To the Glory of Life
THEME OF THE MONTH: MEMORY
Dear Friends,
My religion is a good memory. And it’s come to me, a bit at a time. Scraps of synaptic data carefully culled together. There is an art to it that I admire. I liken a good memory to what painters or sculptors, or musicians or gardeners try to do: be as true as they can to the medium in which they’re working. Like artists, I want to work with what I’ve got and capture it honestly. If it’s bad, then paint it to look bad. If it’s confusing or chaotic or romantic or selfish or exciting or sublime, give it that shape by fitting together the parts strewn along the path I’ve taken. Do it in a way that others – years from now – will know my life in all its nuance and complexity. And when I compose the soundtrack, make sure it has whatever soul-stirring melody as well as that dissonant screaming solo. If it still puts a lump in my throat or opens my eyes in the middle of a dream, I want to make sure that’s the way I write it in the score. I believe if I want anyone to truly know and fully appreciate me, or – more importantly – accept, love and respect me, then I need the integrity to make sure my memory is photographically accurate. I hope they’ll see that I tried to turn the picture and get multiple frames of reference as I went.
I’ve discovered that having a good memory is not convenient. Or comfortable. And where, in the past, I’ve failed to be careful carrying out attention to detail, I was often left with random images and fragments that had lost sequence with my other memories. The parts that don’t integrate – where edges don’t match, or the terrain goes from rough to smooth too easily and characters appear or disappear without explanation – these things bother a good memory.
When I was a little boy, I put comfort in charge of my memory. It wasn’t until years later, with hindsight, I figured out this was a mistake. Comfort only liked to save the bits where I looked good: where I was handed the trophy in Little League, or received mentions in the school paper, or the got all As on report cards. The problem with this turned out to be that all my report cards were just clips and fragments because I had clipped out all the parts in the commentary, the re-marks under the ‘high-marks’, where my teacher wondered why I talked so much during lessons or could never remember my homework.
The hardest thing about putting comfort in charge was all the things it couldn’t explain. I didn’t realize until later that Trauma and Shame had keys to the room where my memories were stored. They left things, often just by painting them on the walls (so they couldn’t be removed). At the time I chalked it up to vandalism. Those things were so out of place! They weren’t me! What I failed to account for was how compulsive and round the clock comfort was working to hide or bury anything that disagreed with its editorial content. Comfort often posted and ‘liked’ submissions of food, and it put out countless calls for content to run like advertisements. It especially sought episodes of reckless adventure. Or manufactured intimacy (a cheap knock-off of Love) which I began to feel obliged to provide.
When there weren’t enough comfort-approved entries in my memory to cover things left by trauma or shame, a group was formed called the Perfection Committee. Their job was to denounce anything submitted by anyone other than comfort. And a consortium was created from two partners – Addictions Inc. – which organized stealthy, impulsive expeditions to pursue pleasure and comfort, and Confabulation Enterprises, whose job it was to dress up ordinary and mundane entries to look better than they were. Unfortunately, the work of the Consortium wasn’t careful and kept getting reported to Wasted Time Management, a division of Self-Loathing.
Eventually, a very expensive team was brought in called Worth and Dignity Unlimited. They insisted on going through everything ever submitted to memory. They dug out things that had been mislabeled, had never been filed, or simply weren’t remembered correctly. They studied every single submission with the goal of not filing it until it was fully understood, accepted, and appreciated. After a few years working with them, they provided integrity. All the rough edges started to fit together. Fewer and fewer gaps or discrepancies appeared and a useful map began to come into view.
The Dali Lama says his religion is kindness. We’re on the same page because I believe a good memory IS kindness. At least, integrity is an indispensable step toward it, because in order to reveal kindness around us, we need to feel it within us. Who we are and what we know becomes what we show and what we do. If we lie to ourselves, we lie to others. But we can never really fool anyone.
