April 2013
“Oh, who cares?! We’re not Catholic. Why should I care who the Pope is?” These were the words of several
Unitarian Universalist friends as we were talking about the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now known as
Francis, as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. “I don’t care what he has to say. He’s not in charge of how we
think and act!”
“True,” I replied, “but there are millions of people who do care -- priests and bishops, your neighbors and
friends, and politicians and generals all over the world. He will have a profound influence on the religious and
ethical choices of a whole bunch of people with a whole bunch of influence. It matters.”
Now, we Unitarian Universalists have no Pope, no one person with supreme religious authority speaking as
the voice of all of their followers. We’re pretty happy about the fact that we gave that up long ago.
So how, then, do Unitarian Universalist ideas about ethics and faith and life and community find their way into
the public conversation?
It’s very simple: through us. Through you and me and all of our fellow UUs. There is no other way that our
message of love, covenant, and community has any influence at all if not through us.
My first sermon this month asks the question, “Being a Unitarian Universalist Evangelist? Can We Do That?” At
the risk of spoiling my sermon, here’s my answer:
“We have no choice.”
There is no other way that our voice and perspective will be heard unless we speak up. There is not other way
for our vision of the Beloved Community to have a chance of becoming a reality unless we share it widely.
Other religious communities are clear and vocal and determined to see that their vision and faith have an
impact on the world. Unless each and every one of us -- ministers, denominational leaders, congregational
leaders, individual congregants young and old -- chooses to speak and act we will have no influence on the
world we live in.
I was moved and heartened to hear our brilliant youth share their “elevator speeches” with us last month in a
variety of conversations and situations where they are actively finding ways to speak up for and about their
faith. Think of their humor and patience and commitment. And then think of the challenge they placed before
us: speak up!
in peace and love

April. 7, 2013: Being a Unitarian Universalist Evangelist? Can We Do That? — Rev. Ian Riddell
There is no other way that our voice and perspective will be heard unless we speak up. There is no
other way for our vision of the Beloved Community to have a chance of becoming a reality unless we
share it widely. Other religious communities are clear and vocal and determined to see that their
vision and faith have an impact on the world. What can we do when we have such diversity of belief
and ways of being? How can we be a voice for love and justice?
April 14, 2013: Multi-Generational Soul Sunday Workship: Participating in our Multicultural
World — Rev. Ian W Riddell & DLFD Danielle Bell
Join us this Sunday for a unique experience that combines worship and music and learning. We'll
participate in a series of activities that will engage and exercise our ideas about being participants in a
multi-faith and multi-cultural world. There will be no meetings in the building this day. Instead, all
ages will gather together to sing and ponder and hear and share stories and experiences of being in
relationship with the rich diversity of the world. Here’s what’s happening:
9:00 am - 10:00 am: Come Sing a Song with Me
Join our choir, our Choir Director Shireen Beaudry-Johnson, and Rev. Ian as we sing together
songs from around the world. Singing together is a great way to learn and make new
connections.
10:30 am - 11:30 am: Soul Sunday Multigenerational Workship: Participating in our
Multicultural World
Come participate in our morning service for a unique experience that combines worship and
music and learning. We'll participate in a series of activities that will engage and exercise our
ideas about being participants in a multi-faith and multi-cultural world.
11:30 am - 12:30 pm: All-Ages Coffee Hour Conversations and Creations
Continue the conversation and pondering as we gather in the social hall for coffee and
snacks, and more opportunities to share with each other. There will also be opportunities for
your minds and hands to be creative!
For more information, please contact Rev. Ian or Danielle Bell.

Lifespan Faith Development News — April
Thursdays with TED has gone Digital:
Thank you for everyone that has been able to attend our Thursday’s with TED viewing events. Each
TEDTalks video shared has been filled with inspirational and thought-provoking messages, and it has
been great to hear our guests share their views and perspective on each video. It really is interesting
to sit together, watch the same video, and then witness how we can have such a variety of viewpoints
on the experience.
Since we haven’t had the size of the audience that has made these on-site events practical for us to
host, we have decided to take our Thursday’s with TED initiative digital. Each Thursday, beginning in
April, we will post a video for reflection from the TEDTalk site on our UUCLV Facebook and Twitter
page. We will also share the link in our Weekly Announcements.
The intention for viewing the TEDTalks videos together was to promote community, be able to share
in a safe space, and support and learn from one another. As our vision has gone digital, we will work
through the logistics of creating a safe community to share your comments and thoughts. During that
time, please feel free to view the videos, comment on the posts, and if you are moved by what you
see, be sure to share these videos on your own Facebook pages, or twitter accounts to collect other
perspectives and ideas.
I look forward to your feedback and ideas in how we can move forward with this type of learning and
digital ministry and liberal religious exploration. .
Singing Meditation Workshop April 20th
We are very excited to be introducing to you the singing meditation experience. No musical
experience is required, and all are welcome.
During this worship Rev. Ian and Danielle Bell will be guiding you as we explore the history of singing
meditation and sacred music traditions; learn a variety of vocal exercises and the additional benefits
to warming-up and toning the voice; understand the cultural context and faith backgrounds of the
songs we will be learning; and put in practice the different styles and disciplines of singing meditation;
chants, rounds, songs in harmony, call-and-repeat, as well as learning to flow into silence.
We invite you to become reacquainted with the power and spirit that your voice holds.
Please register at [email protected] by April 14th. Lunch will be provided.

