To affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person
by The Rev. Louis V. Schwebius
Dear Friends,
Adlai Stevenson, the former governor of Illinois, Ambassador to the United
Nations, and twice Democratic candidate for President, was also a Unitarian. In
the book A Chosen Faith by John Buehrens and Forrest Church, Stevenson is
quoted about differences and the task of liberal religious community. He said,
“I think that one of our most important tasks is to convince others that there’s
nothing to fear in difference; that difference, in fact, is one of the
healthiest and most invigorating of human characteristics without which life
would become meaningless. Here lies the power of the liberal way: not in making
the whole world Unitarian, but in helping ourselves and others to see some of
the possibilities inherent in viewpoints other than one’s own; in encouraging
the free interchange of ideas, in welcoming fresh approaches to the problems of
life; in urging the fullest, most vigorous use of critical self-examination.”
Our church community really does revolve around this central idea. We come together in worship and committee meetings and celebrations (such as our recent Capital Campaign Kick-Off Dinner in Old Town!) where each person may have a very different approach as to how things should be done. MVUC works because we can see the possibilities, because we cherish the free interchange of ideas, and because we face life’s challenges together as a community of faith.
Our role in society is much the same. From issues such as supporting same-sex marriages, to challenging truth in our local media, to providing supplies for the food bank at United Community Ministries, we have the unique ability as a people of this faith to help others see new possibilities and perhaps even to help ease their burdens. We can help people to accept and cherish difference as a healthy and invigorating characteristic of humanity.
As I write this column, we face continuing tensions in our larger world, as well as a potentially divisive presidential election. We work to focus our energies by lifting up the topics we care about—equality, justice for all, and peace. We struggle to keep our heads and hearts focused by critically examining the pertinent issues, and not getting drawn into character assassinations and anger. Whatever the outcome, let us remember that our purpose as a people of faith is to take our powerful, inspiring, and healing message into the community by the way we live our lives and by the service we do.
In faith and love,
Rev. Lou

Religious Education
by Barbara Gay Stoddard, Interim Director of Religious Education
I am feeling very thankful these days. I am so thankful that I have the privilege to be with you for a while, but I am most thankful for the fact that I am working with a group of people who give so much of themselves and of their precious time to MVUC.
The RE Council recently had a retreat to start the process of developing a mission and vision statement and to establish a structure (including job descriptions) for the council. There was so much love and energy that came forth from the retreat that I myself came away with a renewed sense of why I’m here and why I love the ministry of a UU RE program.
Your RE Council needs to be applauded for all the extra work they did last Spring and Summer to prepare the RE program, recruit volunteers, and develop Social Action projects. In addition, the Council, RE Volunteers and I are so very happy that we have Jim Kerr as our RE Assistant. His incredible organizational skills and soothing demeanor are indeed a great blessing.
But in all of this, one of the things that keeps haunting me and worries me is the incredibly busy lives that we lead. I was raising a child during the 70s and 80s and although she and I were both busy, busy girls, we cannot compare to the busy lives of families today. Because of this realization, I have been re-reading a wonderful little book called The Gift of Faith, written by Rev. Jeanne Nieuwejaar (who I am proud to say I’ve known for about 25 years). Jeanne’s writings show us how important our religious community is in this frantic busy world.
She states “our lives are so very, very busy. For too many of us, religion has become marginalized in our thinking and our valuing, and thus in our daytimers as well. Religious community has come to be viewed as an optional kind of “add-on,” to be dabbled in when it is convenient, to be put on the list of resolutions ... It is to be fit into one’s weekend if there isn’t too much else going on…”
But it is important to remember that we are all spiritual
beings that and our need for community, ritual, and celebration
is as important to our development as fish and broccoli.
Jeanne further states, “Those families who are cultivating the habit of church-going are giving their children a precious gift—a gift that enlivens their childhood and provides deep and sustaining roots for the future. The simple habit of churchgoing acknowledges that the spiritual life is of value and weaves connections to a web of faithful folks, connections to a community that can be life sustaining and life transforming.”
I am blessed and thankful to be a part of this life sustaining and life transforming community. So “Come, Come whoever you are” join our circle; feel the wonder and the joy.
Just a thought …
—Barbara