What we’re seeing all around our culture, with claims of “fake news”, compiling contradictions, and playing fast and loose with facts, is simply a failure to integrate our internal reality with the world around us. It is the result of having our own memory managed in chaotic fashion, which leads to a surplus of internal loathing that breaks all containment and spills out in a flood of loathing unto the world.
I like this quote in our hymnal by Thoreau. I especially like substituting the word “truth” for “life”.
“I did not wish to live what was not [truth], living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of [truth], to live so… as to put to rout all that was not [truth], to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive [truth] into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
I call us all to the religion of kindness and integrity – of making truth from our life, because that is what religion asks us to do. It asks us to see that it is not always comfortable. Turning trauma and shame into something we can accept and appreciate requires the transformative power of love, and it requires the amazing company of people who know it is not addiction or confabulation that make life what we want. It is acceptance, understanding, and the truth of our word and deed. When we do this in our memory, then what comes from our lives will always lead us with integrity.
To the Glory of Life.

Important Info from Stewardship: Pledge Year Redefined
As you may have heard, we are changing our calendar-year pledge cycle to instead track our church’s fiscal year, which begins on July 1. Having a more accurate picture of income over the course of the whole year – instead of guesstimating for 6 months – will give our leaders and staff better information and higher confidence in budgeting and planning. This confidence, and your support, are critical to our covenantal community and to supporting our mission and ministry.
In addition, we’ve had two Stewardship campaigns over the past 12 months: our winter pledge drive and then the special Sustainability Campaign in March when so many of us made fresh commitments to lift up our collective vision and assure its future.
All this has created a bit of ambiguity in pledging. It’s important that all members know that your current mission-critical annual pledge will be extended – just this once – to cover the 6 months from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019; the gap created by switching from calendar-year to fiscal-year pledging. Again, this is the ONLY time we will have an expectation for an 18-month pledge.
To those who have already fulfilled your 18-month pledge, thank you so much for your support and amazing commitment to making a difference in our church and in the wider world.
To those fulfilling your pledge monthly – whether via monthly bill payments or automated debits – just keep right on. We ask that you continue to pay monthly at your current level until the next pledge year begins July 1, 2019. Thank you for your constancy and devotion to our beloved community.
If you normally make a single payment to fulfill your pledge but haven’t yet made your donation, you may choose to:
- Make one payment for 18 months before December 31, 2018 (which maximizes the tax deduction for this year). For example, if your annual pledge is $2000, you would make a one-time payment of $3000 that would cover the 18 months from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
- Make two payments that total an 18-month pledge. For example, if your annual pledge is $2000, you could make one $2000 pledge payment before December 31, 2018 and then another $1000 payment before June 30, 2019.
Of course, any manner you choose to meet your generous commitment and support our call to a more loving and just society is warmly welcomed, and deeply appreciated throughout our community. Fulfilling your pledge sooner provides the church with a predictable cash flow to cover our ongoing covenants with staff, along with inspiring worship services, community engagement, faith development for young and old, and a myriad of beloved and vibrant programs. It also helps keep our carefully husbanded financial reserves intact and available for the proverbial rainy day.
Feel free to speak with Gretchen Goetz, Kit Shaw, Rev. Greg, Jacki Weber, or Finance Assistant Nancy Thompson to ask questions and discuss options for pledge fulfillment, including monthly giving, raising your pledge in December, and transfers of stock or other assets that might have further tax benefits. We’ve also improved our online giving platform. There’s an app for that!
As we travel together through this truly transformative and inspirational time in our church life, we see new energy and new possibilities. Thank you for investing in UUSM and our important work in the world.

On Memory, Growth, and Change as We Come Into Our Covenant
The Seven Principles don’t directly mention it, but memory is an important part of striving to be a justice-based community. The act of remembrance is the building block by which we understand the present and plan for the future. Through memory, we honor our personal truth, our experiences, and those of our shared community. It is how we tell our story.
Congregations, like all communities or families, are not immune from conflict. In recent years, multiple intersecting rifts shook our understanding of who we are, individually and together. In remembering, we feel the tinge of division, how we disconnected from people we love and care for. We wonder, will that feeling subside? Can we forget our differences and get along again?
