Last year over 20,000 spectators attended. Moving the site of the Pow Wow to the Riverbend Pavillion was positive as it is a much better site for such a cultural event. This year's Pow Wow is dedicated to all those who have followed the Pow Wow trail and who now walk in the Spirit world. Last year at the close of the Pow Wow, Mr. Raymond Ramos suffered a fatal heart attack. He and his family had spent the weekend with us. Mr. Ramos will be honored at 2:30 pm on Saturday with the planting of a cedar tree in his honor. We are glad that you are part of the circle here today. MEGWETCH! The 1993 Pow Wow Committee 3 �POW WOW ETIQUETTE Everyone is welcome at Pow Wows; however, it is important to realize that the dances are ceremonial as well as social events and should be observed with respect. 1. During Grand Entry, Flag Songs, and Honor Songs, please stand, remove hats, and refrain from taking photographs. 2. Eagle feathers are especially sacred to the American Indians. If an eagle feather falls from a dancer's regalia, a special ceremony will take place to retrieve it. When an eagle feather is being retrieved from the dance circle, please refrain from taking photographs. 3. Always ask permission before taking photographs of dancers when they are outside the dance circle. Also, please ask permission before taking photos of drummers and their drums. 4. The East entrance of the dance circle is reserved for dancers. Spectators are asked to refrain from congregating in this area. 5. The dance arena is for participants only. The arena is blessed prior to the event. In this respect, we ask spectators to consider this sacred ground for the duration of the pow wow. You may be invited to enter the dance arena during the Inter-Tribal or Honor Dances. 6. The dancers' clothing is called regalia, dance clothes, or dance outfit, not "costumes." 7. The chairs immediately surrounding the dance circle are for elders, dancers and their families only. 8. If you have a question, ask a member of the Pow Wow committee, designated by the red ribbons attached to their button. 4 �POWWOW HISTORY The Pow Wow has historical, spiritual, and social value to American Indian people. In addition to participating in the traditional dance and song, the people visit with family and friends, and make new acquaintances. Often it brings together families who may live apart throughout the year. It is also a chance to demonstrate and display artistic ability with the many arts and crafts common to the Indian people. Pow Wows are more than social events. They are a time of learning and carrying on a rich cultural heritage. The Pow Wow has also become a means of providing an opportunity for cultural sharing with non-Indian people. There is a spiritual significance in the dances, songs, customs observed, and even in the preparations for the event. The Pow Wow provides an opportunity for our young to learn from our elders and carry on traditions. In Michigan alone, numerous Pow Wows are hosted by Indian groups and communities throughout the year. Modern transportation has made it easier to travel from place to place for these events. This has established intertribal friendships throughout the Great Lakes. An important duty prior to the gathering is blessing the grounds where the event will be held. This is to insure that only good thoughts will occur there, and everyone will have a good time. Once the ground is blessed it is considered sacred, and everyone is asked to keep it as clean as possible. No drugs or alcohol are allowed on the Pow Wow grounds. Morning prayers are offered at a sunrise service the morning of the event. Traditional or Contest? There are two types of Pow Wows. The contest or competition Pow Wow is one in which there are cash prizes offered for dancing. The dance contest is judged according to certain criteria, with prizes awarded to dancers who demonstrate the best ability in his/her particular style. There are categories for different ages and styles of dance. Traditional Pow Wows, such as ours, offer no competition dancing. These events offer a variety of dances for the participants, and often include strictly-forfun dances such as the two-step. This weekend, we will be celebrating a naming ceremony for a small child, and a tree-planting ceremony for someone who has passed into the spirit world. 5 �The Drums & Their Songs The drum not only sets the tempo of songs and dances at a Pow Wow, it is a very important symbol to Indian people. The sound represents the heartbeat of our people, our Mother Earth and our nations. The drums' circular shape represents the unity the Indian people and our oneness with the universe. The traditional hide drum is made by stretching a hide over a wood frame and lacing the two sides together. The singers are able to control the pitch of the drum by warming the hide near a small fire or in the sun. Another commonly used drum is the bass drum. All drums are treated with respect. Our elders say that when songs are sung with these drums they are heard by the spirit world. Each drum has a lead singer who leads off the songs in his language. Each song has a special meaning or story to the person who