EPES Stories of Hope September 2020 Newsletter

Posted on News by Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ) · October 26, 2020 2:51 PM · 1 reaction

This newsletter shares stories of hope from EPES community action in Chile during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Stories in this newsletter center around the theme of neighborhood soup kitchens referred to as the olla común or "collective pot" in English. EPES describes their work supporting these neighborhood soup kitchens including one soup kitchen specifically supporting the Haitian immigrant community.

On Sunday, October 25, 2020 Chileans voted overwhelmingly, in an almost 80% majority, to rewrite the Chilean constitution, replacing the existing constitution from the Pinochet-era. Moving forward, the people of Chile will elect 155 members who will draft a new charter which then will be voted on by the Chilean people in 2022.

One year after the social outbreak: A letter from the Theological Community of Chile

Posted on News by Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ) · October 21, 2020 2:08 PM · 1 reaction

From the Theological Community of Chile

Dear sisters and brothers, in our work of ecumenical witness amid the pandemic and the theological-pastoral challenges of the 21st century:

Yesterday, October 18, we commemorated a year since the "Social Outbreak" in Chile. There is talk of a "before and after October 18, 2019" in Chile's current political situation. It has been a time where demonstrations, demands, challenges, imagining the new have taken a large part of the agenda.

Popular Education in Health (EPES) in Chile Responds to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Posted on News by Global Ministries (Disciples of Christ and United Church of Christ) · March 31, 2020 12:14 PM

“We must take extreme measures to respond to this crisis. But the lesson from our sacred traditions is that these measures, where they align with the basic demands of justice, cannot be temporary. Plague in the Bible is not a storm weathered before a return to normalcy. It’s a call to come together in new ways in order to survive, hold the powerful responsible for their unjust policies and the lies they’ve told to cover up injustice, and rebuild on foundations of love and justice.”

Lack of Justice Threatens Peace in Chile

Posted on News by Angel Luis Rivera-Agosto · October 23, 2019 11:10 AM · 1 reaction

Chile's government is extending a curfew in the capital for a third straight day.  Shops and businesses have been looted and set on fire, and metro stations vandalized and closed to the public in widespread demonstrations over economic inequalities, living costs, and rising debt in the usually stable country.  What started as a protest against the rising of the price for subway tickets in the capital city Santiago escalated into deep-seated anger among ordinary Chileans who feel they have been excluded from the country's economic rise.  Thousands of demonstrators took part in a massive protest in Santiago's Plaza Italia Monday, banging drums and pans and calling for the ousting of conservative President Sebastian Pinera, in protests that have paralyzed one of Latin America's biggest cities.  Clashes between protesters and security forces have led to the deaths of 11 people, with eight killed on Sunday in the most deadly day of demonstrations. Many of the deaths occurred during looting when supermarkets were set on fire.  See a report of the most recent events here: https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/22/americas/chile-protests-inequality-curfew-intl-hnk/index.html
