Best Flushing Toilets 2009
(Words of thanks, to receive the Stig Dagerman Prize in Sweden on September 12, 2010)
Dear Stig:
May we be worthy of your desperate hope.
Hopefully we have the courage to be alone and courage to take risks to be together, because it is useless a tooth out of his mouth or a finger out of hand.
Hopefully we can be disobedient, each time we receive orders to humiliate our conscience or violate common sense.
Hopefully we deserve to be called crazy, mad as they were called the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, for committing the folly of refusing to forget in a time of obligatory amnesia.
Hopefully we can be so stubborn to keep believing, against all evidence, that the human condition is worth it, because we have been poorly made, but we're not finished.
May we be able to continue walking the path of the wind, despite falls and betrayals and defeats, as the story goes, beyond us, and when she says goodbye, he is saying goodbye.
Hopefully we can keep alive the knowledge that may be compatriot and contemporary of anyone who lives animated by the desire for justice and the will to beauty, born and alive when they are born alive, because they have no boundaries or maps of the soul time. Eduardo Galeano

Columbus License Ticket
"The good ministry is good ministry wherever it exists." With this statement the former president of ICUU, David Usher, began our final day together. Recognized how the local environment shapes our ministries, but added, "Despite the limitations of local area, there is a fluidity, openness and sharing these characteristics of the ministry among us. I want to encourage the possibility of greater fluidity in all ministerial training. "
We learned a lot about differences in education and training in the practice of ministry in different countries, theology and the expectations placed on the minister. This must be the day to find solutions and even reconciliation. This must be the day to discuss what we have to offer each other, and how we could overcome the limits of educational expectations and the credentialing process. It's a lot to say, of course. Be the first conversation.
The most important factor in this critical time is something that has not been discussed: that we are colleagues. None of us checked the credentials of the others on the way to the meeting. We assume from the outset that we were ministers, regardless of our country or church of origin (and we must take into consideration that includes representatives of Remonstrants or 'Unhappy' , and Liberal Religious Community or NPB, of the Netherlands, who are not members of ICUU). We treat each other with respect and seek to learn from each other in our respective ministries. No previous experience of such a meeting collegiality. Very
theme quickly emerged Nihal Attanayake Day One of the Philippines, and member of Executive Committee ICUU was the first to give voice. We want this connection that we descubirto is maintained in some form. Posterioemente in the day, Sara Asher from the U.S. suggest the creation of an International Association of Ministers. Several people volunteered to make it appear (to take upon their shoulders the responsibility of staff and the Executive Committee ICUU - how generous!). We do not know what has to emerge from this process, but something new has begun. Afternoon
presented educational leaders and professional associations. Hoped to learn only the barriers, but despite this fellow spoke in terms of solutions and cooperation. Where expected stiffness (a prejudice on my part, I guess) I found creativity. We had already noticed the level so high that the ministry in developing countries assumes an organic and entrepreneur. That is to say that the ministers come from communities. They are renowned for their natural abilities and their loyalty. That spark is then fed and allowed to grow. Their training is mainly done through a model to become apprentices in the profession, to learn to work with senior minister. It may, or may not have formal education as well, but sometimes it reaches only after ordination.
As someone who grew up with the model of 'go to school to become a minister', I confess I do not quite understand this model of doing things and I tend to suspect him ... what's funny, because I've never been a professor or academic. I learn best by doing, as this allows me to learn from my mistakes.
then Lee Barker and Qiyamah Rahman spoke on the Theological School Meadville / Lombard in the U.S. and outlined a new educational model called "Touchpoint" already in force. It is based on keeping students in their local communities, and what is more important, keep them linked to their church of origin and other practices in communities that could be used. During his 3 years of field work as interns while taking intensive courses and are linked with students and teachers through conference calls and other technological means. In other words, apply some of the best elements in the organizational model found in developing countries ..
Lee Barker was delighted to listen to Africans and Filipinos, and noted that the developed North, particularly North America could learn a lot from this experience.
Alex Bradley of Manchester College delienó the model applied in the Kingdom Reuni always preserves a more direct and pointed out how a changing student body, more and more older people often choose to explore ministry as a second career- requires a similar change for training in your local area.
Perhaps best of this Ministerial Conference ICUU was that its planners did not seek a specific result. Believed it would give us enough time to tell our stories and hear stories of others. This format was great. So
what does emerge from this? One group wants to think of an International Association of Ministers. Another wants to explore cooperation between churches asociciones like, for example, congregations in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, mutual aid associations, cultural and theological. An interesting idea. There is a willingness to share and translate and share resources through the web site of ICUU.
