    UUCP Ministers Lon Ray Call Organizing minister 1946 to 1947 Lon Ray Call was our organizing minister. He was the American Unitarian Association's minister-at-large. Born in Advance, North Carolina, Call trained as a Baptist, entered the Unitarian ministry in 1923 and served churches in Louisville, Kentucky; New York City, and Braintree, Massachusetts before entering denominational work in 1933 and becoming minister-at-large in 1941. During the decade he served in that position, he personally founded thirteen churches. The fellowship program he conceived and initiated in 1947 resulted in the formation of 216 lay-led religious societies in its first decade. The First Unitarian Church of Phoenix arose out a relationship between Rev. Call and a woman he had first met when both lived in the Midwest, Isabelle Johnson. Laurence Plank Sept 1947 to Aug 1949 The Rev. Laurence Plank was called to be the first settled minister of the new church in March 1947. He was born in Sauk Center, Minnesota, attended Minnesota and North Dakota universities and received a masters degree from Columbia University in New York. He had served churches in Duluth, Minnesota; Dayton, Ohio, Rochester, New York, Omaha, Nebraska and St. Louis. He was an eloquent speaker and attracted many people to the church. He was instrumental in establishing a Sunday evening inter-racial discussion group at the YWCA.that may have influenced the Arizona legislature by constitutional amendment to desegregate Arizona Schools. He was a Theist but left the ministry in 1949 to write and to marry the former pianist at the church.

  • Musical Life in Boston in the Eighteenth Century
    1939.] Musical Life in Boston 293 MUSICAL LIFE IN BOSTON IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BY HENRY WILDER FOOTE TT WAS a cynic who said that "history is a lie •*- agreed upon," but his cynicism was not without justification. There are innumerable illustrations of the way in which a popular myth, first set afloat either to glorify or to discredit an individual, a group, or a cause, has been unquestioningly accepted as sober fact by credulous or lazy historians, and transmitted with heightened colors and swelling distortions through generations to come. That is the excuse for the "debunking" of history in vogue in recent years. It was used chiefiy to uncover the human limitations of popular idols, and sometimes has gone so far as to strip them of well-nigh every shred of decency and honor. It has less often been applied to the rehabilita- tion of persons or groups who have been the victims of malicious disparagement. In the last three-quarters of a century few groups have suffered so much in reputation from "lies agreed upon" as the Puritans who settled in New England. This is true of a,lmost every aspect of their lives, not least in regard to their cultural standards. Thus, in the face of the documentary evidence afforded by some two hundred portraits which were painted in New England before Copley rose to fame, the histories of American art offer nothing but a medley of misin- formation and prejudice in their scanty comments about all the painters who preceded Copley. And when the historians have dealt with early American music they have been, for the most part, just as ignorant, as prejudiced, and as parrot-like in their unquestioning 294 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., reiteration of the popular mjrth that "the Puritans hated music." There are, of course, notable exceptions.

  • 2010 Was Not Just About Our Current Work
    1 GLOBAL REACH OF UUSC’S HUMAN-RIGHTS WORK 50 organizations in 23 countries THE AMERICAS AFRICA ASIA Argentina Egypt Afghanistan Bolivia Kenya Gaza Ecuador South Africa Iraq El Salvador Sudan Myanmar Guatemala Tanzania Pakistan Haiti Uganda Philippines Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Peru United States OUR VISION The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee envisions a world free from oppression and injustice, where all can realize their full human rights. OUR MISSION The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee advances human rights and social justice around the world, partnering with those who confront unjust power structures and mobilizing to challenge oppressive policies. Dear Members and Supporters, The great American labor and political leader Eugene Debs once said, “I would not lead you into this promised land . because if I could lead you in, someone else would lead you out.” Like Debs, UUSC is committed not to leading people to the promised land but to walking hand in hand with all those for whom that land is at the moment but a dream. One of our jobs is to make sure that UUSC members have opportunities to join that great journey. This year’s annual report describes four instances in which we did just that, in Haiti, Ecuador, Kenya, and the United States. The four projects you’ll read about — providing earthquake relief, defending the human right to water, supporting workers, and building religious understanding — are representative of the ways that UUSC works to advance human rights and social justice around the globe. Rev. John Gibbons But 2010 was not just about our current work. We also charted new territory by developing a strategic plan for 2011–15.
