Fwd: Eid Mubarak!
by Karenbueno via OE 25 Jun '17

Anyone know more about this group? Karen Bueno Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Saturday, June 24, 2017, Maria Elena Durazo <local23(a)unitehere.org> wrote: To our Muslim UNITE HERE sisters and brothers who will be observing Eid al-Fitr concluding the fast period of Ramadan, we wish you the greatest happiness in this festival. Eid Mubarak! For one community in northern Virginia this is a difficult time to celebrate. On June 18, a 17-year old Muslim girl named Nabra Hussanan was murdered while she was returning to her local mosque before the start of the dawn-to-dusk fast that many Muslims observe over the month of Ramadan. This tragedy hits close to our union. The mosque – and the murder – are located only a few miles away from the Flying Food kitchen where workers just organized and won union recognition this spring, and only a few miles from the Washington Dulles Airport where UNITE HERE was part of winning a wage policy that will change the lives of thousands of workers. Every day, many UNITE HERE members proudly wear their union buttons at their workplace, but too many others hide theirs, or choose not to wear one at all, because of an underlying fear. It’s disheartening to know that thousands of Muslim women who choose to cover their head with a hijab are forced to consider hiding their identity because they fear hate crimes and acts spurred on by people in our government. Our union turned the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency into a time to stand together and fight. We must return to our strength as unionists in the face of these tragedies and the fear they inspire and do what we know best: extend a hand to those with whom we work and live; listen, learn and join in confronting injustices;and build power and defend each other against any attacks – whether they occur in workplaces, homes or communities.

Earthrise witness

Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message --------From: John Epps <jlepps39(a)gmail.com> Date: 6/22/17 10:35 (GMT-06:00) To: earthrise(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: Easter Reflection To continue our Earthrise contributions around one's birthday, I offer the following: I’ve never heard anything like it. The ordinary mode of beginning the Sunday worship service at Montview Presbyterian Church is the sound of chimes after which the congregation is invited to quietly make the transition from getting there to being there. This Sunday, being Easter, the sanctuary was overflowing with people enthusiastically greeting each other with churchy cordiality and requests from the front to move closer together in the pews to accommodate more people. I was sitting quietly waiting for the chimes, hoping to be able to hear them over the din, and looking forward to a few moments of silence to absorb the beauty of the surroundings. Suddenly from the choir loft came a deafening crash of cymbals followed by a brass and organ fanfare that filled the gothic architecture with ear-splitting wonder that lasted a full 5 minutes. After the final grand chord, the congregation was speechless. The impact was powerful and profound, setting the tone for something grand about to happen. For me, if nothing else occurred during the service, the Easter wonder had happened. The piece was Grand Choeur Dialogue by Eugene Gigout; you can find it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rufxt80iVA0 But that was only the first musical treat. The brass and organ and choir continued their gift of awe-producing sounds during the hymns, anthem, and offertory anthem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZtIRp3Vglw was the anthem. By the time we left, I was done in, having experienced something of a resurrection myself.. Since then, I’ve been wrestling with the thought that such grandeur was not at all like the lifestyle portrayed in the New Testament. Though it clearly portrays the significance of the Easter event for Christians, the music and setting seemed more appropriate to royalty than to us. Recent Public TV shows featuring Henry VIII depict a setting in which this type of music would have been right at home. Maybe the point is that awe happens when you least expect it, when surprises break through that are not of our doing. If, as I have contended elsewhere, surprises are where we are confronted by Mystery, that certainly happened at the Denver Montview Presbyterian Church on Easter Sunday, 2017.

Earthrise

Is the Earthrise list serve dormant? I can't seem to get in. That seemed a fine way to ritualize our connectedness: that on our birthday we would post a witness of our encounter with the Word.

