  • “We Are the Power” – Sermon Delivered at Old Ship Church, First Parish Hingham, MA – October 20, 2019 Rev
    “We Are the Power” – Sermon delivered at Old Ship Church, First Parish Hingham, MA – October 20, 2019 Rev. Adam Lawrence Dyer First Parish in Cambridge, Unitarian Universalist It is a pleasure and a real honor to be here at Old Ship Church. Let me say first that I am grateful to my colleague Rev. Ken Read-Brown for this most gracious invitation. As something of a church history buff, I have to really take time to process being in the oldest church building in the United States it is quite remarkable. I also have to process the fact that when this building was constructed the idea of an African American preaching from the pulpit would have been completely unheard of. I hold the complexity of that reality here as I do in my own pulpit in Cambridge. It is both a challenge and a blessing and I am grateful to the holy spirit to be welcomed here by you and inspired by my colleagues past and present to share a message with you today. Thank you. I believe that the biggest question that spiritual communities are facing today is the question of who is “we.” Although a sentence like this is a grammatical nightmare, I will ask you to let go of your editorial brain for the next 15 minutes and hear me out. Who is “we” is the question that identifies the natural tendency of all communities to create a delineation between themselves and some other community or collection of others. It is a basic question of tribalism that is also playing out in our national politics.

  • Annual Report 2020
    2020 Annual Report common cathedral Looking back at the past year, one word that comes to mind is “resiliency.” 2020 brought unforeseen challenges and heartbreaks, but it ultimately made us a stronger community and organization. By God’s grace, this year has given us a new appreciation for digging deep and finding resiliency within. In early March of 2020, as we were learning about COVID-19 and the significant restrictions it would bring to the city and our community, we made the brave decision that we would not close. We would keep programs open and continue to be a radically welcoming place, where all could seek refuge. This was particularly important because many programs across the city were either reduced or closed completely. Thus, our constant presence became a lifeline for folks on the street. It did mean that we needed to rethink our programs to ensure social distancing and to acquire enough personal protection equipment. And we did! Throughout 2020 we did not miss a single day! Sundays continued on the Common with lunch for 150 people each week and worship for all. Our staff took to the streets on Mondays and Tuesdays to find and care for people wherever they happened to be. On Wednesdays we opened common art, offering a place to create beautiful works of art. On Thursdays and Fridays we offered BostonWarm, our day center, where people were welcomed inside to a warm space with food, access to bathrooms, and good company. What we were also reminded of during 2020 is that our supporters, donors, and partners are the best.

  • Why College Administrations Support Divestment from Fossil Fuels
    WHY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATIONS SUPPORT DIVESTMENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS THE RESPONSIBLE ENERGY INVESTMENT CAMPAIGN (“REINVESTMENT”) Earlham College February 2015 Why Administrators Support Divestment from Fossil Fuels: The following information was compiled by students and alumni of the Reinvestment Campaign to inform members of the Earlham community about why higher education administrators support divestment from fossil fuels. The first part of this document details the rationale for divestment of thirteen colleges/universities that have committed to divestment; it should be noted that these schools only represent a fraction of the schools that have decided to divest. This document also includes a list of other colleges/universities, religious groups, foundations, and cities that have committed to partial or full divestment from fossil fuels. The members of Reinvestment hope that this information will help to clarify concerns and questions that members of the SRIAC and the wider Earlham community have about the on-going conversation to divest from the worst of extraction companies at our college. Hampshire College1 Hampshire College avoided the conversation concerning fossil fuel divestment by simply never investing in fossil fuel companies in the first place. With a rigorous screening process that keeps the college from investing in companies that violate human rights, environmental denigration, and socially irresponsible histories, Hampshire takes a strong stance to use its endowment to support just causes. Hampshire views a company’s social

  • Old Ship Meeting House Hingham, MA
    Old Ship Meeting House Hingham, MA Massachusetts Historical Commission 2015 Preservation Award Nomination Rehabilitation and Restoration February 2015 BUILDING CONSERVATION ASSOCIATES INC Old Ship Meeting House Page 1 Massachusetts Historical Commission 2015 Preservation Award Old Ship Meeting House Comprehensive Restoration Hingham, Massachusetts Statement of Achievement Introduction Old Ship Meeting House is a National Historic Landmark and one of Hingham’s and Massachusetts’ most important historic buildings. Old Ship is the oldest surviving New England meeting house. Of the more than two hundred meeting houses known to have been built between 1629 and 1700, only Old Ship survives. (Marion Card Donnelly) Its architectural significance has been recognized for more than two hundred years, first by its Hingham congregation who refused to allow its demolition in the 1790s and later by their painstaking campaigns of restoration. Formal recognition of Old Ship’s architectural significance includes: documentation by the Historic Ameri- can Building Survey (1962), designation as a National Historic Landmark (1962), listing on the National Register of Historic Places (1966), and inclusion in the Town of Hingham’s Bachelor’s Row-Pear Tree Hill Local Historic District. The Church has worked diligently in the last decade to comprehensively restore Old Ship Meeting House. As in the 18th century, the leaders of the church recognized the architectural and historical significance of the building and the importance of its preservation. Their commitment to its preservation has extended beyond the physical repair of the building to the scholarly approach of using the restoration work to fur- ther study and understanding of the architectural history of the Meeting House.
