SUMMARY:GCC Delegate Assembly in Person
DESCRIPTION:After several years of being apart\, Greater Cleveland Congregations (GCC) will gather together in person!\nThursday May 25\, 2023\n7 PM\nImani United Church of Christ\n832 E 222nd Street\nEuclid\, Ohio 44123\nWe are excited about coming together again as a whole organization! In order to re-acquaint ourselves\, or make new acquaintances\, the assembly will include one-on-one gatherings along with house meetings\, where groups of leaders will sit together for a guided discussion. Once again our EngageGCC tri-chairs\, Marcia Levine\, Susan Reis and Willie Brown\, whose congregation is hosting the assembly\, will lead the meeting.\n\nAll are welcome to participate and you can sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJKts_OIwNLLF-Uu6HP91DuC9KomgKapEoYanIUI0AMz1zdw/viewform?usp=sf_link\n\nGCC Updates\nLast month\, leaders of the GCC Juvenile Bindover Team had an unprecedented meeting with all six of Cuyahoga County’s juvenile judges to establish a relationship and to express GCC’s deep concerns about the bindover of youth to adult court. As a result of the meeting\, the judges have invited GCC leaders to sit in on their courts and individual meetings with the judges will be scheduled to continue this extremely important dialogue.\n\n\nIn recognition of GCC leader Donna Weinberger‘s efforts\, the Alcohol\, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board has chosen Donna and GCC to receive a Helping Hands Award for their work as longtime advocates for reforming criminal justice systems and policies to include diversion efforts and education related to mental health and substance use disorders in Cuyahoga County. Congratulations to Donna and the team!\n\n\nLast month\, nine GCC staff and leaders joined eight other organizations in Washington\, DC to form a New Organizing Alliance and discuss how the group can work together to create change. At the meeting an interim structure was outlined\, leading eventually to the formation of a member-based collective that will leverage the expertise of each organization. The new organizing alliance will have two national trainings\, one this coming fall in Washington\, DC and one next spring in Cleveland.\n

SUMMARY:UU Taboos: Sin
DESCRIPTION:The words we use matter. But the words we don’t use matter too. \nI have been hoping to find a way to talk about words and what is wrapped up in them\, especially when our spirituality is at issue. Here’s my attempt at that: a set of conversations about some of the words we don’t use. And hopefully along with that\, a chance to enjoy one another’s company and some beautiful Summer evenings outdoors. \nBeing able to ask meaningful questions of ourselves requires looking at our assumptions\, biases and implicit feelings. And since we create brave space at UUCC\, I invite us to do just that about some of the big picture religious ideas that sometimes rattle around when we work on big ideas. \nWhat are these ideas that often show up as what we are trying NOT to do\, and NOT to be? What are our feelings about these ideas? What can we learn about ourselves by reflecting on our feelings? And how else may we understand these ideas? How can they challenge us? What can we learn by thinking with them as well as against them? \nThese conversations will have a particular structure. Its going to be a casual conversation. There’s no curriculum here. Instead\, the goal will be to invite those who join the conversation to express their feelings about one of our taboos. After we get those feelings out\, I’ll hope to give some wider context\, some other points of view that we might reflect on. After some discussion\, we’ll invite one another to express some new directions they could see for these taboo ideas that hopefully lead to more discussion. \nWe’ll be gathering on Sunday evenings in either the garden or on the East lawn\, unless weather chases us inside. I sincerely hope some fireflies join us.

SUMMARY:FaCT Speaker Series: “Coal and Empire: The Birth of Energy Security in Industrial America”
DESCRIPTION:VIA  ZOOM  Sunday\, July 30th at 8:00 p.m. ET \n\n\n\n“Coal and Empire: The Birth of Energy Security in Industrial America” \n\n\n\nCoal and Empire offers an intellectual feast for both historians and modern energy scholars. Meticulously researched and expertly written\, it attempts to show how an energy fuel\, in this instance coal\, became an integral part of United States national security in the nineteenth century.―Technology and Culture \n\n\n\nRegister for this Zoom Event: REGISTER \n\n\n\nOr to register visit: www.factohio.org/dist-speak \n\n\n\nPeter Schulman\n\n\n\nCoal and Empire: The Birth of Energy Security in Industrial America   \n\n\n\nThe fascinating history of how coal-based energy became entangled with American security. \n\n\n\nSince the early twentieth century\, Americans have associated oil with national security. From World War I to American involvement in the Middle East\, this connection has seemed a self-evident truth. But\, as Peter A. Shulman argues\, Americans had to learn to think about the geopolitics of energy in terms of security\, and they did so beginning in the nineteenth century: the age of coal. \n\n\n\nCoal and Empire insightfully weaves together pivotal moments in the history of science and technology by linking coal and steam to the realms of foreign relations\, navy logistics\, and American politics. Long before oil\, coal allowed Americans to rethink the place of the United States in the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReview:Fast-paced\, engaging\, and accessible\, Coal and Empire reveals how the extraction and use of coal was intertwined with domestic and international politics\, economics and world trade\, and innovations in science\, mathematics\, and technology. Historians of technology and energy will naturally appreciate the book\, but the easy-to-digest writing style and broad analysis will also interest readers beyond academia. Shulman’s book has wonderful potential to become a valued and well-read treatise. \n\n\n\n— Richard F. Hirsh \n\n\n\nZoom participants will be eligible to win a copy of Coal and Empire
