Workshop Coordinator -  the Rev. Chris Davies

Meet the Rev. Chris Davies, the Coordinator of the Working Group for Workshops at General Synod and Team Leader for Faith INFO (Faith Education, Innovation, and Formation) at the National Setting.

“The workshop team is excited to present dynamic workshops for use in local congregations and beyond! The workshops, to be selected early next year, will reflect the United Church of Christ as it is, and equip us as we continue to live into our discipleship in Christ, the values of the United Church of Christ, and a just world for all.

We hope to have about 50 workshops that will be available to any registered participant who is attending General Synod, but the workshops aren’t just one-offs! They will live on long after General Synod and the recordings will be available to purchase. This way, local churches will be resourced with quality materials to use for discussion groups in congregations, even and especially if you are not able to attend them during General Synod. So, know that if you attend something that sparks interest and conversation, you absolutely can share it with your congregation and community! What will the Workshops at General Synod inspire in you and in your congregation? Come and find out! See you at GS 2021!”

Virtual workshops are included as part of the registration price for General Synod, and will be available to watch at any point during General Synod. Access to workshop videos for registered attendees will continue until August 31st.

Keynote Speakers

Valarie Kaur, Social Activist & Film Maker

Valarie Kaur is a social justice activist who leads campaigns for civil and human rights. When a Sikh family friend was the first person murdered in a hate crime after 9/11, she made her first film on hate violence in America. Since then, her story-based advocacy has helped win policy change on hate crimes, racial profiling, immigration detention, solitary confinement, marriage equality, and Internet freedom.

Rev. Adam Russell Taylor, Author & Minister

Rev. Adam Russell Taylor is president of Sojourners and author of Mobilizing Hope: Faith-Inspired Activism for a Post Civil Rights Generation and forthcoming book, A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community. Taylor also serves on the Global Advisory Board of Tearfund UK and is a member of the inaugural class of the Aspen Institute Civil Society Fellowship.

THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST has a vision of a just world for all. In this world all are welcomed, everyone is loved and justice is inherent. The 3 Great Loves is the denomination’s opportunity to express how our Love of Neighbor, Love of Children, and Love of Creation work together to address the inequities in our current world.
