The Liberation Library at our Turning Point building (2495 Fox Gap Road, Bangor, PA) is a collection of liberation-oriented books that can often be hard to find in local libraries and bookstores.

Categories of books include: Dismantling White Supremacy, Resistance, Healing Justice, Disability Justice, Queer Studies, Climate Justice, Lenape publications, Theology (especially feminist, postcolonial, and liberation theologies), Biblical studies (again, especially those from a feminist, postcolonial, and liberation perspective), Spiritual…

Let's let church go a little wild! We gather at the beautiful Kirkridge Retreat Center every month, outside, on the first Wednesday, to listen together and in solitude for the voice of the Spirit that speaks through the more-than-human world.
