REV-elations: a column from your minister

     Beyond fulfilling the normal responsibilities of parish ministry, interim ministers like me are trained to address congregational needs inherent in times of major change. These are common to nearly every church in transition: coming to terms with its history, rediscovering its unique identity, navigating interim leadership changes, linking with denominational resources, and revving up for its future. The particular pattern these weave is tailored to the congregation itself. KUUF was just beginning to undertake a new long-range plan when Suzelle departed. So this year is a ripe time to refresh your mission and envision the Fellowship’s future. We’ll be doing that! —

Mission/Visioning Day — Saturday, DEC. 6 —Save the date!
It’s an event of future-shaping significance, needing you. Expect to have a down-deep good time, too. We’ll begin at 9:30 am, include lunch, and wrap-up no later than 3:00. Look for more information in the next Candle. 

     Because I have a home and a semi-secret husband 430 miles away in Grants Pass, Oregon, I build into my interim contract occasional weeks at home interspersed through the year. I remain workable and reachable there, just not touchable. My first such week away comes up this month when I fly home Sunday evening, Oct 19, and drive back with Fred on the 26^th for the district ministers retreat in North Bend (just east of Seattle). Then I’ll nest here again until Christmas morning, when Fred and I fly to North Carolina for a holiday week with family and grandkids, and I’ll get to meet our newest grandbaby, born to daughter Kristen in Columbus, Ohio, and just a week old as I write this. 
     A question is in the air: Are my sermons available? Yes. Count on paper copies appearing by the following Sunday in a tabletop rack in the foyer, beside a little box requesting $1 to cover costs. (It’s a beautiful wooden box; I’d love to know who made it.) Copies will also be available in Melinda’s office; there’s no charge for religious education teachers. About one a month will appear on the website, too. If you want an electronic copy of one I don’t choose to place there, let me know. All will evaporate when I depart.
     Also tucked in that sermon rack, just so it’s handy, you’ll find the results from “Tell Margaret where to go”—that ‘satchel page’ I pulled from my interim kitbag during the Homecoming service, Sept. 7. Recommended sights to see were many, but several of my queries yielded clear winners. Now I get to go tasting and exploring. You can, too.

SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES
AND OTHER OCTOBER EVENTS

October 5, 2003, 9 and 11 am
“The Day Before Atonement”, Rev. Margaret Keip
Tomorrow is Yom Kippur, concluding ten “days of awe” that begin a new year on the Jewish calendar. There is wisdom and power here to heal our lives. The subject is forgiveness. The choir uplifts the rich tradition of these High Holy Days at 9:00.

October 12, 2003, 9 and 11 am
“The Deadliest Sin”, Rev. Margaret Keip
We rarely speak about sin in our churches, but today our interim minister will dive in, pull the classic seven out of a mayonnaise jar, and judge which is deadliest. The choir will shut the door on the devil at 11:00.

October 19, 2003, 9 and 11 am
“Between You and Me” (or: Nonviolence 101), Rev. Margaret Keip
Pursuing Gandhi’s view of violence as anything that violates the integrity of something living, Margaret will follow it home to everyday life. To get where we long to go, we’ve got to start here.

October 26, 2003, 9 and 11 am
Samhain Celebration – honoring the Celtic pagan holiday called Samhain, also known as All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the Third Harvest and Halloween. Presented by the Earth Based Spirituality Committee, each service will include a ‘dinner for our honored dead’ and moments of remembrance. The choir will sing during the 11am hour.
STANDARD TIME resumes today; remember to “fall back” an hour when you head to bed Saturday night, and grab that extra hour of dream time.

