There are just too few institutions that help inspire, train, and nurture progressive activists. That's why I'm so excited about Antioch University New England's Advocacy Program. It's a graduate program that offers in-depth activist training and even connects its graduates into an ongoing support network. I encourage everyone seeking to work as a public interest advocate or a grassroots organizer to check out Antioch's advocacy and organizing program. Eli Pariser, Board President and former Executive Director, MoveOn.Org
If so, learn more about our MS in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainabilitywhere we train students for activist careers as public interest advocates and grassroots organizers working for ecological sustainability, social justice, and the democratic control of corporations. This concentration in Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability will allow you to:
Dig into five key areas.
Our activist training curriculum focuses on 1) ecological literacy and the science of sustainability; 2) big-picture political analysis, vision, and strategy; 3) organizing and advocacy skills; 4) nonprofit management and social entrepreneurship; 5) and personal transformation and self-renewal.
Become a leader.
In this program, you will hone your ability to organize dynamic campaigns that win significant reforms, mobilize increasing numbers of citizens, and build stronger progressive organizations and coalitions. You also learn to be a collaborative nonprofit leader managing people, time, and money in effective and empowering ways.
Learn by doing.
At Antioch University New England, you will develop a strong story to tell future employers. Grounded in your growing knowledge of environmental science and advocacy skills, you engage in two professional internships working directly for activist organizations. You will also have the chance to work with other students to complete a collaborative service project for real-life organizational clients.
Program Delivery
- 42 credits
- Fall & Spring Entry
- Classes 2 days a week plus an internship, or 1 day a week plus weekends

Antioch University New England is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
The concentration in Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability builds on Antioch University New England's long-standing mission to provide transformative education that links the worlds of scholarship and activism. In this program, you will participate in a lively community of learners from around North America to deepen your:
- ecological literacy
- political education
- social action skills
- organization development competencies
- self-knowledge and life-skills for the long haul
We feel such advanced activist training in grassroots organizing and nonprofit advocacy work is particularly needed now. Pushing the next wave of the sustainability movement will require talented, scientifically grounded, and politically savvy activists working to tame the global economy; to promote democratic reform of our political system; to build new coalitions for innovative programs in sustainable community renewal such as Transition Initiatives and campaigns for green collar jobs; and to create a new moral climate that combines a deep ecological concern with a strong commitment to social justice. At the end of two years, you will have earned more than a Master's degree in Environmental Studies, you will have developed the confidence, connections, skills, and insights, to make a significant long-term contribution to advocacy for social justice and sustainability.
The Advocacy Program is a unique gem in the academic world: a values-based training program for effective, progressive leadership. Its flexibility, its relevance to local, regional, national, and international issues, and its holistic approach to analyzing and helping to solve a wide range of environmental, economic, and social problems have made this program an invaluable undertaking. Peter Alexander, MS '04
Eight Key Ideas
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration is defined by eight key ideas:
Committed Values
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration embraces a deep commitment to sustainability, respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, social and economic justice, democracy, nonviolence, and peace. We affirm both the Earth Charter and the Principles of Environmental Justice, which were adopted at the 1991 National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in Washington, DC.
Citizen Action Focus
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration places its primary emphasis on educating current and future leaders, staffers, and volunteers of grassroots and nonprofit advocacy groups. In particular, we stress the skills of organizing, coalition-building, constructive programs, and popular education as the most direct means of building a globally oriented, grassroots movement for sustainability and social justice.
I am so glad that I ended up at Antioch! I don't think there could be a better fit for me anywhere.
Ecological Awareness
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration deepens students' scientific understanding of the earth's ecological systems, environmental vital signs, natural history, and human ecology, including such key issues as peak oil and climate change. It also aids students in understanding key ecological debates, working with scientists and resource managers as allies in advocacy efforts, and interpreting scientific research for the general public.
Critical Thinking
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration looks critically at how environmental destruction and social injustice are rooted in cultural patterns of domination and the way we organize and conduct our economic and political lives. It places particular emphasis on developing a deeper understanding of global political economy, social oppression, and consumer culture.
Becoming Practical Visionaries
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration encourages students to envision desirable and sustainable ways of life, grounded in a broad environmental and social ethic, and made practical through programmatic thinking about creative innovations in our underlying social, political, and economic institutions at local, regional, national, and international levels.
Strategic Savvy
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration helps students deepen their understanding of social action strategies and how to organize powerful grassroots movements that can cooperate effectively on local, regional, national, and transnational levels. Emphasis is placed on social movement history, the dynamics of social power, and "best practices" for our efforts in coalition-building, citizen lobbying, media work, electoral campaigns, nonviolent direct action, and creating alternative institutions.
Sustained Inspiration
The Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration pays attention to the development of the "whole person" and the affective dimensions of social change and personal growth. Emphasis will be placed on spirit, imagination, celebration, connection to the natural world, emotional and artistic expression, building an affirming community, and sharing reflections on the personal challenges we face as advocates. Such work will help students avoid burn-out and foster ways of connecting more meaningfully with each other–and the sources of their own deepest passions–to help sustain them for the long haul.
Empowering Education
Finally, the Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration encourages students and teachers to work together as co-creators and interpreters of the knowledge and skills needed for effective environmental advocacy. Emphasis will be placed on honoring multiple learning styles, posing problems of emerging relevance to students, fostering critical thinking and participatory dialogue, encouraging personal reflection and cooperative learning, supporting student learning initiatives, and integrating theory and practice through field experience and experiential education.

|A great example of some of the course-based community service learning opportunities available to ES advocacy students is the work that students did in our foundation course Organizing for Social Change back in Fall 2010. At the beginning of that semester, a Transition Keene Task Force member asked the class to help with local organizing for 10/10/10, a Global Work Party for Climate Solutions sponsored internationally by 350.org.