Re: [Oe List ...] The Order and Oaxtapec
by Rod Rippel via OE 24 Jun '17

24 Jun '17

A simplified version of the evolution of Orders of the Historical Church would be something like: 1 > Spirit Mvt., 2 > Growth in numbers, 3> Acquire property, wealth, 4> Bourgeoisie values and Church official recognition. What would the evolution of OE look like? Similar? Would #3 be followed by 4> Dispersal? or non-profit institution From: John Epps via OE Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2017 2:57 PM To: Order Ecumenical Community Subject: [Oe List ...] The Order and Oaxtapec It has long been claimed that at the Oaxtapec gathering, the Order was called out of being. That assertion has long troubled me, and it seems time to clear the air. IMHO, the statement is both sociologically and theologically inaccurate. A more accurate formulation of what happened in Mexico was that we went from a structured to a dispersed form. Something was definitely dissolved at Oaxtapec, but it was not the Order, only a particular form of the Order. On the sociological side, there is still a lively “we” that once went under the name “Order Ecumenical.” This list-serve and the archives workshops represent some manifestations, but more significant are the personal collegial relationships that persist despite great demographic, cultural, and geographic differences. “We” continue to communicate and to celebrate the life milestones of each other. “We” continue to engage in the mission of catalyzing and caring for those who care – in multiple sectors and with far greater impact than a single organization could have managed. Some examples include the ToP Network, the IAF, ICA community development work in India, Nepal, Australia, and South America, and environmental preservation efforts in the USA. “We” have published a good number of books making insights available to a wide audience. Colleagues could fill out the list. Theologically, the Order is a historical dynamic that we’ve been privileged to participate in. It is not something we can disband, even if we wanted to. Just as Niebuhr described the Church as the “sensitive and responsive ones…” that takes many forms, so also is the Order composed of those awakened and catalytic ones who care for those who care. The notion that some of us could dissolve that dynamic confuses the form from the content (the baby from the bathwater to use a less abstract metaphor). I’ve come (reluctantly) to see that we were led to dissolve a particular structure so that the historical dynamic might continue in an enhanced fashion. Why does this matter? Is it simply a verbal difference having little to do with anything except the neurosis of an old theologian? It matters because thinking that there is no longer an Order prevents us from wrestling with pertinent questions: How can we remain in touch with the Profound Mystery? How can we continue to access our common insights? What rites and celebrations are appropriate to a dispersed body? How can we account to each other and support each other? How can we stay on the religious and secular edge? What (if any) forms are appropriate for the global and diverse participants in this historical dynamic? In a time when hatred and fear of differences is so rampant, what new experiments might make a difference? What might we learn from Journey to the East? Collegial comments, clarifications, corrections, and additions are most welcome. Thanks for reading this.

Re: [Oe List ...] OE Digest, Vol 63, Issue 29
by Jaime R Vergara via OE 24 Jun '17

I joined the Order in Manila in 1972 (visited Fifth City in '67, and had JWM for our Senior Retreat Speaker while John Epps and former guy in Boston - memory lapsing) because of the paradigm shift of the Earthrise that I assumed was operational in the Order. The categories of atheist and theist are therefore, irrelevant. The sunrise perspective (from the Rah, Sun god of the Pyramids), we looked up for Santa in Sky, of mirages of palaces in heaven that became irrelevant when we started looking seriously at the Earth. Who did we find? Us. First, we discovered that of 250 million sperms my Dad gifted my Mom in moments of passion, I was the only one who made it. That's is a two year attempt, at conservatively three times a month, and you can figure out the odds. I was a WINNER on the first 45 minutes of conception. Second, the egg that received the sperm did not automatically allowed the first arrival to enter. Somehow, it choose. As such, I was also FREE. The two formed a zygote that in 9 months created a respiratory, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, nervous systems, et al, a labor of inordinate CREATIVITY. Born, I GREW and will keep going until the day I die. So, I am naturally a WINNER, FREE, CREATIVE, and miraculously and mysteriously GROWING. This is where I begin, like everyone else. Oh, we can save all those anthropomorphic nouns and adjectives that we used on the deity and take it down to Earth. Now, we are in business, real and authentic business, on the proper subject, US, and our choice to be human. I left the Order in 1986 when the authority of hierarchy replaced the authority of authenticity. Ironically, the Order made Sudtonggan choose between the Vergaras and the ICA. This was about two weeks before the EDSA Peoples Revolution against Marcos. Guess which one Sudtonggan choose? There was an institutional global Order incorporated in Illinois. It seems like organizationally, that was the one that went out of being in Mexico. That was two years after I left, or, rather, I was "sent out." The Manila House did help me conduct a LENS course for employees of PLAN International in Bicol. I owed Manila their fee, but the Order went out of being! No offense meant, John. We all have our perspectives, and our given histories. The first of 9 editions to my digitized Global Odyssey is due in August. That is a compendium of my perspective, to encourage others to write their own. By the way, when I went to teach in China, I donated all my books to the Saipan Public Library, including Brother Joe and Bending History (2). Anyone has extra copies they want to donate for my reading? I will most likely be in Saipan the next four years. Thank you. Jaime Vergara P.O. Box 503717 Saipan MP 96950
