Glendale Baptist Church TIPL Faith Partner

August 2, 2017 by trpadmin

For Glendale Baptist Church of Nashville, concerns over racism and economic injustice came into sharper focus during the debates over the desegregation of Nashville’s public schools in 1971. Public positions taken by church leadership in support of desegregation efforts, along with changes in leadership style, caused the majority of church members ultimately to leave the church.

Today Glendalers have forged new understandings of the church and Christian discipleship.  These members proclaimed a strong belief in God’s grace and mercy and held that God’s disciples should work as agents for change in the world.  During this process, the church embraced gender equality, with both women and men serving as deacons and as heads of the divisions that carry out the work of the church.

TIPL welcomes this historic justice church as a faith group partner.

TIPL at the April IPL Annual Meeting and Climate March

May 17, 2017 by trpadmin

At the end of April, TIPL Steering Committee Vice-Chair, Paul Slentz, and TIPL-Nashville Coordinator, Dan Joranko, attended the annual National Interfaith Power & Light Conference. The two days at the Bon Secours Retreat Center outside of Baltimore were packed with networking, success sharing, organizing workshops, and interfaith worship. Many of the 50+ attendees representing 30 states strategized how to move forward as a national interfaith movement in the face of the current political challenges and during a time of transition for the organization, as IPL Founder and Executive Director, Rev. Sally Bingham, looks toward retirement in the next couple of years. On Thursday, April 27, everyone headed to D.C. for a lobby day on Capitol Hill. Dan and Paul met with staff members from the offices of Senators Alexander and Corker and 5th District (Nashville) Representative, Jim Cooper. On Saturday, Paul and Dan were joined by other TIPL members, including Steering Committee President, Jennifer Alldredge, for the People’s Climate March. Two hundred thousand walked from The Capitol to the White House — a brightly colorful and highly audible witness on behalf of this beautiful, bountiful, miraculously complex planet and all its creatures.
