by Lynda Cock 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Dear colleagues, Following are the top-viewed blog posts during April <http://rejourney.blogspot.com/2013/04/journey-reflection-blog-review-april. html> 2013. As always, we appreciate your quote/image suggestions, comments, and sharing blog posts with others. We wish you a gracious May, Lynda and John PS 1: Since our early March loss of some 2,000 blog post images/photos/art, we have restored about 1200-all of 2011, 2012, 2013, plus several hundred others back to August 2004-we hope to restore all posts with images by the end of this year, even the early years without images (2004 up to 2006). Most blog posts have image source links, even if no visible image, so click link before reading (some source links changed or inactive). PS 2: Since blogging very hard lately, we will slow down and put out only 2 older/extra blog posts daily on Facebook, Google Plus, and Twitter. PS 3: On the April 28 blog post photo http://rejourney.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-do-you-love.html, does anyone know the names of any EI staff or any preschoolers sitting in front of the Fifth City campus chapel - and which year? >Daily Blog: "Journey Reflection" at 4 links ...

Thanks, Herman. Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow were at Nelson and Elaine Stover's UU congregation on Friday. Lynda and I ate lunch with them at Margaret Berry's living center (she is 95 and thinking as clear as a bell-definitely Thomas' right arm re archiving his works, primarily at Harvard library). Michael gave a comprehensive presentation with visuals-they have a bunch of videos, 4 hrs. each. Like all of us, they get better with age. He also does Huffington Post blog every few weeks, e.g., "Ecology Is the New Theology": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rev-michael-dowd/ecology-is-the-new-theology_b _2875205.html John and Lynda _____ From: Herman Greene [mailto:hfgreenenc@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 6:32 PM To: Center for Ecozoic Societies Subject: CES Event: Science, Evolution, Christianity and Global Warming, Friday, May 3, Chapel Hill Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow will speak on "Science, Evolution, Christianity and Global Warming," at United Church of Chapel Hill in the Assembly Room, on Friday, May 3 from 7:30-9:00 pm.

Help with song title
by John Cock 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

What is the name of our song that goes like this? Can't find it in the big 1980-81 song book. I thought it was "Winds of Change." Help please. .What shall be, somehow depends on me, What I am, have been and now decide to be; And all those of Way become my we, And this we becomes the larger me. Thanks, John John P.

tracking down the "what appears to be a breaking down of civilization" quote
by David M Dunn 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Colleagues: With apologies for inflicting a fishing exercise on everyone, can anyone reconnect me with this quote that concludes something like: 'may be a breaking in of new possibility by life itself.' That's not right, but something like that. Does we have a compilation of our great quotes anywhere?

fossil fuel di-vestment movement
by Ellie Stock 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Dear Friends, Exciting news: today, we’re partnering with the City of Seattle and the Mayors Innovation Project to announce that eleven cities have committed to pursue fossil fuel divestment! Can you take a minute to click on the image below to share the news on social media? Click to share this image on Facebook Let’s be clear: our work in these cities isn’t over. We’ll need to follow-up with these Mayors to make sure that they really keep their city funds out of fossil fuel stocks and push the pensions that provide for their employees to also divest. But today is a big step forward. The cities committing to divestment today extend coast to coast. From tiny Bayfield, Wisconsin, which has just 530 residents, to international icons, like the City of San Francisco, where the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to push the city’s retirement fund to divest $583 million from the fossil fuel industry. In Richmond, CA, Mayor McLaughlin is committing to divestment because she’s sick of seeing the health and safety of her community put at risk by the giant Chevron refinery on the edge of the city. In Ithaca, NY, 26-year old Mayor Svante Myrick, one of the country’s youngest mayors and youngest African-American politicians, committed to divestment earlier this week after meeting with a group of high school students who asked him to protect their shared future. Click here to help spread the news. Today’s announcement sends a powerful message to the fossil fuel industry: if you’re going to try and take away our planet, we’re going to try and take away your money. We’re no longer just playing defense against dirty projects like the Keystone XL pipeline, we’re going on offense, too. It also sends an equally important message to other cities and institutions: if it’s wrong to wreck the planet, then it’s also wrong to profit from that wreckage. And with some of the most innovative cities in the country now firmly on board with this campaign, there should be no excuse for college trustees or other cities to keep dragging their feet on divestment. Together, we kicked off this divestment campaign last fall and have spread it across the nation to over 300 colleges and universities. Now, the effort is moving off campus: there are over 100 petitions up on the GoFossilFree.org website targeting cities, states, and religious institutions. If you haven’t already started or signed a petition, now is the time. Click here to find or start a fossil fuel divestment campaign in your community. If you’re already running a local divestment campaign, now’s a great time to use the excitement of today’s announcement to spread your petition far and wide. You can find the petition you created by clicking on the link above. When we started this effort, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping end apartheid in South Africa, told us this: “The divestment movement played a key role in helping liberate South Africa. The corporations understood the logics of money even when they weren’t swayed by the dictates of morality. Climate change is a deeply moral issue too, of course...Once again, we can join together as a world and put pressure where it counts.” With today’s announcement, that pressure is coming to bear in powerful ways. It’s still too early to tell if this new divestment movement will have the political impact necessary to weaken the stranglehold the fossil fuel industry has over our government, but thanks to your hard work, we’re off to an incredible start. If you haven’t already joined in this effort, visit gofossilfree.org to get started. Many, many thanks, Jay Carmona PS.
