“Religion, Racism & Reconciliation” is a ground-breaking documentary that explores the ways in which racism intertwined with American religion. It follows the stories of individuals and communities of faith (including Calvary Lutheran Church in Minneapolis) who have engaged in addressing the issues of systemic racism, such as — voting rights, income inequality and mass incarceration.

We will hear from a broad range of academic and religious luminaries who provide historical and sociological perspectives on the contradiction of an American society that values individual freedom and equality while ignoring the realities of slavery, segregation and racism. The documentary shows that while religion plays a part in our racial division, it also is a meaningful force in our nation’s healing and reconciliation.

The event is free, but space is limited — please register HERE and invite your friends!

Worship with Mount Olivet on Maundy Thursday. at 7pm.

What is Maundy Thursday?

The word “Maundy” came from the Latin “mandatum” which means “to order” — or command. On Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus’ command to love one another as Jesus has loved us (John 13:34). We also remember the Last Supper where Jesus instituted the sacrament of communion when he gave the disciples bread and wine as his body and blood. During Maundy Thursday worship, communion is celebrated, and then all the things on the altar are removed — symbolizing how Jesus was abandoned by his disciples and his clothes were stripped by soldiers before his crucifixion.

Worship with Mount Olivet on Palm Sunday! One service at 10am followed by continental breakfast in the Fireside Room.