But the biggest surprise for me, and that was perhaps an invitation to humility for participants from developed countries, was the way that Western universities have come to understand how much to teach the churches in the country Developing ministry development. In places that lack of theological schools, they train liberal ministers.
ICUU Ministerial Conference concluded late on Monday July 12, 2010 with a large dose of warmth and passion, a little dancing and a nice party in the bar under the stairs. A brick vaulted room dating from the time of the monks, the bar is dark and cold. There is a great tradition of runirse at the bar ICUU meetings, whether you drink or not. Undoubtedly a highlight moment of the last evening came when he buenavoluntad energy and is bubbled into songs. As usual, the Transylvanian began to sing Popular folk songs, but soon there were responses from the rest of the world ... U.S. folk songs and gospel music, "Land of Hope and Glory" of the British and even Canadian a few songs. It was a warm and lovely end to a good activity.

How Many People In Canada Are Lactose Intolerant
Sunday Morning Worship July 11, 2010 was led by the Transylvanian contingent of ministers, who shared the story of his call to ministry. For some it was part of family tradition, for others, erected as the first woman minister, it was a pioneering challenge. Listening to their stories and sing songs of Transylvania, in Hungarian, was a rewarding start to the day. The axis of the day was the ministry at the service of justice and fighting oppression. The first session was conducted by the Rev.. Kinga Réka Székely (who currently chairs the Association of Unitarian ministers in Transylvania) who shared the experience of Unitarianism Transylvanian. These unit are mostly ethnic Hungarians, but after the First World War Treaty of Trianon (1920) placed them under the sovereignty of Romania. has never been an easy situation, but became worse under the Communist regime, especially under the rule of Nicolae Ceausescu (who Kinga Réka called only "The Dictator"). In those difficult times, the church lost their lands and schools, and their activities were severely restricted. The ministers were intimidated and responded to this intimidation in different ways.
recounted the story of the 1989 revolution which occurred suddenly and how life began to change so fast. However, the healing and restoration of confidence has come very slowly. Concluded by saying, "The greatest teacher is experience of defeat" and then added a mission statement for our colleagues, "Ministers should have a vision of life irrational, driven by faith and love." This view of life gives us both a unique set of tools, including a unique responsibility.
During the afternoon sessions the Rvdas. Geels Tina Ann Peart and gave us the opportunity to share stories about the role of gender in our culture and churches, and gave space to discuss issues relating to the rights of people who loves the same sex, and on roasted other efforts to do justice, to borrow a phrase from the UUA-to be on the side of Love .
The Rev.. Sienna Rebecca Philippines described the particular issues facing their community, where domestic violence is an important component of local culture and, indeed, life in villages where churches are located. He told how women started an NGO called "Do it!" To try to build solidarity around social issues and how the church sponsors two different microcredit programs.
Mark Kiyamba In Uganda briefly described how they educate their congregations to the impoverished hiños AIDS orphans through the participation of volunteers, but then used almost all his time to explain the resistance to proposed legislation that promotes severely punish homosexual acts (with supported by some evangelical churches in the U.S.). He spoke of the silent and courageous work of organizing a demonstration for the rights Guei. The organization managed to harvest a large international media support, so that the government, at least for now, has frozen the proposed legislation could mean long periods of imprisonment for homosexuals, and even imprisonment for those who do not denounce.
But after a day of good work for justice, the conference participants offered the proper tribute to the gods of soccer , as was also the day of the final of the FIFA World Cup and the Netherlands participated in it. About 20 of us went to the Plaza de Kerkrade and joined the sea orange local citizens were encouraged to 'Oranje'. Unfortunately the home team lost in overtime. Anyway, the unless it was a wonderful way to experience local culture.

Is Lemon Scent Dishwater Detergent Bad
After an exciting ceremony conducted by the Rvdos. Marlin Lavanhar and Jill McAllister of the United States assisted by Rev. Tina Geels of the Netherlands, the first international meeting of ministers unit and Unitarian Universalist (UU) started with a full day of activities on Saturday, July 10 Rolduc Center in Kerkrade, in the southeastern Netherlands.
55 ministers from 14 nations met, and they had a healthy contingent of members of the Dutch Christian liberal churches Remonsatrant [ followers of Jacobus Arminius (Jacob Harmenszoon, 1560-1609) and that ' dissatisfaction 'against a 5-point Calvinist doctrine] and the Liberal Religious Community (NPB) . Met to discuss such critical issues as the call to ministry, the sources of authority religious, access to education and other matters of professional interest. However, in the heart of the meeting expressed a desire to listen and learn from colleagues around the world to seek what unites us and explore the nature of our differences.
