SUMMARY:Spoken Word Celebration: Oregon Poets Read from “Just Imagine: Oregon Horizons”
DESCRIPTION:At various sites throughout Oregon\, several eminent Oregon poets will recite their poems from the anthology “Just Imagine: Oregon Horizons.” The volume examines how the historical idea of our frontier place and the experience of those who have settled here have influenced our particular character as we look out at our horizons to recall those in whose footsteps we walk and to envision our own effect on Oregon lands for a thriving future. As our horizons affect who we are and become\, so do places carry the imprint of those who have dwelt there. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nAccessible parking\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Consider This: The Changing Roles of Religious Spaces in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Join Oregon Humanities on Tuesday\, March 31 at 7pm for a conversation about the changing role of religious spaces in Oregon. Guests Frank So\, director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon; Rev. Amy Jayne of Cove Ascension School and Conference Center; and Brandon Rhodes\, D.Min. of Coburg Commons will join Adam Davis onstage in La Grande to explore how faith communities across the state are adapting church-owned land and buildings to meet emerging community needs. As third spaces fade from civic life and church membership drops\, many communities in Oregon are exploring how church-owned land and buildings can adapt. \nThis conversation is part of the 2025–26 Consider This series\, Beyond 250. 2026 will be the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, and we’re looking at what this milestone means: How do we think about and experience equality\, freedom\, independence\, tyranny\, justice\, union\, and other ideas central to the Declaration and to our nation’s understanding of itself? How has the Declaration shaped the country we live in today\, and how might we shape its future? \nTickets can be purchased through the venue’s website. The event will also be streamed live\, for free\, on the Oregon Humanities YouTube channel. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue
