What’s Inside:

Claiming Control by Letting Go February 3

When we have too little control, life can feel overwhelming. When someone in our

lives is trying to exert too much control, we can feel trapped. Claiming an

appropriate amount of control in our lives is thus very important to our emotional

health and well-being. One way we can seek to find that balance is by shifting our

perception of the amount of control we have. Part of that perceptual shift is letting

go of the things we think we control, but actually don’t. By doing so, we can help

ourselves lead a healthier, more balanced life.

Guest Speaker: Seth Carrier

Worship Leader: Donna Hatchett

Of Love and Marriage February 10

Do you decide who you will love? And once in love, who gets to decide who you

may marry? The cultural norms that define marriage, sexuality, and gender identity

have shifted dramatically over time, and there are always battles in this markedly political territory. Those who are ready to usher in major cultural shifts today will

have to be savvy strategists.

Speaker: Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz

Worship Leader: Mary Krautter

God of Dirt: The Gospel According to Mary Oliver February 17

Mary Oliver’s poetry is about the foxes, owls, snakes, lilies, ponds, and forest that

surround her home on Cape Cod. But her poems also explore life and death, prayer,

spirituality, and a God who is incarnate in Nature. “There is,” she says, “only one

subject worth my attention and that is the recognition of the spiritual side of the

world and, within this recognition, the condition of my own spiritual state. I am not

talking about having faith necessarily, although one hopes to.”

Guest Speaker: Rev. John L. Saxon, Lead Minister, UU Fellowship of

Raleigh

Worship Leader: Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz

INSTALLATION SERVICE, 4:00 P.M., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17

Mission: Possible February 24

A congregation’s mission is the burning coal at its center, its reason for existence. A

mission statement provides a goal, a path, and a guide to decision making. What is

the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s unique role in Winston-Salem, the region, and

the world? It’s time to start figuring it out.

Speaker: Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz

Worship Leader: Mary Taylor

Fellowship Matters: February 2013 Page 2

Happy Ystävänpäivä

We are all familiar with Valentine’s Day, but what about Ystävänpäivä

Day? Valentine’s Day is traced to several saints named Valentine, one of whom

was a priest near Rome in 270 A.D. He was known for performing clandestine

weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry by the Roman Empire. I see a

corollary to our UU practice of supporting everyone’s right to marry. According to Wikipedia, Valentine’s Day was first associated with romantic love in Parlement

of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer wrote:

For this was on seynt Volantynys day/Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.

(“For this was on Saint Valentine’s Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate.”)

This poem was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to

Anne of Bohemia.

Interestingly, not all countries follow the American practice of focusing on romantic love with gifts of

candies, flowers, and a romantic meal. In Finland, Valentine’s Day is called Ystävänpäivä, which translates as

“Friend’s day.” This celebration is more about remembering all your friends, not only your loved ones. In

Estonia, Valentine’s Day is called Sõbrapäev, which has the same meaning. In some Latin American

countries—Mexico, The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico, among others—

Valentine’s Day is known as “Día del Amor y la Amistad” (Day of Love and Friendship). In these countries it

is common to see people perform “acts of appreciation” for their friends.

Please join me in celebrating “Friends Day” by showing appreciation to your family and friends. I want to

acknowledge the wonderful community of people within our UU Fellowship, and I value my friendship with

each one of you. I am so thankful that I can be a part of this Fellowship.

Your President,

Karen Cross

“In spite of fears of opposition from the community ...”

It’s a telling statement. I found it in the UUFWS history book, New Dimen-

sions of the Spirit: The Story of the Unitarian of Winston-Salem. There are many

bold actions in the UUFWS’s 60+ year history, and the above quote could

well relate to any of them. “In spite of fears of opposition from the commu-

nity,” the Fellowship has stood up for justice, sat down for dialogue, and taught bold curricula to children and adults.

What is the burning coal at the center of the congregation, the energy and

the passion that has driven generations of religious liberals to do this

important work? It’s our mission. And no matter how many times the

congregation revisits the mission statement, I doubt the mission of Unitarian

Universalism in this city has changed, or will change much.

In contrast to our mission itself, a mission statement is but a snapshot, a particular era’s perspective on

that energized center that is a congregation’s mission. It should be broad enough to allow for growth,

clear enough to be understood by even the most casual visitor, and memorable enough to stick in

people’s minds, and hearts.

Before you go looking up the current mission statement of UUFWS, think about it: Does it excite you?

Guide your decisions? Is it memorable? Seriously, can you remember it?

… (I didn’t think so.)

