A great soul /funk concert. Come and be uplifted by great music and let’s raise as much money as possible to help re-unite children who have been separated from their families at the U.S. border. Tickets are $10. Please click on the link below to buy tickets, bring friends! You may make an extra donation on the night if you so wish. All proceeds will go to this great cause. Rob Duncan has played music all over the world, is a father of 3 and writes music about his experience of being human, man and father.

Here’s what he says about his music and this concert:
My music draws from my life experience; spiritually, soulfully, intellectually, and emotionally. All of my songs represent my musical influences like soul music, blues, jazz, and rock. Deeply soulful, funky, melancholy music with ultimately a message of hope. That’s how I write my music. That’s how I sing my music. I lay my heart on the table and reach you in places that you feel.

I have decided to donate the cover charge from my upcoming show at Rockwood Music Hall 3 to RAICES. RAICES primarily provides two very very important things.
It provides lawyers for the children who have been torn from their parents by ICES, and it pays the Immigration Bond which releases the parent from detention allowing their children to rejoin them. This is where your $10 cover charge for my upcoming show will go. If you wish to donate extra you may do so on the night of the show.

Dear Peace-making, Peace-building, and Peace-keeping Friends of All Souls Church and beyond,

For the past 37 years, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area has been organizing for the abolition of nuclear weapons and power, and in support of nuclear victims. We believe that if the world is to avoid repeating the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we must strive to keep alive the memory of the bombings. This August we again will commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

While we will not have our traditionally provided Hibakusha guests from Japan this August, instead, this summer we welcome Reverend William H. Lamar IV, Senior Pastor at Metropolitan AME Church and an activist in the New Poor People’s Campaign. Reverend Lamar was recently arrested at the Supreme Court protesting against unjust voting laws. He will speak about the links between the issues of racism, poverty, militarism, and ecological devastation and the threat of nuclear annihilation.  In addition, Reverend Rob Hardies, Senior Minister of All Souls Church will speak to his, and All Souls Church’s activism in relationship with the Japanese Survivors, our Japanese Partnerships, and our congregational activism in nuclear weapons abolition.

Reverend Lamar will be joined by Martin Fleck, program director for the Physicians for Social responsibility Nuclear Weapons Abolition Program and by Diane A’Arrigo, Radioactive Waste Project Director at the Nuclear Information & Resource Service. They will discuss current issues concerning nuclear power and nuclear weapons.

This August, HN-DC leadership team member, John Steinbach, will represent the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee at the World Conference Against A & H Bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Upon his return, we will host him in discussions of his contemporary findings from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The website of The Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area is located on the Web at John’s speech will be posted on the website.

Please make every effort to attend one of the Commemoration activities, and please forward this announcement as widely as possible.

Join Rev. Arda Itez and Rev. Dr. Jose Roman for a very special Open Heart Conversation to explore the path of Bhakti-yoga with one of its most beloved spiritual leaders and NY Times best-selling author, his holiness Radhanath Swami, with music by Jahnavi Harrison and friends.

Introduced to the West as The International Society For Krishna Consciousness in 1966 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Bhakti-yoga has traceable roots to the 1st millennium, BCE. What came to be known as the “Hare Krishna Movement” developed into one of the most influential and important spiritual and social reformations in US history.

Sometimes referred to as “love for love’s sake,” Bhakti is one of the four yogic paths to enlightenment and the essence of spiritual perfection, which is to awaken ecstatic love for God.

What was it about the Bhakti tradition that inspired so many people to embrace it as their own?

Who are the Hare Krishnas?

What are the Bhakti tenets, spiritual practices and beliefs?

Discover the beauty behind one of the oldest, most well-known and often misunderstood spiritual traditions, and what led to his life of devotion directly from Radhanath Swami himself.
