Hoosiers and Loving Day
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
"As inhuman as ever characterized the cotton fields of Georgia or the rice swamps of the Carolinas," so declared James Matthew Townsend, the second African American elected to the Indiana House of Representatives. The year was 1884, and he made the remark in reference to Indiana's racial prejudice and discrimination within its laws. Join us for this worship service wherein we will take a look at our own Indiana history as we honor Loving Day. Loving Day commemorates the US Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia (1967); this case established interracial marriage as a constitutionally protected right and made it illegal for states to enforce laws against it.
We will also hear from our 25% plate recipient candidates during the services.
Join is for a Loving Day Celebration and pitch-in lunch at 12:45 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Getting Closer...!
Current pledge total: $514,400
Many thanks to everyone who has made a pledge so far! We have based our budget for 16-17 on a pledge total of $565,000 and so we hope everyone who considers our congregation their spiritual home will make a pledge.
Help us reach our goal before the June 12 congregational meeting (when we approve the budget)!
In gratitude, The Stewardship Committee

 MAM's Minutiae
1) Sunday Sermon Follow-Up: Wow! Just for the record folks, I, Mary Ann Macklin, am not the only female associated with this congregation who had a foray into neighborhood boxing while a young girl!
2) Same Shirt Simplicity: When the same style shirt significantly reduced its price-tag, I bought four. This makes my daily decision-making regarding my weekday clothing much simpler. Simplicity is this month's theme. Do you struggle with "Decision Fatigue"? Check out these articles.
In sum: Too many decisions quickly weaken our ability to think clearly, and even be kind. Spending too much will power on the inconsequential stuff ends up damaging our ability to address the important decisions of our lives.
3) Ramadan Iftaar: Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar and the most blessed month of the year in Islam. Please join your fellow Unitarian Universalists and our Muslim friends, June 17th, 8:30pm, as we share in this period of self restraint and reflection. I will fast that day as a sign of solidarity. Join me if you choose. Call to prayer will be at 9:15pm and the meal will be served after.
4) Bloomington Faith Communities Respond to Refugees
Our Just Peace Task Force is currently housing our congregation's involvement with our interfaith response to the world's refugee crisis. The next meeting will be June 15, 2016 at 7:00pm at Congregation Beth Shalom, and will involve taking steps to create a network of interested organizations - to find more effective ways to help in the refugees' very critical situation.
"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."
---Aboriginal Activist group, Queensland, 1970's
Peace, MAM

 UU Board of Directors Update
Notice of Proposed Bylaw Change at
June 12th Congregational Meeting
The Special Purposes Fund Committee, with the endorsement of the Board of Directors, proposes the following bylaw change for a congregational vote at the June 12th Congregational meeting:
A complete copy of our current Bylaws can be found here.
Rationale: The existing wording was commonly used to express the intention of endowment management in decades long past. It fails to capture the dynamics of investment practice, such as possible investment losses, the need for occasional investment profile changes, and the possibility of short-term loans to the church. UPMIFA, as the Act referred to in the motion is commonly called, was crafted at the national level to align with prevailing responsible practice. It has been enacted by most states, including Indiana in 2007, to provided legal guidelines for the management, investment, and expenditures of charitable institution endowments.

Some Summer Simplicity?
In our story yesterday ("So Few of Me" by Peter H. Reynolds), Leo wondered "What if I did less, but did my best?" so that he would have time to dream. As summer arrives and kids are home all day, it is an especially challenging time to thoughtfully consider which pieces to put into our lives as we shuffle work schedules, child care, and summer activities. With older teens, some of those challenges are easing for my family, but the decisions are still important. Since this is our last summer with Abe before he heads off to college, I want to choose well in this precious time together as a family of four. My short list of "less":
- take family walks at McCormick's Creek State Park
- share relaxed dinners on the screened porch
- take time for conversation whenever my teenage boys are offering
What might be on your list of "less" this summer? I hope, whatever it is, it opens space for dreaming! Warm regards, Emily (Reverend Emily Manvel Leite, Minister of Religious Education)

Carter Makice's Rainbow Rights Rap
as performed in the services on June 5 by Amy Makice:
This has been a great year. We've made a lot of progress, we've done a lot of good. But we can't let the pace of the process make us complacent, Deter us from doing all that we could. Because for all the steps we've made in the right direction, Trans people can't pee without their motives questioned. And even when the law's on our side, When the ocean of court rulings reaches low tide, We'll still have hecklers at Pride. Americans will still have their rights denied. Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, You can't start em off learning singular "they" When they still think the gay can be prayed away - But hey. I'm getting carried away. Gotta reach out in love and connect somewhere, you can start this summer at our booth at the fair. *** The trainings for those wishing to work the Rainbow Rights booth at the Monroe County Fair are June 21 and 28th from 6-8:00. To sign up, please fill out this very short form: http://goo.gl/forms/D4tVFU6EOkUaIQO12 --Amy Makice, Chair of Rainbow Rights Task Force