The class agreed and then planned and carried out several 10/10/10 related activities including the filming and editing of this 30 minute documentary about all the Keene 10/10/10 work parties, including AUNE's. The students in this organizing class also:
- Raised over $1,010.10 for Antioch's Green Bikes Initiative;
- Hosted a film and discussion on the international Transition Movement for the wider community in the AUNE Library Media Room;
- Organized three bike related workshops on campus for the wider Keene community as well as inspired other AUNE students to have a workparty putting Antioch's community garden to bed for the season and build compost bins; and
- Promoted turn out of Antioch students, faculty, staff, and alumni at the Keene-wide evening climate work parties celebration downtown.
In each of these ways, the students in the Organizing For Social Change class helped Antioch become a key part of 10/10/10 the largest day of global climate activism in world history, involving 7,300 communities in 188 countries. They also learned a lot along the way.
Over the last five decades, there has been exponential growth in the number of social movement organizations, a significant growth in memberships and budgets, and a corresponding growth in the number of paid advocacy positions available. "These jobs are also paid positions with salaries commensurate with social workers, environmental educators, and librarians. According to Harley Jeben's, the author of 100 Jobs in Social Change, most advocates and organizers can also expect to make from $19,000 to $50,000. Some entry level advocacy workers make a little less, and more than a few advocates make significantly more. A survey of advocacy jobs listed in Environmental Opportunities over a six-month period in 2000 confirmed this estimate. The lowest starting salary offered was $18,000 and the highest was $80,000. The average starting salary was $33,500. It all depends on your position, experience, education, locality, and the type of organization you work for." Why Not Work For A Change: An Introduction to Careers in Social Change
First, you work for what you believe in. Advocates have an opportunity to contribute to making their neighborhood or the world a better place. They attack many urgent social problems head-on. Second, most public interest advocates are awarded a great deal of responsibility early in their careers. Third, there is a sense of community and commitment within public interest organizations that comes from working together as social activists. Whether it's playing for the office softball team or just sharing a brown bag lunch with colleagues, you're likely to find philosophically and intellectually compatible people.
According to the national Environmental Careers Organization, environmental organizations today are increasingly looking for well-trained staff members who have strong leadership skills; experience in coalition-building and forming effective alliances and collaborations; the ability to foster an environmental movement that appeals to all Americans, regardless of class, race, and ethnicity; and the political vision to return to the grassroots with the understanding that a concerned, involved, informed, and politically savvy citizenry is essential for environmental success. The AUNE program will equip you with these skills and more.
Eight Areas Where You Can Do Good Work
- Professional public interest advocacy organizations usually work on a single issue or set of issues through research and education, lobbying, litigation, inter-group coalition building, and high-level negotiations with decision-makers.
- Grassroots organizations mobilize specific communities and constituencies to take collective action through community organizing, popular education, community development, alternative institutions, and direct action campaigns.
- Labor unions and professional associations represent and mobilize their members on political, economic, and social issues of interest to members and the public.
- Progressive electoral public policy groups such as third parties, major party caucuses, non-partisan groups, and Political Action Committees.
- Social action training and political education groups work with other advocacy organizations and activists to build up their personal and organizational capacities as advocates and organizers.
- Research and data management organizations help meet the information needs of social movement organizations, often in direct collaboration and sometimes even with the full participation of community and public interest groups.
- Progressive media and cultural groups produce documentaries, radio shows, books and periodicals, web-pages for activists and the public; offer public relations assistance to activist groups seeking to influence the mass media; and create art, music, and theater that inspire activists and the public.
- Progressive, social change philanthropy groups including individual foundations and coordinating groups like National Network of Grantmakers and the Donor Organizers Network.
Crisis, Faith, and Action: A Talk By Steve Chase to the Massachusetts Bible Society
At the February 2012 luncheon of the Massachusetts Bible Society, Quaker Transition activist and Antioch professor Steve Chase addressed the topic of transitioning to a Beloved Community in an era of peak oil, climate change, and a dysfunctional global economy. Among the questions addressed are: some key questions: How can we draw on our faith traditions to resist the pulls of empire and consumerism, and unleash our creativity and love of our neighbors and God's good earth? How can we respond to the challenges of our time with an inspiring vision of Beloved Community in the 21st Century that moves us beyond either denial or despair and helps us cultivate an inward state of blessed unrest and an outward engagement in creative faith-based activism? What can we start doing now to foster a transition to a more livable, just, relocalized, and neighborly post-oil world?
Steve Chase presents at the Psychology-Ecology-Sustainability Conference
Presentation by Steve Chase, PhD at the Psychology-Ecology-Sustainability Conference on the campus of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon on June 9, 2007. The talk is entitled "Creative Maladjustment: Activism as a Way to Heal Self, Society, and Planet." The first few minutes has technical problems, but the talk really gets rolling soon after.
Steve Chase Speaks at Quaker Conference
Click here for this hour-long interview conducted at a Quaker conference at the University of Pittsburgh, Johnstown campus. It aired on a program called Spirit In Action. Steve's episode, "Activating the Activists," is focused on his own activist history and the spiritual roots of his work, and includes lots of information about the EAOP program (now the Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability concentration) and the Department of Environmental Studies Antioch University New England.
The Activist Legacy of Martin Luther King: An Interview with EAOP Director Steve Chase
This 50 minute conversation between Steve Chase and Joseph Gainza, the host of the radio program "Gathering Peace," was originally broadcast on April 1, 2008 by WGDR in Plainfield, VT, just a few days before the 40th Anniversary of MLK's assignation. In it, Steve tells the story of how Martin Luther King became a reluctant activist during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and then discusses King's political evolution over the years, his opposition to the US invasion and occupation of Vietnam, and how contemporary coalitions like Green For All are keeping the legacy of Martin Luther King alive and kicking.
