Peacemaking Statement of Conscience - It came late to the attention of the Information and Advocacy Sub-Council that besides confirming membership and other numbers on the UUA Certification Form due February 2, each UU congregation also can participate in the Congregational Poll on this year's social justice issue.

The Information and Advocacy Sub-Council passionately supports the goals of bringing the matter to full discussion and action. We have the option of checking "Yes" or "No" or "Abstain" as to whether this year's Draft Statement of Conscience on Peacemaking (SOC) should APPEAR ON THE FINAL AGENDA for consideration at the GA Conference in June.

Note that a "Yes" vote does NOT mean that USH necessarily supports or agrees with the SOC itself or its wording. A "Yes" vote only supports the SOC being considered and debated at GA, where it may be voted down or amended.

The Information and Advocacy Sub-Council believes that it is vital to vote "Yes" so that this SOC at least sees the light of day; unless 25% of UU congregations vote "Yes," the SOC will NOT appear on the Agenda at GA.

Please indicate your vote (yes or no) as to whether the SOC should be on the next General Assembly's agenda by sending an email to: iasc@ushartford.com Why not take a moment and send the email immediately.

You may also vote in person on January 25th, when there will be an opportunity for discussion and feedback concerning the SOC document at a table at the Adult Programs Fair, to be held at the coffee hours following both services.

In either case, please vote by Wednesday, January 28th so the results can be tabulated and sent to UUA.

February Worship and Music - Thank you to the 60 members who have met with us recently to discuss our quandary, as to how to address the many different ways that each member feels the "warm embrace" of music, word, and ritual. We appreciate your recognition of the complexity of our task. It's heartening to hear that everyone is deeply moved by the things we provide often enough that you continue to attend services and support our work; it is moving for US to hear that you are willing to practice generosity and patience when "it is not your day" (as one of you said.)

We are moved to hear that, when music, word, or ritual is problematic for you personally, you are simply closing your eyes and meditating, or sending loving kindness to those who ARE moved, encouraged, and inspired in those moments, and that you understand these as moments of practicing being part of a spiritual community who chooses to 'love alike' even when we do not "think alike."

Our worship artists and musicians will continue working toward smooth transitions and internal coherence around the service theme, will make the best use of our resources, will continue to explore how to maintain the highest possible quality and integrity across the wide spectrum of style, form, and content that you will experience by attending "a month of Sundays."

Here's the February lineup:

The music for February acknowledges Black History month, as well as other American musical traditions. Our Family Choir (formerly known as Moms & Kids Choir, but not limited to Moms or Kids!) is growing in numbers and vocal skill. You will hear them in the middle of the month, and there's room for new members! They rehearse in the Chapel between services.

1 February - Is it “Slaves” or “Enslaved People? - We begin our February recognition of Black History Month with the question, What’s in a name? How does our sense of self evolve, and how is it impacted by how others identify us? What is an "identity based conflict"’ Where might racism find fertile ground in such questions?

Music - honoring one of the great African American musical masters of this country, the Choir sings Duke Ellington's beautiful masterpiece Come Sunday. The Duke loved this tune so much he rearranged it many times, for big band, piano solo and other groups. Alto Lindsey Grebeldinger returns as the soloist. Also, fresh from his successful solo cameo in the Hartford Symphony's Martin Luther King concert, our baritone Miguel Vasquez will solo in the service.

8 February - Layers and Litter - How do we reconstruct the past and examine the truths about who we are? Rev BJ is joined by a guest minister, Janet Bush, to discuss the topic: We'll look for clues in archaeology and a voice from a dream.

Janet Bush is in her second year as a ministerial intern at the First Parish Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts (founded in 1630), whose earliest history involved a schism that caused half its congregation to depart and resettle in our area. Janet is a graduate of Andover Newton Theological School, and came to UU ministry after a career in the biotechnology industry, small business, and non-profit work. She and her husband have two young adult sons.

Music - Our former Organist Tom Schmutzler composed When In Our Music for our Music Director Mattie Banzhaf. The Choir premiered the piece last fall and revives it for this service. It has special meaning for the Choir since it was composed specifically for them. They had to rehearse it in secret last year, but now Mattie can be part of the preparation.

15 Feb. - Title: “Revitalizing America? Anthropologist Anthony Wallace is well known for his model of “revitalization” for understanding significant and far reaching transformations of a society. Karl Peters will use this concept to explore how we might be in the midst of a revitalization movement in our own society. He also will try to get us thinking about how we are contributing to and can further encourage the revitalizing of America.

