BLACK HISTORY MONTH BLACK HISTORY MONTH
01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024
Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's. We hope conversations might be started that continue long after the end of October.
Here's a short intro (1:16) for 2020:
A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God:
So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising.
The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37)
N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.
1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.
So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott? (Find out more below.)
A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)
Loving God,
Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.
In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.
Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue. Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!
We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

United Nations Day United Nations Day
24/10/2024
Here's a prayer video (0:45) for United Nations Day.
So, what do the United Nations do? CLICK HERE for a 1:41 video answering that very question!
- Do you think the United Nations is working well?
- Why do you think this?
- What are the challenges facing the UN at the moment?
- What can each of us do, as individuals, to support the work of the UN?
- Can you think about how the world would be different without the UN?
In 1948, the UN passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. CLICK HERE for a 1:41 video outlining these!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
We reflect on our fellow citizens of the world;
each with amazing potential;
each with emotions;
each with the same basic needs.
We pray for all of them and resolve to work towards that day when all people of all nations will indeed be united in working for the common good.
AMEN
