Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

In 1930 he and his mother and siblings came to the United States to live with his father in Pennsylvania. When he was eighteen he enlisted in the Army and was placed in the Army Air Force. He trained at Bolling Field, Washington D.C. and served there until he joined the glider program in 1942. He trained with gliders in Wisconsin, but was reassigned to gunnery training. He received gunnery training in Las Vegas then joined a bomber crew at Wendover Field, Utah.

His father was born in Luxemburg and immigrated to the United States in the 1880s. He was four years old and he came over with his father. Once the pair had settled, they sent for his mother and other siblings still in Germany. The family settled in Chicago. Robert’s father finished 8th grade and was in the orphanage at the time because his mother had passed away and his father couldn’t take care of him. After he finished school, he moved back in with his father and got a job in construction. He eventually opened a hardware business. Robert was ordained in 1951, and was sent to New Orleans the following year to work in the parish there and he also taught at Jesuit High School. (02:39) He was in New Orleans for eight years, from 1952 to 1960. After that, Robert entered the United States Air Force in 1960 while still in New Orleans. His brother was a Navy pilot in World War II, and he was leaning that way. After conducting some research into what chaplains did in the Army and the Navy he decided to join the Air Force instead. The Air Force was better organized as far as the chaplains were concerned. Air Force (04:00)         Once he joined he did not have to conduct any additional specialized training. Overall, he enjoyed his military service; especially the worldwide travel and he really liked all the people he met along the way. Robert was stationed in Korea at the International Airport. He was assigned to two different chapels where he would conduct mass. Robert also serviced twelve smaller outposts that had troops. He tried to visit them once a week if he could. Some of the villages would have local missionaries. When he visited the troops, he would also visit with the local priests. (06:20) He was also stationed on Crete, an island in the Mediterranean Sea. The base was a listening post with fifty to one hundred antennas placed on the beach. There was about five hundred troops and another five hundred dependents on the base that he ministered to. While there, the only other priest in the area was Greek, who did not speak much English. (08:15) One of the blessings to being on Crete was that they were able to make pilgrimages to the Holy Land twice a year. One of the Catholic priests at the base had to go with, so Robert �              was able to go twice while stationed there. It was a ten day trip and it was a wonderful experience. While in Jerusalem, he met up with one of their priests who was a student at the Bible college there. Robert found that being in the military helped him do so many things that he never would have been able to do otherwise, especially reaching people and teaching the Catholic faith. (10:27) When he first entered the military, he was considered extended active duty for 15 months. He was then extended for longer. For a time he was also detached as a reservist in New Mexico. At that point, he started asking Air Force personnel to use him more often and allow him to do more things. (12:55) After being gone for five years, he was called back to the Air Force. And his first assignment back was in Greenland. To earn a ‘good year’, he had to serve so many days in that year. From 1960 -1988 he had accumulated enough days that he had to retire at age 65. (16:42) His memories of the Air Force were of the finest people in the world. He enjoyed his work very much, especially with those that had different religions or none at all. He also liked flying on various planes, jets and helicopters. (19:24) The people were open to him as a priest and an individual. When he started on a base, he was invited into people’s homes and got to know them well. When he came to peoples homes, he would bring his laundry to be done at the families government issued washing machines. On one base, the runway was a half mile wide and a mile long. It was completely resurfaced twice a day. This was because it was close to the beach and when the tide would come in it would leave a new hard surface. (22:40) When the wind was high, planes could not land on this runway. Once, when Robert was at this base, the plane came to pick him up but could not land because of the wind. The next day, the plane returned, but the wind was stronger than the previous day. The pilot brought it in for a landing anyway and explained that he had to be picked up that day because they had an important softball game the next day and he needed to play third base. (25:04) The first baseman on the team was 6’4” and Jewish. One day after a game he asked Robert if it was ok if he called him ‘Father’ even though he wasn’t Catholic. