Without a vision, we become directionless. With a too structured agenda, we succumb to worry and busyness. Read Bruce Epperly’s answer to poet Mary Oliver’s question, ““What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

In my first piece in this series (March 2022), I began with a quote from United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold (1953-1961), whose book Markings I read each year, either on New Year’s Day or my Fall birthday. This year I read it on my seventieth birthday.

Retirement is a time of harvest. A joyful retirement is a time in which a lifetime of growth, integrity, and learning is coming to fruition. A time in which we can look forward to new planting, new growth, new fruit, and new harvests.

New York, Sept. 16, 2022 – United Church Funds (UCF) and The Pension Boards–United Church of Christ (PBUCC), both ministries related to the United Church of Christ, announced today that as the result of their joint shareholder resolution filed this past April, FedEx Corporation has agreed to enhance public disclosure of its climate lobbying activities – including its membership in trade associations with significant climate policies – so as to better inform shareholders of whether those activities and memberships align with the Paris Agreement of 2015.
The Pension Boards was pleased to host Ms. Anna-Nicole Heinrich, the President of the Synod of the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD), and Executive Assistant, Jonathan Renau, in their New York offices recently.
Elected in 2021, Ms. Heinrich, at 26, is the youngest person to hold the office in the history of the EKD. “As president of the EKD Synod, I stand for a hopeful, integrating, and pragmatic church that is always reviving itself,” she said in her introductory speech upon her election. Previously a youth delegate to the synod, she studied philosophy at the University of Regensburg and is vice-chair of the Protestant Youth in Germany.