carries that song with them. Some songs are very old, some are newly composed. While many of them are of a serious nature, such as the veterans' song and honor song, some are humorous and meant to cause a smile, and help us to not take life so seriously. Singers are expected to know a song for every type of dance. Songs are carried by the singers in their memories and not written down. You will often see a young boy sitting at the drum; this is when training begins for learning and remembering songs. Among Great Lakes Indians, women do not sit at the drum, but they do sing with the drummers, Joining them in certain songs. Notice that the Pow Wow grounds are arranged in a series of circles: the drums, the drummers, the singers, the dancers, the dance area, and the traders. The circle is a sacred symbol in our Indian ways. I 6 �HEAD PARTICIPANTS Head Pow Wow people are selected for their knowledge, skill, and ability to carry out their tasks. It is a great honor to be selected to one of these positions. Master of Ceremonies: John Bailey It is the responsibility of the MC to coordinate the Pow Wow activities and keep events running smoothly. All announcements, information and explanation of events are made by the MC. The MC must have knowledge of all the songs, dances, customs, culture, tribes, and general information about Pow Wows, as he is expected to explain all aspects of Pow Wow activities during the event. He must be "on stage" for the entire Pow Wow. Host Drum: Little Weasel Thunderchild Singers (Shingue-sase) The Host Drum consists of five or more male singers. The Host Drum leads off each of the Pow Wow's dance sessions with the Grand Entry Songs. They also provide any specialty songs requested, and are ready and capable of singing any song requested. A typical drum group may have a repertoire of hundreds of songs. Head Male Veteran Dancer: Simon Francis Head Female Veteran Dancer: Josie Walters The Head Veteran Dancer is one of the most important dancers in the Pow Wow. He or she carries the eagle feather staff during Grand Entry, and leads the rest of the dancers into the arena. The Head Veteran Dancer represents all American Indians who have given their service and lives in defense of our country. Head Male Dancer: Tim Gibson Head Female Dancer: Mon-ee Chivis It is an honor to be chosen as a head dancer. Head dancers are chosen for their extensive knowledge of the cultural meaning and purpose of Pow Wows. Head dancers are very skilled in their style of dancing and set an example of proper Pow Wow etiquette by upholding the traditions passed down from our American Indian ancestors. The Head Male Dancer follows the Head Veteran Dancer and the other flag bearers into the arena during Grand Entry, and is expected to lead off, with the Head Female Dancer, all Inter-Tribal and specialty dances throughout the Pow Wow. Arena Director: Larry Peshaba The Arena Director is often the busiest person at the Pow Wow. He is responsible for coordinating everything which will ensure the dancing proceeds smoothly. If any singer or dancer has a problem with an on-site deficiency, the arena director makes every effort to remedy the situation. He must make sure all the drummers and dancers have everything they need to participate in the Pow Wow. He coordinates the Grand Entries and specialty dances, and deals with anyone behaving inappropriately during the dancing or in the arena. 7 �THE DANCES American Indian dances are an expression of thankfulness to the Great Spirit, as the people dance in a sacred circle around the drums. The circle represents the cycle of life, the moon, sun and earth. The drum arbor, which is traditionally covered with cedar is in the center. The drums are the heartbeat of the Pow Wow and of the people who dance. Dancing is done in a community spirit. It is a time when friends and relatives come together to celebrate with each other. Over the years. the dances have changed to reflect the growth of traditions. You will see two styles of regalia on the dancers. The traditional dancers use natural items and colors, with designs based on nature: the fancy dancers use brighter, more eyecatching colors and materials. Today a Pow Wow begins with the blessing of the grounds and the Flag song. Indians have the same regard for the Flag Song as for the National anthem. All people are asked to stand and remove their hats as a sign of respect for the veterans who have served their country. The dance for the Flag Song is led by a male veteran. The Indian people dance behind the veteran dancer in respect for the elders and the flags of the Indian nations and the United States. Grand Entry: The Grand Entry is the first dance of the Pow Wow. The dancers will enter the dance circle from the east entrance, usually in single file. The Eagle Staff and the United States flag are carried at the head of the line. The dancers at the front of the line have a place of honor, respect, and responsibility. The dancers create a circle on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing the sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and their ancestors to witness this physical testimony of the