Rev. Thom Belote of the Shawnee Mission (Kansas) UU Church says, “if the majority of the members in

your congregation can’t recite the mission statement, then you don’t have one.” Which is not to say that

we don’t have a mission, because I think it’s clear that we do, and always have. Otherwise, we couldn’t

have made so many stands and statements, “in spite of fears of opposition from the community.” But we

don’t have a mission statement that fits us, guides us, and says clearly who we are and why we exist.

It’s time to revisit a clear and compelling statement of UUFWS’s mission. Over the next several months

you’ll see various chances to come together in discussion groups and town hall meetings to help refine

the mission statement. As befits a democratic organization, UUFWS members will vote on any statement

before we adopt it, but there will be plenty of ways to be part of the process before the “yea or nay”

moment. Plan to be a part of things!

Faith in Action by Janet Owen, SAC Chair

This is my last column as SAC Chair. I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished together, and I’m happy

to turn SAC over to Anne Barefield. I look forward to what the new year will bring in our commitment

to social action.

January Achievements

Rev. Lisa and several of our members and friends, including Dee Best, Carol Herman, Elisabeth and John

Motsinger, Marie Creed, Margaret Scales, and Tom and Patty Ricono, participated in the We Do

campaign on January 14. They provided support for several same-sex couples who asked for and were

denied marriage licenses at the County Clerk’s office.

Upcoming Social Action Opportunities

On February 2, members of our CHANGE Core Team will attend the CHANGE leadership retreat. This

annual retreat helps set the agenda for the year. The retreat will be held at First Baptist Church on

Highland Avenue.

Watch the What’s Up at the Fellowship for the next meeting of Americans United for Separation of

Church and State. They meet at Oscar’s Grille in Sherwood Plaza on Robinhood Road. Come at 6:00

p.m. for dinner if you wish, and stay for the 6:30 meeting.

The Southeast District Racial Justice Conference is March 1 and 2 at the UU Congregation of Columbia,

SC. Find out more and register at http://www.uusouthland.org/rjc.html. The registration fee is $65

until February 1, and then it goes up to $75.

The Social Action Council meets the second Sunday of the month in the Fellowship Library at noon. All

are welcome to attend. If you have a new social justice project you want to pursue, please contact Anne

Barefield. You can find information on current and upcoming projects at the SAC table in the foyer, and

in the What’s Up at the Fellowship weekly email newsletter. You can sign up for most SAC projects either

in person at the SAC table or online at www.signupgenius.com (search for [email protected]

to see all current signups).

More on SAC and CHANGE

by Anne Barefield

The Social Action Council will meet on Sunday, February 10, 2013, at noon in the UUFWS Library.

The CHANGE Core Team will be meeting with SAC for the next four months while Janet Owen is on

medical leave and Ann Barefield is serving as chair of SAC.

Fellowship Matters: February 2013 Page 6

The Social Action Council meetings are open to all who are interested in social justice work in our

community. We encourage you to join us at noon on the second Sunday of each month in the UUFWS

Library. We support numerous organizations and activities, and we need your support. This is one way we

live out our UU Principles.

The CHANGE Core Team members will be working with CHANGE during 2013 to develop grassroots

recommendations for how we need to proceed in the areas of education, senior concerns, foreclosure, and

transportation. We will be asking for your input about what you consider to be the major issues in Forsyth

County in these four areas. The facilitators for the four areas are as follows: Education, Ann Barefield;

Foreclosure, Steve Scroggin; Senior Concerns, Donna Schmid; and Transportation, Ann Zimmerman. If you

have suggestions about any of these areas, please share them with the facilitators. In the near future, the

group will be sharing information with the congregation for your input. Please consider the information and

give us your ideas to help us make recommendations to CHANGE. If you wish to read more about

CHANGE, go to www.changeiaf.org. Thank you for your assistance in helping us gather your opinions to

share with CHANGE.

Okay, So What Exactly IS an Installation?

You’re invited to the Installation! Sunday, February 17, at 4:00 p.m.

Now: What is an Installation?

In some faith traditions a Bishop or other powerful ecclesial authority assigns ministers to congregations. In

contrast, Unitarian Universalists are grounded in principles of democracy and congregational freedom.

Throughout our long history, a congregation is the ONLY entity that can enter into a relationship with a

minister. (UUs “call” ministers, not “hire” them; it’s an important distinction.)

An Installation is a public worship service that formalizes the congregation’s new relationship with a settled

minister. It’s a celebration and a ceremony, even though the new relationship is already under way. (It is as a

wedding ceremony is to a marriage—a public declaration of vows, and a grand party to celebrate the

commitment.)

One of the features of the service is the participation of many clergy—UU colleagues and community

clergy—who witness and bless the relationship. Several of them will have words to say, including a “Charge

to the Congregation” and a “Charge to the Minister.” Central to the event is a verbal statement of promises

and expectations between the UUFWS members and Rev. Lisa.

