ATTENTION/SAVE THE DATE: 4/25/2024 Environmental Film: FACING ADVERSITY, CHOOSING EARTH, CHOOSING LIFE
by Ellie Stock 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi Folks! HAPPY EARTH DAY MONTH! The last film in 2024 winter/spring environmental film series hosted by the Ferguson Eco Team, (Ferguson/St. Louis, MO), will be FACING ADVERSITY, CHOOSING EARTH, CHOOSING LIFE and shown VIA ZOOM Thursday, April 25, 7:00 PM Central Time, followed by a reflection conversation. To register for the ZOOM link: https://bit.ly/FETApr2024 A ZOOM link will then be sent to you to access the event. Facing Adversity: Choosing Earth, Choosing Life is a 63-minute documentary that explores the speed, depth and magnitude of our growing planetary crisis, and the opportunity we have to meet this crisis consciously – with eyes and hearts wide open. Through a broad, whole-systems perspective, the film examines key challenges (climate change, inequities, species extinction, overconsumption, and more) and explores the deeper transformation being called forth from humanity. Woven throughout are stories from around the world illustrating both heart-breaking impacts and inspiring resilience. Engaging with this paradox — an unfolding global crisis paired with the opportunity to awaken to and serve the well-being of all of life — is the work of our lifetimes. The film features Duane Elgin, Victoria Santos, Jack Kornfield, Joanna Macy, Nate Hagens, Beena Sharma, Lynne Twist, and other contributors who are grappling with this paradox and offering guidance for navigating the times ahead. FACING ADVERSITY is based on the important 2020 book CHOOSING EARTH, Humanity's Great Transition to a Mature Planetary Civilization, by Duane Elgin, also author of the popular 1981 book, VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY. To register for the ZOOM linK: https://bit.ly/FETApr2024 Attached is a flyer for the event. Please feel free to share with friends.

April 5th

April 5th When JWM was asked about when he experienced the intensification of Knowing and Doing, revealing Being itself, (the advent of the Other World charts) he answered “April 5th”. April 4, 1968, MLK was assassinated. April 5th were the coast-to-coast riots. April 5, 1968 posed the challenge to the O:E to stay or to leave the West Side. To stay with our divine calling, or look for another. We stayed! I arrived five weeks later.

53RD Anniversary for Judy and Jim today
by James Wiegel 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

I think we're going out for dinner later. I can't help remembering the Academy Awards night earlier this month -- "And the winner is . . . " Judy and I are clearly the winners . . . but remembering those acceptance speeches -- so many to thank -- certainly those of you on this list and many more of this community -- thanks to you -- whether moral support or occasional child care -- also to our families, our children, grandchildren, neighbors the list goes on, but I hear the music coming up in the background . . . just thanks. We are so grateful!! and tomorrow, another year begins. Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

A REMINDER: FILM/SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTATION: March 21, 2024 Environmental Film: REBELLION
by Ellie Stock 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

JUST A REMINDER: ENVIRONMENTAL FILM AND SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTATION THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 7:00PM CT: TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETMar2024 Dear Friends, Some new information! We are glad to announce that following the viewing of David Suzuki's film REBELLION (44 minutes) and a briefer conversation, Linda Hamilton of Redlands, CA, will be sharing information about her local work in addressing issues of climate change and community building. This will be helpful in grounding the film and catalyzing our thinking about "what to do" in response to facing environmental issues. Below are links to two websites about her work. Ellie Stockelliestock(a)aol.com - Redlands is on its way to becoming climate resilient www.redlandscommunitynews.com/news/redlands-is... Led by Linda Hamilton, a Redlands resident since 1979, Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action is focused on local awareness, education, and action toward creating a more livable future.

Linda Hamilton is founder of Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action in Redlands. To volunteer or for more information about how your neighborhood can be involved, contact ANCA at ancainlandempire(a)gmail.com. I am a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. MARCH ENVIRONMENTAL FILM: REBELLION YOU ARE INVITED! The March film in the 2024 Environmental Film Series hosted by The Ferguson Eco Team will be David Suzuki's The Nature of Things: REBELLION and will be shown, Thursday, March 21, 7:00 PM Central Time. A unique documentary featuring a one-on-one conversation between David Suzuki and Sir David Attenborough that takes the pulse of our planet and asks whether humans can change their ways in time. REBELLION is a crash-course in every social issue that has frustrated and inspired a new generation of activists. There’s a sense that this was a straightforward assignment going in – 2019 was the year of Greta after all. And much of the film is wrapped around climate change, with focus on Thunberg, nature filmmaker Sir David Attenborough (who has changed his message from awe over the beauty of nature to alarm at its state of peril), and Gail Bradbrook of the Extinction Rebellion movement that has made headlines with dramatic protests around the globe. But 2020 clearly threw a spanner in the works. All of a sudden, a clear theme was muddled by a pandemic and concurrent global racial unrest following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Rebellion works to connect the environment and racial injustice into a single issue. Conversation to follow the film. TO REGISTER FOR ZOOM LINK: https://bit.ly/FETMar2024 or use QR code below. Attached is a flyer for the film. For more information: (314) 521-8418 or carletonstock(a)aol.com

Dear friends, Wanted you to know that Rev. Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon at the age of 91 has been diagnosed with stage four small cell brain cancer and has just been entered into hospice in Seoul, Korea. The attached photo is of Rev. Dr. Kang Hye Kyung (Rev. Kang's daughter), Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon, me, and my son Benjamin during one of Rev. Kang's visits to the US. Grateful for Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon's powerful, inspiring leadership in the OE/EI/ICA and in the Korean Methodist Church, for the gift of living and working with the Kang family in the Seoul Religious House, and for staying in touch all these years both in trips to Korea and in the US.