ACT Radio Interviews Steve Chase on Activist Training and the EAOP
ACT Radio, or Animal Concerns of Texas, is broadcast by co-hosts Greg Lawson, Steve Best, and Elizabeth Walsh on KTEP–the NPR station in El Paso. Every other Sunday evening at 7:30, these radio activists offer a unique half-hour radio program in Texas that focuses on animals rights, human health, and related issues such as vegetarianism and environmental activism. In this 2007 Earth Day segment they interview Steve Chase on activist training in general and the Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program in particular. Steve's 23 minute interview starts about 7 minutes into the program, after some news and commentary. (Downloadable MP3 file)

Before you change the world,

George Fox Student Honored by the Scholars' Semester in Oxford Study Abroad Program
"One of my favourite moments at Oxford was a quiet and solemn one. I was sitting in Duke Humphrey's library in the Bodleian (the library where they house the ancient special collections, and also the library where they filmed Harry Potter.) Furiously reading and writing a paper in the middle of term, 1 sat back and sighed in a moment of pure weakness and feeling of defeat. I sank low in my seat, shut the laptop, and closed my eyes. When I re-opened my eyes I was staring at the leather-bound books in front of me. I realized, in that moment, where I was. Looking around at the ancient books that were older than my country, the Latin inscriptions lining the walls of the donors to the library hundreds of years ago, the crests of the schools on the painted wooden ceiling. I sighed again, but this time in awe. I was sitting, frustrated, where many of the worlds' greatest intellectuals have sat frustrated before, as students. I was inspired and uplifted by my surroundings, knowing that I was in a literally awesome place for scholarship. With that, I finished my paper."

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5, NIV)
One Sunday I broke down in tears at a prayer meeting at church and asked what I could do to restore my adult son to me. He had made some chilling decisions and I was powerless to change him. A dear, older woman hurried across the room, sat down beside me and slipped her arm around my shoulder. "Your parenting in the flesh is over," she said softly. "It's time to parent him in the Spirit. Pray for your son and trust God to do what you cannot do — and He will," she added confidently.
I was set free that day. Gradually I began to see that God, who reconciled His relationship to His children through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, would surely give me and all mothers and fathers who asked for it the grace to reconcile our changing relationship with our adult children. I have found that such grace has helped me and others to incorporate three helpful steps into our parenting process. And they work! Today, 20 years after that life-changing day, my son is a fine, responsible adult, who has become one of my dearest friends.
During a discussion about parenting, Chet shared his experience:
"Finally, I'm beginning to see my children in a new way," he said. "Both are married and have kids of their own. I'm amazed at what good, capable people they are. I realize in talking with others that I have not been as encouraging as I could be. I wonder if that's why my daughter seems distant. I feel anxious around her, like neither of us is telling the truth. I want to change that. I need to apologize and tell her how truly proud of her I am. I've been measuring her by my standard instead of seeing her for the beautiful person God created."
Regardless of the past, I believe our children, whatever their age, want to know who we really are. I had occasion to discover this for myself about 15 years ago when my youngest daughter was still in high school. At the time, she was living with her father following our divorce. Unexpectedly, she accepted my invitation to live with me during her two years of junior college. During that time, our relationship took an important turn. We were once again together under the same roof. I had experienced a lot of emotional and spiritual healing by then, so I knew that, finally, I had something to give her — my true self.
There were sweet and loving times, and times of tears and long talks as we walked along the ocean hand-in-hand, cooked and baked together — and shopped! It was also a time of deep inner healing for both of us as we drew closer to the Lord and prayed with each other. By the time she left for her last two years of college in Northern California, I felt our relationship had been restored, and that regardless of what surfaced in the future, we'd be able to face it and deal with it. That has proven true.
If we do the vital inner work necessary to spiritual and emotional parenting, then relinquishing our children will be easier than we might expect. We will no longer feel compelled to use them as a means of working through the unfinished business of our past or as the focus of our future desires.
Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. Consider your own situation. Is the Lord telling you that now is the time for you to take steps to restore your relationship with your children? If so, incline your ears to the words of His mouth (Psalm 78:1). Admit your imperfections and commit them to a perfect God — who will guide, guard and govern your sons and daughters in ways you could never carry out on your own. Then put into action the truths the Lord reveals.
Only with God is it possible to find hope for restoration. It is never too late . . . even now that they're grown. Jesus promised in Mark 10:27, "With God all things are possible." We can count on it!
It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher. Then suddenly they disappear. - Dorothy Evslin
One woman was describing her first grocery shopping trip after her youngest child had left for college. She said she reached into the dairy cooler, pulled out a gallon of milk and suddenly realized she no longer needed that quantity. She burst into tears and had to leave the store without completing her shopping.
If you have recently become empty nesters, you are probably being asked, "What's it like?" or "Are you coping alright?" Many parents begin to become anxious at the thought of an "empty nest" once their youngest child has vacated the home. It is definitely a change in lifestyle, the empty-nest syndrome, but it doesn't have to be negative.
The first thing most empty nesters notice is that the house is quieter. You can get to bed earlier because there's no more loud music, the clatter of young people arriving and leaving, the TV or talking keeping you awake. And it's easier to fall asleep when you're not worrying about whether your teenager will make it home safely. An added benefit — the car is available when you need it!
One extremely noticeable difference is at dinner: you and your spouse alone, facing each other across the table, wondering what to talk about.
In Song of Songs 5:16, his lover calls Solomon her "friend." The empty nest can be a time to become "friends," to renew and deepen your friendship with your spouse. Without interruptions from children, you can have longer and more meaningful conversations. Since you are no longer attending school activities and meetings, you can use evenings to go on dates again. Or you might start traveling by yourselves and rekindle the romance of your pre-parenting years! Another upside is simplified meal preparation (e.g. one meal is enough for two nights of dinners). Eating out can be spontaneous and will cost less.
