What is your own personal power? What is your community power?

NAME Title/Role (for person doing the Define Power slides)

What is power?

Power is the individual or collective ability to be or to act in ways that fulfill our potential. Its purpose is to be used for good, but it can be misused to control, dominate, hurt and oppress others.

Relational: Based on person-to-person affiliation Positional: Based on status and benefits of a specific role Economic: Based on how society’s resources are distributed Civic: Based on the ability to change political or social systems Examples of Types of Power

How is power used for good or misused?

Uses of Power Example: Addressing hunger in the U.S. MISUSEGOODIGNORING Congress cutting food stamp benefits to millions of families. United Methodists advocating with others for restoration of cuts to the federal food stamp program. Society allowing corporations to price healthy foods at higher costs than unhealthy foods.

Uses of Power Example: The Church and Native Americans MISUSEGOODIGNORING Christian Church and European powers colluding to ensure the Church had legal possession of indige- nous people’s lands. Acts of Repentance Working group established as part of UMW Board of Directors. United Methodist Church, in the sale of land, ignoring its role in continuing to benefit from the Doctrine of Discovery.

How does power impact how we see and tell history?

Examples of United Methodist Women Collective Power Building Capacity: Supporting 96 National Mission Institutions and funding the construction of the Church Center for the United Nations Advocacy: Fighting for rights and access of female clergy

Examples of United Methodist Women Collective Power Education: Establishing priority issues for 2016−2020: economic inequality, mass incarceration, climate justice and maternal and child health Leadership Development: Writing and advocating for the United Methodist Church to adopt the Charter for Racial Justice

Where do you recognize UMW collective power?

Leader: The Scriptures have opened us to thinking about power, its uses and abuses, and our role in what happens. As we see the different motivations of Haman and Mordecai, help us to discern our own impulses to act. Let your Holy Spirit of conviction continue to stir our hearts to examine ourselves and our reactions.

All:Do not let us be “thrown into confusion” by actions that may come from selfish motives. Guide us to ask, “Who suffers? Who benefits?” and to act.

Leader:Remind us, God of Esther and Mordecai and God of the Jews, that we have both individual power as well as collective power to be used for the good of all.

All: Give us conviction to look for the truth, to pray for guidance and to always hunger and thirst after Your righteousness. We trust Your promise to fill us.

Leader: Go with us into this day. All:Amen.