Activities, On and Off the Hill
MVUC Alternative Gift Fair
I hope you all enjoyed the Partner Church service a few weeks ago. It was very inspiring to hear people’s experiences and impressions from our trip to Romania this summer. I enjoyed sharing all the ways that MVUC and Partner Church Committee have helped our sister congregation and village, Szentháromság. And we are planning another way to help!
The MVUC Partner Church and Green Sanctuary Committees are co-sponsoring an Alternative Gift Fair. The Green Sanctuary Committee will be selling environmentally conscious products such as delicious shade grown coffee, tea and chocolate. The Partner Church Committee will be offering the opportunity to “purchase” products to aid the school in our partner village. The village school provides education for children from preschool to the eighth grade. The school and its facilities are very antiquated; there is no running water and the furniture, books, maps, and other supplies are very old and out of date.
For that hard-to-buy-for person or world-friendly relative, consider buying a share in providing the school with running water for $10, $20, $50 or $100; a student chair for $25 or desk for $50; a bookcase for $75 or a teacher’s desk for $100. Maps, books and other school supplies can be purchased for $10, $20, $50 or $100. Shop the Alternative Gift Market on Sundays between services or at the Holiday Shop, and give a gift with meaning. Questions? Call Lisa Gillispie or Janice Fitzpatrick.
MVUC Youth to Perform in MVCCT’s Production of HONK!
Come support our MVUC youth and enjoy a great story for all ages in this Mount Vernon Community Children’s Theatre production. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, Honk! puts a new spin on the classic fable about difference and prejudice. In Ida (played by Ilene Gillispie), the ugly duckling finds a mother who loves him and his oddities. Rather than rejecting her son, as in Hans Christian Anderson’s original version, Ida defends him to the entire duckpond flock. While he leaves his life down on the farm to find himself and others like him, Ugly’s journey comes to a happy ending as he returns home to a duckpond ready to celebrate his differences rather than forcing him to fly away. Froglet and chorus member, Ben Roberts is also in the production. The music is really good and the humor is appropriate for young children through adults.

Help!
If you’re looking for an easy, fun way to be of assistance to the MVUC crew, sign up with Bev Southerland as an Usher on Sunday mornings. We try to find people who can sign up for one Sunday a month for the service they attend throughout the year. It’s one way to help out and you can get to know the members while “taking their money!” Call Bev [phone number can be found in the MVUC directory] to find out how easy this is.
Save the Date—December 11
The Aesthetics Committee of MVUC is pleased to announce the opening of our December 11 Art Exhibit in the Commons. We have showcased many local artists in painting, photography, and sculpture, and now—Jewelry as Art. Six local artisans will be featured, most of whom have connections to MVUC. They are Laura MacCleery, daughter of Ruth and Doug MacCleery; Paula Danko and Nancy Thompson, members of MVUC; Jeanne Mattison, daughter of Jeanne Gayler; and also Cindy Brandt and Dawn Benedetto of the Torpedo Factory.
The opening reception is Saturday afternoon, December 11, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm and all designers will be present. Please join us for a delightful afternoon, as well as some fun Christmas shopping.
—Jeanne Gayler, Chair, Aesthetics Committee
Second Opportunity to become a “CB” or Community Buddy
Rev. Lou and Kris Rosenthal will meet with any potential “buddies” on November 4, 7:15 to 9:15 pm. What is a CB or buddy? A person who reaches out to newcomers with warmth over the first months or year of his or her participation at MVUC. It can be as simple as inviting people to an event, calling once in a while to see how it’s going, and looking for them at church. It can be as rewarding as making new friends, and sharing deeply what MVUC and Unitarian Universalism has meant to you. Please come if you are interested in helping make MVUC even more welcoming! For more information, call Kris Rosenthal.
Holiday Shop Jewelry
“Holly-Jewel.” How you can help us sparkle! We need your jewelry and fancies, earrings and bracelets, pins and beads, rings and boxes. We also need help to set up display, mount and price donated items every Thursday in the Mansion from 10 am to 2 pm. We welcome your donations. Please leave in the Mansion kitchen, clearly marked for Holiday Shop Jewelry. If you can help with preparation, setting up and sales, call Barbara Morrill.
Meet Rev. Sinkford, UUA President
On November 6 Rev. William Sinkford will lead a reflection and conversation about the election results and the deep polarizations experienced in this election cycle. He will be joined by several elected officials to consider how the current political climate will affect issues important to many Unitarian Universalists; such as equality for people of all sexual orientations, women’s reproductive choice, the separation of church and state, and racial justice. The event will be held at River Road Unitarian Church, 6301 River Road, Bethesda, MD 20817. A reception will begin at 6:30 pm, followed by the program at 7:30 pm. Suggested donation: $30 a person; proceeds will benefit UUSJ. Contact Bill Alsmeyer-Johnson for additional information and possibly carpooling from MVUC.

