Soulforce
In Oklahoma Vigil
Sun, Feb 3, 8AM, Village
Baptist Church, 10600 N. May.
On
Saturday, February 2nd, Soulforce In Oklahoma will
conduct the next training in nonviolent principles
and direct actions at Church of the Open Arms, 3131 N.
Penn, OKC. The training will be 2-6:30 pm. We will
conduct the next vigil on Sunday, February 3rd at
Village Baptist Church, 10600 N. May, OKC. You must
attend a training session in order to participate in
the vigil.
There were 50 people who participated in the first
vigil on Sunday, January 6th. Let's make it 100 this
next time!
We are confronting in a nonviolent way, the very
source of our oppression - religious teachings and
policies. As Paul Barby has said, "You need to
participate. This is our Rosa Parks event, our march
to Birmingham, if you will. This is not about
religion; it is about bigotry taught by religion to
people who do not know us. They must get to know us.
Soulforce, like Ghandi and King, is effective in its
use of gentle yet powerful persuasion. Come for the
training on Saturday, February 2, and then join us in
the vigil February 3. Your life will be transformed."
For more information, a report on our first vigil,
and reflections from participants in the first vigil,
visit our website at www.SoulforceInOklahoma.org.
To sign up for the training, simply send an email to Soul4sOk@cwis.net with a
message that says, "I will join you on February
2-3", along with your name, address, and
telephone number. - Karen Weldin