continuation of traditional values. Mens' Traditional Dance: Acting out feats of bravery through dance, dancers use story telling movements. They represent an older, distinguished sector of the Pow Wow. Traditional dancers may wear ribbon skirted regalia with beadwork, pieces of hide, and a roach headdress of deer tail, porcupine quills or horse-hair. Moving clockwise around the drum, dancers may interpret animals with side-to-side movements of their heads. They may wear buckskin, a bustle, a breast plate of bone and a roach. What to watchfor: Most interesting is watching the story line develop throughout the dance. Even with the slow tempo, the rhythm must be in harmony with the drum. Try to interpret each motion and compare the different ways dancers imitate the eagle, or the porcupine, or other animals and birds. Mens' Fancy Dance: Today's mens' colorful Fancy Dance is based on the traditional and Warrior Society dances. The dancer's talent and skill is reflected in his footwork, body movements and his ability to stay in step with the drumbeat. 8 �What to watchfor. Following the rhythm of the drum with the steps, the motion of the head and the flow of the body are important elements in the Fancy Dance. Since the steps are individual, the expression of the emotion of the music and the change of pace from a slower style to a faster beat are important. As in all Indian dancing, the finish in exact time with the song ending is significant. Grass Dance: Traditionally, people traveled and often made new camps. Different tasks were given to those most suited for them. The energy of young men made it natural for them to help set up a dancing place. As the grass was very tall in the days before the land was worked into farms, a group of young men moved around the common area, and pushed down the grass with their feet, pressing it again and again until the area was more comfortable to move through. Their movements recalled the wind restlessly swirling the grass. Originating on the northern plains, where men wore crow or sweetgrass braided belts in the traditional Grass Dance, today's dance is like the original because the whole body is used to create free-flowing movements to a slower drum beat than that of other men's dances. It may come the closest of all to imitating the dances of old. Because many of the movements come from the upper torso, grass or yarn dancers exhibit a certain swaying grace and abstract style. What to watchfor: The motion of the bodies causes the flowing regalia to move in a way reminiscent of the long, blowing grass of the prairie. The dance is an expression of the harmony of the universe and is danced in perfect time to the music, responding as the grass rises to the motion of the wind. Womens' Traditional Dance: This dance of honor reflects the women in American Indian society, including their roles as givers of life, keepers of home and family, decision-makers, and heads of households. Some dancers dance in one position or area. Others move clockwise around the drum. Although styles of dress vary, buckskin or cloth dresses with ribbons and shells are often worn. Some carry a shawl draped over one arm and hold a feather fan in the other hand. What to watchfor: Discipline is essential to the slow, graceful movements of the dance. Dancing in perfect harmony with the drum, while never breaking the sedate spirit, is the essence of the dance. The clips and sways are executed with no break in dignity. Womens' Fancy Dance: This dance is popular with young women today as a competitive piece at Pow Wows. This style of dancing is sometimes called fancy shawl. The dancer makes her colorful shawl, worn over the shoulders, dance with her. Creativity and smoothness are the keys to an outstanding performance. It requires nimbleness to perform the fast footwork, spins and leaps. What to watchfor. Since each dancer has her own individual style, the essence is how well the steps and motions express and harmonize with the drums. Being in time with the beat is important, as is the ability to end the dance precisely. 9 �The Jingle Dress Dance: At a time when there was widespread sickness and weakness among the people, many were searching for a way to restore the health of their community. One young girl had a dream in which she saw how effective prayers could be made. The next day she went to a wise grandmother, a medicine woman, who helped her with the realization of her dream. They sewed onto a dress of beautiful fabric many small cones of metal. Each one was tied with a prayer. And when it was worn in the dance, the dress made a jingling sound recalling the saying of constant prayer. The Jingle Dress Dance is a dance of pride and dignity, which allows a significant amount of individual expression. The jingle dress is not only vexy colorful, but it furnishes much of the musical accompaniment for the dance. Made from snuff can tops, the jingles may be a woman's answer to the bells on men's outfits. A jingle dancer's movements are more confined and rigid than a fancy or traditional dancer's. Hands are kept at the waist. The jingle dress's tight fit allows the dancer limited movement. What tD watchfor: