Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan October 7, 2001 Transcription of the spoken sermon From a textbook that we are using on Wednesday evenings in our class, Samuel P. Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations: Remaking of the World Order, I read this paragraph, Every civilization sees itself as the center of the world and writes its history as the central drama of human history. This has been perhaps even more true of the West than of other cultures. Such mono-civilizational viewpoints, however, have decreasing relevance and usefulness in a multicivilizational world. Scholars of civilizations have long recognized this truism. In 1918, Spangler denounced the myopic view of history prevailing in the West with its neat division into ancient, medieval and modern phases relevant only to the West. It is necessary, he said, to replace this Ptolemaic approach to history with a Copernican one, and to substitute for the empty figment of one linear history the drama of a number of mighty cultures. A few decades later, Toynbee castigated the parochialism and impertinence of the West manifested in the egocentric illusions that the world revolved around it, that there was an unchanging East and that progress was inevitable. The illusions and prejudices of which these scholars warn, however, live on, and in the late twentieth century have blossomed forth into the widespread and parochial conceit that the European civilization of the West is now the universal civilization of the world. And, at the bottom of that page which concludes chapter two, I penned, "And then September 11,2001." I wonder, as I am sure you do as well, whether or not the tragedy of September 11 will significantly alter our human consciousness, whether the revelation of our vulnerability will affect the way we live, think, worship, believe. I wonder if there is a dawning consciousness that will enable us to recognize the illusions, the © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 2 myths with which we live, about the centrality of our own perspective and point of view, whether or not some progress in the human story may be possible because finally the dullness of our spirits has been penetrated. When I read the paragraph from Samuel P. Huntington that I cited just a moment ago, what leapt off the page at me was his suggestion that the historians need to experience a Copernican revolution, shorthand for a total restructuring of thought and understanding. Copernicus, you will remember, was a bishop of the Church who, in the 16th, maybe 15* century, through some primitive calculations determined that the earth was not the center of the universe, but rather circled around the sun. That was revolutionary thinking, and somehow or other Copernicus kept it under cover. But his disciple, Galileo, did further calculations and with a primitive instrument established beyond a shadow of a doubt that, indeed, Copernicus was right, the earth was not the center of the universe. The earth orbited the sun, as did several other planets, and we were a middlin' star in this universe that was visible, accessible at that time. Well, of course, the moment that was proclaimed, it not only demoted the earth from its central place and humanity from its center place before the face of God, but it also was contrary to the scriptures that spoke in poetic fashion, to be sure, but of the earth as the center. And so, you know the story. Galileo was put on trial, his life was threatened, except if he recant, which he did mumbling, we're told, under his breath, “but it's still true,” put under house arrest. But, in the good time and the good grace of the Church, of course, as is always true of the Church, the Church comes around. It took only from the 16th century until 1991, December 28, when the Vatican said Galileo was right. But, what struck me was Huntington's use of that Copernican revolution as an analogy for what has to happen in our understanding of history, and he quotes Spangler in his great work, The Decline of the West (1918), Spangler saying that is what we need in our thinking about history. We need a Copernican revolution. He cites Toynbee, the great scholar of civilization, talking about our parochialism. And then Samuel Huntington concludes the chapter by saying, "These scholars have been talking this way for a long time, but still our illusions and our myths live on. Well, Huntington published in 1996, and I read the book at the end of 1999. I even preached on The Clash of Civilizations and the healing of the nations under the theme, "A Millennial Vision," January 23, 2000. I thought it was important, and I thought it was important enough to bring to your attention. But I have to admit, after September 11, it's like the whole thing comes alive in a new dimension, and suddenly I read Spangler's statement about the need of a Copernican revolution and I read Huntington's saying the illusions and the myths just seem to go on in spite of the fact that there are intelligent voices saying otherwise, and then I switch from the dullness of the historian to the even greater dullness of the religionist. © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 3 This morning I am not interested in dealing with that with which Huntington deals, that is, the new historical perspective after the Cold War of the civilizational groupings that make up our reality. I simply begin there to see how interesting it is to take an analogy from the fields of the sciences and apply it to history, and I want to apply it to religion, because I want to say to you this morning that, in the light of September 11, it is absolutely imperative that those who are observant religious people around the world come to a deeper