I believe that an ethical and justice-based community like our own should not strive to forget, but to understand each other through our memory and to embrace that pain of disconnection. We are an interfaith community precisely because we believe we are better when we open ourselves to those who are different, not just through identity or practice, but also to how they think and feel. We strive to honor them exactly for the way they are. We remember to understand where we come from, to find both the places in ourselves that need healing, and the parts of our spiritual or emotional selves we are ready to grow into — for ourselves and for each other.
Our Work Is Changing
The Congregational Covenant of Right Relations manifests the community’s work to live into our shared values of justice and affirmation of all people in the face of division. Right Relation Team’s mission has been to develop more concerted ways to understand each other and live into the Seven Principles through a covenant reflecting our beliefs, our story, our memory.
The Team, in its charge to help us to live into our covenant together, understands that, as individuals and as a community, we are not the same as when we first began this process. Together we do not forget the conflicts, but grow from where they brought change, and so the Team evolves in the ways we aid the community’s growth. We do so not as enforcers of a particular idea of order, but as a group holding space for church members to remember and honor their own development in living into the covenant.
Our work shifts now towards building opportunities for each person to develop an understanding of how conflict is a means for growth. We will continue to support individuals who feel stuck in biases or complex relational dynamics to move from conflict to growth. Yet we remember and honor that through this process many have felt empowered, on their own, to transform situations through understanding and empathy. We plan to provide the community with more forums for listening to one another’s stories, topical dialogue spaces where we share our truths, and workshops in which we embrace those things outside our comfort zones to develop strategies for living into our Covenant in difficult times.
We are grateful for the trust and engagement the community has bestowed on us during these first years of building and living into our Covenant. I am excited to grow with each member of this community, not in spite of our conflicts or differences, but because of them. Together we can honor that growth by remembering not only the pain but the way we haven’t given up on the interdependent web between us.

Young Adults are Back!
When I first started talking with the Young Adults at church about a meeting, I told them, “I’ll be happy if we get five people at brunch.” They were confident that we could easily get five to show up – even more. I had my doubts.
On Sunday October 14 when the Young Adults (ages 18–35) met at Café Zella for brunch, 12 people showed up! I ate crow, but others enjoyed eggs, sandwiches, fruit, and pancakes. Though we were spread out over three tables, the conversation flowed along with the coffee. We took over the café with youthful energy, and made plans to meet the second Sunday of every month after the 11 am service.
There are so many talented, helpful, energetic, and enthusiastic Young Adults who are interested in our congregation. Part of what surprised me about how many showed up to the café is how few of them I had seen at services before. Many I was meeting for the first time. As the Young Adults grow in cohesiveness and community, they will likely be interested in getting more involved in a church where their thoughts and talents are encouraged and respected.
Please invite Young Adults that you know to join us on Sunday November 11, and in future months. Contact me with questions at internminister@uusm.org. I’m looking forward to watching the church and Young Adults grow together.

Faith in Action News:
Faith in Action Phone Bank Supporting Voting Restoration in Florida
UUSM will help support Florida’s revolutionary Voting Restoration Amendment (Amendment 4) on the state ballot this November with a phone bank on Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 9 am to noon at the church.
Florida is one of only four states that ban convicted felons from voting for the rest of their lives. This measure would return the right to vote to Floridians who have done their time and paid their debts by completing their entire sentence – including any probation, parole, and restitution. Nearly 1.4 million people are currently disenfranchised. The amendment would not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses.
UUSM joins our friend, erstwhile congregant, and Sunshine State UU, Brig Johnson, who has asked us to help win back the right to vote for over a million people in Florida. Join us to phone bank Saturday, October 27 from 9 am to noon in Forbes Hall Upstairs Rm 1.

Splinters from the Board:
Board Prepares for Annual Retreat
The UUSM Board of Directors met on Tuesday, October 9.
