DESCRIPTION:Social justice allies and “neighbors,” GLIDE and Grace Cathedral 
 continue Community Thursdays, their popular, innovative workshop series on 
 alliance building for social change on April 23. In an increasingly 
 diverse, fractured and evolving city (and nation), Community Thursdays 
 hopes to bridge the gap in experience and understanding between neighbors. 
 Conceived out of a shared desire to promote connection, the series seeks to 
 uncover ways to build the beloved community together.\n\nSessions are free 
 and open to all. Each evening will begin with an informal shared meal at 
 6:00 pm followed by moderated conversations with experts at 6:30 pm, which 
 will include addressing divisive systems, facilitated table discussions, 
 music and more. Participants may arrive as strangers but will leave with 
 new friendships, a shared sense of community, and a better understanding of 
 how to take action with resilience and hope.\n\nWHEN:	\n\n•	April 23 at 
 GLIDE’s Sanctuary \nShared meal at 6:00 pm; program starts at 6:30 
 pm\n\n“From Neighbor to Kin, Breaking Down the Silos”\nAs staff Rabbi 
 for GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice, Michael Lezak works to create a 
 broad interfaith justice coalition. Michael will share insights and wisdom 
 from the field and discuss the philosophies and practicalities involved in 
 his reconciliation and justice work. He will share how he brings groups 
 with different experiences together to build strong, blended 
 congregations.\n\nFacilitator/speaker:\nRabbi Michael Lezak, Staff Rabbi at 
 GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice \n\nADDITIONAL SESSION 
 INCLUDES:\n\n•	May 28 at Grace’s Chapter House Dining Room\nShared meal 
 6:00 pm; program starts at 6:30 pm\n\n“Reimagining Place, Rethinking 
 Justice”\nThe design of a space influences human interactions taking 
 place within it. This is especially evident in the justice system. The 
 architecture of courthouses, prisons and other government spaces promotes 
 authority and punishment from on high, not coming together for healing and 
 reconciliation. Designer and restorative justice innovator Deanna Van Buren 
 will discuss her work creating spaces that facilitate stakeholders coming 
 together to restore broken relationships.\n\nFacilitator/speaker:\nDeanna 
 Van Buren, co-founder of Oakland-based Designing Justice+Designing 
 spaces\n\nWHERE: \nApril 23 \nGLIDE, 330 Ellis Street, San Francisco, CA
