Herod is about to search or the child, to destroy

him. 14 Then Joseph got up, took the child and

concern is that to you and to me? My hour has

not yet come. 5 His mother said to the servants,

Do whatever he tells you. 6 Now standing

there were six stone water jars or the Jewish rites

o purifcation, each holding twenty or thirty

gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, Fill the jars withwater. And they flled them up to the brim. 8 He

said to them, Now draw some out, and take it

to the chie steward. So they took it. 9When the

steward tasted the water that had become wine,

A FOLLOw-up ON BiShOp TuTuS DiS-iNViTATiON!ADVOCACy AND The ACADemy

by Alain Epp Weaver

University of St. Thomas stones Nobel

Peace Prophet Desmond Tutu:

Please Take Action! So began an

e-mail I received early this October

from Friends of Sabeel-North America, an advocacy

group working or justice and peace in Palestine-Is-

rael. The dramatic headline evoked biblical punish-

ment and the trope o the unwelcome, embattled

prophet. I soon received a similar email rom the

Muzzlewatch website, a project o the Jewish Voiceor Peace organization committed to creating

an open atmosphere or debate about US-Israeli

policy.

Anglican Archbishop Tutu had been invited

by a local afliate o PeaceJam International, a

group dedicated to bringing Nobel Laureates into

conversation with youth, to speak at its spring 2008

conference. Since 2003, PeaceJam has held its

conerences on the campus o the University o St.

Thomas, a Catholic university in the Twin Cities,

and anticipated that 2008 would be no different.

The university administration, however, decided

not to host Tutu.When the story became public in late September,

receiving extensive coverage in the Twin Cities

local newspapers, the university administration

explained its decision as an attempt to be sensitive

to the local Jewish community. The concerns were

that there are some Jewish people in the com-

munity who eel that the Archbishop has stepped

over the line with his criticism o Israel and Israeli

policies, Doug Hennes, university vice presi-

dent, stated in the campus newspaper, The Aquin,

although he insisted that We did not receive any

pressure rom anybody in the Jewish community

not to invite him.

At issue was a speech Tutu had given at an April

2002 Friends of Sabeel conference on Ending the

Occupation. [We published excerpts o Bishop

Tutus speech in The Guardianarticle here in your

bulletin on the second Sunday in November.]The Zionist Organization o America, among

others, objected to parallels drawn by Tutu between

the Israeli military occupation and apartheid-era

South Arica and claimed that Tutu had likened Is-

rael to the Nazi regime. Tutu published his speech

in the April 29, 2002 issue ofThe Guardianunder

the title, Apartheid in the Holy Land.

Decrying the occupations checkpoint and

roadblock regime in the Occupied Territories, Tutu

asked, Have our Jewish sisters and brothers or-

gotten their humiliation? Have they orgotten the

collective punishment, the home demolitions, in

their own history so soon? Have they turned theirbacks on their proound and noble religious tradi-

tions? Have they orgotten that God cares deeply

about the downtrodden?

This is a busy season. And its just gotten busier.

As it once was proclaimed by angels, Glory to God

in the highest and on earth peace. Let us be bold

this Christmas to proclaim and advance peace or all

o Gods people.

pAsTOrs pAge

BiShOp TuTu, contd

[Bishop Tutu] proceeded to insist that, We live

in a moral universe. The apartheid government was

very powerul, but today it no longer exists. Hitler,

Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and

Idi Amin were all powerul, but in the end theybit the dust. A strongly stated, perhaps even

provocative, way o making the point that all

oppressive systems will one day come to an end,

but also not a claim that the Israeli government was

equivalent to Hitler.

The decision not to invite Tutu created strong

opposition among aculty and students, and Jew-

ish Voice or Peace joined with other groups in a

campaign to urge St. Thomas not to stie ree and

rank consideration o Israeli government policies.