Holding in Memory: Anita (Emmy) Holt (1918-2003)
Emmy joined KUUF less than two years ago, nearing the end of her very full and active life, yet in time to become cherished by members, too. She died surrounded by family, on Aug. 31, and was memorialized in a service at the Fellowship, Sept. 6. A portion of her ashes is scattered in our Memorial Garden.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER

     By the time this goes to print I hope that a vast majority of our Fellowship members have attended the “Beyond Categorical Thinking” services and workshop on September 28. They were designed to open our minds to the possibilities of just what a new settled minister might bring to us. Likewise, the Board of Trustees has agreed to attend a weekend conference by the UU PNWD (Pacific Northwest District) on subjects that confront a congregation that is moving from a small (pastoral) to a medium (program) size group. We are at that point. The Board will attend the November conference just before we undertake a new long range planning processes. Yes, at last we are getting started again. If you are interested in being part of the long-range planning committee, please let me know.
     As I contemplated writing this month’s column (written on Saturday morning the day before flying out of state for a rush weeklong trip to help a friend) the thought crossed my mind of conversations from others who have commented that it really is a drag to have to write a column on a schedule that is forced upon you. While that is true many times, what is rewarding about being on the Board or being the President is seeing up close just how much others do every week and every day for the “good of the Order.” What keeps a President busy is the constant flow of requests by groups or individuals to move forward in their particular direction. It is this constant flow that keeps us the vibrant group that we are. It is the constant attention to responsibility and just plain caring that many individuals express that provides the cohesion that keeps us wanting to be together now and on into the future – to serve each other’s needs.
     Our neighborhood group got together to work on the surveys recently, and it was nice just to be together again in a small group catching up on lives that are lived separately and then come together again. It reminds me that we seem to want to take that time (in smaller portions) each Sunday when we come together between and after services. But please don’t forget those newcomers who are reaching out to make contact also, and serve each other’s needs.
     On Saturday, December 6 we will be gathering all members and friends to get together for a facilitated Mission & Visioning Day to begin charting the future direction of our Fellowship. This is a time to “vision” how we can fashion an organization that “serves each other’s needs.” I ask you to bring your dreams and to be open to others as they share theirs. We all need each other’s thoughts on this one. Be there for yourself, and be there for me and the rest of “us.”

KUUF Ministerial Search Committee  
     We hope that everyone has had an opportunity to complete the Congregational Survey, either at your Neighborhood Group meeting or after Sunday service during September.  We will mail a copy of the survey to you if we’ve missed you somehow.  The deadline for returning them to us is October 15^th.  Send them to Dick Norton or the KUUF office.
     The search process is designed to ensure the best possibility that searching UU churches and fellowships will find the right minister, and that searching ministers will have the best chance to find the right church for them.  The process is time tested and has successfully led to the happy settlement of hundreds of ministers.      It is essentially the same process that KUUF used last time we searched for a minister.  That the process allowed us to call Suzelle Lynch to be our minister for eight productive and growing years is testimony to the success of the process. 
     The UUA tells us it usually takes about 18 months between when a minister informs their congregation that they will be moving on to the time when the new minister is “called” and “settled.”  It first takes a few months for the congregation to organize itself to move forward.  KUUF was no exception.  Eight months have now passed since Suzelle announced her departure. 
     Since then KUUF created an Interim Minister search committee, found and “hired” Rev. Margaret Keip, and named a Ministerial Search Committee, which has been working hard for four months. 
     Ahead are more steps that the Search Committee would like you to know about.  The following are the major steps that KUUF and its Search Committee have or will be taking to identify a minister to “call” to ministry with us.

