Fred Haman
by Shelley Hahn via OE 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Lori Haman posted a request to the 2nd Generation regarding her father. I offered to post it to this list and she gratefully agreed. Evidently, Fred has had a stroke and is experiencing a lot of memory loss. For a little more background, here is a posting from Juli Haman Pappano from Monday. I don't usually do this, but I'm asking for prayers for my father, Frederick Haman Jr. who has recently suffered a pulmonary embolism and pneumonia and is currently being hospitalized for a possible stroke. Many thanks to all you prayer warriors. (-: Here is Lori's request: Hey guys! I was wondering if y'all could help me out. As some of you may know, my dad is not doing well health-wise right now. It got me thinking... If you knew my dad, Fred Haman, and have any stories you'd like to share with me about him I would be eternally grateful, (Or perhaps you could ask your parents if they have any). I'd like to put something together forJulianne Haman Pappano, Doug Haman, the grand-kids and myself about him and his life. Ours was not always a smooth relationship, but at this point I'd like to fill my brain with pleasant memories. If you can help out with that I'd appreciate it. You can send them to me privately at Mielfrog(a)hotmail.com . Thanks in advance...I know expectations are dangerous, but I know what this group is capable of! Thanks everyone for anything you might be able to share with Lori and the rest of the Haman clan. I know it would mean so much to them. This amazing extended family we have is such a blessing! Fondly, Shelley Hahn

Update re:Ferguson and Dellwood (St Louis, MO)
by Ellie Stock via OE 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Greetings and a quick update from Ferguson/Dellwood (St. Louis): There were two community meetings that night sponsored by black leaders--a little juggling of power control in the black community. The first one planned was a strategy session convened by a city-wide clergy coalition, attended by the Mayor of Ferguson, the Police Chief, the Mayor of St Louis, and Governor Nixon. A second competing one was convened by a local pastor who also happens to be a state representative and was attended by Al Sharpton, Michael Brown's family and their lawyer, and other clergy and community reps. We didn't attend either meeting as we had leadership responsibilities for another meeting held at the same time. We saw reports of both meetings on TV and clergy colleagues who attended gave reports today at a special meeting of our ministerial alliance. The alliance is planning a vigil and working on other long-term strategies. While attention on the media has focused on the confrontations between groups of protestors and armored police, here is what is not making the news: -interracial groups of volunteers going to business along West Florissant Road to help them clean up; -many businesses, that were looted, determined to stay and opening up the next day; -peaceful prayer vigils and marches springing up all over; -many more meetings being planned by many different groups to address the situation at many levels; -people stopping by looted businesses to encourage them and offer support We won't know the whole story for quite a while as stories from many sides are contradictory, and the media is picking up on the most inflammatory. I don't know that anyone will be pleased with a final outcome of the judicial procedure. West Florissant Avenue is blocked off again--probably due to some protesters, and the helicopters are still hovering as I write this...

Such a tragic situation. I was glad that he was able to elicit from the family the wish that their son’s image not be tarnished by the looting and violence. We know after things calm down, there will be much much work that you and others will have to do to restore and heal the situation. Our prayers and care for the city and for you folks and your team as well.

Certainly makes the news reports ring with a different kind of reality. I hope some spokespersons from the Dellwood and Ferguson teams you’ve been working with can also be spokespersons on the media to help calm the fury. It is so sad to see this kind of destruction in places where you have worked so diligently to help build up. Our care and prayers are with you for your safety and for the safety of the community. We are grateful for your presence and work in that community for so many years.

