Hiroshima Day, Rev. Dennis McCarty on Immigration, and Green Dove News
May this find you well with peace working through your behaviors, your words and actions. Thank you.
Today is the Anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit Hiroshima. A calendar of events is on the Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki website.
Indianapolis, Indiana Hiroshima Day Observance on Fri. Aug. 6 at Earth House, 247 N. East, with a craft project for children at 7 pm (making paper cranes and Japanese lanterns) and an audio-visual presentation at 8 pm by Kyoko Amano, a University of Indianapolis professor who took students to visit the museum in Hiroshima this spring, followed at dusk by a walk around the neighborhood with Japanese lanterns, sponsored by Indianapolis Peace and Justice Center. For more info, email me at jwolfe@uindy.edu or 432-4873.
May we always remember this great harm inflicted upon our fellow earth travelers and the earth we all exist upon.
May we learn from our mistakes.
May we come to act with the understanding and realization that we never again inflict such harm upon ourselves. We will create a sustainable world community, or we all will lose. There is not middle ground.
May we not allow violence to be our ruin. Stop the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, across the Middle East, in all places on our earth. The damage inflicted upon the earth will heal in generations far off into the future. How much longer still until the damaged psyche of millions of people will be healed?

"ICH BIN EIN ILLEGAL"
This is an excerpt from A Sermon Delivered July 25, 2010, by the Reverend Dennis McCarty at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington Indiana, July 2010 and published to Green Dove.
"The great Sonoran Desert stretches from deep in Mexico to the middle of Arizona, a dun landscape dotted with 20-foot-tall saguaro cacti and scraggly sagebrush. With its mind-blurring heat, this is not a place where you want to be left behind--but people are all the time. Ranchers, county sheriffs, and the government patrols that guard the United States-Mexico border find them with grim regularity, the bodies of illegal immigrants who slipped across the border but did not survive the journey on the other side. Remains not found for weeks or months may amount to a few decaying bones. Continue reading.
