Minister's Musings
Dear Congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa:
For those of you who were not present at the Sunday service on April 7th, the following is the announcement I made of my plan to retire at the end of August:
"Before you rise for the closing hymn, I have a personal announcement. On my sabbatical trip abroad, I noticed my heart was behaving erratically and it didn't stop behaving that way when I got back on February 22. I now have a cardiologist. He isn't sure yet how serious it is. I've been wearing a heart monitor for several weeks now, while he tries to figure it out. In the meantime, I talked it over with our Executive Board and a few days ago, I decided to resign at the end of August. I'll be with you for another 5 months - April, May, June, July, and August, and then retire effective at the end of August.
For a few days the Board has been aware of my resignation at the end of August and because they are a most efficient and well organized Board, they have already spoken with Kenn Hurto, our contact at the UUA District and UUA Southern Region. I appreciate the Board's understanding and decisive action. The Board has already organized an interim search committee and hopes to have an interim minister start in September. The Board has this situation well in hand.
I have mixed emotions about retiring at the end of August - I think we have been good for each other since I came here in 2007, and I would like to continue our relationship. My intention was not to retire this year, but at the earliest in 2014. On the other hand, I will be 73 in July. With a few breaks in employment to take care of my daughter when she was young, I have been mostly employed since 1956 when I went to work part time for an auto supply store after school. That's 57 years of employment. It's time for me to take it easy - that's probably what my heart is telling me.
We'll be seeing each other for another few months, so this is not goodbye. I wish you all an enjoyable Sunday afternoon."
Peace and Love,
Sara
Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman, Minister

 Plan to be in Church.... ...Sunday, May 5th for a visit and sermon from Gini Courter, Moderator, Unitarian Universalist Association. Gini has been chief governance officer of our Association since October 2003, and been reelected three times by the UUA General Assembly delegates, most recently in June 2009. She chairs the UUA Board of Trustees and conducts the business (also known as plenary) sessions at General Assemblies. In addition to traveling the country meeting with congregations, Gini meets with national and regional groups. Not only is she an amazing leader, she is a dynamic speaker and author of many books relating to her work in the training and consulting company she co-owns. Gini, when she is at home, lives in Michigan. Before becoming Moderator, she served on the UUA Board of Trustees for eight years; her Moderator term ends in June at the close of General Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky. |
 From the Desk of the President
by Mary Francis
To quote Francois de la Rochefoucauld, "The only thing constant in life is change."
We are more than half way through our 'program year' and it is time for the election of three BOT members at our May Congregational meeting - see their bios below. On September 1st, our 2013-2014 Program Year, not only will we have a dynamic new Board, we will have a new interim minister.
So how is the interim minister search going? Our Interim task force--John Powers, Ara Rogers, and Diana Stevens--has already submitted our application and compiled our church package for candidate review.
During the "1st Round" which is at the end of April, assuming we have interested candidates, the task force will review resumes, and hold Skype interviews. If an offer is made, our search will be complete. If not, there will be another round. There will be updates at Conversations with the Board, on the last Sunday of each month, and the upcoming Congregational meeting.
So, a lot is going on and the pace is picking up quickly. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to contact me at president@uutampa.org.
Blessings, Mary