The empty nest is generally not the same experience for dad as it is for mom, especially if dad is still at his job all day and the mom is primarily a homemaker. For her, the added time can be used to resume or start a career or to pursue hobbies and projects she didn't have time for with children underfoot.
Dads get phone calls from fledglings whenever one of them has a computer problem or needs advice on technology purchases (digital cameras, iPods, cell phones). Moms get the calls during peak emotional times (roommate crises, boyfriend/girlfriend concerns, stress overload). Fortunately, our generation benefits from technology that allows us to stay connected with our children via e-mail, cell phones and Facebook!
You can spend some of your newly-found extra time praying more for your children. Job "would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, 'Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.' This was Job's regular custom" (Job 1:5b, NIV). You might also consider spending more time in ministry, finding new ways to serve the Lord through church or community involvement.
A blessing you may experience is seeing your grown children making responsible choices and wise decisions. Many will see their offspring walking closely with the Lord and making their relationship with Him a priority, even though they no longer dwell at home. You can breathe a sigh of relief when you see your positive influence being lived out in their lives, as Proverbs 22:6 suggests: "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (NIV)
"Alone at last!" you and your spouse exclaimed when the last of your kids flew the coop to take on such formerly alien concepts as rent, utility bills and car payments. But wait. Who's that familiar face coming up the walk with suitcases in hand? It's your grown progeny!
These days, many so-called "empty nesters" now find themselves with at least one grown child living at home. Some pundits refer to these adult children as the "boomerang" generation. Whatever you label them, they're returning home in record numbers. Some come back hoping to save money for school. Others return so they can take time to search for the perfect job. Still others may have personal problems and need a refuge.
If you and your spouse find yourselves hosting kids you thought were launched, there are practical steps you and your child can take to minimize conflict and maximize the opportunity to strengthen family bonds. Before any move-in takes place, have a family powwow to discuss mutual expectations and establish house rules. Do this as early as possible to help prevent misunderstandings and friction later on.
If you don't approve of overnight guests, blaring stereos, bad language, questionable religious practices, the use of drugs or alcohol, etc., then make those expectations clear before your son or daughter moves in. Depending on the child and the circumstances, you might want to draft a brief "contract" naming the conditions that must be met in order to live under your roof. Have your son or daughter indicate by signature that they agree to your terms. Inform them (lovingly) that if the rules are broken, eviction may follow.
Ask questions. How long does your son or daughter envision staying with you? What would you both consider reasonable rent? If rent is not an issue, how will he/she contribute to the cost of food and household expenses? What chores will they be expected to carry out? The rules for your grownup kids will be different than when you were rearing them.
Generally speaking, curfews aren't appropriate for an adult. As long as your grown child acts responsibly (holding a job, contributing financially or helping with meal preparation and household chores), he deserves the same liberty to come and go as any adult. Respect his personal boundaries and preferences.
Of course, some situations are more complicated. You don't want to enable a grown child who's looking to avoid adult responsibilities. If your daughter seems a little too comfortable at home, setting a move-out deadline (and sticking to it) may be necessary. Knowing the clock is ticking at the "Mom and Pop Hotel" may be just the motivation she needs to get serious in her job search.
What about an adult child with more serious problems? If your son or daughter shows symptoms of mental or emotional illness, is doing drugs or shows signs of an addiction, intervention may be the only option. Don't be afraid to seek help from a qualified Christian counselor, mental health agency or other trained professional.
Generally speaking, most kids are just looking for a temporary retreat while figuring out their next step. If you want to maintain a healthy relationship with your adult child, consider these tips:
We all need a refuge from time to time in our lives. Your kids should know that home is a safe, accepting place to land when they need to regroup. Be thankful that your kids like you enough to want to come home. Your dream of an empty nest can wait a bit longer. Besides, you may actually enjoy this chance to relate to your children as grownups — just like you.
Your son or daughter is now an adult, living comfortably in a decent home with a strong, healthy marriage and a couple of great kids. You should feel a sense of accomplishment, but there's something missing from your child's life — a commitment to God.
"You want the best for your adult children, but you also know you can't tell them how to live," explains Dr. Alan Nelson, psychiatrist and family therapist. "You cannot make that decision for them."
Psychiatrist Lee Bishop says rejection of faith sometimes stems from childhood trauma, such as physical abuse by a significant "Christian." However, many influences affect the spiritual direction of a child, including friends and society.
"The faith of childhood, although genuine, is a simpler faith," he explains. "If they don't have the resources externally and internally, as they mature they will find [their childhood faith] is inadequate for the storms of life [and reject it]."
Nelson cautions over-50 parents not to push the faith issue. "The child needs to know when he sees you that he won't get a lecture or concerned look," he says. "Try to maintain an honest relationship in other areas without pushing that one. And, still pray for intervention."
Also, it's not a good idea to assist God by asking a sibling to get involved. "The parent can tell other siblings about the situation and ask for prayer," Nelson says. "But adult children don't want to be manipulated. [Asking siblings to get involved] may build the wall higher."
There are a few steps you can take that still respect the faith boundary, Bishop notes. "A parent can talk about their own struggles with the faith," he offers. "It allows them to be in more of an adult-to-adult relationship."
Share a book that's helped you, Bishop adds, but offer it in a discreet manner, not at a family function where attention may be focused on the son or daughter. And give it without pressuring the child to read it today. Say something like, "This book helped me and when you get a chance, I thought you might like it too." Writing a letter is also a good way to share your feelings in a manner that's safe.
Inviting the adult child to a Sunday service, Bible class or special church event is a possibility, too, Bishop says. "There are fathers who've used a Promise Keepers event as a way to develop dialogue with an adult son," he explains.
