SUMMARY:From Kelpius to the Rod of Iron: Cults and New Religious Movements in Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:The state of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia are home to a diverse array of churches and religious organizations. This program will outline the history of some of the most famous religious monuments of our region. We will begin in the 17th century with the figure of Johannes Kelpius\, a German Pietist who established an apocalyptic religious community in the Wissahickon Valley. We will then move to the 19th century to examine the Theosophical Society\, a new religion that merged East and West\, whose United Lodge is still located in Center City. We will conclude by discussing the Iron Rod Ministries\, an offshoot of the Korean American Unification Church\, which until recently was headquartered in Wayne County\, east of the city of Scranton. \nOri Tavor is a Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies and Director of the MA Program at the department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, the University of Pennsylvania. He studies the history of utopian thought\, new religion movements\, and the intersection between religion and the state. \nAttend this program in person in the Education\, Philosophy and Religion Department\, or view it live on Zoom by registering at https://freelibrary-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cNQ2q3fvQ4CqWBN9IgeFXw#/registration

SUMMARY:Power Politics: Oral History Series
DESCRIPTION:A series to explore Black and Puerto Rican political thought\, activism\, and storytelling through screenings of oral history interviews. \nThe Power Politics Listen-Ins at the Free Library of Philadelphia is a series hosted by Scribe Video Center to explore Black and Puerto Rican political thought\, activism\, and community storytelling through screenings of oral history interviews and discussion. \nThe April 14th oral history will focus on John Churchville (b. 1941). Churchville will be joining us for a screening of his interview as well as a Live Q&A session. \nABOUT JOHN CHURCHVILLE:\n“Black Power stressed that Black people should be in control of Black communities. In Philadelphia\, early Black Power initiatives included projects to raise awareness of African and African American history and culture\, including the Freedom Library on Ridge Avenue in North Philadelphia\, opened in 1964 by John Churchville (b. 1941). Churchville and other activists who gathered at Freedom Library formed Philadelphia’s first Black Power political organization\, the Black People’s Unity Movement (BPUM)\, in 1965.” – The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia \nFuture sessions: \nApril 21st – Barbara Easley-Cox \nApril 28th – TBD \nMay 5th – Bilal Qayyum \nMay 12th – Rev.