Even Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation

League, while strongly disagreeing with Tutus

evaluation o Israeli policies, urged St. Thomas toreconsider its stance. By October 10 the university

had shited course.

I have wrestled with what is the right thing

to do in this situation, and I have concluded that

I made the wrong decision earlier this year not

to invite the archbishop, university president Fr.

Dennis Dease wrote in a message to the universitycommunity. Tutu and PeaceJam have been invited

to meet at the university next year, although the

event will most likely proceed at Metropolitan State

University, which agreed to host the conerence

ater St. Thomas turned down Tutu.

Ideally, the academy is a place where reasoned

disagreement is possible, and where one fnds

people passionately engaged in advocacy o dier-

ent types. How to think about the role o advocacy

in church and academy was the ocus o a recent

workshop at the University o Chicago Divinity

School, where scholars and clergy gathered to thinkabout the pitalls and promises o advocacy in their

particular contexts.

The Tutu incident at St. Thomas reects the

complications that can arise, as noted by speakers

at the workshop and discussed in breakout sessions,

when issues that generate heated disagreement are

brought into these settings. Learning to have such

debates in a reasoned spirit o patience and charity

is challenging, but what certainly will not acilitate

intense discussions in either the academy or the

church is simply closing down the debate. One

can thereore celebrate St. Thomas decision to

reverse course and invite Tutu as underscoring theimportance o carrying on with contentious, even

controversial, conversations.

DOnT BE FOOLED:The ReAL pROBLem iS NOT immigRATiON

pAsTOrs pAge

Written by Edith Rasell, Minister for Workplace Justice

Many Americans have a love-hate

relationship with immigrant work-

ers. We sometimes hate immigrants

who take our jobs. At the same

time, we love low prices, prices that may depend

on the very low wages paid immigrant workers.

But, when native-born workers are in conict with

immigrant workers, we all lose. A good society

can only be built on justice or allor immigrantworkers and or workers born in the U.S.

Chiapas is one o the poorest states in Mexico,

and the ormer home o many immigrants. A typical

coee armer in the highlands lives in a tiny house

with a dirt oor and a single dangling light bulb.

Everyone is well acquainted with poverty and hard-

ship. But as a tidal wave o economic destruction

has washed over the highland villages, people have

been orced to travel north to the U.S. seeking work.

Loved ones let behind ace the destruction o their

amily and community lie. When asked to identiy

their greatest problem, villagers name immigration.

Coee armers in Chiapas, and many other work-ers around the world, are losing their livelihoods

and ways o lie, due to biased international agree-

ments that avor corporations over workers. Skewed

economic policies are orcing people to leave their

homes to seek work and reuge rom a tsunami o

economic globalization.

Workers in the U.S. are also conronting this tidal

wave o economic change and destruction. Global-

ization has brought stagnant or alling wages, a shit

rom well-paid manuacturing jobs to lower paying

ones, fnancial insecurity, and competition by im-

migrants or jobs.

Immigration has become a hot-button issue. But,

the real problem is not immigrant workers. They are

oten victims o a system that serves neither native-

born nor oreign-born workers. A ew years ago,

the U.S. Department o Labor ound that none o

the poultry processing plants they examined paid

employees or all the time they worked. In meatpacking, more than one in every ten workers has a

signifcant injury each year. Both these industries

employ large numbers o immigrant workers. And,

immigrants rom Mexico are killed on their jobs in

the U.S. at a rate 75% higher than that of workers

who were born here.

The problem or American workers is not im-

migration, but weak and poorly enorced workplace

protections. Most frms do not exploit workers, im-

migrant or native-born. But, some do. I these com-

panies can pay less than is required by law, violate

saety standards, fre a worker or get him deported

i he tries to orm a union, and do so with minimalpenalties or none at all, then we will see more frms

exploiting workers. Wages will continue to all, ben-

efts will continue to disappear, union membership

will continue to decline, and American workers will

become more fnancially insecure. The rich will get

richer, and the poor, poorer.