Dance steps and body movement which are not in time to the music are easily detected because of the music of the dress itself.. Pride and grace are evident in the attitude of the dancers, and a certain reverence is exhibited. Veterans' Dance: The Head Veteran Dancers lead off this dance. All veterans are invited to join in this honor dance, which is a special tribute to those who have served their countxy. Inter-Tribal Dances: The dances are sometimes called friendship dances and are a chance for evexyone to join in the dancing. It is not necessaxy to be dressed in regalia to participate. The Master of Ceremonies will often announce the intertribals, and encourage the audience to join in. The Give-Away: In Indian culture, honor and prestige is not heaped on the person who accumulates material goods selfishly. The greatest respect is given to those who Give-Away their personal wealth. This might be done to announce the change in status for an individual, or more commonly, in honor of a friend or relative. In either case, it is not the value of the gifts that is important. What is important is the gesture. The gesture illustrates the lack of selfishness in the giver, and the giving of gifts has the effect of strengthening and unifying bonds among the community. The person who receives a gift is as honored as the person who gives the gift. The Give-Away is a fitting climax for the Pow Wow. It caps off a community celebration with a present of friendship, unselfishness. and goodwill that will never be forgotten. 10 �HOMECOMINGOFTHETHREEFIRES POW WOW COMMITTEE: Debbie Muller Pam Van Dyken Hunter Genia Jeff Justin Rick Sprague Loretta Antoine, Chair Loretta E.

basically they were supposed to keep the enemy away from the DMZ • They were sent to a camp near Seoul where they practiced runs for about a month (15:20) Air Fights • US jets could reach about 45,000 feet and North Korean jets got to about 50,000 feet • The Koreans were a little faster but the US had better armament • Korean jets had 2-23 mm guns and a cannon while the US had 6-50 caliber machine guns • Marv worked as a wingman, protecting a shooter that was watching over dive bombers • The US pilots were trained better and had a 10-1 ratio in kills • They later found out that many of the Korean fighter pilots had actually been Russians • They were all supposed to fly 100 missions, but the rules were later changed that stated if you were married, you only had to fly 70 and Marv was married (21:30) Average Days • The men all wore G-suits so that if they had to dive, it would fill up air and keep their blood above their waist • Every day they had tons of scrambled eggs, bacon, and coffee • They had briefing every morning after breakfast, were told their next mission, and assigned a plane • Some days men would not be assigned a mission, but would sit on alert in case of an emergency • They focused on attacking the supply lines of the Chinese near the Yalu River • They did not actually attack the Chinese because they did not want to antagonize them and pull them further into the war • Marv liked to wander around in the country side on his time off and learn about Korean culture • There were many orphans and most of the people worked on rice paddies, living in shacks; the weather was similar to that of Michigan (31:30) Ohio • Marv arrived back in the US the same day that a good friend had gotten back from Korea as well • Marv was sent to an Air Force base [Wright-Patterson] in Dayton, Ohio and trained with advanced models of F-86s �• • • • They flew them as much as possible to work out all the problems with the new jets Sometimes they would have “air alerts” where they would have to be ready to fly 4 minutes after waking up in case of a Russian attack They could fly anywhere they wanted and Marv often traveled back to Byron Center [where he’s famous locally for buzzing the town] They had many night alerts of UFOs, but found nothing once they were in the air (41:50) Discharged • Once Marv was discharged, he received job offers from three different major airlines, but his wife wanted to go back to Byron Center • He used the GI Bill to go back to school in Michigan • Marv now thinks that everyone should be in the military for at least one year to learn some discipline �Page I 01'2 II1<U V Marv Honderd Approximately March of 1950, I peeked in my mailbox and saw a draft notice for the Army. I quickly shut it, knowing what it meant. After thinking it over, I had some years at Calvin Collage, which meant I had a chance of getting into the pilot program in the Air Force. They took me in the regular Air Force with no promises. The Korean war was very intense at this time. I was sent to Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas for basic training. Everyone goes to basic training to teach us farm boys how to march and take orders. I was on my way to radio school and SUddenly ordered to flight school. I was then sent to Columbus, Mississippi for six months of basic flight training. Our days consisted of Y2 classes and Y2 flying. I had never even been in a plane before. Our practice fields were usually in grass fields between cotton fields. We had