The All Mighty Movement of God will be celebrating their 2011 Feast of Sukkot in Troy Davis Park. The holy days of the feast are October 13th – 19th and October 20th and 21st.
Sukkot is an interfaith festival which calls on people to come and share with Jews, clergy, ministries, Christians and others from all walks of life and faith. If you’d like to learn more about it, come down to Troy Davis Park (91 Peachtree St NE Atlanta, GA) and check it out!
The All Mighty Movement of God is in solidarity with Occupations around the nation. They seek to stop the crisis that brings homelessness and joblessness, poverty and brokenness, and division in families to our communities and our nation.
This post makes the occupy atlanta movement look ridiculous. “Feast of Sukkot”?
Unless you’re an atheist, your religion is just as ridiculous. If you are, I completely agree. But this isn’t about how crazy some people’s ideas are, it’s about the economic and social inequality, and I think we should stick to that message. Tell the churchs the same thing we tell the politicians, you can ally with us, but we don’t ally with anyone.
I was cool with this until I started watching the livestream and realized we were gonna hear more about their fairy tales than about the occupation. I’m glad you have your faith, but the problems of this country won’t be solved by it, or it would have by now. Keep religion out of politics just like money.
The post won’t make occupy Atlanta “look ridiculous” to the millions of people around the world who honor the holiday.
I appreciate the support of all communities of faith for this cause. But when I listened to the live feed of the All Mighty Movement of God on the OA site, what I heard was a speaker saying “it doesn’t matter what religion you are” followed by repeated references to Jesus and the Bible and biblical prophecy. I have no problem with anyone’s religion, but I don’t feel represented by this message. I, like many people, don’t have a religion, let alone a Christian one. I would respectfully ask religious groups to remain mindful that not everyone shares their beliefs, but that we can work to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, which means refraining from proselytizing.
