Pennsylvania church surrenders part of the proceeds of the sale of its manse to the Lenape people

The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania

LOUISVILLE — During worship on the final Sunday in Advent, First Presbyterian Church of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, formally surrendered 15% of the proceeds from the recent sale of its church manse to descendants of the Lenape people, the Indigenous stewards of the land on which the church now stands. The 74-minute worship service can be viewed here

“It is important for us to frame this act as a surrender — an acknowledgement that these funds are not ours to hold,” said the Rev. Jonathan Britt, the church’s pastor. “We cannot separate the resources we have from the colonial history that displaced the Lenape people, whose stewardship of this land was sacred and enduring. Surrendering these funds is a small but tangible step in repairing a fractured relationship and honoring the humanity and dignity of the Lenape people.” 

Britt said the approximately $27,000 that was surrendered during the service on Dec. 22 was determined in conversation with Restorative Actions, an economic equity initiative born from the intersection of theology, justice and economics. The 15% of the manse’s sale proceeds represents not only a financial acknowledgement but a spiritual and moral response to the harm done to Indigenous communities, Britt noted. 

During his Dec. 22 sermon, Britt drew from a devotion by the Rev. Dr. William Yoo of Columbia Theological Seminary published in “Boundless,” an anti-colonial Advent devotional published by Unbound. In his devotional, Yoo points out that abolitionists including William Lloyd Garrison lifted up Jesus’ ministry as an important reason for their advocacy. “When other Christians criticized him as an instigator of disorder whose activism imperiled the union of the Northern and Southern states, Garrison invited them to open their Bibles and read texts such as

Black Hawk Rock: Part 2

In 1882 a second edition of the autobiography was published by Patterson.

The newly-added appendix contained Black Hawk’s account of his visits to Shokokon, the area that is now called Burlington, Iowa:

“A new village had been started at Shokokon (Flint Hills) by the whites, and some of its people have already built good houses, but the greater number are still living in log cabins. They should have retained its Indian name, Shokokon, as our people have spent many happy days in this village.

“Here too, we had our council house in which the braves of the Sac nation have assembled many times to listen to my words of counsel. It was situated in a secluded but romantic spot in the midst of the bluffs, not far from the river, and on frequent occasions, when it became necessary to send out parties to make war on the Sioux to redress our grievances, I have assembled my braves here to give them counsel before starting on the warpath.

“And here, too, we have often met when starting out in the fall for our fall and winter’s hunt, to counsel in regard to our several locations for the winter. In those days the Fur Company had a trading house here and the only neighbors were the resident Indians of Tama’s town, located a few miles above on the river.”

Black Hawk, however, did not just counsel for war against the Sioux. In the spring of 1832 Black Hawk began to gather followers near present day Fort Madison, Iowa.

Black Hawk had been told that the British would send him weapons and supplies and that the other tribes would come to his aid.

He planned to return to Illinois and retake his homeland which he believed, for good reason, was wrongly…

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Finds New Life in 2025 at Mohegan Sun Arena: Tickets, Venue, Timings, Here’s All We Know

Taylor Swift will not be performing live for a while. Thousands of fans were in tears after the singer wrapped up her final show of the record-breaking Eras Tour. And it looks like the aftershocks of the tour have not fully worn off for the fans. As a result, dedicated Swifties are finding their own ways to relive the electrifying musical celebration of Swift. Recently, a band devoted to the pop queen announced one such tribute.

They are paying homage to Swift’s tour with a fun new show at a popular American casino, which is going to be very similar to Eras Tour.

Even though Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has come to a close, one tribute band, Taylor Nation, is doing their best to give Swifties a little slice of that experience in Connecticut next month. The tribute show, called Taylor Nation: A Tribute to All Eras of Taylor Swift, will feature the top live band singing along with the iconic pop star. It will feel just like the Eras Tour, with songs from all of Swift’s 11 eras. The show will kick off at 4 PM on Sunday, February 2nd, live from Mohegan Sun Arena. Tickets for the show will go on sale on January 10th via Ticketmaster.com.

Fans wanting in on the tribute experience can also grab tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office on Saturday, January 11th, as long as they are still available.

Brandywine Valley Trail Plan Is A Go

The Brandywine Valley Trail Plan at First State National Historical Park can move forward. The plan defines a designated shared-use 27.8-mile trail network that will provide high-quality recreational opportunities, promote visitor safety and enjoyment and preserve connectivity with leased property within the Brandywine Valley section of the park and neighboring properties. 
 
Today, the National Park Service (NPS) issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the plan. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the EA considers alternatives, including a no-action alternative, as well as environmental impacts. The EA was presented to the public during three public meetings and was available for public comment from July 2, 2024 to August 1, 2024. After consultation with the Delaware Tribe of Indians, Delaware Nation, the Delaware State Historic Preservation Office, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office and local government and considering public comments, the NPS selected the proposed action alternative.

The selected action will: 

  • Designate a 27.8 mile shared-use trail network, which includes the administrative roads. All trails will be open to hiking, equestrian use and bicycling (including Class 1 and Class 3 e-bikes). The trail network incorporates 15 miles of existing trails and will add 8.5 miles of new trails (to be constructed). The NPS will close and restore to natural condition a total of 8.1 miles of trails. In addition, 4.3 miles of administrative roads will be open to public recreational use. 
  • Reduce impacts on soil erosion and water resources by closing or rerouting trails with excessive slopes and reducing water crossings.   
  • Take roughly 5-years to implement. Progress can be found on the park’s website. 

The FONSI, EA and related documents are available on the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment website. The FONSI establishes…
