1. Happy Easter!
2. Christ is risen.
3. Indeed.
4. Tomorrow brings May flowers, but the cherry blossoms have come, and will be gone in a few days from now. We are celebrating Asian Heritage Month for the whole month of May. What a poetic place to begin from – within this grove of cherry trees gifted to the City of Hamilton and planted in a park in Dundas by alumnae of Toyo Eiwa Jogakuin in Tokyo. With their gift they have honoured and celebrate all the Canadian women teachers who taught at their school – the school that Centenary’s Martha Cartmell began in 1881.
5. The Pastoral Care Committee is offering a worship gathering of lament on Tuesday, May 11^th at 8 pm for the New Vision community. We have suffered a lot since the beginning of the pandemic emergency, and we have seen much suffering. This will be a space for us to draw God into controversy with us over our grief. The Zoom link for the gathering: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84971560584?pwd=SzNvWEw3bmU0ZlZ6TmEyMmlIN0IzZz09
6. Saturday Night at the Movies this month will take place on Saturday May 15. Watch this space for the start time and zoom gathering to watch together. The movie has been chosen by a group of our Asian heritage folks. It is Minari — the story of a  Korean family that started a farm in 1980s Arkansas. It was nominated in this year’s Academy Awards for 6 Oscars including best picture, and won the Oscar for best supporting actress.
7. All of Ontario, including Hamilton, continues in pandemic lock-down. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays. I know those gathering on Zoom keenly miss those who have been gathering in person. I am looking forward to the day we can meet again in person, and I am sad that this is the second Easter we will not be able to gather in person as a Christian faith community.
8. New Vision Virtual Worship is experiential, participatory, image-rich and collective, just like worship in person at New Vision! Join us on Sunday mornings 10:30 am week to week during the Covid-19 emergency by clicking here. If you want to put the link someplace easy to find each week, here it is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/782292511. Please share it with others and invite them to a “different” kind of time on Zoom from the usual.
9. You can also call in to the gathering on the telephone toll free. Call 1 855 703 8985, then, when prompted, input the Meeting ID 782 292 511 followed by the # sign. Ignore the prompts for Participant ID and Password. You are in when the recorded voice says, “You are in the meeting.” If you can only connect by video on your computer with no audio, you can use the phone connection for audio and the computer connection for visual.

Hope to see you Sunday ~ again, or for the first time ~

1. Happy Easter!
2. Christ is risen.
3. Indeed.
4. Follow this link to hear the choir sing the Hallelujah Chorus of Handel again (or for the first time).
5. We have been engaged by the wider community of Hamilton in complex ways over our redevelopment plans at 85 Holton Ave. S.
6. On behalf of Church Council and at the encouragement of our chair Dixon Challoner I thank all of you who wrote to your ward councilor as a part of New Vision responding to this engagement in the last week. You can follow this link to read the letters from among New Vision folks that were submitted in time to be included in the agenda as correspondence for the meeting.
7. Others who wrote can be assured that your councilor received your letter, even though your letter did not make the deadline for inclusion as received correspondence.
8. Our rough estimate is somewhere between 20-25 letters from New Vision and its friends came to the Councillors between Sunday afternoon and Tuesday evening.
9. Councillor Nann’s motion to refer the intention to designate motion back to the Planning Committee for staff input and the opportunity for us to present the various scenarios of what the redevelopment might look like to the Planning Committee was passed 13-1 by the Council.
10. This was our hoped-for outcome as it provides us with an opportunity to engage new residents to the former St. Giles neighbourhood who are not aware of our deep connections to the neighbourhood, the history of the project, nor how our plans for the property are in fact an evolution of the identity of the former St. Giles as it ended and New Vision began: a clear social justice vision and concern for the well-being of the neighbourhood.
11. For a fair report on the Council meeting decision and the current views of various parties interested in it, the Spec published on the story here.
12. This Sunday we are joined in our worship gathering by our Rockville United partners in Maryland with whom we are bringing the Al Zahar family from Syria to Canada as refugees. Since the United Church of Christ in the USA (of which they are a part) is a full communion partner of The United Church of Canada, we are able to mark the occasion of our partnership with communion. Please have your beverage and food of choice available to you when you come to the worship gathering on Sunday.
13. Our theme on Sunday will be the theme of provision of sanctuary to refugees and our commitments and the conditions under which we seek to live out those commitments as Christians as part of the global community.
14. In other news…one of the first fruits of our Intercultural Relationship Currency Design Project is our celebration of Asian Heritage Month throughout the upcoming month of May. A planning group assisted by the Worship Committee is moving plans forward.
15. And in still more other news…the New Vision Affirming committee recently met to review our PIE Day recipes and to plan how to bake them into the year ahead (apologies for the bad pun). We will be hearing more from the Affirming Committee soon. Look forward with me to the New Vision UCC national Pride Sunday celebration on Sunday June 6.
16. One technology note: those of you who are on our Threshold Partnership e-list were sent some reports of actions your Church Council was taking with respect to the redevelopment plan at 85 Holton Ave. S. earlier this week. We’ve learned that some of those emails went into the spam/junk/promotions folders of more than one or two. If you are receiving this New Vision Note, and believe you should be on the Threshold Partnership e-list, please check in those various folders for email from this address officeadmin@newvisionunited.org. If you can’t find the emails, please contact New Vision by responding to this edition of New Vision Notes and let us know.
17. Hamilton is back into the Province of Ontario’s “grey zone”. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays. I know those gathering on Zoom keenly miss those who have been gathering in person. I am looking forward to the day we can meet again in person, and I am sad that this is the second Easter we will not be able to gather in person as a Christian faith community.

