SUMMARY:Civic Saturday: The Reflective Citizen
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a reflective citizen? A person who knows the value of showing up for others and who does so in a spirit of open-mindedness\, responsibility\, and whole-heartedness? We’ll explore these habits of citizenship while building community by sharing poetry\, songs\, and civic fellowship together. \nCivic Saturday is a civic analogue to a faith gathering. It’s a gathering of friends and strangers in a common place to nurture a spirit of shared purpose. But it’s not about a particular faith tradition nor is it trying to replace faith. It’s about the shared societal values that should work to unite us — liberty\, equality\, freedom\, and self-government — even if we argue how to achieve these ideals! \nJoin with others to sing\, hear poetry\, share civic readings\, listen to a civic sermon about being a “Reflective Citizen”\, while also building community connections through small group dialogue. \nABOUT CIVIC SATURDAYS: The Civic Saturday model was pioneered by Seattle-based Citizen University in 2016 and strives to be a “great democratic self-cure.” In a time of deep political divide\, we must create new approaches to fostering a shared sense of moral and civic purpose. In a country held together not by race or religion\, but by a common creed\, how do we maintain a sense of national cohesion? How do we create values-based fellowship? How do we convert that creed and those values into useful action? Civic Saturday seeks to answer these questions\, and many more.