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Advent III, December 11, 1994 Transcription of the spoken sermon I have chosen the texts and the themes for this season in the light of the course that we have followed through the fall in surveying the Biblical story of Israel. We left Israel in exile in Babylon, and I did that purposely because I knew Advent was coming. It’s a marvelous time to pick up the prophetic promises and themes that were addressed to that people in exile. Israel, Judah, in exile was in despair and in the midst of their despair where they were weeping on the banks of the rivers of Babylon, where they could not sing the Lord’s song, in the midst of that despair they received a surprising word of hope. The prophet Jeremiah sent them a letter in which he said to them, in effect, get on with your life and know that the Presence of God is not a matter of geography, but the location of God’s Presence is the heart. “And if with all your heart you truly seek me, you will surely find me,” find the Presence of God even in that situation of exile. Now, after some decades in which indeed they had settled in, there was another word from another prophet. We don’t know who he was, but his work is in Isaiah 40 to 55. This prophet’s word broke the silence and pierced the despair of this people who had given up on the covenant of grace and the promises of God, this people who had finally considered Babylon to be their home, this people who had really forgotten Jerusalem even though they had vowed never to do so. This prophet arose and spoke these words, “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people. You are going home.” This prophet who was a part of that exilic community observed the shifting of the balance of power on the international scene. This was characteristic of Hebrew prophets, for you will remember that it was Habakkuk who saw in the rise of Babylon the instrument through which judgment on Judah, God’s own people, would be brought. Now this prophet sees in the rise of another world power an instrument, not of judgment, but of grace, an instrument of liberation. Indeed, if we would go over just a few more chapters, to the 45th chapter, this is how God addresses the king of Persia, whose name is Cyrus. “Thus says the Lord to his anointed,” to Cyrus. Anointed. God’s anointed. God’s messiah. This king. © Grand Valley State University   �Going Home Richard A. Rhem Page 2   “Thus says the Lord to his anointed,” to Cyrus, “whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him.” Why will God anoint a Cyrus in Persia in order to subdue nations? Well, the fourth verse says, “For the sake of my servant Jacob and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name. I name you though you do not know me.” You see, it was the conviction of the prophets in Israel’s tradition that God was a major player on the scene of history. It was the conviction of these prophets that the decisions were not made in smoke-filled cloakrooms, but rather that God was the invisible player, a major player of the dreams of history. So now we have a prophet bringing comfort, announcing liberation, saying to Judah, “You’re going to go home.” He didn’t immediately respond to the message. As a matter of fact, he resisted the message. He heard a voice that said, “Cry,” or as Martin Luther has translated it perhaps more effectively, he heard a voice that said, “Preach.” And he said, “Preach, why should I preach? The grass withers. The flower fades. Why should I preach?” The word comes back, “Preach. For it is true the grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” So this prophet in the dialogue heard the call and was confirmed in his conviction that the word of God after all was a liberating, saving word, and he announced that word in the midst of his people in exile. He said to them in effect, “Be comforted. You are forgiven. You are going home. Announce to the cities of Judah, behold your God.” They went home. They went home and the prophet’s word was confirmed. But it never lived up to the glorious image that he had set. They went home, a remnant. Oh, there was another temple, but it lacked the glory of the former temple. They rebuilt the walls, but that community was nothing more than a worshiping, waiting community in poverty and often in sorry straits. Yet, they went home. The prophet believed that God would bring God’s people home. His vision, his dream was a dream of a fulfillment and the consummation of the whole historical drama that would issue in that messianic kingdom, that kingdom of shalom where lion and lamb would lie down together, and where they would not hurt in all God’s holy mountain. It was a prophetic conviction that God is a major player in history. Do you believe that? For some nineteen hundred years the Jews in dispersion after 70 AD celebrated their Passover wherever they were and in the liturgy there were the words, “Next year in Jerusalem.” Rabbi David Hartman of Jerusalem says that, after nineteen hundred years, today they celebrate Passover in Jerusalem. Do you think that that has anything to do with God’s involvement in the drama of history? Did Habakkuk see behind Babylon’s rise the judgment of God? Did the prophet of this morning’s lessons see, behind the rise of Cyrus, God’s engagement? I suppose we © Grand Valley State University �Going Home Richard A. Rhem Page 3   could talk about that all day and not solve it, but that really is not the question of this Advent Sunday. The question that I would rather focus you on is this. Is it possible within history to be at home? Is it possible in the midst of our human experience, in the stream of history, is it possible to be home? Maybe Israel’s best gift to the world is the possibility of being home in history. If you read the Hebrew Scriptures there’s not much about anything beyond. There’s not anything about heaven. There’s not any discussion of life after death. Maybe Israel’s best gift to the world was the call to celebrate here and now. Israel delights in life—celebrates life. I think that it has a real gift to give us in