Title: The Tenebrae: A Humanist

Reconsideration of Holy Week

By Jennifer Cottril Many Christian denominations observe

Holy Week—the last week of Jesus’ life—with

a service of the Tenebrae (literally, “shadows”),

extinguishing candles one by one while

recounting the story of the events leading to

Jesus’ death. While many Unitarian Universal-

ists would reject the Christian doctrines associ-

ated with the crucifixion, this story is neverthe-

less a powerful human drama. This service

includes readings from the Christian

scriptures interspersed with reflections on the

universal human experiences of faith in the face

of grief, loneliness, and death.

FLOOD UPDATES from Nancy Irons

As you already know, we have had another flood at UUCC. This time was worse than last summer. The emer-

gency clean-up crew has been in and suctioned up all the water and disinfected our surfaces. Since this is

known to have been a sewage backup, the norm is to remove all surfaces that were contaminated. The carpets,

floors and the lower 2 feet of wallboard have been removed throughout most of the church. There is a bit

more demolition to be done, including removing the lower cabinets in the kitchen. Then there will be more

decontamination and drying, particularly in the ductwork.

Ultimately, we will need new floors, new kitchen cabinets, repaired and repainted walls and replacements for

discarded furnishings. Luckily, the insurance company indicates we are covered for all of this. Unluckily, this

will take at least several months to complete. In the meantime, temporary housing for our congregation has

been lined up at Trinity Lutheran Church beginning March 11th.

Moving forward, we are in the process of interviewing general contractors, recommended by our insurance

company, for the restoration work. Further, we now know the primary source of the flood water was the vil-

lage sewer, so we can finally put effective preventative measures in place. Again, we are getting recommen-

dations and quotes before authorizing any work. It will be a long haul before everything is put back together,

but we will then have a newly refurbished building to return to.

MORE UPDATES continued

Easter Sunday, April 1st – Services will be delayed until 10:45 am to accommodate Trinity Lutheran’s

Easter Breakfast Celebration. UUCC is invited to share breakfast with the Tr inity congregation between

8:30 and 10:30 am, if you care to join them. Our service will begin as

soon as possible following the end of the breakfast.

Temporary Shelter from the Storm

Trinity Lutheran Church, (2901 Western Ave. in Park Forest) is

opening their lower level to UUCC while our building is under re-

construction. Their church complex is made up of three connected

buildings. We will be using the lower level of the middle building.

Please park in the lot east of the church and use the entrance for the

middle building.

Accessibility may be challenging for some. . . .There are 7 steps down to a hallway, then another set of 5 steps

down to the main basement space, Good Shepard Hall. They have a combination “elevette” for the first set of

steps and a chair lift for the second, however these require a trained operator to run. While this can be done, it

will require some extra time to accomplish. Please plan accordingly. Coffee hour will be held at the rear of Good

Shepard Hall.

The RCE children will be meeting in the Nursery off the hallway mentioned above. There are other classrooms,

on a different level, that can be available for groups to meet in, if requested. We may plan to use one of their of-

fices to house Virginia while our office is torn up. While the timeline is unclear, we anticipate it should be 2-4

months before returning to our building.

President’s Column by Jerome Rowley I know that everyone is putting up with the temporary accommodations that the church will be using from now

until at least the end of March while the repairs are being done to the church due to the recent flooding inci-

dent. I appreciate people’s forbearance with this situation while the Board and the staff of the church work on

first taking measures that will prevent such an occurrence in the future and then getting the repairs done to the

church. Who knows, we can use this opportunity for a bit of remodeling so that the church looks even better

than it did before!

In the last month’s newsletter, I started on a project of going through the seven principles of Unitarian Univer-

salism to tie it into what I have been learning at the Integral Life institute online based on the writings of phi-

losopher Ken Wilber. Integral Theory basically takes the principles of evolution as a generalizing orientation,

and I think this framework dovetails quite well with the principles of Unitarian-Universalism. I even fancy that

the candlestick sculptures that we have on either side of our podium represent the double helix in honor of the

principle of evolution, but perhaps the artist had another idea in mind!