After check-in, the business meeting began with the unsettling news that our treasurer, Kim Andres, has resigned. The Nominating Committee will be looking for a successor. Some of the circumstances leading to this news will be a subject for the board retreat.
Some of the additional topics for the retreat will include what Rev. Greg refers to in his report as “Big Rocks” – institutional priorities that rise above day-to-day management issues. Many of these are related to leadership development.
There was a discussion/review of the Board Development Day. This included exercises in trust and relationship development. One notable comment was to realize that we are not alone in our challenges. A presentation at the event that was quite useful concerned the elements of trust from Brené Brown. For those who are interested, the presentation is available online as “Braving.”
(If the above video doesn’t play, please view on the www.oprah.com website at http://www.oprah.com/own-supersoulsessions/brene-brown-the-anatomy-of-trust-video)
Our intern minister, Robin Stillwater, is working toward establishing/reactivating a Young Adults Program and setting up a restricted fund to help with its activities. A discussion of the specifics was delayed until next month, when Robin can attend the board meeting. Meanwhile, if you are in the 18-35 age group and are interested in being involved with this program, please talk with Robin.
Pledge receipts are generally doing well, but reflect a need to have less reliance on large donors. A discussion on the topic also included some clarifications as to how the Sustainability Fund is reflected in the operating budget vs. the balance sheet – available to members in “Board Documents” on the church website.
The board ratified the recommendations of the Nominating Committee for additional members for the Investment Committee: Steve White and Garland Allen. NomComm is looking for an additional Investment member. This committee will be developing an investment plan for submission to the board and finance committee.
There were no new members in September.
Attempts to decrease the amount of paper associated with board meetings are a work in progress. The board is wrestling with how to make all board documents available online to interested parties, and intends to resolve this soon.
RE News:
From Our DRE:
I Love Where My Journey Has Led Me
African Proverb: “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”
For my credentialing program I am taking an online course through the UUA called UU Identity. UU identity is formed as a process of development across the lifespan which unfolds through a combination of personal heritage, culture, and lived experiences. It also includes our principles, sources and our rich UU history.
My husband Albert used to love the quote from George Santayana… “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” He also loved everything history related, especially the wars. Ironically, he passed away of Alzheimer’s disease about six years ago. I am not a fan of the doom and gloom warning quote. I like to think of the past in a more positive light.
After only two sessions in my class I am already seeing how all the components that make up our identity are related, but in particular, history’s connection to who we are today. Soul Matters puts it this way: “Remembering those who have gone before and the guidance they have for us today helps you reclaim and remember many of your own stories and treasures long forgotten.” When we tell stories of “past heroes” we don’t just honor them, we increase our ability to act like them.”
Here are some important figures from our UU History that I would like to lift up:
James Luther Adams- (Nov. 12, 1901- July 26, 1994) was a Unitarian parish minister and a Meadville Lombard Theological Divinity School professor for more than 40 years. He is recognized as one of the preeminent Christian social ethicists and theologians of the 20th century. He emphasized personal and institutional behavior as the locus of meaning in religious belief. He was also a labor activist and civil rights advocate.
Francis David – (1520 – Nov. 15, 1579) was a Unitarian preacher from Transylvania, the founder of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania, and the leading figure of the Nontrinitarian movements during the Protestant Reformation. This year (2018) marks the 450th celebration of the Edict of Torda in Transylvania in which David convinced the king to allow the people to have freedom of religion, the beginning of our liberal religion! This month marks the anniversary of the death of David in prison.
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper- (September 24, 1825- February 22, 1911) An African American woman who challenged Unitarians and other Christians to practice a form of religion that reflected “a stronger sense of justice and a more Christlike humanity in behalf of those . . . homeless, ignorant, and poor.” She believed the struggles for black Americans and women of all races were connected. “Justice is not fulfilled so long as woman is unequal before the law. We are all bound up together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on the weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul.” – Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
In my research of these three figures (and many more), I discovered that they became who they were through their life experiences. Many of the figures in UU history were exposed to racism, injustice and devastating losses. They were beaten, robbed of their freedoms and sometimes killed. They witnessed the mistreatment and misfortune of others. This is what made them our UU Heroes. It is what made them stand up and make a difference.