calling us not to miss this life, to enjoy God in the land of the living. The Christian emphasis, in contrast, that has put the focus on heaven, that has been somewhat other worldly, has often removed from us the valuing of this life, and not enabled us to celebrate this life, I think, as perhaps God the creator of all would have us celebrate it. Israel celebrates God in this present life. History within history. Yet, I wonder if it’s enough? Bertrand Russell the English philosopher and avowed atheist writes this, “Brief and powerless is man’s life. On him and all his race the slow, sure doom sinks pitiless and dark, blind to good and evil. Omnipotent matter rolls on its relentless way, for man condemned today to lose his dearest, tomorrow himself to pass through the gates of darkness. It remains only to cherish ere yet the blow falls the lofty thoughts that ennoble his little day.” Sounds almost like the pessimism of the prophet who said, “All flesh is grass. The grass withers, the flower fades.” Bertrand Russell says, I may lose the love of my life unless for me the bell tolls first. That being the reality of our human situation, is it enough? Can one be home within history? It wasn’t enough for the people in Thessalonica. Paul had gone there preaching the Gospel. He preached a crucified, risen, ascended, reigning, coming Lord. And he preached it with such urgency and he pointed to the imminence of that return with such power that the people in Thessalonica began to expect that any moment the heavens would open and the clouds would be illumined and the Lord of Glory would appear. Then someone lost the love of her life. Then someone received the death sentence and they began to wonder, if I should die before the clouds sparkle with the appearing Lord, will I miss out on it all? Paul wrote to them to say, “No. We who are alive at the coming of the Lord won’t have an advantage over those who have died. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so those who fall asleep in Jesus, God will bring with him. So I write these things to you that you sorrow not as those who have no hope. I write these things to you; comfort one another with these words.” Paul’s pastoral concern for this people was to assure them that the entrance of death before the advent of the end did not mean that one would miss the party. He went on to describe the scenario of the end. Archangels, trumpets, clouds. And it didn’t happen. © Grand Valley State University �Going Home Richard A. Rhem Page 4   The messianic kingdom hasn’t come either. As I observe our history in our day it doesn’t seem that we are any closer to seeing the lion and the lamb lying down together than when the prophet dreamed the dream. And when I read Paul’s dramatic presentation of the end event and realize that it’s two thousand years later, frankly, I’m not going to hold my breath. Interesting, isn’t it, that both the prophet and the apostle had this intuitive sense of some kind of completion? But the images in which they set it forth, the symbols with which they presented it, the pictures that they painted in both cases—they haven’t come to be. They may still, and yet I wonder if perhaps the prophet’s dream and the apostle’s vision are not rather pictures of an intuitive conviction and truth that within history no one can finally be home. Oh, to be sure, the prophet’s dream had the culmination within history. The apostle, who was nurtured on that dream, had a vision of a culmination beyond history’s end. But, never mind. Both of them had to believe. In the case of the Hebrew prophet, the end could not be the chaos of history, but rather its resolution. And in the case of the apostle, the end could not be a gaping grave, but a meeting with God the Lord, the presence of God’s people with God everlastingly. Both the prophet and the apostle were simply wrong in the portrait that they drew or painted. So what? How would you have drawn it? They were stumbling, stammering humans trying to give some expression to something that was deep within them, that the end could not be history’s chaos nor the cold and open grave, but rather that there was yet something, something more. You see it seems to me that both the prophet and the apostle had that deep sense that yes. . . yes, the grass withers and the flower fades, yes . . . human life ends with history still in chaos and those who have loved experiencing loss, but there must be something more. I think both the prophet and the apostle, and I think probably you and I as well, know that God has made us such that we will always, always break down those end points. We will not be satisfied. There is something insatiable within the human mind and within the human heart. Within the human being there’s something that will not be satisfied until finally there is an expansiveness that we have not yet dreamed of. There is something in us that says there are places I have not yet gone, there are words I have not spoken, there are loves I have not yet expressed. There is not the possibility in the brief span of this historical existence to satisfy all of that that is within me. I’ll never, never, never rest with the contingency of history’s whirlpool. I will believe, I will hope that beyond somewhere, someway, sometime all of this that is in me that yearns for expression, for expansiveness, for eternity will be satisfied. Probably not with lions and lambs lying down together. Probably not as the issue of some flaming deity from heaven. But there must be something more. For down deep within us, when surrounded with the blackness of the darkest night, Oh how lonely death can be. At the end of this long tunnel there shines a light where death is swallowed up in victory. Can you imagine stepping on shore and finding it heaven? Of touching a hand and finding it God’s? Of breathing new air and finding it celestial? Of waking up in glory and finding you’re home . . . finally home? © Grand Valley State University � https://digitalcollections.library.gvsu.edu/files/original/f5dd3e967c8f36104f7ce83aa4a2cc68.mp3 4be04070436fd41993994f6c0dc26761 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