(Ferguson is where our ministerial alliance is, where we have our Eco Team, and the location of the Farmer's Market and Earthdance organic farm where we volunteer. It is also the location of our post office, bank and other businesses/restaurants we go to.) After the shooting, crowds of residents started gathering, remaining into Sat urday evening and Sunday morning. Sunday we returned from doing an Earth Care Congregation presentation at St Charles PC (west of St Louis) to learn there was a prayer vigil in Ferguson regarding the shooting. We were not aware (neither was our ministerial alliance) that a vigil had been planned (by outside groups), and it ended about the time we returned home. In the evening. That evening, another peaceful vigil was held which we did not attend. Other segments of the crowd milling around the street turned violent--vandalizing and looting businesses in Ferguson, torching and destroying a Quicktrip gas station, then moving north on W. Florissant to Dellwood (where we live), looting businesses just down the street from our former church's building and few blocks from our home. Zisser's Tire and Auto Dealer, also completely looted, was where we used to have our cars serviced before we got our Prius and know the owners. The police/fire dept computers were hacked and sabotaged, and all the police and elected leaders have received death threats. Sunday night we heard the wailing of sirens outside and the police helicopter hovering overhead. We watched it all unfold on live TV coverage until after midnight. I woke up before 6am to the sound of a news media helicopter. It is so sad and frustrating, as Ferguson and Dellwood have worked very hard to build community and attract businesses, and the churches and other organizations have worked over the years to address issues of racism and economic inequity. Unfortunately, this violence detracts from the original issue of the teen's death and the underlying racial tension and disparity in so many communities. Our ministerial alliance is now discerning how best to engage in this situation. When the media is all gone, we will still be left with the follow-up and real work. There is a community meeting tonight with the NAACP, Al Sharpton, etc., but I fear it could be hijacked by more media-centric or violent elements. Carleton is still deciding whether or not to attend. Please remember the Ferguson situation in prayer. Presently another peaceful demonstration is filling the streets and the helicopters are still hovering...

Fwd: GMCA August 7
by David Zahrt via OE 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

*THU AUG 07*—*Bridgewater to Greenfield, IA* It was foggy and misty. As soon as the circle-up was done I left for Greenfield. I think I rode the road on RAGBRAI one year (2009?). I remember I stayed at The Brass Lantern B&B on that ride and that Marty & Terry Moore were the innkeepers. When I stopped at Casey’s for cocoa I phoned them. Marty answered the phone and we re-established acquaintance. I indicated I wanted to stop and see them. I came through town and stopped at the Presbyterian Church where we were camping that night. Then I went through town another 1 ½ miles to The Brass Lantern. The mist had turned into a steady light rain. I almost turned around but I decided I wanted to make the contact. We had an extended conversation that both reminisced and anticipated the future. Marty is the Chair of the IA B&B Assn. She has ceased publishing a statewide flyer and has gone to using the Internet. I rode back to the Presbyterian Church. They allowed us to use the basement auditorium/kitchen. There were several meetings held. One was focused on future events—Des Moines and Chicago. Gavain suggested that we blockade the L-train in downtown Chicago to bring attention to ‘big business’ in downtown Chicago. I think that is not the way to go because it could appear that we are against public transportation. The dinner was informal so Izzy, Luke, Gavain (on the Cello), and I practiced a song that Izzy’s daughter has written to tell Obama to stop the KXL. -- Peace, David

Brown and Williams
by via OE 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