Don't spend a lot of time beating yourself up over parenting mistakes you've made. Acknowledge those errors to yourself, to God and to your children. Also, don't let yourself become embittered against God because you feel He has failed.
"The heavenly father hates to see any of his children leave their relationship with Him," Nelson says. "He'll use the Holy Spirit, an angel, a sermon, a life accident, a song, some other human being, but in the final result, you'll be able to look back and say God left no stone unturned to reach that person."
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
Jennifer laid a plate of homemade cookies in the center of a sheet of holiday gift-wrap. She looked at her friend Betty, who was busy wrapping loaves of gingerbread and fruitcake. "My stomach is churning," said Jennifer. "I know I should be grateful that Mom and Aunt Helen are coming for Christmas but I'm more anxious than thankful." She pointed to a family portrait on the dining room wall. "Tom and Mom have never liked one another and Aunt Helen claims she can't stand to be in the same room with Tom's dad, Bill." Jennifer sat down and propped her elbows on the kitchen table. She looked at Betty, hoping for a sympathetic response.
Betty let out a long breath. "I know what you're talking about. I have a similar situation with my sister. Nancy lives alone and likes to do things her way. She can't seem to go with the flow when we're all together. I feel obligated to include her for Christmas dinner but I'm not happy about it."
If this scenario sounds familiar, you may be feeling similar emotions — fear, anxiety, even dread — about getting together with some of your family members. I experience the same with one branch of our family tree. We have repeatedly invested our time, money, labor and love into the life of this family and have been frustrated by the lack of response of any kind.
Finally, after 20 years of the same behavior, my husband and I decided to set boundaries for ourselves. We now limit our visits to short periods, send one family gift at Christmas, greeting cards for birthdays and we limit the number of get-togethers in our home. We've accepted the relationship as it is and have stopped working so hard to change it. That decision alone has lessened the stress. It also has helped us keep them in our lives and remain a part of theirs — without taking their behavior or comments personally.
June O'Connor, professor of religious studies at the University of California in Riverside, in an article titled "Ready For Reconciliation?" for Catholic Digest (December, 2007, page 110) reminds readers that "Although we cannot force change to happen, we can continue to hope, and we can pray that the other's heart, too, might be softened…"
This statement has challenged me to go a step further when my husband and I are together with these family members who, for us, are difficult to be with. The author has helped me raise my "compassion quotient," remembering that I don't have all the facts about other people. I don't know their challenges or fears, their concerns and worries, their likes and dislikes. And I must also accept the possibility that these people simply may not want to be with me! When that appears to be true, then I am being disrespectful if I keep pushing for time together.
On the other hand, such individuals may feel insecure. If I sense that, I can pray for discernment, asking God what small gesture I can make to help them feel welcome and comfortable. For example, at a family birthday party one year I befriended a woman whom many overlooked due to a severe hearing impairment. I sat with her, talked as best I could and we shared the meal together. Later that week I received a handwritten note thanking me for taking time to be with her when no one else had. I saw how one small loving act could mean so much to another person — and to me, as well.
With these examples in mind, how can you make family get-togethers less stressful? Here are some ideas to consider and practice:
Give the other person the benefit of the doubt and express love and courtesy regardless of how you are treated. The old cliché Kill 'em with kindness holds true. Smile, nod, acknowledge what's said and show interest.
Choose joy despite the circumstances. The event will be over in a few hours or days and you can then resume your life. Don't allow anyone to steal your good will and well-being. Trust the Lord to cover your time together. If difficult people are in your home for an extended period, give yourself some time off. Grocery shop alone, get up early and take a walk, excuse yourself for an afternoon nap. If you work outside your home, you have those hours away from the stress.
Ask questions. People love to talk about themselves. Find a point of interest and explore it with one or two individuals. This is a good way to learn more about other people and to distract them from disrupting the get-together with hurtful or difficult behavior.
Provide opportunities for your guests to participate according to their skill and interest — setting the table, leading a game, reading a poem or prayer over the meal and so on. People like to be useful. When they are involved they are less likely to grab the spotlight. One woman learned that her mother-in-law, who is most comfortable in the kitchen, creates less havoc when she has a job to do. For years now, the older woman has been in charge of whipping the potatoes, tossing a fruit salad and setting out the cakes and cookies at family celebrations. The grandchildren tell her, "We can't wait to eat your whipped potatoes. They're the best." The stress when Grandma's around has nearly disappeared, now that she feels useful.
Limit the amount of time you're together and stick to it. Set a time frame, whether the gathering is at your house or you're the guest in someone else's home. When you reach that point, excuse yourself gracefully. You have the right to come and go as you please. Others have the same right.
Keep a sense of humor. Laughter is a great antidote to stress. If someone criticizes or bullies you about something you say or do, take a breath, ask God for grace and respond in a playful way. "Thank you. I'll keep that in mind for next time." "I wish I had your leadership skills." "I look forward to our get-together at your house. You sound as if you have some great ideas." Such statements acknowledge the other person, while retaining your sense of self.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5, NIV). Remind yourself that God created every one of us no matter how difficult we may seem to one another — and He loves us unconditionally. If God can put up with you and me, surely we can put up with the people who annoy and frustrate us. And perhaps one day we will even grow to love them as we hope they will one day love us.
Talking about end-of-life decisions and final wishes would probably never be ranked by anyone as the most pleasurable or anticipated conversation. But those conversations between parents and their adult children are among the most critical of family discussions. It is also among the most unselfish and loving things that one generation can do for another.
I suggest that the parents initiate the conversation. It is a mature thing to do, and is a life-gift to their adult children, who will be eternally grateful. If, however, it is the adult children who take the initiative, I encourage the parents to honor the request, and then share as much information as possible about their preparations and personal desires for the inevitable end of life. Many midlife-and-beyond people have told me that when one generation opens that sometimes scary door into their most personal wishes, their children will open up to ask questions and share their own thoughts.
