Advocacy: Stick up for Yourself, for Others, and for our Values Rev. Allen and Kate Holt

 How do we make our values come alive, and work to make them visible in the larger world around us? Often, the frustrating part of caring is realizing that change is hard and, too often, elusive. But sometimes change can happen. Rev. Allen is inspired by new member Kate Holt. After her then employer, the City of Springfield, refused to support her request to get health insurance benefits for transgender care, Kate and the ACLU decided to challenge the position that felt

unfair and discriminatory. The Illinois Human Rights Commission took this case and set precedent by claiming that exclusion of gender-affirming care from employee insurance plans violates Illinois civil rights law, including protections for sex and gender identity. Policy was changed in Springfield, and barriers to this potentially life-saving care are being removed in other jurisdictions as a result. We all can be inspired by knowing that sometimes, goodness does prevail.

This Dynamic Life                                                                Stacey Recht
Tedium and toil tire us totally. It can be impossible to remember that our bodies are made of sky matter that has always existed and has
always moved. In our annual movement service, we welcome yoga practitioner Michelle Bauer to remind us to breathe, moving our
bodies and shaking our star stuff. This service is appropriate for all ages and all levels. Please dress for comfort and movement.

Wrapped in the Flag and Clutching the Cross                       Rev. Marcia Curtis
“Wrapped in the flag and clutching the cross" is a quotation from a journalist whose name I never learned. It describes white Christian
nationalism, a focus on restoring or retaining white Christian power in this country. There are many Christians who aren't white Christian nationalists, but there's also a large group, particularly among white evangelicals, who are. What are the dangers? What can we do?