1. District Executive conducts a transition interview with church leadership and the departing minister.  (completed)
2. Board of Trustees names an Interim Minister Search Committee, which works with the UUA to identify possible Interim Ministers.  That committee selects the candidate based on information provided through the UUA Settlement Office website and telephone interviews. A contract with an Interim Minister is executed.  (completed)
3. The Congregation elects a Search Committee.  (completed)
4. The Search Committee meets with the Ministerial Settlement Representative (Milly Mularky) to begin planning its work. (completed)
5. The Search Committee holds a day long retreat, under the guidance of a Pacific NW District facilitator. (This was Rev. Nan Geer, UU minister in Blaine, WA).  (completed)
6. The Chair of the Board of Trustees names a three-member Negotiating Team (done) to develop a draft ministerial contract and to negotiate that contract with the final ministerial candidate.  Our Negotiating Team consists of Paul Flemm (Chair of the Personnel Committee of the Board of Trustees), Fran De La Cruz (representing the congregation), and Beth Wilson (Chair of the Search Committee).
7. The Search Committee prepares a Congregational Record (CR) and posts it on the UUA Settlement Office website for searching ministers to review.  The CR has 57 detailed questions, involving quite a bit of research and writing to complete.  We just completed this step.
8. Milly Mularky reviews the CR we posted on the website to be sure we haven’t made any errors or overlooked something.  Once she approves it, the UUA “unveils” it, making it accessible to searching ministers to review.
9. Simultaneously, the Search Committee prepares, distributes, collects, and tabulates a Congregational Survey.  The survey elicits information from the congregation about what priorities it sees for our new minister and what our spiritual beliefs are.  The results of the survey are included in the “packet.”  The results will also be shared with the congregation.
10. The Search Committee prepares a dozen or more search “packets” to send to prospective ministers and to the UUA.  Packets are actually thick three-ring binders filled with detailed information (including pictures) about KUUF, our members, RE classes, building, staff, committees, governance, activities, community, history, and hopes and dreams.  The pictures we took of the congregation after services on September 7^th were for the packets.  We are grateful for the volunteer support of Marilyn Drengson and Jackie Westwood in completing the packets.  It is a lot of work.
11. After the Congregational Record has been unveiled for at least 30 days, the UUA sends us a list of the searching ministers who have indicated to the Settlement Office that they are interested in KUUF.   The Search Committee members review the Ministers’ Records (similar to our CR, posted on-line, provided by ministers about themselves).  We select the ones that seem the best match for KUUF and send them each a packet.  Those ministers also each send us a Ministerial Packet for our review.  The names of all searching ministers, including those we select to send packets to, must be kept confidential.  We are not allowed to share their names with anyone except Milly. 
12. The Search Committee reviews the ministerial packets, and selects the top candidates with whom we will conduct telephone interviews.  Appointments for those interviews are made and we meet together to conduct the interviews.  Questions for those interviews will be developed in the weeks prior to the actual phone interviews.
13. The top three candidates will be invited to a “pre-candidating” weekends, during which they will come on different weekends to Bremerton, tour KUUF and Kitsap County, interview with the Search Committee, and preach in a “neutral” pulpit at a neighboring UU church (which the members of the Search Committee attend).  We will be making arrangements for neutral pulpits very soon.  The Search Committee budget covers all travel, lodging, and food expenses for the candidates.  Again, all names of pre-candidates are kept confidential, thus the neutral pulpit strategy.
14. The Search Committee deliberates and chooses the final candidate they think best meets the ministry needs of KUUF.
15. The Negotiating Team negotiates a ministerial contract with the final candidate, either by phone or in person.  The candidate and the Search Committee budget share travel costs equally. If a satisfactory contract is negotiated, then . . .
16. The Search Committee announces to the congregation that we have selected a final ministerial candidate for the congregation to consider. 
17. The candidate is invited to a “Candidating Week” from Saturday night through the following Sunday (9 days).  The candidate provides the sermon two Sundays in a row, meets with the staff and many gatherings of Fellowship members, tours the community again, and departs following services on the second Sunday. All costs are paid for from the Search Committee budget.
18. Following the second service on the second Sunday, a Congregational Meeting is held to vote on whether or not to “call” the candidate to ministry at KUUF. 
19. If the congregation votes yes, the Search Committee contacts the candidate to extend our “call” and he or she decides to accept or reject the call to become our settled minister.
20. If the congregation votes not to call the candidate, the Search Committee so informs him or her, with gratitude for their interest and investment of time and energy in KUUF.  The Search Committee reviews the remaining candidates on its list to determine if either of those would be good matches for KUUF.  If so, then a second candidate can be invited for a Candidating Week.  Alternatively, the Search Committee goes back to Step 11 (and possibly revises the Congregational Record – step 7) to start again. 
21. The Search Committee hopes that the process will be completed by the end of April or the beginning of May 2004.  Most ministers come to be “settled” in their new churches in August.  We will hold a party to welcome our minister and to celebrate the completion of our search. 
22. The congregation assists and supports the transition of the new minister as needed.
23. The members of the Search Committee get one year free from major volunteer activities for KUUF!  We will need the rest.