As recently as the 1970s, a majority of the older generation would not think of discussing the inevitability of death with their adult children. Many considered it a burden that their children should not have to bear. However, more folks are realizing it is a natural and necessary way of alleviating pain, misunderstandings and of bringing considerable peace of mind for the whole family. Men especially would not think of discussing intimate details about their financial situation, about medical intervention at urgent junctures or the funeral. They consider it inappropriate, even with their wives, let alone their adult children. On the flip side, adult children seldom initiate the conversation with their parents. Some consider it disrespectful. Many just want to hide from the truth that their parents will eventually die.
Fortunately, in the 2000s, that trend is reversing, for myriad reasons. There are countless resources outlining the importance of end-of-life discussions. They're readily available in doctor's offices, at your church, through your attorney, banker or financial advisor. The topic is explored in helpful and frank ways in the media, on websites, in newsletters and seminars.
If you haven't been to a doctor's office or hospital in a while, you may be surprised to learn that the standard questionnaire you fill out now includes questions like:
Another reason for increased disclosure is that people are living much longer, and medicine has become so advanced that people can be kept alive for years beyond their ability to function with any kind of normalcy. And finally, parents and the children themselves are hearing stories of the benefits of open communication years prior to mother's or dad's death. Not every parent dies of old age and unexpected things happen, so the earlier the conversation can take place, the better.
My passion for this subject comes from firsthand experience. I'd like to give you a rather personal peek into our own family situation.
My parents were among those who considered the subject of their finances, details about their estate and funeral arrangements pretty much off limits to my brother, sisters and me even though we were at midlife ourselves. They just had a trusting attitude that everything would work out when the time came. After all, we were a loving family, so there would be no problems among the siblings. And our parents thought that maybe their wishes were not the most important thing. That was a hallmark of a generation born in the early 1900s. They were middle class people who had provided as best they could for their future. But then an unexpected illness, a nursing home stay and a bill for $250,000 — following an emergency helicopter transport and a 45-day hospital stay — turned their lives on end.
In 1987, our father, never sick more than three days in his life, was suddenly stricken by an aortic aneurism. His doctor pronounced his death as imminent, but thankfully, the Lord had something else in mind, and we brought him home. I was the youngest child, and as so often is the case, both my mother and father's well-being and care became my primary job and I moved in with them.
At first, the crisis was one of health, but quickly it became more complicated. I knew little about their true financial situation. It was just assumed that the eldest child would handle things when the time came for major health, financial and life issues that would accompany our parents growing old. But she was in a different state, and her husband was very ill himself. So I was thrown into the unknown in the middle of chaos. One learns quickly when there's no other alternative than to learn and act.
But if we could do it over, I know we would all prepare more adequately. Were they debt-free? What bills needed to be taken care of immediately? Did they either one have a will, a living will? Did their banker or attorney know their true situation? Would we have to help sell our father's business? What did their health and life insurance look like? Could they even remain in their own home? With their death predicted by their doctors to occur in the near future, we all realized that they had not told us, and we had naively not asked them, about their preparation, nor their wishes, for the end of their lives.
Our mother, who suffered with the ravages of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, had been much more open than our father about her wishes. For example, she didn't want to be cremated. She wanted a vault around her casket. We knew her doctor personally. And, she had already either given her children and grandchildren many of her special possessions, or they had earlier identified those things that would be given them upon her death. But, she had no will at the time, no living will, no power of medical attorney and very little knowledge of their actual financial position, since our father had handled those details.
I held her in my arms as she took her final breath. Her last words were in the form of a question that I never had time to answer before she died. I realized at that moment that had we openly discussed years ago the subject she now probed too late in life, she and I would both have had greater peace.
During the last few years of their lives, we lived in the same house and had precious time to talk. Even then I sometimes had to probe harder than I would have liked to discover their deepest end-of-life wishes so we could respectfully carry them out.
Unfortunately, many families never get the chance to do that — all because the parents and their adult children are too uncomfortable, too busy, too stubborn or too ill-informed about the importance of exploring life-end decisions, while parents and children are both living and competent.
Some families sometimes find it easier to entreat a third party to be present when discussing these issues: a trusted friend, a pastor, a doctor, an elder-care attorney or even a mediator, if there are rough spots in the relationship between parents and children or siblings. This discussion is not always easy. But the eternal consequences of not communicating about this time in life that we all will face, negatively outweighs the frequent stress and discomfort that surround these conversations.
One of the biggest and sometimes overlooked bonuses is that subsequent generations will find it easier to communicate with their own parents when the time comes, because they've clearly seen and experienced the benefits. We can be mature role models for our grandchildren and their children.
I promise you will never regret your decision to intentionally engage your adult children in one of the most important and compassionate conversations of your life. Purposefully taking the reins, even if you would rather have a root canal than do so, just may turn out to be the best gift you could ever give your adult children — and one that will just keep on giving from generation to generation.
If you've ever heard the words "I'm gay" from a son or daughter, the announcement probably came as the shock of a lifetime. You likely cycled through an entire catalog of extreme emotions: shock, disbelief, anger, guilt. Then came the questions for you and your spouse: Why did this happen? Where did we fail? And how do we as Christians and loving parents respond to our child's proclaimed homosexuality?
Stephen Arterburn, best-selling author and respected Christian psychologist, says many parents of homosexual children withhold love and affection because they're afraid to appear approving of the gay lifestyle. The truth is that your child needs unconditional love and acceptance more than ever. Withholding love will only make a difficult situation worse. Remember that acceptance is not the same thing as approval. Acceptance means acknowledging what is true. It does not mean you must compromise your convictions about what constitutes right and wrong, nor does it mean you condone homosexual behavior and practices.
