Resending with Registration link correction: ATTENTION: February 2024 Environmental Film, "OYATE, " info and Flyer
by Ellie Stock 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Hi Folks, Resending environmental film info with registration link correction. Sorry for the confusion. Ellie :) elliestock(a)aol.com FEBRUARY ENVIRONMENTAL FILM: OYATE The February in the 2024 Environmental Film Series hosted by The Ferguson Eco Team will be "OYATE, and will be shown, Thursday, February 22, 7:00 PM Central Time. The Dakota Access Pipeline protests became an inflection point for Indigenous people and modern tribal sovereignty. Thousands of people from across the country gathered at the STANDING ROCK reservation to stand in solidarity with the Lakota people. Since then, community leaders have used their newfound platform to organize and educate people about their issues. OYATE uses the #NoDAPL struggle as a jumping off point to dive into an array of issues that affect Indigenous people. The film centers around a diverse group of Indigenous voices led by activist Phyllis Young, attorney Chase Iron Eyes, hip hop artist Stuart James, and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland as they unravel a history of systemic oppression defined by broken treaties, land theft, and cultural erasure. The latter half of the story follows the subjects on the ground as they take the fight to state governments, Washington DC, and eventually the United Nations. Conversation to follow the film. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETFeb2024 or use QR code below. Attached is a flyer for the film.

Bob Booher: End of Journey on Earth
by Ellie Stock 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Dear Friends, On Sunday, February 18, 2024 at 08:19:31 PM CST, Sarah Booher (gefbooher(a)stny.rr.com) wrote: Bob passed away this morning Feb 18 about 11 am. It was peaceful with family there. Today she wrote and asked me to share on the list serves: We are working on the obituary. Bob did not want a funeral. He wanted the family to hold a private memorial event outside on his daughter’s farm at a later time. People are encouraged to make a donation to a worthy local charity of their choice and he was very involved with good vocal groups struggling financially… don’t they all. Sarah will forward the obituary when it is complete. Carleton and I worked with Bob as part of the Rochester LCX for the six years we were there--many meetings and events between our neighboring congregation, Dewey Avenue Presbyterian Church and his, Christ Presbyterian Church. Bob was a mentor, friend, and colleague, and we always appreciated his sense of care, compassion, sense of humor, and passion for justice, grounded in local communities. Our paths crossed many times through the ICA and in 2014 when he and Sarah attended the 40th reunion of the Rochester Region Global Odyssey. We had a chance to talk with him a few weeks ago when he was looking for the words to the Being Song and also the In Memoriam Reflection, at that time in hospice care. He said he was half-way through the 6 months' time the doctors gave him. A few days ago we talked with Sarah and Bob was talking in the background, saying he was "lumping along". I asked, limping along?, and he said just "lumping" along. We give thanks for and celebrate the gift of his passionate life, his care and love for creation (grounded in their farm) and for his love of music and singing. Our prayers are with Sarah and all the family. May Bob's legacy live on through those whose lives he touched. Grace and peace~Ellie elliestock(a)aol.com

Dear Colleagues, Yesterday’s celebration for Jack Gilles was a profound and heart centered event with participants from around the globe. In many ways it was a reunion as well. Though the video did not convey, I have listened to the audio and it is still meaningful and has “true poignancy.” I know many of you had hoped to join us, so if you feel that you would like to add a comment, please do so. With My Best, Susan ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Joshua Craver <joshuacraver(a)hotmail.com> Date: Mon, Feb 19, 2024 at 4:57 PM Subject: Recording and Presentation From Jack's Celebration of Life To: Susan Craver <craversf(a)gmail.com> Here is the recording of the event: https://youtu.be/HWJUfBCK8AY and attached are the slides.

A video of my talk concerning a global journey of care
by Robertson Work 10 Feb '24

10 Feb '24

Dear colleagues, Karen Snyder thought that you might enjoy my recent talk on career development to 30 master's students from 17 countries at the OSU School of Global Studies (SGS). Here is the link to the video.<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z2B2HamvEAJuBSlpF7gtYb-ZTZHBkRlz/view?ts=6…> <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z2B2HamvEAJuBSlpF7gtYb-ZTZHBkRlz/view?ts=6…> In it, I thank Vance Engleman for introducing me to the EI when I was studying at OSU; and I thank George Walters for introducing me to the Mega Cities Project and from there to UNDP. I also talk a little about the Order Ecumenical (OE), as well as the EI and ICA. OSU SGS Vice Dean Jami Fullerton had asked me to share my journey from OSU to serving around the world from 1968 to 2024 with ICA, UNDP, NYU Wagner, and others. In addition, I shared lessons and advice, reflected on the students' global concerns and the kinds of work they enjoy, answered some of their questions, and invited them to work on global challenges such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to learn new leadership methods such as group facilitation. (Not all students are visible in the video because of room seating arrangements.) Please let me know if you would like the text of the talk.