ST for Monday: MichaelBrown and Robin Williams One colleagueministers to a Presbytery in St. Louis MO not too distant from Ferguson wherethe shooting of 18-year old Michael Brown occurred that triggered a nationalprotest of indignation and revealed again the ugly racial divide that sears thesoul of a nation. As stand-upcomic Robin Williams might have quipped on the vaunted melting pot the USaspires to be as "hardly melting though it has generally gone topot!" I do not findanything funny about the Michael Brown case that reportedly began when acruising officer at 2 p.m. told two young boys to get off the road where theywere walking, into the sidewalk where the officer wanted them to be. Thelanguage used in the exchange and the alleged altercation that followed hassince gone into media frenzy for the latest explosive bombshell in the story;it has turned into another Trayvon Martin case abducted by cause-orientedbodies and the insatiable appetite of the media for blood in the blame-game. Or, perhaps,that's where the tragedy lies: it has become just another Trayvon Martin case,as one of Martin's Florida lawyers reportedly signed in to represent the Brownsin court, and no less than the flamboyant Rev. Al Sharpton showed up at one ofthe vigils. The Police Commish has his hands full for another media circus. It is thecomedy of Robin Williams whose track record with USO is without blemish that wefind levity in life just to be the flip side of its tragedy. Robinhimself, found dead at 63 with his belt around his neck in what is now reportedto be an act of suicide, would not have found fault in the title we use on theoccasion of his death: Good Morning, Baghdad! The allusionis on the war-comedy movie of Good Morning, Vietnam. Williamsplayed a radio DJ for the Armed Forces radio that was more irreverent than theordinary. The simplistic plot of the movie did not deter in my catchingthe bug on Robin's brand of humor. I encounteredWilliams in the Mork and Mindy TV shows when I came in and out of the US1977-82. The plot assaulted contemporary values, with Mork the alien fromOrk, finally marrying Mindy, bearing a child that came out looking elderly(Jonathan Winters played the role). Orkians grew from mature looks atbirth into infants when they finally die! I caught himin the World According to Garp, making him a steady presence in mymeditative council for his humor in Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King,Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, Night at the Museum, The Man of theYear and the various voice characters (e.g., Fern Gully and HappyFeet) he created. Our reference to USO comes from his faithfulappearances to entertain the troops in the Afghan and Iraqi war zones. His rehab awayfrom cocaine addiction is a matter of record, and his bout with alcoholism wasoften a subject of his own jokes. He married a Pinoyze with whomhe had two kids, but he guarded his privacy and we respected his choice. It was his brand of comedy, impudent but real, that got us glued. We are notbothered by the manner of his exit. A dear friend takes depression pillsand I know how that can get ugly. We are not being dismissive of whatmany consider "unnecessary" exist measures either. I am stillgetting comments for my reflection on self-immolation on my birthday,especially as I lifted up the behavior a colleague who performed the Buddhistact of sacrifice to flames. It is themanner of Robin William's living of his life that we celebrate at this momentof completion. I have said it of myself, and of others before, withoutreservation nor apology, and of Robin Williams: he was one unique,unrepeatable gift of life into human history; there has never been one like himbefore, and there will never be another one like him ever again. Thisgem of truth I live with applies to anyone else who comes into thisearth. Arrival is not at the end of life; it is at the entry atbirth! The rest is a case of unfolding in active dialogue and evolutionwithin one's chosen environment and locale. I do not knowmuch about Michael Brown, though I suspect, the news will give us all thedetails of his personal upbringing. We join his mother's wishes that thecase focus on Brown's shooting rather than he be sidelined again into anothercelebrated cause. Robin Williamswill have many retrospective moments before the year is over. His was alife not easy to dismiss, and a sense of humor not easy to discard. Hisability to take life itself as the subject of his humor was remarkable. At a USO performance, in the middle of his monologue, the bugle of "Retreat"sounded as the flag was lowered. The crowd immediately stood atattention, executed an about face, and ignored Williams altogether. Heturned the intentional about face into hearty guffaws from his audience. Growing up inan Episcopalian environment who he defined as a Catholic with only half theguilt, this renegade Methodist (a Catholic with no guilt) ecu-toasts his life: L'achaim!

Salmon: OW information needed
by William Salmon via OE 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Colleagues-- How can I find information over the Other World Charts? In reflecting on my recent "Memorial" event, I've located the arenas that are brightly shining on the Doing pole: There is some kind of relationship between the following: DOING: "Dying Death" OBEDIENCE:"Submissive Obedience" "Radical Incarnation" PRAYER: "Daring Embracement" I suspect that some of this can be dug out of my Order files. At the moment, I'm ready to reflect and write instead of searching through a lot of information. Perhaps, there is a way to search our Chicago files on these topics. Inner Peace, Bill