The service is open to everyone; UUFWS members are technically the hosts, inviting community members

and neighboring UU churches to be our guests at this grand party. Dress is a little dressier than usual. Music

will be glorious. The service should last no more than 75 minutes, and childcare is available during the

service for those youngest among us who can’t sit still that long. The service will be followed by a reception

with great food and libation.

Please plan to attend and bless the beginning of this relationship!

Fellowship Matters: February 2013 Page 7

Class Info and Talk Back!

Unitarian Universalist History classes continue: February 7, 21, and 28,

6:30–8:00 p.m.

The strong branches that bear Unitarian Universalism in the 21st century are invigorated by our tradition’s

deep roots in American soil. This class will explore the history and its relevance to our faith today. Rev. Lisa

will show brief and engaging video segments shot on location at UU churches and historic sites and featuring

leading voices in Unitarian Universalism. There will be plenty of time for class discussion.

Talk Back: 1st and 3rd Mondays, 2:00–3:00 p.m.

The group got off to a great start in January, with some general feedback sessions. In February the group will

begin to explore topics together. Rev. Lisa facilitates, everyone participates, a good time is had by all! The

topic on February 4: Liberalism’s shrinking agenda.

Women’s Chocolate Party

It’s time for the Women’s Chocolate Party! Save the date—Saturday, February 16,

starting at 6:30 p.m. All women are welcome, so bring your female friends and relatives.

I supply the chocolate, and you can supply drinks or noncrumbling items to dip in the

chocolate. Or come empty handed—that’s all right, too. I live at 660 Chester Road,

Winston-Salem.

Thanks for any help,

Lucy Kaplan

Notes From the Board

In December your Board began its project of working through the book Governance and Ministry: Rethinking

Board Leadership, by Dan Hotchkiss. We had hoped to review all of Chapter 5, “The Role of the Board,” but

we weren’t able to complete this chapter since it had so much good information. We will have strived to do

additional work on Chapter 5 during our January meeting.

Every month we hear reports from all of the Board Liaisons on their respective committee’s meetings,

activities, and any concerns that the committees express. We discussed a question recently brought to the

Board about the UUFWS rental policy as well as a question about another committee’s profits. During our

“new business” portion of the meeting, we discussed the need to establish a grievance committee, which will

be a part of the charge to our Safe Congregations task force. (Please see the article in this newsletter about

our Safe Congregations initiative.)

Monthly minutes of all Board meetings are available (to members only) at our website. After you log on to

www.uufws.org, click on the “Board of Trustees” link at the left, and scroll down to select which meeting

notes you’d like to read.

Safe Congregations Task Force

The Board of Trustees has established a Safe Congregations Task Force comprising the following

UUFWS members: Shawn Angell, Stephen Biedrycki, Cynthia Braun, Gloria Fitzgibbon, Steve Jones, and Janet Zehr, with Pam Lepley and Rev. Lisa Schwartz serving as advisors and resources.

The charge to the Safe Congregations Task Force as approved by the Board of Trustees is as follows:

As our Fellowship has grown over the past decade, our existing policies and procedures have not kept up with our

growth. The Board and staff recognize the need to review and update our policies and procedures to reflect

current best practices. The Board appoints a Safe Congregations Task Force to: examine our existing policies and

procedures; review current UUA, District, and Church Insurance standards; examine UUA and Church Insurance

resources; and make policy and procedure recommendations to the Board as we strive to establish and follow

the best practices of a Safe Congregation. A multitude of resources regarding Safe Congregations is available on

the UUA website: http://www.uua.org/safe/19278.shtml.

The work of the Task Force will include, but is not limited to, the following focus areas:

Safety Policies for Children and Youth

Responsible Staffing

Building Security

Crisis Planning and Trauma Response

Disruptive Behavior Policy

Conflict Management

Covenant of Right Relations

It is anticipated that the initial work of the Task Force will take a year. It is not anticipated that the work of

establishing a Safe Congregations policy with fully implemented procedures is complete in the first year. It is also

anticipated that the Task Force will evolve into a standing Safe Congregations Committee with at least two of the

original Task Force members remaining on for a second year to seed that Committee.

In following this directive, Task Force members will consult with relevant Committees of the Fellowship

as they conduct research and consider updates and changes to current Policies. This will be an ongoing

and extended process, undertaken with care and sensitivity. Ultimately, all policy recommendations will be presented to the Board of Trustees for review and approval. The Task Force will seek to work

transparently by submitting updates to the Board and periodically posting information in the Fellowship

Matters newsletter for the congregation. If you have questions, you can contact Pam Lepley at

[email protected] or speak directly to any Task Force member.
