Description

Rev. Gen Heywood offers an overview of how the Faith Leaders and Leaders of Conscience of Eastern Washington and North Idaho have experimented with using visual arts, storytelling, vigils, and solidarity to raise up our common humanity in an environment of hostility from Christian Dominionist and white supremacists.

This presentation includes

  1. The story of developing an interfaith and non-faith coalition to respond thoughtfully and quickly to racism, poverty, violence, and ecological devastation.
  2. An overview of how the three core principles, 1. Show up 2. Risk failure to gain success and 3. It doesn’t matter who gets the credit – just get the job done, have been experienced.
  3. Insight into plans developing through learning from other countries about the use of the arts in public spaces to own the crimes of our national and local past.

Eastern Washington and North Idaho’s past and present history offers a unique setting to experiment with addressing the wrongs of our distant and recent past. Faith Leaders and Leaders of Conscience have built relationships with people of differing faiths and community organizations that seek to overcome racism, poverty, violence, and ecological devastation. People of faith and non-faith organizations working together can raise the conscience of our leaders and neighbors. The use of the arts uniquely raises our common humanity and helps develop ways to heal the divisions in our communities and potentially across the world.