The second principle is Justice, equity and compassion in human relations

The first principle was the inherent worth and dignity in every person. In the last column, I wrote that this first

principle represents the first Worldcentric stage of cultural evolution. The first three stages of cultural evolu-

tion are those where people see the world from an egocentric point of view by having associations with others

at the level of extended families or clans, then tribes, and then as subjects of an authority figure such as a king.

The next level is marked by a shift to an ethnocentric point of view, where people identify as a particular

group, such as being a member of a nation. This is the traditional worldview that many in the United States

still identify with as their cultural “center of gravity.” The next stage is seeing the world through a Worldcen-

tric viewpoint, meaning that it identifies with all people of the world, at first through the lens of rationality and

science. This in Integral Theory is called the fifth or ORANGE level of cultural evolution (giving it an arbi-

trary color to make it distinguishable from the other levels), which is the modern or rational stage of evolution.

This sees people as having rights as individuals simply by virtue of being human beings, who are created equal

by our creator as stated in our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. This is the modern or rational

stage of evolution.

In all previous stages of cultural evolution, including the traditional stage, slavery was accepted (try looking

for condemnation of slavery in any of the texts of the Abrahamic faiths—you won’t find it). However, with

the dawn of the ORANGE rational level of evolution, slavery was seen as incompatible with this level and

slavery disappeared within 100 or so years in every modern, industrialized country that attained this level of

cultural evolution.

However, this sameness of people at the basic level is also accompanied by surface differences such as differ-

ences in gender, race, and culture that need to be respected. This requires a higher level of cultural evolution,

the sixth level referred to as the GREEN or postmodern level of cultural evolution in Integral Theory. This is

where the second principle comes in. You need to treat others who may be different from you on the surface

with justice, equity and compassion, which requires structures that allow for this to take place. This is why,

although slavery was abolished in 1860, it took the GREEN revolution which took place in the 1960s to usher

in the Civil Rights movement which takes this stage of cultural evolution and creates a social framework to

protect it.

In the realm of politics, the ORANGE stage of cultural evolution is represented by the development of capital-

ism in the 1800s and 1900s, and the GREEN stage with socialism and the idea of social insurance schemes

With all the issues that have come up recently, it has been decided to forgo the

Fellowship Dinner this year. Instead, we hope to have a catered Brunch with the Annu-

al Meeting in May. Hopefully, we will be able to celebrate a revamped church by then.

For more information, please contact Nancy Irons (irons.nancy@gmail.com).

Fellowship Dinner Cancelled, Brunch to Come!

Jim and Anna Saul

Gordon Saul (son of Jim and Anna Saul– long time members of UUCC) has re-

cently informed us that Anna passed away on Sunday the 18th in the late after-

noon and Jim passed away later that evening. They were both in an Assisted Liv-

ing facility in Madison, Wisconsin. Anna's passing was expected and so the fami-

ly was already gathered to say good bye. Jim's passing was a surprise to everyone,

but the loving couple clearly could not be parted. May they rest in peace!

Gordon plans to hold a Memorial Service in the Park Forest area in the next month or so, but is still making

arrangements. We will send out more information when it becomes available.

such as Social Security that started in the first half of the 20th century. The situation we find ourselves politi-

cally is that the Republicans are a mixture of the traditionalists (4th or Blue stage) and those supporting Wall

Street (5th or ORANGE stage), who aren’t as concerned as the traditionalists with social conservatism. Demo-

crats are split between those who are in the Establishment supporting the modernist, and yes, the capitalist,

status quo, and those who support a more equitable distribution of wealth in the country. These positions were

supported by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, respectively, in the last election cycle. So we have in this

country a “culture war” between three different stages of cultural evolution: the traditional, the modern, and

the postmodern, with the two political parties straddling two of these stages each.

