  • Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - Vol
    The Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - www.LWVChicago.org Vol. 68 No. 2 President’s Message Dear Members, We just completed our board planning meeting for 2017-2018, and we have a lot of great ideas. We’re looking forward to a year with more units in more neighborhoods, a great schedule for Chicago in Focus and monthly briefings, and a task force working on the March 2018 primary election. See the schedules for Briefings and Chicago in Focus on pages 2 and 3 in this Chicago Voter. It’s all very exciting – and a lot of hard work, a little intimidating some days. Still, we’re up for that! One of the interesting aspects of being part of such an established organization is how the mode of the League changes from time to time. Sometimes, our role is to study. Other times, it is to take action. No matter what, we stick to our basic principles: we are non-partisan, we influence public policy through both education and advocacy, and we encourage active and informed citizen participation in government. The tactics may change, but the mission remains the same. And that brings me to one important note: things may change! Last summer, the board put together a great plan that was upended by the results of the 2016 presidential election. We now have many new and enthusiastic members, added programs in Chicago in Focus to look specifically at the election, and looked for new ways to make our voice heard.

  • Sermon Third Unitarian Church of Chicago November 26, 2006
    SERMON THIRD UNITARIAN CHURCH OF CHICAGO NOVEMBER 26, 2006 TOM BAMONTE PRESENTER (EXCERPTS) OPENING WORDS Our opening words are from well-known kayaker Chris Duff: The sea, like any expanse of nature, is a great teacher of humility. It strips away the nonessentials: the ego, the place in society we fill, and the clutter of busy lives. Wind, waves, cold water and the exposure of miles of endless cliff can bare the soul as any desert experience might. All the insecurities of society—the stress of success or fear of failure—suddenly seem inconsequential. What is left is the stripped-down reality of purposeful, passionate living in an environment that tolerates nothing less. It is a great and continual cleansing, at first shockingly cold; but like the initial plunge into a mountain stream, it refreshes and wakes the body and mind to new life. RESPONSIVE READING This we know. The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family All things are connected Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth We did not weave the web of life; We are merely a strand in it Whatever we do to the web, We do to ourselves SPOKEN AND SILENT MEDITATION Please take out your pebbles, which I brought back from Lake Superior to share with you. Roll the pebble around in your hands. Feel its shape and imperfections. Gaze at its colors and patterns. The rock you hold may be a billion years old.

Diane Dowgiert All our lives we experience loss. The attendant of loss is grief. Though the reality of grief is universal, each person will experience it differently. There are some touchstones to ground us as we journey through grief and loss. The arduous journey is ultimately a spiritual journey; each touchstone an invitation to know and understand ourselves more deeply. Oct. 11: Into the Woods Rev. Diane Dowgiert Have you ever noticed how many classic children’s fairy tales are set in the woods? Symbolically, it is where we encounter the darker, more frightening aspects of life. Today we will explore the richness the dark woods can bring to our lives. Oct. 18: More Than Numbers Rev. Diane Dowgiert How do we deal with the immeasurable loss of life from COVID-19? The numbers are staggering. Behind every number is a person with hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes, parents and grandparents, maybe siblings, children, and grandchildren. We’ll look to some Buddhist teachings about death as we also raise the names and stories of some who have died.

    2007-10-7 Indigenous Liberals Opening Words We are here under this high and golden ceiling, embraced by windows proclaiming morning, our feet on a carpet as colorful as October, to worship, to look both into the world and into our own gathered and open hearts with the wonder and the fearless fidelity which might strengthen our lives. So we say: Mindful that a growing vision of a just world calls us together, that a community of commitment, courage and care sustains us, and that a life transformed by depth of spirit may illumine our way, we have kindled this light as the sign of our circle of life and love. Sequence A walk down Le Boulevard Des Capuchines in Paris, France, past that trendy pastry shop. A walk down a muddy path next to the Alima River in the Congo near Okoyo, past that spectacular Ana Tree. A meal of salted cabbage and beef in that little Korean Restaurant right near La Plaza des Armas in Santiago de Chile. A meal of fermented mare’s milk in the settlement of yurts near the beautiful Lake Uvs in Northwest Mongolia. The sighting of a hawk above the red sands at the edge of the Tanami Desert in Australia’s Northern Territory. The sighting of a hawk above the dark chimneys of St. Philippe de Neri in Quebec, nestled above the St. Lawrence River. The sound of a recorded call to prayer from a Minaret towering above the Arab Quarter in Al Quds, or Jerusalem. The sound of a favorite recorded song by Fred Astaire which later today will be played at the Memorial Service of man who was a beloved member of the Third Unitarian Church in Chicago, Illinois.