(00:00:37:00)  Goins’ father was a contractor and also did some trucking with the heavy- duty vehicles he owned. (00:02:15:00)  Goins was the 4th of 13 children in and African- American family. (00:02:54:00) o Goins had to quit school in the 8th grade to help manage his family. None of his siblings were able to finish high school. (00:02:58:00)  In the 1930’s, Goins moved to Zanesville, Ohio and began marketing produce. (00:03:30:00) o Some of his older siblings got involved in the same business in Columbus, Ohio. (00:03:50:00) o He worked “a majority of the time”. (00:06:10:00) o He was in charge of selling the produce to customers and received the product from southern farmers. Goins drove south himself to retrieve the items with one or more other workers. (00:07:27:00) o Regardless of the racial tension of the time period, Goins was not treated differently between white and black farmers due to the color of his skin and the stigma that came with it. (00:09:10:00) o Goins traveled to Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina to purchase produce. (00:11:30:00)  Before Goins entered the service, he also worked at a car dealership as a mechanic. (00:12:07:00)  Goins heard about the attacks on Pearl Harbor “through the grape vine” on the Sunday that it occurred: December 7th, 1941. (00:12:47:00) Military Experience (00:13:40:00)  Goins received his draft notice in 1942, but did not actually enter until 1943. (00:13:49:00)  Goins was sent to Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indiana in 1943. (00:14:20:00) o Goins was given “guard duty”, which involved patrolling the base after training. o While in Indiana, he was taught how to handle the weapons he would be required to carry, such as the M43. (00:16:39:00) o Goins recalls that if one misbehaved, he was assigned to “KP Duty”, or kitchen patrol. For more severe cases of disobedience, one was “court martialed”. (00:17:45:00)  After boot camp in Indiana, Goins was sent first to Tampa, Florida. At this point in time, he was married. (00:19:00:00) �           o His wife eventually joined him in Florida where she lived in a hotel. Goins was permitted to live with her in the hotel, off- base, and return to base during his required hours. (00:20:00:00) Goins moved around quite a bit while in the service. He traveled to Tampa, Tallahassee, and Venice while in Florida. He was also stationed in Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. (00:21:35:00) Goins, being black, was not always given the position of his choice because of “the color of my skin”. (00:24:00:00) Goins’ primary unit was a mixed, transportation battalion and traveled together as it was relocated. (00:27:20:00) Goins dealt primarily on B-29 bombers when he worked as a mechanic. (00:29:25:00) o Goins notes that the repairs he made “practically rebuilt the entire side” of the plane at times. (00:29:40:00) o Goins learned most of what was involved in a mechanics work during basic training. He received no specialized training. (00:32:00:00) Goins’ highest rank achieved was sergeant, although he was eligible for officer training. (00:32:20:00) o African Americans and whites alike were receiving opportunities to advance in rank, according to Goins. (00:34:08:00) o Goins opted out of furthering his rank because he wanted to get out of the Army as quickly as possible. (00:34:27:00) Goins traveled by bus or train alongside his wife when he was reassigned to various locations about the country. (00:35:30:00) o Sometimes he and his wife were only given a few days’ notice before relocation. (00:36:40:00) As Goins increased his rank, he also took on new duties such as managing relocations from one base to another. Since he was black, he was placed in charge of only black troops. (00:39:18:00) o During these moves, black and white soldiers were separated in train cars. (00:39:40:00) o Goins was in charge of this task for a whole summer during his service. (00:40:12:00) o Goins had to be especially cautious of “lynchers” during the trips through the South. Black folk, like Goins, had to be readily aware of the racially charged atmosphere of the South and the probability of hate crimes aimed at those of African American descent. His brother came very close to assassination while on a trip in Mississippi. (00:40:40:00) During his time in the Army, Goins “grew up to be a man”. (00:43:10:00) Goins was happy to be stationed in the United States because he did not want to be sent abroad to fight. (00:43:49:00) Goins had 3 brothers and 1 brother-in-law that were in the service at the same time as he. (00:44:10:00) o One of them received a purple heart, and is since deceased. (00:44:47:00) As a sergeant, Goins essentially took the responsibilities of the officers as they moved between bases and consequently, were not always present. This earned Goins added respect from his comrades. (00:48:50:20:00) � After the war, Goins and his wife returned to Ohio for 6-8 months. (00:50:17:00) o Later, they moved back to Michigan for better work.