Meet the Candidates for the Board of Trustees
The Leadership/Nominating Committee, consisting of Diane Gainforth, Russell Patterson, Russell Kirby and Ed Benedict, is pleased to announce that four members of our congregation have agreed to run for the three available positions on our Board of Trustees (BOT) at the May 5, 2013, Congregational Meeting. These candidates are: Marla Frazer, Jodi Pecoraro, John Powers, and Chuck Smith. To better acquaint you with these candidates, each has prepared a biographical sketch, which identifies their experience in the church, as well and their qualifications and strengths. These sketches are offered below.
 Marla Frazer
I was raised a UU and have attended UU churches and fellowships everywhere I have lived. When I moved to Zephyrhills in 1981, and then to Tampa in 1983, I began attending UUCT when the small dome was our only home. I didn't really feel like a part of the church community until I began participating in church activities. Once I made friends here, this community has become a central part of my life. I have lived in places with strong intolerance for my UU beliefs, and I feel it is so important to build our community to remain a place where people from different paths can find acceptance and freedom of thought. Since joining the church almost 30 years ago, I have served on the Building Construction committee which built the big dome, a Ministerial Search committee, the Buildings and Grounds committee, and the New Building Parking development committee. I have also taught RE, attended CONS with the teens, and tried to help out any time I'm asked.
I am interested in serving on the BOT because I wish to be a part of the core of people striving to move forward with the strengthening and growth of our community. During the next few years we will have a wonderful opportunity to once again reevaluate ourselves and search for a new minister to join our community. I bring to the Board some historical perspective on our church community, financial skills, a creative spirit, and no fear about expressing my opinions. As far as weaknesses, I've been told I'm sometimes too vocal, overly enthusiastic, and like many I struggle to find the time to do all I need to do. I have served on the board for the past 3 years, and I promise to work hard for the next 3, if re-elected.
 Jodi Pecoraro
I have been a member of the UUCT since Nov. 20, 2011. My parents had attended the UUCT for a short time in the early 1980's. On their suggestion, my husband and I were married by Rev. Mike Young in 1982. After, lo, these many years of life, I found myself seeking a place where I could explore my own spirituality and need for reasoned discourse on what it means to be a good person in today's society. UUCT is one place that fulfills my many needs, including social interaction with people of commitment and open minds.
I was recruited by the Nominating Committee to serve on the Board of Trustees, and if there is a need for my volunteer services, I will serve. It is an honor to be considered for the position. I think the most pressing issues facing UUCT is maintaining/sustaining/GROWING our congregation. However, after today's announcement by Dr. Rev. Sara, it may be that finding a new minister is the most pressing issue. In our church, I have served as the head of the Aesthetics Committee, and am cooperating with other committees in meeting their "aesthetic" needs.
I am a Counselor by education (Master's Degree), a teacher by profession (Bachelor's in English/Elementary Ed), and a volunteer by choice. I am an experienced volunteer trainer for adults in amateur radio through the Hillsborough County Amateur Radio Emergency Service/ Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, and a seasoned volunteer and executive committee member. I have been a volunteer since I was 13 years old (candy striper in an area nursing home). I am committed to helping my community.
I have many years of experience working as a volunteer in a leadership role for the Greater Tampa Community Emergency Preparedness Training Team (GT CERT), the Tampa Amateur Radio Club (TARC), and for Hillsborough County ARES/RACES. I believe that I am a strong idea generator, strong in analysis, and VERY strong in mediating (educated as a counselor). I am weak in organization. I am good at research, but better at analysis. I would not make a good treasurer.
I have served as an executive officer (Secretary for TARC), and a Board Member at large for TARC; as Vice President for GT CERT (currently hold this position); and Training Officer for Hillsborough County ARES/RACES
I believe that it's very important to financially support the church! Without the financial support of the congregation, the church will cease to exist! It is basic logic to support our spiritual home! I believe that I have the time and energy to fulfill a commitment to the BOT. I may have some occasional conflicts with my time, but I will fully commit to the position, should I be elected. If called upon, I would serve as a Board Officer...though I'd prefer to avoid the Treasurer. I will continue in my role as Aesthetics Chairman.
 John Powers
My family and I have been members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa (UUCT) since the fall of 2009. We were trying to find a church that shared our views on spirituality, was child-friendly and open to all faiths. We found it in the UUCT. In our time here we have obtained new roles in our growing community. Erin, my wife, has worked as a Religious Education (RE) teacher, became part of the RE Board and is now the newly hired Director of Religious Education. I, too, have gained roles as a member of the Worship Associate team, the Worship Program Committee, serving as an Unofficial member of the RE Board and being a teacher in RE. I now feel that I could bring a new view to the Board of Trustees, being a more recent addition to the church and a father of three school aged children. I know the most pressing issue to the Board of Trustees is the enlistment of a new minister, at this time, and the growth of an expanding church, but a current concern coincides with the membership of new youth, young adults and families. I know we can reach out to these groups more in the area and we have not. Although, I have not worked directly on a board or policy governing board I have worked in collaboration with multiple groups of individuals in my work and understand well how to keep a flourishing, and productive group together on a task. I think the strengths that I could bring to this role are my excellent researching skills, being a conscious listener in a group and my technological skills. Of course, with all strengths come weaknesses and my biggest weakness can be my opinion, I have one and I usually want it heard in a group setting. With all of this being said; although, I have three children and a modestly demanding job, at least sometimes, I can and will fulfill the duties of an Officer or Trustee to my fullest.
Chuck Smith
I have been a member of the UUCT for 1 ½ years; prior to that, I was a member of the UUC of the Lehigh Valley (PA) for 33 years. I am a retired Professor of Mechanical Engineering, teaching at Purdue and Lehigh Universities for a total of 40 years. I presently live in Lutz, Florida.
I am interested in serving on the UUCT Board of Trustees, since I feel it is every member's obligation to provide service to the church, and I have the time, interest, and experience as a board member at our previous UU church. I think the most pressing issues facing the board are assuring that the church facilities are well maintained, we have excellent Sunday programs, we provide support for social equality programs, and we maintain a budget to support these needs. I think that the most pressing issue facing the UUCT is attracting new members to the church, who can help both expand the size of the congregation and support of a continuing liberal presence in the Tampa area.
At our previous UU church, I served on the Board of Trustees (3 years), Chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee (2 Years), and Chair of the Long Range Planning Committee (3 years). Skills I would bring to the Board of Trustees are board/committee experience, technical and planning expertise, and attention to detail. My strengths in a group setting are an ability to plan, organize, and follow through; my weaknesses are that I am generally quiet and introspective.
I feel that all church members should contribute to the church, both monetarily and through service, as best they can afford. I personally have the time and energy to responsibly fulfill a commitment as a Trustee/Officer, and would consider serving as a Board Officer at some point. And if I am not elected to the Board of Trustees, I would consider serving in a leadership role in either planning or buildings and grounds. |
R.E.flections
Erin Powers, DRE
Unitarian Universalism allows us and our children to freely explore other faith traditions. I find that instead of threatening my beliefs and my faith, it actually expands my spirituality. Learning about other faith traditions strengthens our own. Feeling the awe and wonder and that 'god' feeling, the profound love, while experiencing other faith rituals deepens our own faith. Knowing that other people in other faiths and other lands feel the same things we do at times, makes the distance between us shorter and shorter. Until there is no distance between us at all. Until we are one, together.
Summer will be here soon! Our summer Religious Exploration program will start June 9th. Each Sunday we will have a special guest to share a talent or passion. Books, yoga, music, medicine wheels and more! Do you have a talent you'd like to share with the children and youth? Email dre@uutampa.org