Super Camp Sunday-April 21st
Yes, we are entering Spring, accompanied by the anxiously awaited end-of-school and what summer
may bring. Not to rush things, but now is time to start thinking about camp! During these next couple
months, congregations across the PSWD will partner with Camp de Benneville Pines to promote this
amazing line-up of youth summer camps. I’m excited to serve a congregation that is supportive of the
camp experience and understands the connection it brings to the wider Unitarian Universalist
community.
On this Sunday you’ll find a table with a special Super Camp Sunday registration form, information
about applying for a youth scholarship, and information about our camps. This is a great chance to
chat with those that have been to camp, connect with other parents about car-pooling, and find other
ways to help fundraise personally for your camp registration fee. If you turn in your Super Camp
Sunday registration with a $75.00 non-refundable deposit you will receive a Super Camp Sunday
discount of $35.
I am honored to be serving the Pacific Southwest District as the Camping Ministries Director and am
so excited about the wonderful themes and camp programming that we have planned this summer.
Our camps are staffed with some of the district’s most valued liberal religious educators, cherished lay
leaders, and engaged, dedicated volunteers. Our cabin counselors are trained through our
comprehensive CIT Training program and are caring, energetic youth and adults who have a great
love and respect for camp.

Please join us as we play, sing, laugh, swim, and enjoy the greatness of being in community with

many ways in which we can share who we are and be where we are needed. As always, we will have
tons, tons, tons of fun!
We are the Peacemakers! - Sunday, July 7 - Saturday, July 13
Junior High Summer Camp (for those just completing grade 6 th – 8th)
Dean: Barbara Braswell
This year, our Junior High summer camp will center around becoming peacemakers in our personal
lives, as well as in the greater world! Each day we will focus on one of the following: communication,
respect, listening, forgiveness, and living courageously. Living peacefully - at home, at school, with
friends - begins with us and spreads like ripples in water.

Did You Know …?
by Rita Ransom
We're on a long-term mission to make our church home more attractive. Working with our terrific
maintenance man Jet Erikson, we're cleaning nooks and crannies, making small repairs, painting,
tidying up, and doing all we can to beautify our surroundings as much as possible.
How can you help? It's easy! You can join in when we host cleanup days, both outside and inside.
Many hands make light work, and there's something for everyone to do, no matter what their
limitations. Even an hour or two of your time can make a big difference in how much we accomplish.
You can also help by asking someone on the Facilities committee before you bring in items to donate
to the church. These include household items, clothing, tools, etc. Maybe you're donating them for
use at UUCLV, or perhaps for a future rummage sale. But please, instead of just anonymously
dropping them off or leaving them anywhere in the church, ask us first and we'll make sure your
donation goes where it's supposed to. Recently several items were left at the church in inappropriate
places, and sadly, they had to be removed and donated elsewhere.
Who should you ask? That's easy - Rita Ransom, Jane Feldman, Steve Winkel, or Mark Bergtholdt.
We'll be glad to help!

UUCLV HUUMANIST FORUM
Speakers & Schedules
Communicating. Connecting with others. Transmitting information. Expressing concern. Making or cancelling a
date.
Look around you and see the hand-held devices at the ear of so many. How, only a few short years ago, did we
survive without all the electronic devices now connecting us?
Integral to our communicating is language and the pivotal role it plays in our ability to make the most of what
the I-culture offers. Some bemoan the corruption of language in the grip of technology. This critique denies the
innovation required by a technology that appears to have outpaced the capacity to profit from it in the general
population. But has it?
Users -- especially youthful ones not yet in possession of grammar, syntax, vocabulary -- unabashedly embrace
this new culture and create their own language which allows them to communicate. This works. Do we truly
need school?
On April 7th, Bruce Isaacson, published man of letters and, yes, wordsmith par excellence, will explore language
and its evolution in our i-culture. Is the I-culture citizen, youth or senior, really any different from any citizen in
history who has not read Moby Dick, yet, who can use and communicate via self-crafted acronyms and
abbreviations? RIP.
Future HUUmanist Forums, which are open to all members and friends of UUCLV as well as the general
public, will be:
April 7th: Language, Power & Common Understanding: A Discussion: Bruce Isaacson will facilitate a
discussion on the power of language either to obstruct or illuminate understanding. Surely, there is a better
language to share understanding than today's dominant form seen in work and media. Is common understanding
possible? Desirable? What is the meaning of 'in-group' language? Does technical language inform us or exclude
us? What is the value of shared experience? What can we do to find a common language?
May 5th: Raul Martinez will explore the powers of skepticism via the skills of a conjurer. Intent on including
children in his demonstration of studied disbelief, Raul will do card tricks, mind reading and comedy within his
premise: skepticism is promoted via the persona of a real wizard, with magic powers that make it impossible for
anyone to believe him.
June 2nd: Disasters are part of human existence. Our technological civilization has made us less resilient and
more vulnerable to high impact, low frequency events, possibly having global catastrophic consequences. A well
planned network of fast-scalable survival communities could enable the survival of significant populations.
Erland Wittkotter will facilitate this discussion.