Notes Wed Mar 31 2021

1. I invited those of you at our Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday worship gathering this past Sunday to engage the passion and crucifixion stories of Jesus as texts through which you lament the violence that causes and reinforces marginalizations with which many live.
2. There is little doubt (based on my awareness of my own privilege) that this is a disturbing engagement for any one of us. Privilege and marginalization are experiences and realities of most of our lives. Extended marginalization or privilege is only sustained through violence, as the cross of Jesus shows.
3. Violence in any form brings trauma, and one of the realities we sit with in lamentation at the violence of the crucifixion of Jesus is the trauma of the violence upon our own bodies that comes with inequality, exclusiveness and monocultural frames of social reference.
4. This is hard work.
5. This is Holy Week work.
6. Jesus verbalizes this work in the passion stories with his prayer to God in Gethsemane, “Not my will, but your will be done.”
7. During this holy week, I invite you to accompany Jesus in enacting this prayer as far as you can in your lament over his passion and crucifixion. For on the other side is…
8. Reach out to me or trusted others. We are not alone.
9. We will share an agape meal Maundy Thursday – bring some snacks and beverage of your choice to our virtual worship gathering at 7 pm. Depending on numbers we will break out into smaller rooms to enable conversations to take place. After we have settled in we will join together for a service of shadows (Tenebrae) in our zoom worship gathering room. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/782292511
10. A brief worship gathering will take place on Good Friday at 10:30 am in the New Vision virtual worship room. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/782292511
11. Good Friday is not part of Lent – Lent ends on the Thursday of Holy Week, Maundy Thursday.
12. In some countries hot cross buns are baked and eaten on Good Friday to break the Lenten fast and begin the Easter celebration. They are a soft, sweet bread roll made with a vanilla icing cross on the top. Something to bake on Good Friday during a pandemic? Enough to have some around still on Easter Day? Here is a recipe – not a recommendation of this particular one, but an invitation –

13. Looking ahead: Our Rockville partners in bringing the Al Zahar family from Syria to Canada as refugees will be joining us for our virtual worship gathering on Sunday, Apr 18 at the usual time of 10:30 am.

14. Hamilton is back into the Province of Ontario’s “grey zone”. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays. I know those gathering on Zoom keenly miss those who have been gathering in person.

1. This coming Sunday, March 21, is the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. To mark the occasion, the United Church is hosting a webinar from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Eastern Time, called “A Biblical and Theological Exploration on Preaching Race and Racism.”  This will be a rich conversation about anti-racist preaching, biblical interpretation, and realities of racism in The United Church of Canada, led by United Church of Canada Emmanuel College preaching professor HyeRan Kim-Cragg.

2.

5. Thanks to all the cooks in the kitchen last Sunday for our first annual national PIE Day. We have three recipes for New Vision PIE (Public, Intentional, Explicit) from our work together on Sunday for the upcoming year. I am sharing one now and will share the others in the weeks ahead.

6. Our Regional Council social justice officer is inviting Hamilton residents to contact their ward councilor to encourage them to pause changes to the City’s Official Plan initiated by the province that would cause more urban sprawl. For more information for your email follow this link.  You may also choose to sign the petition you find there.

7. Even though Hamilton has moved into the Province of Ontario’s “red zone” the New Vision Church Council prefers at this time that New Vision not participate in potentially virus-spreading activities in the community. Hamilton residents are being given clear warnings by our Public Health Board that faster spreading variants of the coronavirus are now occurring here. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays.

Fri Mar 12 2021

1. This Sunday, March 14 we will hold our first Affirming PIE Day. PIE = Public. Intentional. Explicit. These are the standards we hold ourselves and our welcome to as an affirming and inclusive community. March 14 is a chance to serve some pie and roll out the PIE by celebrating the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit people in faith communities and beyond across Canada.

