The Week After--Two Invitations to Join The Convocation Unscripted+LIVE Conversations
You're invited! Join Diana, Robby, Kristin, and Jemar on Thursday 11/14 (virtual) and Sunday 11/17 (in Atlanta) for a live conversation about the election and our nation's future.
Dear Convocation Unscripted community,
It was so meaningful to be together with everyone last Thursday in the wake of the election news. We were overwhelmed by the response from you all—both personally and, as some of you encountered (apologies again!), technically when we hit a cap of 500 people on our webinar. I’m happy to report that we’ve doubled our webinar capacity to 1,000 going forward, so we should not have that problem again.
Today, we’re announcing two opportunities to join us for live conversations about faith, democracy, and where and who we are as a nation. We hope you’ll join us and help spread the word to like minded folks in your networks.
11/14 (Virtual): The Convocation Unscripted+LIVE Webinar
Given the response and requests to bring everyone together again, we’ve decided to also record this week’s session of The Convocation Unscripted as a free live Zoom webinar. We’re hoping you will join us on Thursday, 11/14, at 5:00 PM ET.
Here’s how it will work. If you’d like to reserve a spot (it’s free but limited to the first 1,000 registrants), please click on the button below to register. Once you register, you’ll receive the zoom link for the event. Cameras and audio will only be on for The Convocation Unscripted team, but we’ll have the chat open for interaction, encouragement, and questions. We hope to see you there!

Two days after the 2024 presidential election, which resulted in the return to power of Donald Trump, we held our first Convocation Unscripted+LIVE webinar. Jemar hosted this conversation with over 500 participants. We talked about our deep disappointment that a majority of American voters chose to return to power a twice-impeached convicted felon and a…
And here are the most recent post-election posts from each of our Substack newsletters.
I am still stunned by Robert's statistics indicating that the greatest disparity of voting exists between white evangelicals and black evangelicals. Sunday, and now Voting Tuesday, remain the most segregated days of the week.
Those of us who still consider ourselves white evangelicals have work to do. Jim Wallis joins a black congregation. I too now worship with a congregation led by a black pastor. This is just one practical step we can make...
I wish I could drive up to Atlanta to see this in person, just not able to right now. I love Winnie and you'll be right at home there.