In these days when chenge and confusion are rife throughout the world, it is heartening to find a people whose devotion to the ancient faith of their father~ re1naine unaltered throt141h the centuries, If every A~erican pledged the sama steadfast allegiance to the principles of liberty t.nd freedom upon which our great democracy ie founded, the future security and welfare of the United States would be assured. During the fifty years since Congregation l3 1l1ai Israel was established, it has not only served its mcmber3 well but has contributed in no slllall measure to the commu.nity life of the City of Muskegon. It ie my earnest hope that in the years to col:18, as in the paet, Congregation l3 1Nai Israel will continue steadi ly to grow and prosper. Sincerely, c~~~ GOVERNOR • �• • I �..

No, people had no faith In either Herzl or h.is plan. But Henl, the true lnnntlc, the real active idealist. did not ,urrender. He apoke. He worked. He sacrificed Li. lire. He touched with his sincerity, though only a few at the hcvinn!ng, but his work went on oncl lived on. Since Herzl, many Le'ro..,. rose to their feet to take his p(a~e. Many !Ike him qave their !iv., becatl4e they reali1ed thot Herzl was right. II they were not convinced by Hen!, they were more deeply convinced by hi,tory. lho tra~lc hi•tory of the lo1t decnde.

For in lhe library of Rahbl Cohen's home. or in lhe Hackley Li. brory. is where our friend spenl a (/Teat deal of his lime. In lus Sunday School work, the children from the little lob lo the confirmation doss. oil loved their Rabbi and were proud to have him tolk to them. If only for a few minutes. His love for the children was •incere, which began with his own ,on who. in hio way ol thinking, wn, a gilt from God. Hec«I, Hen.el was married, and In the course of lime was hleued with a dauahter. No prouder Grandparent ever lived, Rabbi Cohen told lhe wo,fd he now must be treoled with more respc<:t. He wos a Grandfather. He was very humble. and well do l remember when he wa, a guest speaker at M,tskgon Hl11h School. Refre,hmenl• were served ofter his t;,Jk. "How different ii 1$ In Ru,slo," be said. "11..ere a large loaf ol rye bread must la&t n famlly for two weeks. It is unheard of to offer a friend a aandwlch, for if you dtd, you would flO hungry. What a blessed country thla 1$. How wonderful are Its people." A, I became better acquninled with him, I grew more fond of Rabbi Cohen Md realized that lhrough clrcumstancu I wa, being bl.,,ed with o beautiful lr1end,h1p and a rare charocter. Rabbi Cohen cnmc to Mu,kegon in Mny. 1937 to serve lhe Jewish Congregation and here he spent the remainder of hi, life. He was po5<essed will. a breadth of vl•lon and a bnck11round of eduutlon. trovd, and experience. He freely gave of hi• services to civic as well as to religiou, nITnirs. H"- recognized. ond accepled responsibility of community service. He was poss«secl with a great sense of humor. He wu the type of clti>.cn to be valued in any city, eapecially tbrou11h lryihg lime,, when 10ne leaderahip was so ur11ently needed. \,Vhen the Jew was persecuted In Germany. he could not eat he felt so badly. When he spoke nt an American Legion meeting before we entered the Second World War. he told hio audience 1he Jew of Muskegon will do his duty when called on. nnd how right he wa,, witb 60 to 75 families, over 44 Jewish boy• from Muskegon acrved in the Second World War. In our ,cvcral tnllu together. I a.sked Rabbi Cohen why he didn't go to a larger community where they could nfford to pay him a higher salary, aa he well deserved lor hi• ability. He replied, .. , was n Rabbi in Chicago. hut I like a smaller community like Mu•kegqn. Here I lmow them all. I can call them Sam. Harry. and Leo. In a lar~•r community l am n•ked to marry people I never anw before and probnbly never will s« again, ancl eulogize tho dead whom I never knew.'' Money did not ba,·e n high value in Rabbi Cohen'• hfe. 11,e privilege of knowing R!lbb! Cohen wa, mine and your,. He made a bette, community or Muakeeon during hio life here wrth U$, His name will always be insctibecl In our heurts. Whrle our Good Lord Blessed thlo congregotlon with the fruit of lu, lnbor, like Mo••• who never entered the Promised Land, 10 God took our Rahhi lo hta borne on high. wnhout him hein~ able to &ee 1hu ma11nlficent Temple.
