In this time when the U.S. flag has come to be increasingly associated with white Christian nationalism\, we believe that it would be valuable for First Parish to help reclaim a more inclusive understanding of patriotism. The LGBTQ+ flag and the BLM flag would also help us share our values with the wider community. \nWhat do you think? \nThe Parish Committee will be making a decision about the flags this fall but first they want to hear from all of you! Join us for a listening session on October 21st at 7 pm on Zoom. Come share your thoughts and hear what others are thinking. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87379359914 URL:https://www.firstparish.info/event/listening-session-flags-at-the-meetinghouse/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Defending Democracy,Social Justice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241021T170000 DTSTAMP:20260626T130521 CREATED:20240108T154430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250624T143901Z UID:10001307-1729526400-1729530000@www.firstparish.info SUMMARY:Monday Spirit Talks DESCRIPTION:Spirit Talks are back!