and new appreciation of the nature of religion, and the fact that, just as we write history from our own point of view, so we write our religion from our own point of view, as do the respective religions of the world, all seeing themselves in the center as the holder of the truth. Within the Eastern faiths it is not so serious, because they're happy to invite another point of view because they are not exclusive. But, particularly within Christianity and to a certain extent Islam, it is written into the very charter of what our story tells us, that our Christian faith, for example, is true, absolutely true, exclusively true, and the missionary mandate of the Christian Church is to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, and the whole structure and biblical scheme is that, when Christ has been brought to the whole world, the end will come. That is part and parcel of the very heart of our understanding as Christian people. Now in this congregation we have moved off from that exclusivism. We have moved from exclusivism to a posture of pluralism. We have come to recognize that the great religious traditions are traditions that, along with our tradition, are recipients of the truth of God, the revelation of God, and the experiences of the grace of God. We have made that move, which is no small move, and which came with no little wrenching and at considerable cost. But we at Christ Community Church affirm that, while Jesus is our window to God, others have other windows which are also valid for the experience of communion with God and the experience of the grace of God. I find that it is rather easy to sit back and relax and pat ourselves on the back and say, "You know, what a sophisticated and enlightened people we are. Now we can just get on with our lives." I want to say after September 11, we have to recognize how imperative it is that that posture that we have been invited into be witnessed to and offered and, if need be, defended. I want us to realize this morning, in the light of September 11, that, if it was necessary at one point for those who studied astronomy to go through a mind-wrenching revolution, if it is necessary for those who study history to get released from their parochialism and their myopic vision, then, dear friends, how much more it is for the religious people of the world to open their minds to the threat and the danger of exclusivism and absolutism, and to recognize that our religious experience is the source of that spiritual insight and comfort for us, but it is our story, a valid story, but not the only story. © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 4 You might think that September 11 would change the picture, but I have a letter here from Pat Robertson. "Dear Richard Rhem." (They're good. If I get on his list, everybody's on his list. The only mistake he made is Christ Community Reformed Church. That figures.) But, it's a letter that talks about the crisis at present and you know how Falwell and Robertson backed off from their insensitive remarks immediately after the crisis. But I'll tell you what - they've not changed their mind one whit. "Throughout our history our true protection has not come from armed forces, our police, our intelligence. Our protection has been the covering hand of a gracious God. Modern day America has repudiated that," and so on and so forth. "Has our conduct caused a loving God to lift his hand of protection from us, and if it has, what can His people do?" Well, of course, there are kits and books and all kinds of things, and a contribution request. Yesterday's Grand Rapids Press, on the same page in which there was a little story about Bishop Spong's visit here, and a little synopsis of his calling us to maturity and to grow up and to recognize that that cozy, parental God does not exist, there is an advertisement for the fall conference of the Seventh Reformed Church, and it is entitled, "The Other Side of the Good News: The Challenge of Universalism," and Friday night you could hear a survey of contemporary universalisms. We might come in for mention. Saturday morning early, a defense of the doctrine of everlasting punishment. Now, how would you like to be in the position of creating the defense for the doctrine of eternal damnation? I mention that only because I want you to know that September 11, in many cases, hasn't changed anything. There is still that very conservative and orthodox and fundamentalist element within the Christian Church that is pushing exclusivism, Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and the condemnation of all those who share another point of view. The Seventh Reformed Church, you may remember, was pastored by my dear friend, John Richard deWitt, whose recent letter to me closed by saying, "I love you very much." Now, that, too, is a mystery. But here we are at opposite ends, opposite poles, and yet at Duba's table we were able, Tuesday after Tuesday, to carry on wonderful civil dialogue, and if you think it was good before, can you imagine what Duba's is about after September 11? Now the group has been reconstituted because Dick is in South Carolina, Duncan is still there, who celebrated with Nancy on Thursday his 89th birthday. Lester DeKoster is still there, in his mid-80s, hale and hearty. But, we've added a little support on my side. I brought Howard VanTill to the table, so we have an enlightened scientist. And my dear friend, Bud Ridder, of many, many years. And Clarence Boomsma, a respected and sensitive and intelligent pastor of the Christian Reformed Church for many years. I run with these guys in their 80s, it makes me feel young. Last Tuesday I think it was Howard who said something about revelation just doesn't fall out of heaven