The answer is not hostility to immigrants. Instead,

we must demand that politicians strengthen and


10/36


enorce workplace protections or all o us. And,

politicians must revise biased international agree-

ments that beneft multinational corporations and

harm workers here in the U.S. and around the

world.

The United Church of Christ has more than 5,700

churches throughout the United States. Rooted

in the Christian traditions of congregational

governance and covenantal relationships, each

UCC setting speaks only for itself and not on

behalf of every UCC congregation. UCC membersand churches are free to differ on important social

issues, even as the UCC remains principally com-

mitted to unity in the midst of our diversity.

Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but

How do you combine a season o joyul expectation with one o penitence? Advent

includes both. The word, Advent, means coming or arrival. It marks the beginning

o a new year with potential or a brighter, more hopeul uture. To fnd this joy, however,

we need to realize the true nature o the world the lie into which Jesus comes. Perhaps, Isaiah

expressed the combination best, with the words, People who walked in darkness have seen a great light;

those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. (Isaiah 9:2)

Penitence sounds rather orbidding, a time o sorrowul reection. Yet, it can be the darkness

that makes dawn more inspiring. Perhaps, the best part o penitence is its realism. I we are willing to

ace who and what we are, warts and all, then we no longer need to hide in pretense or outward

show. We can see and admit both our weaknesses and strengths. All o us have allen short at times,

both in what we do and who we are. Within our being, there is a measure of brokenness. No one

is perect, but we can be made whole again. God heals us, not with the kind o healing that leaves a

scar, but with ull renewal.

Becoming aware o this can make us savor the experience o this season. We tell the doctor what is

wrong and are given a cure. The broken parts o lie come together to make a whole. We are set ree

rom a burden and can walk with a lighter step.

This is a good time to savor the charity that the season provides. It can be kind o an aha! expe-rience. Our lie comes into ocus. It is like the moment when the Prodigal Son realized that he would

be better o at home than where he was, even i he returned only as a servant. He was humbled, but

later was celebrated and restored. Lie, our lie and the lives o others near us, can once again have

beauty and wholeness, despite the brokenness around us. We can be healed and made whole. What a

git to receive and to give to others!

TO dO JUsTiCe

World AIDS Day began in 1988 in

response to the global pandemic o

HIV/AIDS which was and still spreads,

in the words of Pastor Wright, through: (1) blood;

(2) semen; and (3) ignorance. World AIDS Day,

observed each year on December 1, is not only

about raising money to fnd a cure, but also about

raising awareness, advocacy, fghting prejudice, and

improving education around HIV/AIDS. Below,

you will fnd an excerpt rom the Global Steering

Committee o the World AIDS Campaign.

Though these statistics produced by Bread or The

World are startling, we can do something about this

crisis. The United Nations Development Programestimates that the basic health and nutrition needs

o the worlds poorest people could be met or an

additional $13 billion a year. Animal lovers in the

United States and Europe spend more than that on

pet ood each year. More importantly, unds and

fnances that are continuously being spent to take

lives and oil in Iraq could be spent to preserve lie innot only this country but around the world.

As the latest report indicates, over 5,700

people died each day rom AIDS-related illnesses

in 2007. Over 6,800 people are still being

infected with HIV daily, about 1,200 of whom

are children under 15; 2,900 are women 15 years

and older. The inection rates in young peopleages 15-24 remain frighteningly high. We know

these inections and these deaths are preventable

and avoidable i promises by countries to scale up

access to prevention, treatment, care and support

for all are to be fullled by 2010. The reduced

fgures or the HIV epidemic and stabilization in

some areas o rates o inection in act make suchuniversal access by 2010 more achievable.

Yet, statistics go only so ar in showing the

extent o an epidemic, and this is particularly true

with HIV. Resources or inormation services,

health care, medicines, and support services still

all ar short o need. Stigma and discrimination

are rampant, and gender inequality, violence,

and poverty deny people access to accurate

inormation, prevention, testing, counseling and

treatment. While these conditions still exist, HIVwill continue to spread.