 UUA Trustee Tidbits by Joan Lund
jlund@uua.org or 813-931-9727 For as long as I have been involved in UUism beyond my home congregation I have believed , to be effective, our social justice work should be linked with other faith groups working on similar or the same mandates. The Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) is one such partnership of faith-based organizations committed to enacting fair and humane immigration reform. Coalition members work together on reforms that reflect our belief in welcoming everyone and treating all human beings with dignity and respect. Members of the coalition work together to advocate for just and equitable immigration policies, educate faith communities, and serve immigrant populations around the country.
Breaking Bread and Building Bridges (BBBB) is part of a larger strategy to make known faith communities voices at our local level through events such as potlucks, vigils, and detention visitations to connect with those most directly affected by unjust immigration policies. The goal of the BBBB is "to create and strengthen relationships of solidarity among people of faith, impacted communities, and immigrants' rights groups to effectively organize and advocate for just immigration policies. There is a resources toolkit available to congregations to assist in engaging in such activities, depending on the type of campaign the individual congregation wishes to create."
Eat, meet, and organize for immigrants' rights by forming a planning committee and meeting with leaders in the congregation and reaching out to other congregations and human rights groups inviting them to attend an event. At this event attendees can share family migration stories and listen to the stories of others, while identifying common values and goals. Strategies with action plans which make the most sense in your region and community can be mapped out for working towards immigrants' rights. For example: working toward the passage of pro-immigrant bills like the DREAM Act.
It is never too late to organize in your congregation with other local faith groups in the campaign to strengthen the movement for just and humane immigration reform. There is much information available for your congregation on our UUA web site, and linking to Interfaith Immigration Coalition. On a personal note: I look forward to being with many of you in Louisville, KY at General Assembly, my last as your UUA Trustee. I can be reached at jlund@uua.org or 813-931-9727. |
 Circles in the Woods CUUPS
Circles in the Woods CUUPS sponsors a monthly Full Moon Celebration on Saturdays closest to the full moon. Our very own Wicca 101 attendees will lead the celebration on May 25th @ 7:30. During planning and discussion, our students dug deep into some dusty old places and decided to revive an old favorite - the celebration of the Sun and the meaning of the sun sign that each of us was born under. So, come and learn a little more about our sun signs, who else in the community was born under your sign, and, maybe why, that other person sometimes acts the way they do. Tye dye clothing would be very appropriate!
All Circles in the Woods CUUPS activities are open to the public and held at UUCT. The only cost is a donation. Families with children are welcome. No pets please. Plan to stay to socialize afterwards. (Bring a dish to share.) All are welcome who come in perfect love and perfect trust. For more information about Circles in the Woods CUUPS, e-mail cuups@uutampa.org. |

