to relieve unpaid medical debt in Cleveland. They have negotiated a deal to retire $6 million in debt for $40 thousand. RIP Medical Debt uses your donations to purchase bundled medical debt portfolios on the secondary debt market and then forgives that debt at pennies to the dollar. When debt relief recipients open the yellow envelope from RIP\, they are told that their debt has been bought by a third party and erased with no strings attached. They owe nothing on the debt and face no tax penalty. \n\n\n\nGCC is launching a medical debt relief campaign that is open to GCC member congregations and supporters to contribute toward a goal of eliminating millions of dollars of medical debt for persons in the city of Cleveland and throughout Cuyahoga County. \n\n\n\nTo learn more about how you and your congregation can donate to the medical debt relief campaign visit this website: https://ripmedicaldebt.org/campaign/gcc-color-of-health-campaign/ \n\n\n\nWe can really make a difference! Thank you! \n\n\n\nThe next EngageGCC Assembly Is Thursday\, October 26 at 7pm at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation on Fairmount Blvd. If you’re interested in attending\, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/SeHrRzAZdkCPdgnz7 \n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in finding out more about Greater Cleveland Congregations (GCC)\, please visit:Learn About Who GCC is at Greater Cleveland Congregations;orIf you would like to receive GCC’s email updates\, please visit: Join our Mailing List the sign up sheet is located at the bottom of the page
