DESCRIPTION:Sharon Delgado will do a book reading/signing at the Capitola Book Café on 
 Wednesday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m. The event is co-sponsored by the 
 Capitola Book Café and the Resource Center for Nonviolence. Shaking the 
 Gates of Hell has been called “a handbook for a new generation of 
 activists” and has been endorsed by Bill McKibbon, Ched Meyers, James 
 Douglass, and many others.\n\nDelgado, an ordained United Methodist 
 minister who lived in Santa Cruz until recently, served as pastor of First 
 United Methodist Church on California Street in the 1990s. During that time 
 she founded Earth Justice Ministries with her husband, Guarionex, and she 
 continues on as its Executive Director today. From 2001 to 2004 she served 
 on the staff of the Resource Center for Nonviolence, where her primary 
 focus was on peacemaking, coalition-building, and grassroots organizing. 
 She facilitated study groups, led nonviolence trainings, organized public 
 events, and spoke at many events. Rev. Delgado organized delegations to 
 Seattle (in late 1999) and to Cancun (in 2003), where Santa Cruz residents 
 joined people from around the world to witness and to protest the workings 
 of the WTO.\n\nThis book begins with Seattle and ends with Cancun. It 
 presents an overview of the system of “corporate globalization,” 
 including transnational corporations, rule-making bureaucracies such as the 
 IMF, World Bank, and WTO, and enforcement establishments such as the US 
 military/industrial complex. It points toward an alternative future that 
 includes spiritual awakening, reverence for the earth, faith-led 
 resistance, hope for the future, and personal and social transformation. It 
 suggests ways that people of faith can join with others to “shake the 
 gates of hell,” resisting the horror of a barren, violent, and poisoned 
 future, while developing viable alternatives to help build a peaceful, 
 just, and sustainable world. See http://www.shakingthegatesofhell.com. \n