Caring Community
Condolences:
The congregation is saddened by the sudden death of Toby Cedar. We send our condolences to her daughter, Nance, and her family. Toby was a long-time member of MVUC and had been active with the book sales and the upcoming Holiday Shop. A memorial service was held on October 31 at MVUC.
The Caring Associates provide support for members of the congregation who may need temporary assistance. This includes help with a ride to an appointment, shopping, picking up prescriptions, or delivery of meals due to an emergency. Caring Associate members wear green name tags during Sunday services, and there is always a member on call to respond to your needs, as noted in the Order of Service. Kindly notify the on-call associate or the church office if you know someone who may need assistance. Call Betsy Stephens if interested in joining us.

Romania. Several of you have asked when the next trip to our partner village in Romania will take place. It takes nearly a year to plan such a trip. Gary and Janice Fitzpatrick are taking a break in 2005 (after planning or helping plan group trips 3 years in a row). They expect to plan an MVUC group trip for Summer 2006. You can estimate the cost to be at least $2,500 total for air fare, hotels and local transportation. Following are two web sites of groups which have annual partner church related group tours to Romania. Both groups have trips planned for 2005. The UU Partner Church Council has several trips planned at various times during the year.

Dave Sanders’ Astronomy Lecture
Several people asked about the references mentioned by Dave Sanders during his August 1 astronomy lecture, Our Place in the Cosmos: An Astronomer’s View of the Universe. The primary quotes were taken from the book Imagined Worlds by Freeman Dyson (1997, Harvard U. Press, ISBN 0-674-53909-5) which was based on his 1995 Jerusalem-Harvard Lectures. Dyson took inspiration for his lectures from 3 books: The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, pub in 1895; Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, pub in 1932; Daedalus, or Science & the Future by J.B.S. Haldane, pub in 1923. Another book of interest is The Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective, by Carl Sagan.
The slide set shown at the August 1 service is on the web at: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sanders/mvuc/ Dave adds that if you ever find yourself planning a trip to Hawaii and are interested in visiting the observatories on top of Mauna Kea, drop him an email at sanders@ifa.hawaii.edu.

