The \u201cstraw that broke the camel\u2019s back\u201d was the Michael Brown incident in Ferguson, Missouri. APUCC began a discussion on how to bring more public attention to this situation and try to cool public tension on this unfortunate. Several slogans were discussed and we decided on one for a \u201cbutton campaign\u201d. \u00a0\u201cALL LIVES MATTER\u201d was the winner. This project is a passion of Gloria Olson and she went to Via Delia in Bend and personally paid for a bundle\/variety of \u201cALL LIVES MATTER.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you Gloria!!\u00a0\u00a0 We passed around the buttons and took some to hand out.<\/p>\n As I was reading The Bend Bulletin<\/em> on Sunday, December 28, 2014, the political cartoon caught my eye. It centered on ALL LIVES MATTER!!\u00a0\u00a0 I contacted Jack Ohrman, the cartoonist who works for the Sacramento Bee<\/em>, a northern California newspaper. I told him of our button project and I would like to use his cartoon on our church website as part of our button campaign, because of the phrase, subject matter, and timing of the public violence situation. He said yes and thanks for asking. He also asked me to send him a button. The button is in the mail\u2026.\u00a0\u00a0 An ironic side point, Jack worked for The Oregonian<\/em>, for twenty eight years. And of course we had a short \u201cOregon\u201d discussion.<\/p>\n Below left is the political cartoon Mike saw and the buttons Gloria designed on the right.<\/p>\n Jack Ohrman’s editorial cartoon from December 28, 2014<\/p><\/div>\n A button we can proudly wear<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n December 21, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Liz suggested that the lead Opinion article this day in The Bend Bulletin gives us food for thought in Advent.\u00a0 The article titled “How to Have a Happy Holiday: Abundance Without Attachment” is by Arthur Brooks and was published in The New York Times.\u00a0 Here is the link to the article:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.bendbulletin.com\/opinion\/2694494-151\/opinion-how-to-have-a-happy-holiday-abundance<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following are submissions from members of All Peoples United Church of Christ that spoke to each of the persons who submitted the item.\u00a0 Many of them reflect opinions and items that are significant to the congregation and individual members … Continue reading ![\"All](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.allpeoples-ucc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/LivesMatterCartoon.jpg?resize=325%2C238&ssl=1\")