Chances are your son or daughter wrestled long and hard with the decision to confess their homosexuality to you. They braced for judgment and rejection. That's why it's all the more important you let them know they are valued and loved as much as ever.
You should feel comfortable stating your concerns about the morality, health risks and potential dangers involved with the gay lifestyle. But don't belabor things. It's especially important that whatever statements you make be couched in love. The important message remains: I love you and accept you — that will never change.
You may feel hurt by your child's decision to "come out." But remember, this is not something they have done "to" you. Their homosexuality is not something they conjured up to purposely embarrass or punish you. It's most likely been a painful secret they've kept hidden for years precisely because they feared you would be hurt. This is your child's struggle, your child's wound. As a loving parent — and a Christian — you must be mature and courageous. Now is the time to show your child the same grace and unconditional love that Jesus shows to all of us who struggle with sin in our lives. Pray for wisdom, understanding and the right words to say in this difficult and delicate situation.
Withholding love from your hurting child will only make a difficult situation worse. You may feel hurt by your child's decision to "come out." But remember, this is not something they have done "to" you.

text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted April 17, 2013 By Graham Egan This Day in History: The Bay of Pigs Invasion At a cabinet meeting John F. Kennedy made several attempts to spell decisions. The Kennedy Library does not have sufficient information to determine the date of the meeting, although we suspect it was either during meetings on the Bay of Pigs or the Cuban Missile Crisis. Courtesy of NARA, PD. Today's guest post is by Graham Egan, a 2012-2013 Miller Center Student Ambassador and a Third Year Government Major in the Woodrow Wilson Department of Politics a the University of Virginia. Today marks the 52nd Anniversary of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. In the early hours of April 17, 1961, a brigade of approximately 1,500 Cuban exiles landed at Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) on Cuba's southern coast, initiating an attempt to overthrow the Communist regime of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The invasion was the culmination of an increasingly acrimonious situation, one that had been heightened three months earlier when the Eisenhower Administration closed the American embassy in Havana and severed diplomatic relations with the island nation. Although they were funded, armed, and trained by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency, the Cuban exile force was quickly overwhelmed and defeated by Castro's revolutionary army in 3 days. More than 100 of the rebels were killed and 1,200 were captured. The operation was a terrible debacle and a very public embarrassment for the nascent Kennedy Administration. The CIA first conceived of the plan to overthrow the Castro regime early in 1960. Cuban-American relations had been deteriorating since the Castro regime had seized power during the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Fearing the anti-American rhetoric of the regime and the potential rise of communism so close to US borders, the latter of which was heightened when Cuba signed a trade treaty with the Soviet Union in 1960, President Eisenhower approved the plan on March 17th, 1960. Shortly after, the Eisenhower administration began financing and training a group of anti-Castro exiles in Guatemala. The primary objective of the invasion, as stated in a top-secret policy paper entitled "A Program of Covert Action Against the Castro Regime," was to "bring about the replacement of the Castro regime with one more devoted to the true interests of Cuban people and more acceptable to the U.S. in such a manner to avoid any appearance of U.S. intervention."

Leadercast was born from a leadership development conference created by author John C. Maxwell in 2000 as an avenue for personal and organizational growth for business, civic and religious leaders who may not otherwise be able to hear from authors, CEOs, cabinet-level policymakers and more.
Sponsored by Cartersville Chick-fil-A and Peachtree Planning, the Leadercast will for the first time be available in Cartersville streaming live at the Clarence Brown Conference Center. Cartersville Chick-fil-A Operator Glen Jordon hopes to share the power of leadership development that he witnessed in his own business.
"When I saw the quality of the speakers, I thought, 'Wow, I don't think I can go another year without trying to let the people in our community see some of the folks that are easily accessible through this event,'" Jordon said. "In the past, Rome has had an event at Berry College and other operators in Canton and Kennesaw had events, but I didn't know many people here that were taking advantage of it.
"In my business, over the last 20 years, it has shifted from me focusing on doing everything, to me focusing on developing people to do everything. It's like there was a lid on my potential until I really trusted other people and started trying to attract a higher quality person."
Leadercast 2013 speakers participating in the May 10 simulcast presentation include: former chairman and CEO of General Electric Jack Welch, author and pastor Andy Stanley, head men's basketball coach for Duke University and Team USA Mike Kryzewski, author John C. Maxwell, Navy SEAL Rorke Denver, Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
With the leadership development tools he has learned from teachers and coaches, like those participating in Leadercast, Jordon has created a leadership team he can lean on in times of crisis and that he knows will excel when faced with an opportunity. The problem of leadership burnout was one he admits has historically plagued the fast food industry.
"I've heard someone say, 'If you're too busy, you have a leadership problem and if you have a leadership problem then you really have a leadership development problem.' Because there are tons of people out there that are qualified and capable of leading, but they don't go places that don't invest in them," he said. "Instead of just throwing a line out there and saying, 'Hey, we need someone to lead.' I'm trying to convince folks in the community that if they'll develop a culture of leadership where they invest in people through books, articles and conferences like this, then they won't have a leadership problem because leaders will be attracted to them."
Tickets can be purchased online at www.chick-fil-aleadercast.com for $69.99 or day of at the door for $79.99, but space is limited. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the conference lasting from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Lunch is included with the price of admission.
While the live event is taking place in Atlanta, home of Chick-fil-A corporate headquarters, Cartersville Chick-fil-A Marketing Director Elizabeth Womack is working to make sure local guests feel like they are watching the event live.
"We're going to make it as much like a live event as we can. Tom [Shinall of the T.C. Show] is going to emcee, we're going to have door prizes, we'll be giving away some of the books of authors in it, we're going to have vendor tables. We're just going to do all we can to make it feel like a live event," Womack said. "The driving force is that Glen's passion is helping leaders develop and this was a great opportunity because everything Chick-fil-A does is just done so well. We knew we could get in on this and it would be a great opportunity to help others be the best they can be."