KUUF & UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST
ANNOUNCEMENTS

Campaign for FCTC Ratification
     On May 21 2003 the World Health Assembly adopted the first global public health treaty, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). This treaty will save millions of lives and inspire further worldwide action to prevent transnational corporations from endangering our health, our environment and human rights. One hundred seventy countries agreed to a strong final text in the face of tremendous opposition from the developed countries, especially the US.
     It took Infact and other non-governmental organizations ten years to expose abuse by the tobacco companies—Philip Morris felt its name so compromised that it now calls itself the Altria Group.  Now the campaign for FCTC Ratification begins. The treaty should become a tool for global response to global corporate abuses. You will be able to help in this campaign. For details check the flyer on the Social Concerns bulletin board in the foyer.

Neighborhood Groups Share Successes
By Jacquelyn Westwood 

     More than two years have flown by since the birth of KUUF’s Caring Committee and the subsequent formation of Neighborhood Groups (NG) within the congregation. Depending upon geographical location, KUUF members and friends currently enjoy the option of belonging to one of thirteen different groups within the fellowship. 
     These include neighbors living in or near Poulsbo & Hansville, Bainbridge Island & Indianola/Poulsbo, North Silverdale & Brownsville, Seabeck & Olympic View, Silverdale/Chico, Tracyton/East Bremerton, Illahee, East Bremerton, Manette, West Bremerton, Port Orchard & Manchester, South Kitsap & Olalla, or Gig Harbor & Tacoma. Groups range in size from four families to twenty-two, and include a total of 163 households.
“Covering the needs of people in such a large geographical area is challenging,” states Caring Committee chair Vivien Galitzski. “We hope our Neighborhood Groups will become support systems not only socially, but whenever special needs arise.”
     According to Lene Hajek, coordinator of NG Liaisons, “the activities enjoyed by different groups are as wide-ranging as the miles which separate us.” Activities run the gamut from organizational meetings, potluck dinners, and dessert socials to poetry walks. Liaisons bring us up to date. 
     Barb Gabriel, liaison of the Manette group jokes, “We are the Manette Menagerie. Most of our members have email, and I have set up a list on my computer so I can contact everyone by sending out one message.”
Vicki Flemm reports a unique undertaking by the North Silverdale-Brownsville group. “At an organizational meeting, Barbara Reasons suggested cutting a cord of wood for the Silent Auction we had at the church. We not only accomplished the cutting, but combined it with a potluck lunch.”
     Judy and Jim Brophy have been hosts for several gatherings of the Tracyton-East Bremerton group. Liaison Judy says, “Our backyard has a two-story playhouse with heat and electricity where children in the group like to congregate. Older children keep an eye on younger children, all play well together, and they enjoy having their own space.”
     Judy adds, “When I receive word of illness in the group I email everyone to send cards or make phone calls. Recently we helped provide meals for Brian Watson & Liz Roberts when their new baby came to live with them.” 
     Claire Favro chimes in for the Illahee group, “Our modus operandi from the beginning has been to keep it simple. Everyone agrees that more time commitments that feel like obligations are not what anyone wants. A get-together once a quarter is considered ideal. On one occasion we had a very successful progressive dinner, starting at one house with appetizers, off to another for main dishes, and to a third for desserts. We ended up in various conversation configurations for almost five hours!”
“The other consensus is that we are ready to help each other in emergencies, and the understanding is firm that we care about each other and are ready to respond when needed,” adds co liaison Diane Hudnall.
     Anita Rose-Perrine sends word that the Port Orchard/Manchester group is making a trip to the Farmer’s Market in Pt. Orchard. “We also are in the planning stages of a BBQ here at my house within the month.”
     Susan Sweetwater responds for the West Bremerton group with, “I'm co liaison with Jenny Dorsey-Acosta. We meet periodically for potlucks at various members’ homes. At a potluck in December we had a food drive and folks brought items to go to the Foodline. We've had several opportunities to step up and help members who need aid with meals, transportation, lawn mowing, etc. during periods of illness.” 
     Perhaps the most active group to date is the one farthest away, geographically. The innovative Gig Harbor-Tacoma neighbors are keeping busy conjuring up a potpourri of events which include a deck party, a Mexican dinner, potlucks with games creatively prepared by hosts, and a trip to Point Defiance Park for a “Poetry Hike.” Liaison Anne Stout laughs as she adds that co liaison Mark Jander calls their compatible group, “our cell.”
     Ann Lovell, an organizer of the Caring Committee and active member states, “We’re applauding the efforts of our Neighborhood Groups as they continue to grow and bond into mini support systems within our larger congregation. What fun to share in these successes.”