Earth Day Events - Two Choices Saturdays April 20 and/or 27
April 20 - Earth Day Walk with the Moapa Paiutes and the Sierra Club
Meeting Place: The Moapa Tribal Travel Plaza (the ‘fireworks’ station at the Valley of Fire exit off I-15,
Exit #75). That’s 24 miles north of the intersection of I-15 and 215. Time to be announced in weekly
announcements.
From the Plaza, we’ll walk or shuttle over to the site of the K Road solar project, about 1.5 miles. The
speakers and press event will be at the K Road solar project site. Chairman William Anderson is our
host from the Moapa Band of Paiutes. Allison Chin, president of the Sierra Club will attend. The Tribe
is inviting other dignitaries as well.
This is not just about relieving the burden of pollution from a small community, although that is a very
important issue. This is a celebration of people working to change their own situation, and making
good choices over the long-term. Investing in solar energy is not an easy decision for so many
reasons, and the Moapa Paiutes are courageous and inspirational people.
Members of the UUCLV Social Justice Council have been
joining Sierra Club members and others in calling for an
investigation and possible closure of the Reid Gardner coal
burning plant adjacent to the Moapa township. We’ve attended
EPA and PUC (Public Utility Commission) meetings and heard
complaints about health concerns from the local Moapa
population. The plant has been allowed to stay open. Now we
find that mandatory environmental reporting data had been
fabricated (either intentionally or through error) by a contractor
working for Nevada Energy. To read the full story, click here..

Easter Fundraiser Lunch - Saving Lives on the Desert
Easter Lunch - after services on Sunday, March 31. A Ham dinner with all the trimmings! $5.00 or
more if you like. All your donations for Sunday’s Easter Lunch will be used to purchase first aid
supplies for the Tucson UU-affiliated group, No More Deaths (NMD). NMD Volunteers patrol the
desert south of Tucson, looking out for lost border crossers who need water, food, and first aid. The
all-volunteer group also staffs an office on the Mexican-side of Nogales, and interviews deportees
about their (sometimes poor) treatment while in custody of the U.S. Border Patrol.
UUCLV Social Justice Council Forum:
The Struggle for Fair Wages and Benefits
Some years from now school children will wonder why all Americans in the early part of the 21 st
Century didn’t have adequate health care and decent wages to support their families. Like those
people in the audience at the March 2 forum sponsored by our Social Justice Council and the Left of
Center Art Gallery, the children will hear stories of union activists, regular people -- waitresses,
bellhops, bartenders, and room attendants -- who stood up for their rights and established themselves
as a vibrant part of the middle class in the Las Vegas Valley.
If you’re new to Las Vegas, you’ll wonder why on March 20 union members sat down in the middle of
Las Vegas Blvd. in front of the Cosmopolitan and were arrested, as they felt it necessary to block
traffic to publicize management’s two-year delay in signing a labor contract. Click here for a local TV
news story on the sit-down. This story will continue over the next year as many contracts are up for
renewal on the Strip, and other corporations, like Station Casinos, try to delay unionization despite
thriving businesses.
While the Unitarian Universalist Association doesn’t support one union or another, we do support “the
right of workers to organize and bargain collectively, protection against unsafe working conditions,
and protection against unjust dismissal.”

Our mission is to share the principles of Unitarian
Universalism and provide a spiritual home for
religious liberals; to encourage and facilitate
sacred journeys; and to assist victims of injustice.
Our Vision
UUCLV is a non-creedal liberal religious community where
people of diverse ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and
beliefs unite around common values. Our multi-site ministry
shares the principles of Unitarian Universalism with all of
Southern Nevada by providing a home and a voice for spiritual
seekers while serving as a force for social justice in the greater
community. Here, congregants are challenged to think for
themselves, to grow spiritually, and to express and live their
values.
