October 26 - Farewell to "Considering Faith" - Chris Morton and Gail Anderson
After three wonderful years, "Considering Faith" is leaving the airwaves. Today's economic climate has most organizations making difficult choices, and the Minnesota Council of Churches is no exception. Due to financial constraints, this Sunday will be our final broadcast. This week's show will feature one of our regular hosts, the Reverend Chris Morton. But this week, Chris will be sitting in the guest's chair. The host will be another staff member from the Council of Churches - Director of Unity and Relationships, Gail Anderson. Gail and Chris will talk about how "Considering Faith" came to be, how the show evolved from that initial vision, some favorite moments, and behind-the-scenes stories. This website will continue to offer podcasts to the public until March of 2009. The staff of "Considering Faith" are forever grateful to our many illustrious guests and supportive listeners. Thank you for these years of soulful conversation.

The phrase "A Minnesota Without Poverty" isn't just an idealistic wish - it's a consortium of faith communities working together as one visionary organization. They believe it is the Creator's intent that all people are provided those things that protect human dignity and make for healthy life: adequate food and shelter, meaningful work, safe communities, health care, and education. A Minnesota Without Poverty is dedicated to the vision that every child can thrive. The Legislative Commission to End Poverty has set the year 2020 as the goal for Minnesotans to come together and guarantee every child a safe, permanent home, quality childcare, education, and health care. This week we'll hear from Nancy Maeker, Director of "A Minnesota Without Poverty"

With the emergence of our global village, it is becoming increasingly difficult to turn our backs on those whose views conflict with our own. Fortunately, our expanded context has helped humankind develop new ways of understanding conflict - including new tools for responding to conflict. Later this month, the Human Rights Center of the University of Minnesota will be hosting a gathering called "The Gifts and Challenges of Controversy: Tools for Deep Connection" - an afternoon and evening of lectures, breakout sessions, and performance. This Sunday the Reverend Peg Chemberlin will welcome the gathering's keynote speaker, Kenneth Fox - along with other conference organizers Ira Gordon and Jane Haan - to discuss ways we can better handle controversy.

October 5 - CHUM (Churches United in Ministry) - Jim Soderberg and Fred Lund

In 1973, Duluth became the site of a new movement in outreach ministry. It was then that ten churches in the central hillside community banded together to offer support services to the low-income residents of the area. That original group was named CHUM, standing for Central Hillside United Ministry. It was one of the first ecumenical social services organizations in the nation. In the thirty five years since then, CHUM has expanded the definition of its name to Churches United in Ministry - because the work they do has expanded beyond one neighborhood. The consortium of member churches is now a long list of Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Episcopal, Quaker, Baptist, all Presbyterian communities - all working for the common good of Duluthians in need. This week we'll be joined by Jim Soderberg, Executive Director of CHUM, and the pastor from one of CHUM's member congregations, Reverend Fred Lund from Eastside Community Church.