One of the exercises in the class was to create a timeline (which was called a river journey) of my life. It was called this to illustrate the flow and many turns in the formation of our identities. When I was finished with mine, I was actually embarrassed and somewhat ashamed to present it. This is because I am not proud of my abusive childhood or racist upbringing. I am not proud of my failed relationships. But I learned that all of the other students in my class had some similar experiences and some different experiences. Those are what formed our identities AND we are all UUs. We were all brought to this faith! I have always thought that if I could change some of the bad things in my life, that I wouldn’t because they are what made me who I am today. I mentioned I did not like Albert’s favorite quote. I like this one much better: “If memory had a voice, it wouldn’t sing remember me. It would call out, don’t forget who you are.” –soul matters
I love who I am. I love what I do. I love that my journey has led me to a place where I can make a difference in our world. I love how it has allowed me to foster a UU identity in children, youth and adults in the never ending quest to create lifelong UUs.
Adult Programs: Conversations and Connections
Please join us for “Conversations and Connections” on Saturday, November 17, from 10 am to noon in the cottage.
This program will provide our church community the opportunity to develop meaningful connections, two people at a time. Within the context of small group gatherings, we will break into two, encouraging conversation between us that deepen our connections. Each meeting will offer an opportunity for these one-to-one conversations with at least 3 people. We will meet once a month in three-month cycles. The third meeting of each cycle will be a potluck for those who have attended one or more of the Conversations and Connections meetings.
Our guiding intention is to provide structure and opportunities for meaningful connections between individuals in our congregation. We believe as the number of one-to-one connections grows over time there will be an expanding web of connections in our community based on trust and acceptance.
We hope you’ll join us. Please sign up at the RE Table in Forbes Hall after services.
If you have any questions you can contact us: Bettye Barclay or Sue Stoyanoff.
Adult RE Offerings for November 2018
Humanist Voices
Humanism is the progressive philosophy of life guided by reason and compassion that, without the supernatural and beyond questions of the divine, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of meaning and purpose that aspire to the greater good of humanity and our planet. Emphasizing “deeds before creeds,” it has been a vital part of Unitarian Universalism for over a hundred years.
Our group continues to explore and discuss thoughtful contributions to UU and Humanist thought with an emphasis on making deeper connections on our own spiritual or philosophical paths.
In October, we will read and discuss "The Church of What We Know,"; a thoughtful and provocative guest sermon by beloved UU songwriter Peter Mayer ("Blue Boat Home") which was delivered to a congregation in San Diego in 2017.
In November we will read and discuss the new book by Michael Werner, “What Can You Believe if You Don’t Believe in God?” Among other things, Werner believes in knowledge, shared human values, art, and meaning determined by living well and making a difference rather than a tortured or happy hereafter.
The October group will be offered two times: Monday, 22 nd and again on Tuesday, 30th, due to a large response to James' offerings in the past. The November meeting dates are TBA. Forbes Hall. Contact James Witker
Balanced Behaviors
Do your behaviors around eating, exercise and health need a tune up? Would you like to see personal changes that can move you closer to your health goals, but are not sure how to get there?
Through education, mindfulness and support, we will explore ways to make lasting changes that are compatible with your life and life style. Learn new practical skills such as environmental control and “calories as money” to make the behavioral changes you would like to see in your relationship to food and other aspects of your health.
Discover, design and experiment with small steps on your own path as you recalibrate and refresh your habits and choices. Learn how you can best support and encourage yourself as you move closer to realizing the optimum way you would like to live a healthy life. Know that you can realize your goals by changing behaviors that no longer serve you. All are welcome. Do you have some behaviors that work well? Please come and share your successful ideas and strategies with us.
Our group will meet every other Wednesday night, Nov. 14th and 28th, from 7:00-8:30pm
Contact: Teri Lucas, uusmreassist@uusm.org 347-684-4908