a large audience of cotton pickers on all sides most of the time. I was then transferred to Lubbock, Texas for advanced pilot training for six months. This involved much navigation. weather, acrobatics, and instrument training. I graduated from here and received my wings and a 2 nd Lieutenant commission. I was then transferred to Wichita. Kansas for jet training. Here we flew the F-80 Shooting Star. This was a whole new ballgame. The F-80 was much faster, quieter and flew higher. From now on we always breathed oxygen in flight. We then transferred to Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Nevada to learn to fly the super-sonic F-86 Sabre Jet. Here we practiced gunnery, air to air, and air to ground, aerial combat, close formation flying and more instrument and navigation flying. It was so hot here we could only fly in the early morning, so ground school was held in the afternoons. It was here that they picked who was to be a fighter pilot. About one in three pilots where picked for this. After graduation, I was sent to Seoul, Korea. There I received about three more months of combat training and the sent into action. By this time, we were ready! This is where I was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. After completing 100 combat mission, you could go home to a safer flying job. These combat mission were spread out over roughly one year, depending on how the war was going. Every two monlhs we went to Japan to replace lost aircraft. This was a very hectic, intense time when a person's faith was very important to him. There were numerous close calls and at times you say "This can't be happening to mel" More then once I came back with a crippled jet, but always made it back safely. Lew Kerkstra was down below us allhis time as a P.O.W. These prisoner of war camps were not visible to us. r ..""1,...." ..... ~ h~;,..-:-...-- ••. _ ... __ .11 I' •• _.-~--- •..·_·"".·~(i'> �Page 2 or 2 Finally, our mission came to an end and I was spared. It was a long pleasant ride back to the states. Also at time the North Koreans released Lew Kerkstra. Most POWs didn't come home. Lew and I were furloughed together and we decided to go fishing for a day and talk over our experiences. We went to Swan Lake in Allegan County. We didn't even care that the fish weren't biting. That was the most enjoyable fishing day we ever had. Lew was sent to an Army Hospital for recovery. (He was skin and bones) His experience in Korea was much more traumatic then mine. After the war, I was assigned for two years to the Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio to tile Air Defense Command. These new fighter planes had 36 rockets instead of six guns. We also had radar scanners in the nose of our jets to see enemy planes in bad weather. Our squadron had armed and on five minute alert at all times. This was my job, and numerous times we were scrambled during the night to intercept Unidentified Flying Objects. And last but not least, Dayton was only 30 minutes from Byron Center and some people say they saw a jet, flying low over Byron a few times. The Pilot had a nose like mine. This rumor just won't go away. This closes on big chapter on my life. Marvin Honderd.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan March 2, 2003 Transcription of the spoken sermon Religion has damaged as many people throughout the centuries as it has healed. I say that not as a shocking opening statement, I say that not to be provocative, I say that because I really believe that. Religion has had a tendency to become oppressive and to lead people into depression rather than into liberation, freedom, and joy. I met a person, in this case a woman, this past week whom I had not seen for over forty years, and over forty years ago she was what one would call a deeply spiritual person, and I say that positively, a woman of prayer, prayer circles, missionary activity, great piety and devotion. When I saw her this week after forty years, I was surprised at her face. Someone has said you could tell a great deal about a person from his or her face. Her face did not reflect to me joy, pleasure, delight, or a certain lightness of being. Her face, her visage communicated to me a certain heaviness, even grumpiness. I thought to myself that all of the intense, sincere and serious cultivation of the spiritual life, for all of that, she did not strike me as being very happy. Not so long ago I took a book down from the shelf that I hadn't touched in a long time, blew the dust off and it flopped open to a spot where there was a small brochure. It was produced in the early 60s when I was here the first time. We weren't called Christ Community at that time; the other name will not be mentioned. There I was with my picture on it, of course, just fresh out of seminary, and my visage communicated in that picture, a serious, moral, completely dedicated, young man, young old man, and in that little brochure we had a number of affirmations, all very orthodox which we surely believed. I was embarrassed and amused as I looked at it. So, I took it to Duba's on Tuesday to the luncheon and gave it to Duncan Littlefair just so he would know the kind