UU History for You
Kurt Vonnegut Supported Unitarian Ideals with Morbid Satire
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. was born in Indianapolis in 1922. His great grandfather came from Germany to Indianapolis in the 1840's and sold hardware. His grandfather and father were architects. His mother was an heiress of a beer company. He was raised by a family of freethinkers (who were members at All Souls Unitarian Church, Indy).
The family wealth disappeared because of Prohibition and later the lack of new building projects during the Great Depression. He attended Cornell but dropped out and joined the army during WWII. During the Battle of the Bulge he was captured and sent to a Prisoner of War camp in Dresden and did forced labor. He survived the bombing of that city by hiding in a basement meat locker.
He joined General Electric after a year at the University of Chicago but wanted to write for a living. He and his wife moved to Cape Cod and there he spent most of his time writing short stories and short novels. His novel Slaughterhouse 5 became a bestseller. He fictionalized his war experiences and his book is a classic in antiwar literature. He became a Humanist, occasionally went to Unitarian services, and described his religion as "the church of God, the utterly indifferent."
--Elof Carlson, Designated Historian

Introducing More New Members
We had a surge of new members joining since April and have already featured several of them in the last Prologue issue. Following are more of our newest members. Be sure to welcome these wonderful folks as members when you see them -- we are so glad they have joined our community!
Nan McKinley, a native Bloomingtonian, moved back home this spring after nearly 30 years, most of which was spent in Sierra Madre, CA. She was a member of the Pasadena UU church there since 2000. Nan is a retired Nurse Practitioner with interests in Appalachian fiddle music, traditional music and dance, gardening, and camping. Travel, environmental issues, and reproductive rights are areas she plans to explore more once she's settled into her new home near Griffy Lake.
Emily Phelps grew up in central Illinois, but after seven years now calls Bloomington, IN home. She graduated from Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, IL and works as a training manager at Cook Medical. When she isn't traveling for work she spends time cooking, practicing yoga, and renovating her home (a 1930 bungalow) with her husband, Tom. Emily sings in the UU Choir and is the Vice President of the Community Kitchen Board of Directors. Thomas Phelps is a mental health counselor, social constructionist, and do-it-yourself green energy guy, looking to change the world in a meaningful and positive way. Thomas came to the Bloomington area during elementary school and went to Indiana University for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. He enjoys making music, photography, and renovating his home. Thomas is in the process of doing a several years long deep energy retrofit and full remodel of his house along with his wife, Emily.  Amira Sabbagh is a Bloomington native who moved back to town two years ago from Chicago, where she was an actor. She is thrilled to have found a spiritual home here, where she sings in the choir and recently finished up a year of mentoring for the Coming of Age program. She'll be volunteering for the Women Build Project for Habitat for Humanity, and always looks forward to the Church Bazaar in December. Amira loves to knit, and is studying acrobatics, aerials, and the violin.
Angel Smith has attended UUCB for almost five years. She has enjoyed being in RE, OWL, YUUMS, and now YRUU. She especially enjoys cons and has attended several in the past three years. Angel had a wonderful experience in the Coming of Age program with her mentor Mary Beth O'Brien. Angel is a volleyball player, musician, and a great cake decorator. John Smith says: I have been going to the UU Church for five years. I have really liked YUUMS, OWL, and the high school group. I also enjoy being a greeter for the church. I am a sophomore in high school. I like running cross country, playing music, and participating in 4-H. I'm looking forward to becoming a more active part of the congregation.

25% Sunday Plate Fund Applicants to be Voted on at
June 12 Congregational Meeting
The 25% Plate Fund applicants will present at both services on Sunday, June 12.
The vote will be taken at the congregational meeting at 4PM on June 12.
Here is background information on the two applicants for our 25% Sunday Plate Fund for July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
New Leaf - New Life
New Leaf - New Life (NLNL), a local non-profit organization, offers services to individuals during incarceration in Monroe County, and outside to former jail and prison inmates. The primary goal is to reduce recidivism by helping clients gain access to treatment, education, housing, transportation, and employment.
To those incarcerated, NLNL offers educational and therapeutic programs, the Addicts in Recovery Block (a program for a group working toward sober living), and services (birth certificates, housing and recovery treatment applications). At the Transition Center on S. Walnut, decarcerated individuals receive help in accessing social services, clothing, bus tickets, and job counseling.
Education can be a means of breaking the cycle of poverty, drug use and recidivism.
With the UU funds, NLNL will create an Education Fund to be used for inmates wishing to complete high school or enter college. The Education Fund would
--pay for the High School Equivalency and Work Keys examinations offered in or out of the jail.
-- cover the cost of tuition and books for a single course at IVY Tech as they begin or resume college work. With numerous requirements from the courts and probation, taking one course while receiving guidance from a NLNL volunteer will help insure success.
Shalom Community Center--Friend's Place Program
In the spring of 2015, Martha's House, Inc. went bankrupt. Their financial breakdown put at risk a life-saving service in our region - the only year-round, nonreligious, emergency shelter for adults experiencing homelessness in seven counties. If the shelter were to die, over 400 homeless people each year would have no place to turn to in the midst of crisis.
Shalom Community Center (SCC) stepped up to the plate and offered to take on the operation, management, and provision of social services for the shelter--now called Friend's Place. UUCB funding of Friend's Place will help in two fundamental ways.
1) Our support will help Shalom to build long-term financial sustainability for Friend's Place. Secondly, all of UUCB's support received before December 31, 2016 would count towards a $200,000 match from the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association (BUEA), in effect doubling our gift, and providing additional financial security in the years to come.
2) If SCC fully funds the match at $200,000, it will have enough funding, along with funds provided by city, township, county, and other sources, to run the shelter for four years before having to take on the full, annual costs in its operational budget.