so that you have a book, and my dear friend Lester said, "That's exactly what you have. If you don't have that, you don't have anything." © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 5 Now, Lester has a philosophically trained mind of brilliant capacity with a debater's skills. Of course, he was not only debating, but baiting a bit. So, when asked, "All right, I have the absolute word of God, divinely inspired in every word, and my Muslim brother has the Koran, claiming even a higher level of inspiration for his book, what do we have here? An impasse?" Lester said, "No, it depends on who was the author." "Well, who was the author of this book?" (The Bible) "The eternal God." "Who was the author of this book?" (The Koran) "Satan." Now, Lester with his lovely wife Ruth, will be listening to this sermon. They have Christ Community preaching for breakfast on Tuesday morning, so that he can always make some relative comment on Tuesday noon, and of course, with his incisive thinking and his acuity, he is always right on. He knows exactly where I have deviated from the faith. Lester knew what he was doing. He was setting us up. If you hold that this (the Bible) is the word of God, every word, then every other book has to be a false book. It has to be the witness of a lie. So, Lester proceeded, "If you don't have that, what do you have?" And I was so delighted with my friend, Bud Ridder, who swallowed hard, pushing away every inclination and every instruction and every bit of knowledge he had in his whole life, saying, "My authority is in myself." Of course, that's exactly what Lester was trying to point out. When you give up the authority of the book or, if you were a Roman Catholic, the authority of the Church, or if you were in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the authority of the tradition, then you are out at sea. Then you are your own authority. And you can go across the spectrum of the Protestant or Catholic or Orthodox churches today and you will find, when you press the issue, that there will be fudging all along the line. But, at Duba's table, one never gets away with fudging. And so, my friend, Bud Ridder, had to say, "I am my own authority," and I cheered. Because that's precisely where we are. We have made the move into pluralism, dear friends. But, I want to take you a cut below that. Not only have we become pluralists because well, nice folks like us, after all, should be pluralists. We're nice people. We like to get along with other people. Who wants to say to somebody else, "You're lost," or "You're damned," or "You're on the wrong track?" We're decent people, civil and good neighbors. We're just plain congenial folks. Shouldn't we be pluralists? No. It's not enough. We ought to be pluralists on the basis of our deepest insight and that insight is this - that finally we are the creators of our own vision and our own place to stand. © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 6 Now, don't hear me say that you begin life with a virgin mind and a blank tablet and you start creating this thing from scratch. Of course not. Grace Elizabeth and Allie, who were baptized today, are immersed in a story. They are surrounded with the love of those who tell the story. They are part of the community of faith, a particular tradition whose window on God is that beautiful face of Jesus. They are being shaped and, beyond that, they have a storybook in which they are being nurtured in this community and in their homes. And beyond that, they are growing into a world of experience, a fascinating world of expanding experience and broadening horizons. And so, from a tradition, from a sacred story, from a family and a community, and in the gaining of experience, finally they make up their mind through the use of their mind, through critical rationality, which is the particular gift and fruit of the Western tradition. That is the thing that is being terrorized today. That is the greatest threat to us, to lose our gift and our capacity to think with our minds and make up our minds and sift the evidence and the experience before us with our critical rationality. So, it is not as though everyone is on his or her own, starting out fresh and having to come to some kind of major conclusions, no. We are shaped, we are guided, we are nurtured. Finally, in the end, it is not this book. It is not the authority of Mother Church. It is not 2000 years of tradition. It is not the word of some pastor or counselor. Finally, until you can stand on your own and say, "This I believe, for these reasons, in light of this experience," until you come to that point, you have not crossed the Rubicon. Crossing the Rubicon is a matter of determining the source of authority. Once you cross the Rubicon, you are free to think. You are free to think about religion; you are free to think about theological questions; you are free to think about social, ethical issues. You are able to take the witness of science over against the question of sexual orientation. You are able to carry on a conversation about the question of abortion. You are able to discuss Planned Parenthood. You are able to think about all of those issues that are right at the nub of our present existential situation. You are free; you are free to think. You can gather the data. You can get the best information possible. You could become aware of your own biases and prejudices. You can lay it all on the table, and then you can make up your mind and you can be committed and dedicated to a point of view which you cannot do when you say, "Therefore, I have absolute truth. Therefore, my religious understanding is synonymous with the truth. Therefore, my decision on social, ethical questions is the only possibility