However, the leadership of this country is basically a President who is at an egocentric stage of evolution, rep-

resenting a constituency that is mostly ethnocentric—this is why it is hard to have a conversation politically

because most liberals or progressives are coming from a stage of cultural evolution that is far different. How-

ever, the young people of today, as exemplified by the amazing students of Parkland, FL, are for the most part

already GREEN in their cultural evolution and they see through the limited structures that are preventing poli-

ticians from protecting them and treating them with the justice, equity and compassion they deserve.

We, as Unitarian Universalists, whose second principle embodies this stage of cultural evolution, should reso-

nate with these students and their amazing eloquence in trying to change the cultural gridlock which has pre-

vented action in the arena of gun control for the past few decades. For those who doubt it could be done, look

at the strides made by this GREEN stage of cultural evolution, from the fight for gay marriage to the #MeToo

movement. The reason why the language at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference was so stri-

dent was precisely because they recognize that they are losing the Culture War with the rise of the next gener-

ation, and their time on the political stage is limited. They will do what they can to prolong it, but they cannot

stop the forces of evolution. Let’s do what we can to accelerate these processes within ourselves and within

our society!

Religious and Character Education

by Dan Feldt

I’m sure that we have all had the same reactions to the dam-

aging flood of the church. How could this happen? Could

we have foreseen it? What do we do now?

What do we do now? is a very exciting question! To some

degree or other, we have an opportunity to re-envision our

church and especially our Religious and Character Education

spaces. Our old RCE spaces were very kid-friendly. But they

were badly damaged by the sewer water. The two feet of

drywall missing between the classrooms from the floor on

up proves that. We’ll need to move forward with imagina-

tion and determination.

I’ll be asking the Religious and Character Education committee to put in some extra time. I’ll also be reaching

out to two of our former RE Directors, Bob Fox and Heather Godbout. Since leaving us, they’ve worked with

other RE programs. I’m hoping to benefit from their experience. I’m sure that what we come up with will re-

tain the good of the old and provide an exciting space for our future RCE program.

In the meantime, the kids will be joining the congregation when our temporary spaces allow it. We’ll also take

some field trips. We’ll visit some other churches (possibly Hindu and Baha’i temples), a museum or two, and

maybe drop in on the Humanist Society.

I’ll be sending out the UU World article at the usual time if we’ve secured a suitable space for the Gabfest on

that Sunday. If you are not already part of the UU Gabfest discussion group, send me your email. I’ll sign you

up, describe what we do, and send you the article for the March meeting. My email is ddfeldt@gmail.com.

Here’s some further flood information from Nancy Irons. She and Virginia Jackson have been working with

the insurance company. We own them our appreciation for spending time in an unpleasant environment.

“The adjuster for Church Mutual was finally out today. He spent a couple of hours with Virginia and the emer-

gency cleanup guy. He was going to suggest that Church Mutual send out an inventory specialist to document

how many toys and stuff were impacted by the flood. Not sure when that will happen. The rugs from Class-

rooms 1 & 2 are already discarded, as are the embroidered, mirrored stuffed stools. I think most of the stuffed

animals, the books and canvas bins from classroom 2 and most of those stuffed animals need to be thrown

away. I am less certain about the plastic toys and whether or not they can be disinfected enough. We will have

to wait for the insurance figures next week. Luckily, we have "replacement" coverage, which means they com-

pensate us for the anticipated cost of replacing items, rather than the value of items damaged.”

Onward and upward! Let’s make some lemonade!!

Listening Campaign Meets on March 10th

Delightful Milwaukee based husband and wife duo Patty Stevenson and Craig

Siemsen have graciously agreed to do a house concert at the home of Valerie Birk!

Route One House Concerts, will be hosting Patty and Craig on the same night and

time we would have had them appear at Edgar's Place Coffeehouse at UUCC, Satur-

day, March 10th at 7:30 PM (which has been relocated due to unexpected flooding).