Paola Gianturco
Mill Valley, California
After 35 years in marketing and corporate communications, I decided to take a sabbatical. My idea was that for one year, I would do only the things I loved most and wanted to learn next. I loved photography and travel. And I wanted to learn about women in the developing world. Those passions led me to create a book. I had no idea how much fun that project would be and I never went back. I've now documented women's lives in 40 countries.
My books are a legacy that provides a revenue stream to organizations that are doing important work. I am donating 100 percent of my royalties from the newest book, Women Who Light the Dark, to the Global Fund for Women.
Creating In Her Hands, Craftswomen Changing the World, Toby Tuttle and I documented women artisan's income-generation projects in 12 countries. I observed that women around the world were working on additional, complicated problems -- it wasn't just income poverty that made life difficult. It was also disease, discrimination, domestic violence, sex trafficking, illiteracy, malnutrition and lack of education. Women were-and are -- fighting to find ways to diminish these issues for their families. I wanted to make their work more visible.
Women Who Light the Dark features 23 organizations in 15 countries, 18 of which are grantees of the Global Fund. The groups are working on the most intractable issues that face women and their families-the issues that make life dark. Their perseverance, abilities, resourcefulness and imaginations light the dark. They are succeeding, and they are inspiring.
I have been an enthusiastic donor to the Global Fund for a dozen years but visiting 18 grantees showed me exactly how effective local women can be if they have the funds to do what they know should be done. Everywhere, I saw grassroots groups developing creative strategies -- their own solutions -- and being impressively capable of resolving the difficulties they face.
My dream about Women Who Light the Dark is that readers will give money through organizations like the Global Fund for Women -- and enable local women everywhere to make life better for their families, communities, countries, and our world.

The Rolling Stones Finally Announce 2012 Shows
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
As expected, the Rolling Stones announced two shows for London's O2 Arena and Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center. The shows, which are part of the band's 50 And Counting dates, will take place on November 25th and 29th in London and December 13th and 15th in Newark. A pay-per-view screening of the December 15th show will be distributed by World Wrestling Entertainment as One More Shot, and broadcast live the night of the concert. The Stones last performed in public on October 6th, 2006 when they wrapped their massive A Bigger Bang Tour in Regina, Saskatchewan's Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field.
To the dissapointment of hard-core fans, former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor are not -- officially -- a part of the upcoming shows, but the band's video teaser -- featuring Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood -- did promise "a few friends joining us."
Despite the fact that the band is playing Newark, New Jersey -- not a New York venue -- Mick Jagger said in the announcement: "Everybody loves a celebration, and London and New York are two good places to do it in!"
Keith Richards added: "Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is over. I've always said the best place for rock n' roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones. I'm here with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie and everything is rocking. See you very soon!
The ticket prices for the Newark shows run from somewhat fair to the ridiculous, with only two tiers of tickets available -- $95.00 plus $19.80 in service fees coming out to $114.80 and $750.00 plus $63.00 in fees coming out to $813.00. Without adding in the service fees in the UK, the tickets for the Stones' O2 shows range in price from $152.60 to $602.50.
The general on sale for the Newark shows is set for October 26th, with V.I.P. Hospitality Packages going on sale on October 20th, and the American Express pre-sale happening on October 22nd.
The Prudential Center, which opened in 2007, seats 19,500 for concerts -- that's 500 less seats than Madison Square Garden.
Bill German's BeggarsBanquetOnline.com posted an update on the band: "Right now, they're rehearsing in Paris, running through Jagger-Richards classics like 'Let It Bleed,' 'Lady Jane' and 'The Last Time,' as well as Lennon & McCartney's 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and the Otis Redding nugget 'Dock Of The Bay.' They've also been rehearsing their two new numbers, 'Doom And Gloom' and 'One More Shot,' which will appear on next month's greatest hits package, GRRR!"
German went on to add, "There's word that there'll be a non-seating area -- a standing pit at the front of the stage (ala Bruce Springsteen's last few tours) -- in the shape of the band's tongue logo."
Mick Jagger told us that whether they're playing a sweaty, smoky club or a 60,000 seat stadium -- about a third of the Stones' setlist has to be devoted to their legendary hits: "I figure there's about 10 songs that if you don't play them, people are gonna say, 'I wish they'd a played. . .' So, y'know, they're paying, y'know, good money to come and see you, and I don't see why you should disappoint them, just being difficult, 'I don't wanna play "Brown Sugar."' I mean, because they probably wanna hear it. I quite enjoy playing 'Brown Sugar,' but sometimes you don't want to. But anyway, there's about 10 of those."
On the "Ask Keith" section of his website (KeithRichards.com), Keith Richards explained that he has no interest in changing the arrangements of the Stones' greatest songs: "A lot of these things are in their time, and they belong where they belong. And to fiddle about with them and treat them as, y'know, they're 'Mona Lisa's,' or something would be pointless. All the big ones and the best ones that everybody knows, we'll leave them as they are. Y'know, I won't recall nothing and say, 'We shoulda done this or shoulda done that.' Y'know, 'cause they're in their time and space. That's where they are."
Ron Wood told us that at this point, the Stones are sailing in uncharted waters: "We notice that we're cutting new ground, y'know, in that no bunch of guys have ever stuck together this long in the rock n' roll field."
Charlie Watts admits that he's never even considered the Rolling Stones to be an institution: "I don't look at the Rolling Stones like that. Y'know, it just. . . they're a group of people that I know that become the Rolling Stones when they get together. Something happens around us when we play that is either magic, or (a) catastrophe -- whichever way you look at it. It always has done and I assume it always will."
