Justice for All: The Prophets and the Common Good: Clint McCann, Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Eden Theological Seminary (UCC) will be speaking Tuesday, May 26th, 6:30 PM at Bar Harbor Congregational Church. Professor McCann returns to MDI for a discussion on justice, as the Bible defines it — that is, attention to and provisions for those who lives are most vulnerable and threatened. Clint will address the topic of the prophets and their role as advocates for what we might today call "the common good," a concept notably absent from current political and economic arrangements. All are welcome.
The Emmaus Center in Ellsworth is looking for volunteers for the Shelter. In particular, it is really hard to keep our Clothing Closet open on Saturdays now that summer is here and many volunteers are off to their summer jobs. Contact Dawn Coffin, Volunteer Coordinator, 667-3962, volunteer@emmausshelter.org