for a thinking religious and pious person." What I am saying to you, I am saying as clearly and simply as I can, and I want you to know it is a very radical point of view. Last Sunday evening, after a very busy and significant weekend, Christine Spong called and said, "Dick, Jack and I are tired. We would like simply to come over and sit on the bluff with you and Nancy and watch the sunset and eat leftovers." And we did. Jack Spong had been exposed to you in large assembly and various © Grand Valley State University �This is the Time and This is the Place Richard A. Rhem Page 7 small groups, he met with the Trustees, encountered many of you one-on-one, and immediately sitting down, he said, "Dick, I want you to know that Christ Community is a very special place. I want you to know that in all of my world travels, in all of my involvement with the church, out of all of my experience over the years, what you have there is rare. That community of people is rare. Theologically, spiritually, psychologically, emotionally mature." And he said, "You know, I'm a disincarnate bishop at this point, and I need concrete laboratories. I see Christ Community as a place that has the possibility because of where it has come to move into the next phase of what the religious community must be." He even offered to come back and be with us for a month and help us, suggested that we gather some other similar people, maybe bring in a Muslim imam, a Buddhist monk. Let us begin to live concretely what we say we believe, bringing our gift to the table and learning, as well, from the wisdom and the insight of others. My sermon title is "This is the Time and This is the Place." Jesus said, "You are the light of the world." Light doesn't go out and wage warfare, but light is what it is, and it illumines. He said, "You are the salt of the earth." The whole world doesn't need to be a salt block, but the world needs the light sprinkling of salt in order that it may bring forth all of its richness and flavor. Jesus said, "Love your enemies. Be like God. The sun shines on the good and the evil. The rain falls on the gardens of all people. You be like that." The word in the old, traditional translation is "Be ye perfect, as God is perfect," but that too easily takes on a moralistic tone. The word really in the Greek original means complete, whole, fulfilling its purpose and its end. Be therefore mature, complete, as God is mature and complete. I don't know the implications of what it means to move into the next form of existence of the Church. But, I do know that we have made a significant move. We know why we have made it, and a thoughtful analysis and critical understanding will demonstrate that the only authority, finally, is the conviction of our own faith and our own vision which we share in community and support one another. I don't know the implications of this, but I know this -I have time and I have the energy, if you are willing to find out the next orbit. This is the time, folks, and this is the place.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Ash Wednesday, February 25, 2004 Transcription of the spoken sermon I don't know how many years ago it was that I first received the ashes on my forehead with those somber words, "Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return," a good number of years ago now, but it happened here. It had never been a part of my tradition growing up in the Reformed Church, which is liturgically challenged. I would rather have thought about it as some hocus-pocos Catholic sacramental act with which I would have no truck, being a good evangelical and reformed minister. Then, I experienced it one day, experienced the momentous impact of that honest moment, "Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return," a moment of honesty in a world of superficiality. Perhaps it is that I have moved into the latter decades of my own life that I appreciate it so much. I have come to value it and to treasure it as a pastoral moment, as well, a moment of absolute honesty as I look into your eyes, place the ashes on your head and say, "Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return." We acknowledge the reality of our humanity and our mortality. It is a beautiful moment; this service is an oasis, a sanctuary. It is a quiet place away from a world that is so bombastic with media blitzes, its constant barrage of commercials, its excessive celebrations of Super Bowls and All-Star extravaganzas, of Emmys and Golden Globes, Oscars, and all of the superficiality of those so-called celebrations that mark our society. How different is a moment like this. I don't know whether Dr. Littlefair would enjoy this service or not. He never attended an Ash Wednesday service. And he had pretty much done away with the sacramental and the ritualistic in the worshiping community at Fountain Street. And yet, he loved to sit out there and even on the high holy days when we got out all of the pageantry and all of the symbolism of the tradition, I know how much he enjoyed that. We used to speak about the fact that he was fascinated that we could have translated the understanding of the faith while maintaining those accouterments that have been a part of the tradition down through the centuries. So, I don't know whether he would like this service or not, but I do think he would affirm the honesty and the reality of the moment of our facing each other in the face of our mutual mortality. © Grand Valley State University   �This Quiet Dust Richard A. Rhem Page 2   In preparation for the memorial service while I was in Florida, there were those who very kindly sent me some pieces that were important to Duncan. Jo Earl, his secretary, his friend and his caregiver of over fifty