of persons he, was hanging out with. The next week he came to the table and said to the table, "I want to show you a story of salvation," and he held up that brochure with my picture and he said, "This man was lost." And then he pointed at me and he said, "Look at his face. He has been saved." That's a true story and I know existentially that it is true. © Grand Valley State University   �Honestly Human Richard A. Rhem Page 2   To be human is to be a creature in conflict. It is to be a creature living with a constant tension. The Apostle Paul knew that and that famous seventh chapter of Romans I can never read without feeling the intensity of Paul's own inward struggle. There is a long history of interpretation of that passage. It is amazing what people get out of that passage. I am not going to bore you with all of that interpretation all over the map. I think it is enough to read it and to say Paul knew the excruciating pain of being a creature living in tension. W. H. Auden, in the little quote in your liturgy, says, "There are times when wouldn't we like to be unreflective animals? Or disembodied spirits?" because either way, no problem. Don't we know in the depths of our being that about which Paul was writing? Of course we do. Krister Stendahl says that for Paul this was a midrash on the Genesis story of the fall, because Paul was trying to understand how he could affirm the Torah, the way of life, the law of God, how he could affirm that in his inward being and do such a miserable job of fulfilling it. How could he will to do one thing and do another? Have you ever been there? Don't we know? Is not there that within us that would soar and love and grace and bless and affirm, and that within us which is dark, mean, and that which makes us blush? That is the human situation. St. Paul would say it is because we are fallen creatures. I don't happen to agree with Paul on that one. I don't think it is because we are fallen creatures, I think it is because we are human creatures. Here we are, after eons and eons and eons of time, of evolutionary process that has brought about creatures like us who carry with us all of the animality of our background rooted in the dust of the earth, and creatures who have become aware, conscious, susceptible to the lure of love, able at times to soar into transcendent realms and ecstatic joy. We are not fallen. We are just human, and to be honestly human is to recognize that conflict within which is a given, with being human beings such as we are. In the wisdom of the ancient church, it was that tension within that gave rise to Mardi Gras. I became aware of that rather late in life, too. It was the covering of the parade in New Orleans, I suppose some few years ago, when the commentator spoke about the wisdom of the ancient church in giving people an opportunity to cut loose, to blow off steam and get it all out of their system before they entered into the darkness and the solemnity of that season of Lent when they were called to self-denial and contemplation. It immediately made sense to me that the church jn its best wisdom has understood the nature of the human which it is explained as a term of being fallen or whether it is understood, as we do today, with psychological insight and behavioral sciences, etc., that it is simply the given with being what we are. Nonetheless, in the wisdom of the church, the whole being needs to be recognized and ownership taken. Some years ago when Gertrud Mueller Nelson was here and we were introduced to her wonderful book on the celebration of the seasons, Dance With God. I was struck with her description of Carnival, and the purpose of Carnival and the © Grand Valley State University �Honestly Human Richard A. Rhem Page 3   acknowledgment of that shadow side that is within all of us and that need for ownership thereof and release of, but release of in some measured and controlled manner. Martin Marty says that the church is afraid to allow us ecstasy, because ecstasy actually from the Greek sfotis, out of that state in which one is, or to be out of oneself; or to be beside oneself, to be crazy. The suggestion is that now and again we should be given permission simply to be crazy. In the rituals of the church, to the extent that they are healthy and human-enhancing, they will provide those channels whereby we can tap our feet and be ushered into delight and know the taste of sheer joy. I love to watch the children when the jazz ensemble or the musicians are singing on a day like this. I saw Greg Martin's little daughter doing her thing. She's got the rhythm, Greg, she was replicating you right there in the pew, and when I see that happen, I know there is something right about that. In contrast to the little child who, sitting next to her mother, was turning around and making eye contact and smiling with all those around until her mother reined her in, gave her a squeeze and said, "Remember you're in church." Gordon Cosby, who is the founder of that well-publicized and marvelous ministry in Washington D.C., the Church of the Saviour, tells about a time when he was invited by a New England congregation to come up and preach at