2. For those who might be wondering where The United Church of Canada’s “PIE Day” comes from: a) “Pi” Day is the totally irrational creation of the mathematics community that noticed that March 14 could be construed numerically as 3.14 (March= 3rd month); b) 3.14 is a mathematical short hand for “pi” – shorthand because pi is an “irrational number” — the quotient of a division that cannot be expressed as a common fraction, and its decimal equivalent never settles into a permanently repeating pattern; c) because the solid scientific evidence that individual sexual orientation and gender identity belie human categorization, “irrational” is a good way to characterize these elements of human diversity; d) “Pi” is also a mathematical constant – another metaphor to describe the reality of gender identity and sexual orientation in humans (and other species); e) “PIE” as an acronym captures ingredients successful Affirming ministry in the UCC aspires to: public, intentional, explicit; and finally f) tell me who in the United Church does not like pie of one kind or another?

3. For this PIE Day, our theme is “What’s in your PIE?” We will be using the photo of recipe card included in these notes to share thoughts about this during our virtual worship gathering this Sunday!

4. We planned to have our first PIE Day worship gathering last year, but it fell on the first Sunday of the pandemic lockdown. It took us a couple of weeks to migrate to this virtual platform using Zoom. As a result, we missed PIE Day last year.

5. One could also say that viruses have an element of the irrational and constant to them, and so this anniversary of the COVID-19 virus pandemic seems like something to mark with PIE too.

6. PIE is useful for a lot of things, including the effective response seen across Canadian society to the pandemic, as well as revealing the yawning gaps between rich and poor, settler and first nation, and racialized and white divisions of our populace (see how pi is calculated – the division of circumference of a circle by its radius).

7. A couple of Sundays ago I drew attention to the presence of a Black Sunday School in a United Church Hamilton tradition of recognizing best attended and largest growing Sunday Schools through the first half of the last century. I mentioned in wondering out loud if anyone might research that as part of the development of our intercultural relationship currency design project, that the UCC has awarded an Embracing the Spirit grant to a national United Church program of intercultural research. Six young racialized scholars have recently been awarded funds from this grant. To learn more about them and their projects, follow this UCC link.

8. Even though Hamilton has moved into the Province of Ontario’s “red zone” the New Vision Church Council prefers at this time that New Vision not participate in potentially virus-spreading activities in the community. Hamilton residents are being given clear warnings by our Public Health Board that faster spreading variants of the coronavirus are now occurring here. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays.

March 14 is a chance to serve some pie and roll out the PIE by celebrating the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit people in faith communities and beyond across Canada. PIE, anyone? 3. If you hadn’t noticed, this Sunday coming up will be the 52nd Sunday since we ceased gathering at 24 Main W for our Sunday worship. 4.

1. Join in New Vision’s Saturday Night at the Movies, this Saturday. Feb. 27 at 7 pm, in recognition of Black History Month. We will be watching “Journey to Justice”, a film paying tribute to a group of Canadians who took racism to court. They are Canada’s unsung heroes in the fight for Black civil rights. Their stories deserve to be told. Join in using the following link: https://zoom.us/j/93558790014?pwd=cUl1VUhKdllEQ3NieUpnbWlkNWJ5QT09 . Presented by the Affirming Committee, with discusssion to follow this 50 min. long film.
2. It has been a while since I’ve shared updates from the Music Hall at New Vision initiative. Of course the pandemic has halted all kinds of congregate gathering performances and performances in the Music Hall are no exception. We have been carrying on gathering broader community notice for the Music Hall while we figure out what the mid-term holds for our initiative.
3. Our Heritage Designation at 24 Main W by the City has meant that we have been granted funding for our heritage architect consultants to assess the impact of the renovations we plan for the building on the designated heritage attributes of the building. The Heritage Property Grant Program is also funding about 45% of the cost of our new boiler.
4. We recently were awarded an Investment Readiness Program (IFP) grant to help us put together the governance and operating structure of the Music Hall. If you follow this link and either keep clicking your mouse pointer to zoom in on Hamilton on the map, or type “New Vision” into the organization box below the map, you will get to the public details of our award. The IRP program provides grants to “social purpose organizations” like us to help us ready ourselves to obtain impact investment loans to help fund our start up. You can learn more about the IRP Canada-wide federal program at the same link.
5. This IRP grant will support work by the Music Hall project that complements our New Vision intercultural relationship currency design project.
6. Even though Hamilton has moved into the Province of Ontario’s “red zone” the New Vision Church Council prefers not to participate in potentially virus-spreading activities in the community. I am sad to say this means that New Vision folks without access to Zoom will have to wait for a while more to participate in person at 24 Main W in our Zoom worship gathering on Sundays. I know those gathering on Zoom keenly miss those who have been gathering in person. I am looking forward to the day we can meet again in person.