years, sent me some of his favorite poems, and when I read "This Quiet Dust," which is on the cover of your liturgy, I knew that I would be speaking about that this evening, having that be the center of our reflection, although at that time I had not yet thought in terms of a series of messages on A Littlefair Legacy. But, I knew tonight we'd be centered around "This Quiet Dust." It was Duncan's favorite poem, because it expressed so eloquently his faith and his understanding. Before I knew Duncan, I knew of him only by reputation, which of course in Western Michigan was not good. An enemy of the faith, to be sure, one who denied and betrayed the great Christian tradition. I suppose that non-Fountain Street folks got exposed to Duncan most often at funerals where there was a kind of obligatory attendance, therefore the necessity of being submitted to whatever it was that came forth from that pulpit, that infamous pulpit. I do remember, on occasion, people who attended funerals at Fountain Street who would come away saying, "That was awful. There was no comfort, there was no word of hope." I didn't know any better until I came to know Duncan and to know him intimately and to come to understand the nature of his religious faith and experience and expression, and then, of course, I came to understand quite a different picture than that which had been rumored about. I got called this afternoon from an old and very dear friend of mine, John Richard DeWitt. We were classmates together in college and seminary, and he called me from South Carolina where he is now serving as a pastor. He had been in Grand Rapids for a few years at the Seventh Reformed Church. The irony was that Dick and I were just the best of friends, loving each other, and in constant contact and communion over all these many years. He was anchoring the most conservative Reformed Church in the nation and I was anchoring the most liberal. When he came to Grand Rapids, Duncan's dear old friend Lester deKoster joined the Seventh Reformed Church which created quite a stir because he is a person of no mean estate in the Christian Reformed Church. Then he brought Duncan to the Seventh Reformed Church to hear Dick preach because Dick is one of the great preachers in the nation. Duncan loved to hear him preach. The people of Seventh Reformed Church were so thrilled that there was Duncan Littlefair in worship and they began to pray for his soul. Fortunately, he didn't get "saved." But, Lester and Duncan, who had lunch together over all those many years, invited my friend Dick to the table at Duba's, and then Dick invited me and that was the original quartet in the corner of Duba's bar. Dick, a conservative, Reformed, erudite scholar and a gentleman. Lester, a dear, crotchety Calvinist of unbending will. Duncan, off the charts. And when I first came to the table, he said, "Now, tell me who you are," and I said, "Well, I was where Dick still is." So this was the table. I'm telling you this simply because today, unannounced, Dick called from Carolina and, of course, we talked about Duncan. I told him how I concluded the memorial message saying that I wanted to share a secret with you that Duncan © Grand Valley State University �This Quiet Dust Richard A. Rhem Page 3   was a man who lived in constant God-consciousness, that he was a man drunk with God. My friend Dick said, "You're right." Now, that's quite remarkable, isn't it, when you think about it? Quite amazing, really. Two people raised in a very conservative tradition, one remaining there, faithful to that tradition, one having traversed the whole spectrum to quite another position. But, nonetheless, both of us bearing witness to the Godconsciousness of Duncan Littlefair. If you were here on Sunday, you perhaps got at least a hint of the nature of that God-consciousness as Duncan experienced it. It was a God-consciousness that was experienced within the one reality of which we are a part. I understood a liberal as one who recognized that the sciences were laying bare the mysteries of the natural world, and the liberal religious scholar was one who finally gave up trying to find knowledge of the world in the Bible, gave up this authoritative text in terms of the knowledge of reality and nature, the universe, and instead listened to what the scientist had to say about the nature of this reality and then sought to find the way to live religiously within that reality. That reality which was laid bare was a miracle, full of mystery, full of wonder. The reality of which we are a part fills one with awe and no one lived with a greater sense of the wonder and the awe, the miracle of life, than Duncan Littlefair. But, as I said on Sunday, if you were a particular kind of liberal, a Chicago School liberal, a modernist, then you didn't look for God in some other realm, you didn't posit a dualism, a realm of nature and a realm of spirit, a realm of the natural and a realm of the supernatural, but you experienced or looked for the Mystery, the creative center of reality within the structures of nature itself. That was the core and the key to the religious experience of Duncan Littlefair, that eloquent spokesman of that Chicago School, that found the richness of life as the location of the mystery of God, that creative center of things, that creative ground of things, that unfolding miracle which we are all living together. It was that which created wonder and awe and caused one to live with growing awareness and appreciation, and consequently, with reverence and with gratitude. When I read "This Quiet Dust," it was as if Duncan had written it himself. Here in my curving hands I cup This quiet dust; I lift it up, Here is the mother of all thought; Of this the shining heavens are wrought, The laughing lips, the feet that rove, The face, the body that you love; Mere dust, no more, yet nothing less, And this has suffered consciousness, Passion and Terror, this again Shall suffer passion, death and pain. © Grand Valley State University �This Quiet Dust Richard A. Rhem Page 4   For, as all flesh must die, so all, Now dust, shall live. 