This sermon will give Karl the opportunity to begin writing a chapter on “Societal Transformation” that he wanted to include in his book Spiritual Transformations but was unable to accomplish two years ago.

Karl Peters is professor emeritus of philosophy and religion, Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida. He also is co-editor of Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science and author to two books: Dancing with the Sacred: Evolution, Ecology, and God and Spiritual Transformations: Science, Religion, and Human Becoming. He has been a member of USH for ten years and lives in Granby with his wife the Rev. Marjorie Davis, a minister of the United Church of Christ (Congregationalist), who has influenced his conscience toward more social activism.

Music - The Family Choir will sing a rousing bit of Americana called He Is There! in conjunction with the theme of "Revitalizing America?" The Choir is off on Feb. 15th, and at first I questioned whether the Family Choir could learn a piece by the notoriously fiendish composer Charles Ives. But a couple of brave volunteers proved that the Family Choir is up to the task, plus the piece is so catchy they insisted on doing it. You may find yourself tapping your toes.

22 Feb. Building The World We Dream About - The service is led by Rev BJ and our BTWWDA program, the members of which have been engaged for the last year in "BTWWDA" a UUA sponsored program which supports our dream of a denomination and congregation that is is anti-racist, anti-sexist, and multicultural.

Music - stay tuned.
Rev BJ and Mattie Banzhaf

A Day of “Callings” - Author Gregg Levoy will speak during worship on June 7, on the topic of "callings" and will offer a workshop at 1 PM on the same topic. The fee will be $30. Rev BJ is familiar with Mr. Levoy’s book, Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life, and believes that we as individuals AND as a congregation will be blessed with passion, motivation, and clarity of purpose by participating in this event. The seminar will be customized for us as UUs. Scholarships will be available. We need a certain number of registrants to guarantee the program.. Please register now by contacting Rosie in the office or at the Programs Fair on Sunday.

Beverly Spence referred to Levoy’s work in planning for small group ministry, and wrote:

One especially helpful passage taught me that callings may refer to work, to relationships, to lifestyle, to service. “They may be calls to do something (become self-employed, go back to school, leave or start a relationship, move to the country, change careers, have a child) or calls to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving, less fearful). They may be calls toward something or away from something; calls to change something, renew our commitment to it, or come back to it in an entirely new way; calls toward whatever we've dared and double-dared ourselves to do for as long as we can remember.”

If you want to know the forms calls may take or what may happen to you if you don't heed them, I invite you to read Callings. –BS

Notes from BJ - Our UUA president Bill Sinkford offers a definition of Worship: the way we celebrate what we hold worthy, and expresses excitement over a growing interest in UU liturgical tradition.

Was that a joyful noise or the song of the angels? An Invitation to sing with Rev BJ and John J

Before John Jesensky leaves us in August, here’s your chance to be exposed to and experience the breadth of his musical interests. Rev BJ and John will be leading something of a "music play date" for us beginning in February, that we are calling “Joyful Noise.” Here are our initial plans.

3 or 4 sessions each month: (1) John leads an interactive "lesson" on some particular genre of music, and (2) in a second session he’ll lead us in singing some songs in that genre. (3) In a third session led by Edith Savage, we’ll gather more briefly to"polish off" the music which we’ll sing at both services on one Sunday a month. (4) each month "Joyful Noise" will contribute to our congregational worship experience at both services on a given Sunday -- the 3rd Sunday in February and March, and the 4th Sundays in April - June. We will likely invite congregational participation in what will surely be simple songs!

February will be our "pilot" month, with a short schedule: John will lead us on Thursday 5th in an interactive lesson. 7:30-9 PM.

Edith will lead us onThursday 12 for a practice session 7:30-8:30 PM. We will sing at both service on Feb 15.

Whether we call it Celebration, Jubilation, or Joyful Noise, our newest communal connection is going to be fun, educational, and an opportunity to serve USH through singing, however you sing! I’m guessing we’ll also share refreshments or simple suppers, and am certain that you’ll find new friends!

Please send Rev BJ an email with your interest in participating. If you can’t participate in every session, every month, that is not a problem.

The Swearing-In Ceremony - I was not unmoved by the historic and profoundly patriotic impact of the noon time ceremony on the 20th, but what really caught my eye did not have so much to do with the content. I was moved by the variety.