A Big Thank You
A big thank you goes out to all of you who stepped forward to teach in the Religious Education program this fall/winter. We have all the teachers we need to teach from September to January, and a good start on the teachers who will teach from January to May.

Rainbow World
A Column on the issues of Racism, Diversity and Multiculturalism
Provided by the KUUF Anti-Racism Committee

Splashing Color on Our White Walls 
by Philip J. and Dr. Gail M. Davis, ARC Members

     The Unitarian Fellowship has served as one of the brightest beacons for tolerance and diversity in Kitsap County, yet we are more of a white lighthouse than a multicultural marketplace. KUUF has provided many talented leaders to human rights initiatives, and has worked hard to welcome sexual minorities to our community. Nevertheless, our services sometimes feel more like somber, intellectual, Protestant liturgies than exuberant gay or Latino parties. We sit in our chairs and think a lot.
     Given UU history, that’s not wrong or even surprising. Both Unitarians and Universalists were dissident European Christians, as far as we, newcomers to this denomination, can ascertain. Formal education helps give one the confidence to speak up in protest, as does a professional job. So there you have it--middle and upper middle class liberals--just what the two of us are as well as much of the congregation. The KUUF certainly attracts a few Black, Latino, Asian, Native and Jewish individualists who embrace our tolerant theology, but our style is mostly that of white, middle class rebels. UU’s have a heritage of rebellious courage, and an increasingly diverse population. Where do we want to go from here?
     During the summer, 47 members of our fellowship filled out the Anti-Racism Committee survey. Not a single individual complained that we spend too much time or energy on diversity. Rather, 31 people requested half to full day workshops and 32 asked for discussion groups. The top three topics on a list of preferences were:

1. understanding attitudes about race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status, 

2. barriers/filters that make us less likely to be multicultural, and 

3. creating a welcoming congregation. 

Clearly, the congregation wants to move forward, beyond our history.
     A single, bold stroke would be to hire a minister who is a racial minority. Rev. Lee Sanchez, who spoke at the fellowship on August 10, told the ARC that ministers of color sometimes have a hard time being placed with UU congregations. Interesting charge, if accurate. For the correct and qualified individual, we could be a welcoming, supportive congregation. 
     We could also seek a Euro-American minister with a strong cross-cultural experience. Not just someone who served on a few committees or volunteered a couple months in a minority community, but someone with a real immersion in another way of life. When the two of us came back to Kitsap County after living for two years in Mexico City, we could identify what was American culture in ways one who has not left the system could never know. Everyone seemed to drive slowly and carefully, and no one took the time to shake hands or properly greet anyone else. After eight years working in New Mexico, we could put our home state and Kitsap County into perspective. What might look “normal” to the Anglo eye, can be cold or unwelcoming to another point of view. Such a minister could lead us forward, helping us flex our styles and modalities a little to reach out to other groups. 
     Where could such a minister lead us? We don't need to convert our whole service to Spanish or invite a Buddhist monk to cover all our white walls with exotic paintings. But we could begin some exchanges, starting with our excellent choir. How about a choir exchange with the Afro-American Embassy Apostolic Church? Then invite them to hang on our walls a colorful symbol of their Christian beliefs, whatever would help make someone from their church feel at home in our building. Then we could do the same with a Jewish temple and a Muslim mosque from Seattle. Let’s not stop with the patriarchal religions, but add some earth-based symbols and Native American art. Like good intellectuals, we have multicultural readings in our textbook hymnal. Now let’s bring in the music and put some color on our walls, not just as empty symbols but as heartfelt seals of our connections with other communities.
     What if the new minister is extremely capable and supportive of diversity initiatives, but very occupied with many other duties? Well, then it’s time for one of the grand traditions of the Kitsap U.U. (not a church but) “Fellowship.” As the two of us understand the congregation’s history, this group began without a minister, preaching their own sermons. We could do it ourselves.