O inhabitants of al-Andalus, what happiness is yours,
having waters, shade, and trees. The Garden of Eternal
Happiness is not without, but rather within your territory. — Abu Khafaja, poet,
Valencia, 1058–1139
I saw this bit of poetry at a Sackler Gallery exhibit highlighting the art of Islamic Spain. The seldom-seen collection from the Hispanic Society of America in New York, illustrated rich cultural intermixing, as Muslim craftspeople produced some of the most beautiful ceramics and textiles of the time (711–1492), for Muslim, Christian, and Jewish patrons.
The poet tells us that we should take a moment from our rushing around and appreciate what is in our own territory. The description of the “Garden of Eternal Happiness” reminded me of our lush grounds. Shade and trees abound, even if we have to go inside for water since we filled in the swimming pool! Eternal happiness is a tall order, but I certainly find our church to be a place of light, joy, and peace. The Tyson family now lives right next door, and we are proud members of the Mason Hill Citizens Association.
The all-church dinner to kick off our capital campaign was an amazing event. Thanks to Georgia Pourchot and her team, and to our Capital Campaign Co-Chairs, Ron Brandt and Joanne Masterson, for making this happen. Have you heard that we’re almost halfway to our $2 million goal? To those who have already pledged, thank you! To others, I hope you’ll welcome your canvasser, and pledge generously. You can fulfill your pledge over 5 tax years.
At its September meeting, the Board reviewed the goals and priorities we had discussed at the retreat. The Board decided to refine and assign leadership responsibility to its priorities for 2004–05:
• Support the Capital Campaign and the building process. Our top priority will require supporting the campaign and proposing a course of action to the congregation after the design has been refined and the results of the campaign are in. (Joanne Masterson)
• Clarify MVUC’s mission and vision. Why do we exist? Whom do we serve? Discussing this effort inspired our capital campaign theme, Widening the Circle. (Rev. Lou)
• Develop fiscal policy; pass on a sound fiscal situation. We have always budgeted carefully, but we need to codify our fiscal policies and revitalize our Finance Committee. (Doug MacCleery)
• Evaluate the commitment of MVUC to the Fort Hunt Preschool (in partnership with the Program Council). (To be determined)
• Adopt a Right Relations Covenant on meetings and communications. We want to encourage committees to adopt a covenant for meetings. We also want to address the appropriate use of email. (Nance Cedar)
• Social Justice (Jane Nelson)
• Adapt to organizational change. In the last year, we have had major changes in our program staff (interim DRE, music director); we’ve hired a business administrator; and the DRE and music director now report to the minister. As the organization changes, ways of getting things done will change. (Hal Holtzclaw)
Comments and discussion on all the Board priorities are welcome.
Thinking Green!
Thinking positive—about a successful capital campaign—and thinking green, as in being environmentally sensitive… One of the first planning items on the agenda for the new addition has to do with environmental concerns, and specifically water runoff. For several practical, environmental, and state regulatory requirements, water runoff abatement comes to the top of the list in going forward with our continued planning.
Why is this a concern? Excess water runoff from the new building and parking areas has to be slowed down before it enters the watershed. Methods to achieve this range from green roof systems, cisterns, and pervious paving material, to water retention ponds. The planning committee will fully investigate these and other ways in which we can delay the water runoff. We will look for which method works best, is the most environmentally sensitive, is agreeable to the county, and is the most economically responsible. Also, we want to retain our lovely meadow to the greatest extent possible. Fortunately for us at MVUC, there are several “green” grant opportunities we will pursue. These will help defray some of the abatement design and construction costs, while providing us with information on the newest thinking in this area.
As time goes on, the Green Sanctuary Committee and the Building and Design Committee will keep you abreast of the current state of our green initiatives. So keep thinking positive and thinking green!

Meeting on Growth Coming Up
MVUC members will soon have an opportunity to discuss strategies for UU growth with a member of the Baltimore Washington Growth Planning Committee (GPC). The GPC is composed of nine volunteers from Baltimore Washington area UU congregations. It is working to produce by next spring a multi-year plan for growth of the denomination in the area. The GPC expects to distribute a draft plan to each congregation in advance of the January–February meeting. Counting members of the committee’s five task forces, the planning effort has participants from 21 of the area’s 27 UU congregations. The committee is developing strategies through the work of five task forces (asterisked co-chairs are members of the GPC):
Public Outreach Co-chairs Rev. Paige Getty (Columbia) and *Ron Brandt (Mt. Vernon)
New Large Congregations Co-chairs Rev. Scott Alexander (River Road) and Mike Harris (Cedar Lane)
African American Outreach Co-chairs Rev. Shana Goodwin (All Souls) and *John Crestwell (Davies)
Vital Congregations Co-chairs Rev. Roberta Finkelstein (Sterling) and *Doreen Rosenthal (Baltimore)
Fundraising Co-chairs Rev. Henry Ticknor (Shenandoah) and *Este Armstrong (Sugarloaf)
