The ICCC Welcomes Jasmin Greene!
 
I am excited to introduce myself to the wider community of the International Council of
Community Churches in my role as Office Administrator. I am grateful to be joining the ICCC
and to support its leadership, member churches, and ongoing work through this position.
The role of Office Administrator is, in many ways, a connective one. My work centers on
supporting the Executive Director, elected officers, and Board by helping to ensure that the
Council’s daily operations are organized, responsive, and sustainable. This includes
administrative coordination, communication support, managing correspondence and schedules,
maintaining digital systems and records, assisting with reporting and financial tracking, and
supporting meetings, events, and publications. Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but
it plays an important role in allowing the Council’s ministries and programs to move forward
with clarity and care.
 
I see this position as rooted in service and stewardship. Strong administrative systems create
space for collaboration, discernment, and thoughtful decision-making. Whether coordinating
virtual meetings, responding to inquiries, supporting newsletters and digital platforms, or helping
to maintain efficient workflows, my goal is to offer consistent, reliable support and to closely
attend to details that matter.
 
My professional background includes administrative and communications work with nonprofit
and community-based organizations. I have spent much of my career supporting teams whose
work is mission-driven and people-centered, and I am especially drawn to organizations
committed to justice, equity, and collective care. I also have an academic background in
psychology, which informs my approach to communication, organization, and problem-
solving, with a focus on context, relationships, and the human dimensions of institutional life.
Outside of work, I am based in Brooklyn, New York, where I live with my 9 year old son. I
enjoy tending to what I like to call my “urban jungle,” spending time gardening on my balcony
and turning my living room into my little green paradise. I also love to travel and have lived in
several places over the years, including London, Costa Rica, Spain, and most recently Berlin,
Germany, where my son was born. Living and working across different communities and
cultures has shaped my appreciation for adaptability, listening, and the many ways people build
meaningful connections and shared purpose.
 
As I settle into this role, I am committed to learning the rhythms, needs, and priorities of the
ICCC and to supporting its work with care, discretion, and attentiveness. I look forward to
working closely with leadership and engaging with the broader ICCC community in ways that
strengthen communication, organization, and collaboration.
 
My contact information is icccjg@att.net. My office hours are Monday and Tuesdays 12-5pm EST, Wednesday and Thursday 9-2pm EST

Allied Against Hate: A Toolkit for Faith Communities

Every day across our nation, countless faith leaders from diverse traditions are working together to counter hate and promote peace with justice. Religious leaders and faith communities are well-positioned to use their moral authority to de-escalate conflict, foster respect for the inherent dignity of every human being, and point communities toward hope and healing. We are deeply
grateful to these leaders for their work and for sharing their wisdom with us. This toolkit describes practical steps faith communities can take to prevent acts of hate, discrimination, and
bias, and to demonstrate solidarity with targeted communities if such acts tragically do occur.

This document fulfills one of the more than 100 commitments made by the federal government in the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, released in May 2023. In the
strategy, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships—in cooperation with federal agency Centers for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and diverse faith leaders—pledged to produce a toolkit for faith communities on standing in
solidarity to counter antisemitism and other forms of hate.
 
 
How the Faith Community Can Respond to the Issue of Suicide
 
Rev. Dr. Wendy Childress is a retired military Chaplain who recently started WC Ministries. This ministry provides services and programs for the youth, women, families, and the economically disadvantaged in Riverside County, California.  In this presentation, Rev. Dr. Childress provides an excellent overview of how the faith community can respond to the growing crisis related to suicide.
 
NATIONAL FAITH AND BLUE WEEKEND
 
National Faith & Blue Weekend is based on the premise that strong communities are built on mutual respect and understanding. Law enforcement and faith institutions are key pillars of each community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive.