Like many things in life, the ministry is contextual. The ministry takes place in specific communities, each with its distinctive history and cultural values \u200b\u200band pressures of the world around them. Necessarily, the ministry deeply impoverished regions such as Nigeria, the Philippines and Uganda (all represented here) will be different to the experience of ministers in richer countries, as the USA, the United Kingdom or the Netherlands. Highlights a key reason the majority of ministers in developing countries receive no payment, so they have another job outside the congregation. Theological training desirable-indeed, required-in the U.S., Canada, Transylvania, UK and the Netherlands is not accessible in regions without unity schools without resources to fund education. One goal of this conference is to help understand the different experiences of our colleagues unit in other parts of the world.
find common ground to begin the first day with a worship service led by Rvdos. David Usher and Linda Hart of London, England, who focused on what the ministers share: personal call to ministry. Few will forget the picture of David, which absorbed the need to respond to the call with the need to vomit. "You can ignore for a moment, but sooner or later ..." Laughter filled the place recognition.
Rev.
then. Marlin Lavanhar, the Rev.. Rebecca Sienne, first woman ordained in the Philippines and now president of the UU Church of the Philippines and the rev. Fulgence Ndagijimana, founder of the UU Congregation of Burundi, shared their personal stories of their way to the ministry. Although each experience was unique, common points were obvious. Whether in the ministry or another line of work, people responded to a deep inner calling to do what they do. When the call is genuine, successful, regardless of the challenges.
Like many ICUU activities, from the first day it came time to divide the Round Goblet of 5 or 6 people. These are intimate small group ministries in which we know better the other and we share deep thoughts on the topics of the day. This session explored the idea of \u200b\u200bcalling. Afternoon
Rev. Sarah Lammert of the USA we introduced a new program of the Association UU Ministers U.S. to examine in depth the ministry and to be performed, both in the USA and Canada. Rev. Brian Kiely of Canada expanded its comments about the conference that gave John Relly Beard recently (a virtual activity available at the site of International Council of Unitarians and Universalists, ICUU ) and invited several people to discuss formal ways to ministry in several nations. This conversation showed the great diversity in terms of training, resources and credentialing practices. But what was the joy of the meeting was that all were willing to recognize the other as colleagues and ministers, despite large apparent differences.
The day concluded with a fascinating evening program led by the Rev.. David Keyes from the USA. For the first time we had a real conversation about theological perspectives. We divided into two groups by the approximate position on the continuing Christian / non-Christian and asked each group to devote half an hour to reflect on the words "salvation, evil, Jesus and tradition." Asked to inform all of "What do you most like to hear the other group."
Most notable for many of us turned out that this was the first time we performed a similar discussion on an international level. It was rich, enlightening and led to many interesting conversations at the bar later. Brian Kiely

Bleeding Radiators Towel Rail Cold At Top
Wednesday January 13, 2010.
Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, was devastated by an earthquake at about 5 pm, Eastern Time, on 12 January. The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) and Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) have launched a joint fund aid to help survivors.
Most people in the capital spent the night outdoors, without shelter, or who joined frantically digging through the ruins to save tens of thousands of trapped underneath. The situation is chaotic, disrupted communication systems, and debris impede movement around the city. However, the UN estimates that 2.2 million people have been affected and fears the loss of lives could reach the tens of thousands. The destruction is widespread, with extensive damage to homes, hospitals, roads, water and sewer services, as well as electrical and communications systems. The main news dispatches talk of severe devastation. An alarming number of buildings including the National Palace and the local headquarters of the United Nations, collapsed.
Haiti is the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished and least developed nation. Their society is suffering from a situation of great social inequality, in which large sectors of society are completely left out any welfare or opportunity. 80% of the population lives in poverty. Many people live daily with what they manage to get in the informal sector. for the hundreds of thousands of poor people in Port-au-Prince, the daily struggle for food, water and medical care was in itself in an emergency situation, the earthquake has made these challenges infiinitamente more difficult to overcome, creating a humanitarian disaster on an already dire humanitarian crisis. Poor Haitians had no access to basic services will have to fight hard to acquire the most basic items after the effects of this earthquake.
The task of UUSC
UUSC's response to the disaster in Haiti will focus on the survivors with less access to aid, such as child domestic workers (Restaviks), households headed by women working in the informal sector and people living with HIV / AIDS. Haiti has a vibrant community-based movement based on a vision of empowering people .. The UUSC work closely with local partners in this grassroots movement to reach people with the greatest risk of being omitted from the efforts of international aid. This afternoon, we established connections with 3 organizations and in the next 24 hours we hope to reach others in order to give concrete shape to our effort. will update our website regularly as this develops our project. Finally, we are deeply saddened to this scourge that has devastated the lives of people in Haiti - please support our efforts to help .