At its essence, the epidemic is about people,

not numbers. Rates o inection and deaths

even in their millions do not begin to reveal

the true toll o AIDS on amilies and riends, on

communities, on people already at the margins

o society, on youth and women in particular. Yesterday, we celebrated the lie o Anthony

Hollins, who, among other things, stood boldly or

justice and compassion with and or those aected

and infected by HIV/AIDS. Anthonys voice was

a trumpet around the nation calling or increased

awareness, testing and justice with regard to those

infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. In Anthonysmemory, I urge you to do three things:

Get tested, so that you know your status;1.

Empower yoursel with awareness and education2.

about HIV/AIDS So that you will be able to

dispel the myths that abound. Our HIV/AIDS

ministry is more than willing to empower you

with inormation;

Be an advocate or those inected and aected3.

The ReSuLTS OF A ReDeemeD LiFeDO SOmeThiNg NiCe

One o the best ways to guarantee a great day is to ocus your atten-

tion on someone else. Several years ago, the spirit o Random acts o

kindness captured the imagination o the country. What a simple, yet

powerul concept the idea o doing something nice or someone else,with no expectations o anything in return.

One morning, I had the radio on, listening or a weather orecast, the

temperature and the trafc report. As I listened, a caller telephoned in

on his cell phone to report something he had just witnessed. Several

people were standing at a bus stop in a torrential downpour. Since the

storm hadnt been predicted, they had no protection rom the rain andwere getting soaked. One woman was holding her purse over her head,

as i it would protect her. The caller reported that he had watched as a

car pulled up beside the people on the curb as the driver jumped out

o his car, handed them an umbrella, and quickly got back into the car,

moved into the ow o trafc, and was gone. The caller was touched

by what he had seen and wanted to share the story o that simple, yetbenevolent gesture with those o us who were listening.

What a beautiul example o doing something or someone else.

I recently read, Share an umbrella with someone, and your heart

will be flled with sunshine. The giver o the umbrella that morning

surely had a heart flled with not only sunshine, but also with love and

compassion or his ellow man. Today and everyday, be ready to shareumbrellas with those who need them.

proclaim to her that her hard service has beencompleted, that her sin has been paid for, thatshe has received from the LORDs hand doublefor all her sins.

FuayIsaiah 40:454 Every valley shall be raised up,

every mountain and hill made low; the roughground shall become level, the rugged placesa plain. 5And the glory of the LORD will berevealed, and all mankind together will see it.For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

MaIsaiah 40:11

He tends his ock like a shepherd:He gathers the lambs in his arms and carriesthem close to his heart; he gently leads thosethat have young.

AilIsaiah 40:18 To whom, then, will you compare

God? What image will you compare him to?MaIsaiah 40:21 Do you not know? Have younot heard? Has it not been told you from thebeginning? Have you not understood since theearth was founded?

JunIsaiah 40:25 To whom will you compare me?Or who is my equal? says the Holy One.

JulyIsaiah 40:26 Li your eyes and look to theheavens: Who created all these? He who brings

out the starry host one by one, and calls themeach by name. Because of his great power andmighty strength, not one of them is missing.

AuguIsaiah 40:27 Why do you say, O Jacob, andcomplain, O Israel, My way is hidden from the

LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God?StemIsaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you notheard? e LORD is the everlasting God, theCreator of the ends of the earth. He will notgrow tired or weary, and his understanding no

one can fathom.OtoIsaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary andincreases the power of the weak.

NvemIsaiah 40:30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

DcemIsaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORDwill renew their strength. ey will soar onwings like eagles; they will run and not growweary, they will walk and not be faint.

RestoatiA God of

My heartfelt hope for the congregation in the year 2007 is that each member