 Good Book
Hi, Book Readers:
Here's our offering for the month of May. We'd love to hear from others of you.
From Rev Sara Zimmerman: On my 50-day trip around the world in January and February, I had a dozen books loaded on my e-reader: travel, fiction and non-fiction. During many of the plane and train miles logged, I found myself turning most often to just two books and alternated between them. When Carol asked me to recommend a book this month, I could not decide which one, so with her permission, here is information about both:
A non-fiction book by Nobel Prize winner, Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk: Other Colors: Essays and a Story. Originally, I bought it as a special kind of travel book with the idea that might help prepare me for visiting Istanbul. Now that I am back, I return to the book often for inspiration in my own writing.
Neurologists Andrew Newberg and Mark Waldman's book: How God Changes Your Brain. I have found this to be a most valuable resource in my project "Spirituality, Science and Healing." Recently I discovered that Oprah was way ahead of me in making it a reader's choice for 2012. You can see a video of Dr. Newberg discussing the book on Book TV.
Read ahead: I also recommend Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Justice. Raymond Arsenault is the author of this prize-winning book; he's a USF-St. Pete professor. I am pleased that he has accepted our invitation to speak during a Sunday service and we have set the date: June 2.
Harriet Blymiller: I recommend The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama. This novel has an unusual perspective, for our culture anyway, told though the voice of a Chinese college student diagnosed with tuberculosis in the late 1930s. He is sent by his well-off family to recuperate at the family's beach house near a small village in Japan. With a deeply spiritual tone, the author depicts him as isolated there, but growing up in several ways--through encounters with severe illness other than tuberculosis, with fallout from Japan's invasion of China, with love, devotion, and duty as enacted by several ordinary and remarkable people.
Gwen Anderson: My recommendation is Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen. Dinesen is a magic storyteller in this novel about her years in Kenya (1914 to 1931) while running a coffee plantation. I would also like to recommend Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain which describes Twain's love of the river and the people who live there.
For a change of pace, we'll be looking for recommendations of good movies, either current, classics or otherwise. These will show up in the summer months' columns. Let's hear from the movie buffs.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and happy reading!
Carol Baker, Editor

Emerson Forum Planning Free Film Event And Second Fall Conference
The Emerson Forum is planning a free public screening of a celebrated, national, documentary film involving end of life care decisions, as part of its focus on "issues at the crossroads of ethics and public policy." Once final details are worked out with the producers, the film will be shown at UUCT this summer. Mark your calendars for the second annual Emerson Forum conference, which will be held the morning of Saturday, September 7th. Dr. Dani McVety, the founder of Lap of Love, a nationwide hospice program for pets, will be the keynote speaker on "What We Can Learn About Ourselves From the Death of A Pet." Further details will be available this summer.

 Letter to the Editors
A complaint came into the office about the April Domelight: "The George Carlin quote below is unacceptable." The quote was: In recognition of Earth Day: Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain, For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.
~George Carlin The editor's discussed this quote before the Domelight was sent. One was concerned that someone may find it offensive. Another thought we needed more humor. Both were correct. We apologize for offending anyone and we are grateful to know our readers do go to the end of the newsletter. However, since this is the May issue, Happy Birthday, George! May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008. George was an American comedian who won five Grammys and was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5-4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves. |
"One day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake!"
The Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"
The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."
The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself." |

An Intergenerational Service
May 19 Questing and Seeking: Spiritual Reflections of a Florida Writer: Zora Neale Hurston
In her 1942 autobiography, African-American Harlem Renaissance writer Hurston comments on her childhood as a preacher's kid: "You wouldn't think that a person who was born with God in the house would ever have any questions to ask on the subject. But as early as I can remember, I was questing and seeking. It was not that I did not hear." Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman tells the story of Hurston's rescue from oblivion by Alice Walker and Hurston's spiritual evolution.
May 26 Memorial Day -- Honoring All Who Have Served
In the pulpit will be Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman and a number of the congregation who have served in the Armed Forces. Veterans will be honored and Rev. Z will speak and reflect on "Just War" Theory.
