Well, things are back to normal around here, so, barring unforeseen circumstances, the website should be back to Wednesday updates. Here’s this week’s:
That should be it! See everyone next week!

I think that does it. Thanks for your patience! As always, if you need anything on the website, drop me an email and I’ll get to it as soon as I can!

Ahhh…it’s so nice to be back into the regular flow of things –Well, at least until Summer Vacation, when I’ll once again be forced to steal my computer back from the kids every week!

Until next week!

The 25th Annual Circle City Pride Festival is June 1-June 8. I hope to see lots of people there Standing on the Side of Love in support of the LGBT community! UUI marches in the parade every year, so if you want to do that, you can contact them for more information. Otherwise, show up in your yellow SSL shirts and watch from the sidelines, and then enjoy the Festival afterwards!

It’s Spring Break, so the weekly update is running a little late. (What, did you think my kids let me have the computer while they’re home?) But, anyway, without further ado, here’s this week’s updates:
Well, I think that’s about it. Until next week!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Website Wednesday! There weren’t that many updates this week, and before I get into them, I’d like to point you to our Facebook page, where many awesome pictures of our very successful auction were posted by Dan and Amy Eller. Thanks for the pictures, folks! After you’ve checked out the pictures, here are this week’s updates:
So, there you go! Hope everyone has a great week, and I’ll see them here again next Wednesday!
Last Credo we talked about how our culture is a breeding ground for rape and what to do about “rape culture”. We discussed the portrayal of one gender being weaker than the other. We also talked about how young people, especially males are pressured into seeking sexual experience as a measure of self worth, of what it means to be a man. How do you be there for the victim while making sure the accused receives proper due process. How do you maintain un-biased when you find such a situation between two people you would trust without hesitation? These are some of the things we talked about and which may be the subject for our next Credo session- but which may be subject to change. If you have not yourself been a victim you likely know someone who has and the discussion was not without some very personal feelings, memories and struggles. It was pointed out that men are also raped from time to time and that men’s shelters are often nonexistent. It was also brought up that many shelters, while they do infact provide shelter are tainted by social taboo, with women often being directly or indirectly encouraged to go back to there abusers. Arguments such as “God’s disapproval of divorce” and “you can change him”. Lastly we talked about how in many tribal cultures the women, especially the elders are the family and can and how raping the women of the clan dis-empowers a whole people are already struggling to maintain some sense of identity.
There are no words here to explain the impact rape has on not only victims but their families, rippling out across many generations- and so, for entry I would would like to share a video with all of you.
