Event Immanuel’s Great Bike Ride (Aug 29)

immanuelrochester — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:22:10 +0000

Immanuel folks are having a bike ride after church on August 29, weather permitting. We plan to leave Genesee Valley Park (enter off of Elmwood Ave just across the river from the U of R http://www.monroecounty.gov/Image/GeneseeValleyPark.pdf) at 1:30 and ride to Spencerport, 12 miles on the Erie Canal path. A little more than an hour one way. Some of us may want to grab an extra snack at church prior to Bible Reflection. Then we’ll plan to have a simple full meal in Spencerport. If you need to eat sooner, we can all share ice cream at ABBOTS also near the path! Then we’ll return.

Say, we’ll be back by 5.

Enter Genesee Valley Park at the ice rink. Turn into the lot away from the rink, to the right, just to the SW. All this is weather permitting. We’ve spoken to some of you in person, but this should reach others. No quick pace. The ride is beautiful, flat, along the enchanting canal with enchanting bike companions.

If you have questions, send Beth and me a line at revrmyers. Hope to see you at 1:30 on August 29!

In Christ’s peace,

Dick and Beth Myers

A call to bring the world together…

immanuelrochester — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:26:52 +0000

"The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect."

It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism, or self-interest, to impoverish, exploit or deny basic rights to anybody, and to incite hatred by denigrating others—even our enemies—is a denial of our common humanity. We acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately and that some have even increased the sum of human misery in the name of religion.

We therefore call upon all men and women ~ to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion ~ to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate ~ to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions and cultures ~ to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity ~ to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings—even those regarded as enemies.

We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community."
