Film: Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem
2023-05-07 17:30 - 19:00 | On Zoom
America’s Misdemeanor Problem exposes how our country’s history of racial injustice evolved into an enormous abuse of criminal justice power. Thirteen million people a year — most of them poor and people of color — are abused by this system.
Through first-person accounts of those charged under the Black Codes of the Reconstruction era paralleled with the outrageous stories of people trapped in the system today, the film brings to light the unfolding of a powerful engine of profits and racial inequality. With the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, this film provides historical context and examines America’s history of racist oppression.
Presented by the TPC Racial Justice Task Force. Join on Zoom.

Music on Centre presents Windborne
2023-05-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Theodore Parker Church sanctuary, 1859 Centre Street, West Roxbury, Massachusetts, 02132
“The most exciting vocal group in a generation,” Windborne’s captivating show draws on the singers’ deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable.
With a 20-year background studying polyphonic music around the world, Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan share a vibrant energy onstage with a blending of voices that can only come from decades of friendship alongside dedicated practice. The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries, illuminating and expanding on the profound power and variation of the human voice.

But there’s another, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music’s longtime alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Their songs burst with lyrics that, while penned decades or centuries ago, still ring true in modern times, and Windborne’s dynamic harmonies breathe new life into these songs.

Admission is $25. Cash preferred, but credit card payments are possible. For information or to reserve tickets, go to musiconcentre@gmail.com. All are welcome!

First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton (FUUSN) has invited TPC to join them for a three-day retreat at the Ferry Beach Retreat & Conference Center, near Saco, on the beautiful coast of southern Maine. We are excited about this new venture and hope you will consider joining us. All are welcome.
On the agenda: s’mores around the campfire, arts and crafts, sports, talent shows, discussion groups, singing, dancing, biking, sand sculpture building, apple-picking, walks through the woods, and wonderful meals with friends, all on miles of beautiful, sand beaches.
The retreat will be held on the weekend of October 13-16. For more information, contact Brandi Hopkins.
Here is the link to sign up: Ferry Beach Registration 2023. Per person rates are on the form.
What’s Ferry Beach place like? Ferry Beach is a small UU conference center on a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach in Maine. It’s a collection of mostly renovated wood frame buildings from the last century. The main building has a lobby with a fireplace, comfy chairs and a wrap-around porch that faces the ocean. There is a huge dining room with a nice, big porch where we share catered meals.
What do we do? Some of us stay put at the beach all weekend, playing volleyball, basketball, doing puzzles, creating arts and crafts, or engaging in deeper dive discussions around significant issues. Others venture out to enjoy museums in Portland, apple picking, environmental ecology trips, kayaking, or shopping at the outlets. We cheer brave performers at the talent/no talent show. Mostly, we form deeper connections with each other through shared meals, play, and the beauty of the ocean.
Basic Ferry Beach information:

Housing is in rustic wooden buildings with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Some units have been renovated.
The drive takes approximately 2 – 2.5 hours. Ferry Beach is available to us from 4pm Friday until 2pm Monday.
Humans only, NO pets allowed.

Music on Centre presents Guy Davis
2023-10-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Theodore Parker Church parish hall, 70 Corey St., West Roxbury, Massachusetts, 02132
Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, actor, author, and songwriter. Guy uses a blend of roots, blues, folk, rock, rap, spoken word, and world music to comment on, and address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. His background in theater is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, “Welcome to My World”, and “Got Your Letter In My Pocket”. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep, and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking. [from Guy’s website]
Admission is $25. Cash preferred; cards are okay. Outstanding refreshments available during intermission.

Their lively performances have been a favorite at many local venues, by themselves or playing with other Boston-based bands.

Brian Cartwright and Karen Sauer — Brian on guitar and Karen on piano offer an eclectic repertoire that spans the centuries up to the present day.