Regarding music, the quartet of well-known musicians of varied heritage, gender, ability, and age provided a visual symbol of diversity and an auditory feast arranged/composed by John Williams, for the sophisticated musical ear. “My Country Tis of Thee” was belted out beautifully by the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, wearing a hat which looked all the world like a crown. The Marine and Navy choirs were there as well.

The two prayers were delivered by men of different ages and color, and both were clearly talking to God, not reading a speech. The first minister used phrases that would catch the ear of every devout Muslim, Jew, and Christian, and in closing, he was careful to use the personal pronoun "my" rather than the inclusive “our” when referring to the savior in whose name the prayer was offered.

He included the “Our Father" which may have bugged those not willing to share the moment with people of faith or philosophical conviction not their own, but the camera spanned the crowd where thousands of people were reciting the prayer along with Rev. Warren. The second prayer was delivered in a "homey" style, and included lyrical recitation of complete lines from hymns, phrases from the bible and other well-known civil rights days speeches, and even some colloquial humor about people of all colors—one of the few places where laughter was heard during the ceremony.

The poem was delivered earnestly by a youngish African-American scholar at Yale whose published books include one entitled Venus Hottentot (look up what that means!)
The blunder of the hour came when the properly formal chief justice of the highest court in this country couldn’t remember whether ‘faithfully’ comes at the beginning or the end of the oath he was administering. And of course, there was the 20 minute long speech in the center which has been examined every which a way.

I could go on, pointing out the delightful mixture of tradition and novelty, the very human mix of characters sharing the stage, the embodied rituals, and the general order in which it was all arranged. Mainly, I was moved at how like a wonderfully diverse worship service the whole thing was, and was reminded that many years after all those details of content, method, and manner of presentation are forgotten, nobody who saw it will ever forget the impact it had on our lives. Whether we soared or smirked, whether we were riveted to every detail or slightly bored, whether we were transformed or stolid, we will remember the day, and what it portended. - BJ

Strategic Plan Review Documents Available - Find attached the final report of the Review team for the Worship and Music segment of our USH Strategic Plan. Mattie, Sue, Jim, Kelly and I have enjoyed the process of the last 2 months, especially the ways that all congregants have been advised and included such that I am now convinced that the membership of 2009 still share the worship and music vision created by the membership in 2002. We extend our thanks to the Committee on Ministry, the Worship Arts Subcouncil, our music makers, and each of the 59 members who participated in our congregational conversation.

I am grateful to every person who has dared to speak up about their own preferences, trusting they will be heard, and trusting leadership to ensure that ultimately we will settle into a new "traditio"' which is more inclusive of all preferences, more reflective of our theological commitment to diversity, and more profoundly spiritual in that more of us recognize the preciousness of our union and the generosity and patience required to keep it. I continue to feel honored to work among you. - BJ

A Music Review and Search Team is being formed to seek and select a new Music Associate for USH, and to review the Music program of the Society.

The Music Associate is a vitally important position to fill since John Jesensky will be leaving us at the end of this summer. The vision is to find an accomplished organist/pianist who can also serve in several musical capacities, including energetic song leader.

The review of the music program is equally vital as the Society expands its worship mandate while retaining the musical traditions and quality for which we are well known.

Applications for membership on this Team will be reviewed by Music Director Mattie Banzhaf, Rev. Barbara Jamestone, Edith Savage and Susan Kinney. We are hoping for applications from a spectrum of USH members who care passionately about the quality and breadth of the music at the Meeting House. Please send in this completed application by February 8th.

Unitarian Society of Hartford Application for Music Review and Search Team for Music Associate 2009

A Music Review and Search (MRS) Team is being formed to seek and select a new Music Associate for USH, and to review the music program. This is a vitally important position to fill as the Society expands its worship mandate while retaining the musical traditions and quality for which we are well known.

This team work will entail time, creativity, and commitment. Our work is two-fold. There will, first, be two large group brainstorming and planning sessions to envision a music program which we can sustain with current resources, and to divide the tasks associated with this program between Mattie and an associate. After that, the team will be narrowed to focus on the search itself.

Committee applications must be received by February 8th so that research can begin and the position can be filled by the end of summer 2009.

Committee applications will be reviewed by Music Director Mattie Banzhaf, Rev. Barbara Jamestone, Edith Savage and Susan Kinney. Please send in this completed application by February 8th.
