Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians, Jews, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities.
Our study leader for this session will be Mother Sara Palmer!

Founded in 1917, the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia represents over a century of dedication to supporting women in the legal profession and advancing justice in Alexandria, VA and the Washington, DC metropolitan region. The organization was established by pioneers like Ellen Spencer Mussey during a transformative era when women were largely excluded from law schools, the practice of law, and bar associations themselves. Today, the WBA continues its founding mission of maintaining professional integrity, promoting the administration of justice, advancing and protecting the interests of women lawyers, fostering mutual improvement, and cultivating a spirit of friendship among members. The association envisions a world where all women lawyers are empowered to achieve personal and professional success, where members are meaningfully connected and mentored, and where diversity, equity, and inclusion define the organization's culture and leadership. Open to all who value its mission, the WBA welcomes attorneys, legal professionals, and supporters committed to strengthening the legal profession. Through meaningful connections, substantive programming, and community service initiatives, the organization works to raise the visibility of women in law and promote their elevation to leadership positions. The WBA's commitment extends beyond its membership to the broader community, particularly through the WBA Foundation's work supporting nonprofits serving women and girls in the legal field throughout the DC area.
Founded in 1985 by a group of concerned African-American women in Northern Virginia, Black Women United for Action (BWUFA) emerged from a simple but powerful recognition: highly educated and professionally talented Black women were underrepresented in decision-making positions in education and government. What began as a local initiative in Alexandria, VA has evolved into a diverse, ethnically inclusive volunteer organization with members spanning the Washington Metropolitan area, multiple states along the Eastern Seaboard, and Canada. BWUFA's mission centers on advocating for women's concerns and improving the lives of impoverished, vulnerable families through empowerment and self-sufficiency approaches. The organization values collaborative partnerships and maintains a deep commitment to family preservation and community development. Beyond direct service provision, BWUFA serves as a cultural steward, raising awareness of overlooked chapters in African-American history and highlighting the community's contributions to building the nation. The organization's signature initiatives, including the annual Mount Vernon Slave Memorial Wreath Laying Ceremony, reflect their dedication to honoring heritage while serving present-day community needs. Operating from Alexandria, BWUFA continues to be distinguished by its diverse membership, grassroots methodology, and unwavering focus on uplifting at-risk communities and creating opportunities for vulnerable families to achieve self-sufficiency and dignity.
Since 1973, the American Indian Higher Education Consortium has been the collective voice for tribal higher education in the United States. What began as a support network for six pioneering tribally controlled colleges has evolved into a movement encompassing 37 Tribal Colleges and Universities dedicated to providing culturally rooted, holistic education to American Indian communities. Based in Alexandria, VA, AIHEC represents the shared mission of member institutions created and chartered by tribal governments to serve their people through locally based, supportive academic programs. The consortium embodies a commitment to strengthening Indigenous languages, cultures, and tribal sovereignty while creating pathways to economic opportunity in some of America's most underserved regions. AIHEC's member institutions serve as vital community anchors, operating in rural areas where they provide not only post-secondary education but also economic development and social stability. The organization's leadership structure reflects its democratic values—governance by the presidents of member TCUs ensures that decisions serve the authentic needs of tribal communities. AIHEC's advocacy work addresses systemic inequities in federal funding and policy, championing the unique contributions of tribal colleges to rural America and national development. Through collaborative initiatives and member support, AIHEC continues the foundational work of building educational excellence, preserving cultural heritage, and empowering American Indian students to thrive in their communities and beyond.
