SUMMARY:In Search of Justice: Mexican American History Is American History
DESCRIPTION:Our final program for 2016 will add another dimension of our general theme for 2016\, “Owning Violence: Affirming Nonviolence.” Dr. Roberto Calderón\, an expert on Texas-Mexican history\, will bring our focus to the Texas Mexican population. \nAs we have learned about the lived experience of African Americans\, American Indians\, and Muslims in our society\, this presentation will deepen our understanding of the experience of Mexicans as a perceived “other.” We will continue to try to take an unflinching look at ourselves in relation to those who are different from us. Together\, from the perspective of our respective cultures and faith traditions\, we will reflect on the varied forms of violence in relation to the Mexican population – overt and subtle – and how we can with greater clarity and consistency truly be people of nonviolence. \nDr. Roberto Calderón is Associate Professor of History\, University of North Texas. His primary academic interest is in American Mexican history and he has a deep understanding of the history of Mexicans in Texas. \nMore about Dr. Calderón is available by clicking on this link:\nhttp://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=ffaqd8cab&oeidk=a07ede5x4nf80282d0b

SUMMARY:3-D Compassion: Lesa Walker\, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to gather with us on this Peacemaking Sunday in Providence Hall to hear Dr. Walker talk about “3-D Compassion.”  Lesa is Founder of the Compassionate Austin Movement.  She describes the scope of compassion in three key dimensions – caring for others\, self\, and the Earth – and believes it is important to have intentional awareness and practice of compassionate action in these areas. She will describe the “3 Daily Questions” exercise and how “3-D Compassion” can be a daily devotional for cultivating a compassionate way of life\, one that leads to forgiveness\, reconciliation\, restoration and to true peace and healing in our broken world.  From a Christian perspective\, this is what Jesus’ life was all about.  Come join us for this exciting and transforming talk! \n

SUMMARY:David Breaux Compassion Tour
DESCRIPTION:FOLLOW ALONG WITH REFLECTIONS FROM DAVID AND HIS TIME HERE IN DALLAS: http://www.compassionatedfw.org/david-breaux-dfw-compassion-tour/ \n\n\nDuring the 2016 Compassion Games (September 11 – 21)\, David Breaux will be joining CDFW on his Compassion Tour\, a multi-city tour to raise awareness around compassion. It grows out of the life work of David who\, when not on tour\, resides in Davis\, CA\, where he spent the majority of 2009-2016 working to bring awareness to compassion within that community. \nDavid works mainly by asking people to share their written concept of the word compassion in a notebook. David’s intent is to bring awareness to compassion by encouraging people to think about what compassion means to them. Through this simple gesture\, people are moved to contemplate compassion and inspired to act toward the alleviation of suffering in the world. \nWhile on tour\, David also facilitates community-based discussions. He gives interactive presentations on the concept of compassion\, as well as reflections from his work and personal experience. \nDavid is available for small or large group compassion presentations while in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Go to http://bestofbcb.org/cafe-017- compassion-tour/ for an interesting podcast of David’s work. \nBelow is David’s schedule: \nSunday\, September 11: \n\n9 AM – First Unitarian Church of Dallas\n12 PM to 5 PM – Feeding Children Everywhere Richardson – Richardson Civic Center \n\nMonday\, September 12: \n\nMorning – Klyde Warren Park\n\nTuesday\, September 13:  \n\nMorning – Klyde Warren Park\n\nWednesday\, September 14:  \n\nMorning – Klyde Warren Park\n5:30 PM – Bottle Bricks Project – St. Barnabas Presbyterian Richardson\n\nThursday\, September 15:  \n\n7 to 9 PM – Knitting Project – Congregation Beth Torah Richardson \n\nFriday\, September 16: \n\nMorning – Klyde Warren Park\n\nSunday\, September 18: \n\nOpen for a house of worship talk\n\nMonday\, September 19:  \n\nMorning at Klyde Warren Park\n\nTuesday\, September 20: \n\nMorning at Klyde Warren Park\n2:30 to 4:30 PM – Podcast – The Crow Collection of Asian Art\n6:30 to 8 PM – Presentation / Conversation at The Crow\n\nWednesday\, September 21:  \n\n11:30 AM to 1 PM – Compassion Walk – Klyde Warren Park to Thanks-Giving Square

SUMMARY:Bottle Brick Building
DESCRIPTION:Grab your empty 20 oz. Gatorade bottles\, because it’s time to get building! Watch how you can transform your community by assembling bottle bricks made of plastic scraps that can ultimately become compassion benches\, raised planter beds\, and more. \nFrom CDFW Board Member Ron Bemis: \n I’ve become very interested in bottle bricks. I’ll provide a number of links below. The idea is to take a lot of similar-sized plastic bottles and pack them tightly with non-biodegradable waste material. The result is a solid “bottle brick” that 1) can be used in construction projects and 2) keeps this waste material out of landfills and oceans. \nUsing a mixture of natural ingredients (sand\, mud\, clay\, water) and perhaps some man-made cement\, a mortar is made to contain the bricks. Many projects have included benches\, but walls and other enclosures have also been constructed. In thinking about this\, it seems to me that a long-term project of filling and collecting bottles could be started – I’d like to involve the youth at my church\, and invite other churches and maybe even local elementary schools to join in. At some point\, we’ll have enough bricks to build a project. It might take anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years to get to that point. \nWe should have a goal in mind\, and I’m currently looking at various places around Richardson where it might be appropriate to build and install an “earth bench”. Or perhaps a round wishing well type enclosure that could be used as a raised planter. If you have an idea\, let me know! \nPlease check the links below\, share the link to this page\, and contact me if you’re interested in helping\, participating\, or being a part of the final project! \nIn any case\, grab a 20oz Gatorade bottle and rinse and dry it out. Then pull off the label and plastic rim and shove them inside. Keep the lid\, and continue to shove in pieces of plastic. Keep packing it in\, using a wooden spoon or special “smash tool” to fill all available space. If something seems too big\, use scissors to cut it into 1″ strips\, then 1″ squares. When it’s so full that you can’t smash in any more or squeeze the sides\, it’s done! Screw the lid back on\, write your name or a message on the bottle\, or decorate it in some way if you want. \nThat was easy\, right? If you’re like me\, you’ll be surprised at how much plastic waste you can fit into your bottle. You should feel good knowing that you’ve helped our environment by keeping all that plastic out oflandfills and oceans. Are you ready to fill another bottle? Maybe you can get some of your friends to start one too. Whether you fill a bottle or not\, please cut up those plastic six-pack holders before you toss them anywhere. \nContact me and let me know how you’re doing. We want to know how many bottles are filled so we can decide how close we are to our goal of building a bench (or whatever we decide to build). At some point\, we’ll want to get all the bottle bricks together. Also let me know if you want to be involved in helping to build the final project. In any case\, we’ll be glad to keep you informed how the project is coming along. \n\nReference links:\n\nSmash Tool\nWhat Goes Inside?\nHow-To Sheet\nCommunity Flyer\nBottle Labels\nBottle Bricks\nEcobricks\nPeace On Earthbench Movement\nDIY Landfill\nHow to Bottle Brick\nEco-Friendly Bricks\nBottle Brick Benches\nDavid Breaux’s Compassion Tour

SUMMARY:What Indigenous Religions Teach Us About Nonviolence - Peggy Larney - Citizen of the Choctaw Nation