'Tis natural; Yet hardly do I understand – Here in the hollow of my hand A bit of God himself I keep, Between two vigils fallen asleep. I read that and I said, "Wow". Is that not a magnificent and profound expression of a religious naturalism that understands the unitary nature of reality? This cosmic process of which we are the unfolding part, the emerging wonder, this 13.7 billion-year process in which that dust and matter, that material has emerged into life and into conscious life, suffering consciousness, pain and terror and death, this dust reflective, of course, of that creation story as the Creator scoops a handful of the dust of the earth to create the creature, and reflective, too, of that most profound insight of the Christian tradition, that eternal word or intention of God becoming flesh. God becoming human. No one has ever seen God, the one who dwells in love, dwells in God and God in that one. This quiet dust with the potential of the divine in the human - Wow! That's amazing. The writer of Ecclesiastes was a thinker, a poet, a skeptic, sometimes almost a cynic. It's really interesting that that Hebrew writing made the cut in the canon. As I read, he was talking about the fact that animal breath and human breath are the same, an insight way beyond his time of the unitary structure of reality. And then raising the question, even his recognition of the animal nature of the human and the continuity between the animal and the human, and then wondering what happens to that breath or spirit, because in Hebrew it is the same word, Ruach. What happens to that Ruach? Who knows, he says. Does the spirit of the human go upward and the spirit of the mere animal go downward to the earth? He didn't know. The Christian tradition, of course, centered on the resurrection. Paul speaks about something more. He talks about this earthly tabernacle being dissolved. There again, "Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return." But, of course, with his encounter with that visionary experience he has of the risen Christ, he speaks of being clothed upon. Well, he doesn't know what he's talking about, either. But, he's wondering, and of course we wonder, don't we? Duncan loved "This Quiet Dust" because it spoke so eloquently of the unitary nature of reality that emanated in the miracle of life which was to be savored, tasted, lived fully, celebrated to the miracle, wonder, glory and joy of life. Is that enough? I think we who have been so conditioned by a very traditional Christian understanding speak about something more and when we face death with one another, the clichés trip off our tongues rather lightly, clichés about which I think we don't often think deeply, and I'm not here this evening to tell you about your © Grand Valley State University �This Quiet Dust Richard A. Rhem Page 5   own hope of something more or confidence in something more, or to be honest with you, perhaps your journey has been something like mine where I have come to an awareness of the miracle of life and the living of that in all of its wonder, more and more wondering myself, if this isn't enough, I really don't know. No one knows. This quiet dust now between two vigils. "Dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return," but will that dust return again to life and the miracle of it all? You see, we wonder about things beyond our knowledge very naturally. Duncan perhaps could have lived a while yet, but he bargained with his doctor to let him go home, and his daughter told me when I called from Florida that when they took him out of the ambulance on the gurney and brought him into his home, he had the most serene smile on his face. He was home. But, he was home because he was always home. Dear God, what a gift, his life, this life. A year ago, perhaps on All Saints Day, my sermon subject was "The Secret of Dying Well Is Living Well." Duncan lived so well. He died so well, and when I see that, then simply for me, it is enough.

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.

Haas Address to Faculty and Staff, 2008. This video is in color with sound. Thomas J. Haas gives an address to faculty and staff on August 22, 2008 as a welcome back for the new academic year. Haas begins with a few stories about students and families who found Grand Valley to be a great choice. He then welcomes Board of Trustees members and a few other individuals in the audience. Haas discusses goals the Board of Trustees set the previous year, mentioning the highlights from these goals and achievements thus far. Haas then goes through strategic planning and goals for different themes, including leadership, fiscal responsibility, and community development. There is a lot of focus on the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation, the completed self-study, and next steps in the accreditation process and the university’s goals going forward. Haas then discusses a few changes looking forward, including the Board of Trustee’s new policy on household benefits, and adaptations for budget and tuition costs in order to be accessible to students despite the economic situation. Haas then takes questions from the audience on the campus smoking policy, success in becoming an environmentally friendly campus, and keeping graduates in the state of Michigan. He finishes up with talking about plans moving forward, including the new library.
