 Thurman Award Recipient and Keynote Speaker \nAt The Church For The 
 Fellowship of All Peoples\n\n\nLeslie Feinberg, transgender activist, award 
 winning author and speaker, will present the keynote address, titled 
 “Solidarity: Building Bridges of Unity,” at The Church for The 
 Fellowship of All Peoples’ Annual Convocation in San Francisco, Sunday, 
 October 21, 2007, 3:00 p.m., 2041 Larkin Street.  At the event, Feinberg 
 will also receive the prestigious Howard Thurman Award, for hir activism 
 and advocacy in defense of oppressed nationalities, women, disabled, the 
 working class movement and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender 
 community.  Feinberg, who uses “Ze” and “Hir” pronouns to self 
 identify,  is well known in the U.S. and around the world as a transgender 
 activist who works to help forge a strong bond between the lesbian, gay, 
 bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities, and stresses the importance of 
 connecting LGBT issues with the struggle for racial equality, class, 
 nationality, and women’s issues.  In May of this year, Feinberg was 
 awarded an honorary doctorate from Berkeley’s Starr King School for the 
 Ministry, for transgender and social justice work.\n\nThe Award is named 
 for Dr. Howard Thurman (1900-1981), civil rights leader and visionary 
 theologian who, in 1944 co-founded the first interracial, interfaith church 
 in the U.S., The Church for The Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco. 
  Hailed by Life Magazine as one of the foremost theologians of the 
 twentieth century, Thurman was the first African-American to travel to 
 India in 1936, to study non-violence with Ghandi.  A man of penetrating 
 foresight, his vision of the oneness of all life helped inspire a 
 generation of non-violent activism where he was teacher, mentor and 
 minister to Martin Luther King, Jr., Jessie Jackson and others in the civil 
 rights movement.\n\nEach October Fellowship Church celebrates its 
 anniversary by convening the convocation and presenting The Howard Thurman 
 Award.  Recipients are people who have contributed significantly to 
 realizing the vision that guided Thurman’s life and work: the search for 
 common ground, the oneness of all life, racial and religious 
 reconciliation, social justice and spiritual transformation.\n\nMusical 
 inspiration on October 21 will be provided by the Lucy Kinchen Chorale and 
 by Dr. Carl Blake.  The Church is located at 2041 Larkin, between Broadway 
 and Vallejo on Russian Hill.  Parking is quite limited, so public 
 transportation is advised. For more information visit www.fellowshipsf.org,
