He has a B.A. from St. Mary's College of Maryland in Religious Studies, an M.A. in Sexuality Studies from SF State University, and a Ph.D. in Teacher Education and School Improvement from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a concentration in Social Justice Education.</p><p>He is the Founder and CEO of Love and Justice Consulting LLC, an organization that provides leaders with diversity and social justice learning opportunities to increase their capacity to effectively and authentically engage difference. Durryle has spent the last 15 years examining complex social issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty, religious oppression, and various other forms of social oppression and their impact on historically marginalized populations to mitigate those effects.&nbsp;</p><p>As a result, his work centers on dismantling systems of oppression by examining the everyday ways that power, privilege, and oppression work together to limit our human capacity for greatness. As a national trainer, Durryle has worked to provide participants with opportunities to deeply explore what it means to effectively lead within the context of complex, intersecting, and interconnected realities of race, gender, and sexuality. Through dialogue, critical self-reflective practice, and compassionate communication, Durryle 'holds space' for others to do meaningful work that liberates and transforms the personal and collective for our common good.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-event-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/event-type/events" hreflang="en">Events</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sidebars field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> Wed, 03 Jan 2024 17:20:32 +0000 Jenny 6800 at Vespers 2023 /vespers-2023 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Vespers 2023</span> <div class="field field--name-field-event-date field--type-daterange field--label-hidden field__item"> Sunday, December 10, 2023 - 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Jenny</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2023-11-06T14:47:55-05:00" title="Monday, November 6, 2023 - 14:47" class="datetime">Mon, 11/06/2023 - 14:47</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-event-location field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="/event-location/alumnae-chapel-thomson-hall" hreflang="en">Alumnae Chapel, Thomson Hall</a></div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Join us for Ƶ's One Hundred Third Christmas Vespers, a Festival of Lesson and Carols.&nbsp;</p><p>Featuring the Cumberland Valley Chorale, Wilson, and Chambersburg Community readers.&nbsp;</p><p>Free and open to the public.&nbsp;</p><p>Light refreshments and fellowship following the service at Sarah's Coffeehouse.&nbsp;</p><p>You can also watch it streaming online here: <a href="/watch-vespers">/watch-vespers</a></p><p>The program is available to follow along below.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-event-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/event-type/events" hreflang="en">Events</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/event-type/fine-arts-and-dance" hreflang="en">Fine Arts and Dance</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-event-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/juicebox_small/public/2023-11/VespersPoster2023-800.jpg?itok=FJMQN8qh" width="800" height="518" alt="Vespers 2023" class="image-style-juicebox-small"> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-event-files field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-document field--type-file field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Document</div> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/2023-11/vespers-program.pdf" type="application/pdf">vespers-program.pdf</a></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sidebars field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:47:55 +0000 Jenny 6782 at