Described as genuinely talented with classic folk voices, Patty Stevenson and Craig

Siemsen are known for their gorgeous harmonies, impeccable musicianship, playful

stage humor, and jewel-like original songs. Patty says about performing, “I try for

magic – nothing less! For the place that opens hearts and will move an

audience to tears or smiles.”

Patty and Craig were individually 'out there' enjoying their music, when, in the mid- 1980s, they met while per-

forming at a folk music festival. For many years, the couple maintained solo careers, even after they married.

Eventually, with the prodding of wise friends, they agreed to perform one show as a duo. The rest, as they say,

is history. Today, they continue to create and record original songs as well as their own variations on timeless

pieces that often span the ages of creativity in sound.

Check out this video of Patty and Craig

Edgar's Place Coffeehouse has been relocated to

Route One House Concerts (Home of Valerie Birk) during the month of March.

Admission is $15-$20 donation, and includes complimentary beverages and snacks. All proceeds go

to the performers. If you would like to make a reservation, please do so by contacting Valerie Birk

at your earliest convenience, no later than Wednesday, March 7th. (valeriebirk@gmail.com)

A Little Church Humor

Green Sanctuary Committee - Jeff Green

Last Saturday, February 17th to be exact, Sierra Club held a meeting for “Ready for 100% “ campaign. We started at 10

in the morning and ended at 3 in the afternoon. We are in training for a campaign to bring on a commitment of 100%

renewable energy for the state of Illinois.

Driving 50 miles to Aurora Illinois from Frankfort, I thought I might be the farthest away to come to the meeting. I was

wrong. There were people from Oregon Illinois, Freeport Illinois and Rockford Illinois.

We met in the Fire Station museum. It was surprising when I went into the conference room that was upstairs. It was a

pleasant sloping auditorium that could hold about 50 to 75 people. They were chairs with the little fold away desks for us

to sit in. Everything was presented on power point in a well planned way. Time was watched to keep us on track for all

the material that was being thrown at us. Below is a copy of the portion of where we hope to go.

A community-wide commitment to 100% renewable energy should include the following core elements:

1) Efficiency First

2) Equitable and Just: A commitment to achieving equity, affordability, and access for all members of the community in

the transition to 100% renewable energy

3) Clean and Renewable 100%

4) Renewable Electricity by 2035

5) All Energy-Use Sectors by 2050

6) Inclusive and Transparent Planning and Implementation

7) Local Generation and Job Creation

8) Collaborate with Neighboring Communities

9) Advocate

10) Demonstrate Immediate Progress

During the presentation on Saturday, the leaders pointed out that Illinois is a leader in having an equitable and just law

for those of lesser means. The law passed in 2017, signed by Governor Rauner, is called the Future Energy and Jobs Act.

It was an important part of getting the bill passed by bringing in all the different groups, including the minorities.

This should sound quite familiar to UU’s. Our second principle rings true in making our society great. We are part of

what will be a future great society.

Reflection on the Second Principle- Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations points us toward something be-

yond inherent worth and dignity. It points us to the larger community. It gets at collective responsibility. It reminds us

that treating people as human beings is not simply something we do one-on-one, but something that has systemic impli-

cations and can inform our entire cultural way of being.

As previously mentioned, our March 4th service will be held at 10:00am at Dining On the Green at 349 Main St. in Park

Forest. As of March 11th, Trinity Lutheran at 2901 Western Ave in Park Forest has graciously offered to rent the lower

level of their building to us to hold services, forums, and events. We cannot promise that ALL of our usual EVENTS will

be scheduled at Trinity Lutheran so therefore we encourage you to contact the group facilitator or check our website to ver-

ify the status of any of the events scheduled in March before you arrive (Church website: uuccpf.org). Our facilitators’ con-

tact information is listed below. To verify Sunday services: Call Irene Vanderhoek at 708-305-4913 (leave msg)

If you do not see your event on the calendar, that event has

(to the best of our knowledge) been cancelled.

Set your clocks ahead

on Saturday night,