a midweek Lenten service, and he said the service was so dull and uninspiring, the only thing that moved in the whole service were the offering plates. He and his wife left rather down and dispirited and the congregation had secured for them a room in the village, and it happened to be over the tavern, and he and his wife retired to their room and beneath them were emanating the sounds of music and laughter and joy, and he looked at his wife and said, "You know, if Jesus came to this village tonight, I think he'd join the crowd at the tavern rather than the crowd at the church." And I know that existentially also, because that young man who was in the pulpit here for those early years of 1960s, oh, it is painful to remember. But, I went to Williamsburg, Virginia not so long after that and, in a tour of the colonial buildings, there was this lovely hall on a second floor in the middle of that little village restored, and the guide spoke about the fact that in this room – which was light with windows and chair stacked and here and there great barrels of wine vats, nice hardwood floor – the guide said here the social life of the community took place. There were often Saturday evening dances, he said, and then the chairs would be set up for divine worship on Sunday morning. I thought, "Bingo! The only part of that story I know is Sunday morning, because I've never danced a step, let alone a two-step, and wine never touched my lips apart from the Eucharist." I know I am not preaching to many of you. There are a few dinosaurs like me out there, but just let me get this off my chest. You can just go out of here and thank God that you didn't know that kind of repressive religious experience, © Grand Valley State University �Honestly Human Richard A. Rhem Page 4   and yet I know I also speak for a good measure of religion which is in control and which, as Martin Marty says, is afraid to let us experience something of the divine madness which honors that part of our humanity which is also authentically human. Jesus, it seems to me, had the balance right. He was accosted by the religious guardians of tradition for the fact that his disciples didn't carry on the fast. Maybe they didn't keep Lent. He said to them, "Look, you can't fast when the bridegroom is here." And then he was trying to say something new is a-birthing and you simply cannot take that which is new and cram it into old containers because it bursts the containers. And then they were going through the grain fields and the disciples picked the grain for their own need on the Sabbath, which again brought that conflict situation: why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath? Jesus said there is precedent for that. The meeting of human need transcends the ritual prescription for the keeping of the Sabbath. And then he said, "Look, the Sabbath, this marvelous gift of God, has been for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath." It is so easy in our religious observances, it is so easy for those of us who are in charge, it is so easy for us to forget that it is all for the enrichment and the enhancement of your humanity lived before the face of God. With Jesus, there was that ability to discriminate between the authentic observance and the honoring of that which was even deeper, which was authentic human need. The church doesn't live very easily with that kind of freedom because Luke and Matthew we are told followed Mark a decade or two later. Mark's gospel, that we read this morning, has that statement of Jesus, the Sabbath was made for the human, not the human for the Sabbath. When Matthew and Luke picked up that particular story, in both Matthew and Luke that statement was deleted. I think the elders got together and said, "You know what? That is just too dangerous. You can't trust the people to make that decision, and so we had better delete it." It is a beautiful thing, really, when one can celebrate the full spectrum of being, to come in here this morning to the sounds of joy. I caught you smiling and tapping your feet because something deep down in you was being tapped, because there is something marvelous about the experience of sheer joy and delight. And then, it will be also a goose-bump experience on Wednesday evening at the opening of Lent when you will come here to a dimmed sanctuary and kneel and I will place the ashes on your forehead in the sign of the cross reminding you that dust you are and to dust you will return. So, you see, to be honestly human is to be able on Tuesday night to have pancakes dripping with butter and sloshing with syrup, bacon deep in grease and sausage that won't quit, raise a glass and party a while, and then come here to identify with the lamb of God who loved us and gave himself for us. It is not either/or. It is both/and. That is to be honestly human. That is to be all that God intends us to © Grand Valley State University �Honestly Human Richard A. Rhem Page 5   be, and when we live that way, then I suspect that increasingly with age, with wrinkles and creases, our visage will reflect joy. © Grand Valley State University � 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.
