Nevada Interfaith Association Acknowledges Fire Damage to Red Rock Sanctuary

Below is a copy of an article from the Nevada Interfaith Association



 

 

 

International Community of Christ Needs your Help 
On Sunday, August 9th, the Bug Fire, north of Reno reached the ICC Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary, causing major damage.The “Chapter House,” which housed three of our ministers, was totally destroyed. Seven other buildings were lost, including a large utility shed containing tools, supplies, a 30kw generator, and a small maintenance office. Two ministers also lost their vehicles.

Many hundreds of juniper trees — some as old as five hundred years — were consumed by the flames.

Fortunately, the Cathedral Church of the Americas remains, as do all of the churches and shrines in the greater sanctuary area.  The parsonage, which houses the Reverends Robert and Noriko Roy and their son, was thankfully saved.

We are reaching out to the wider faith community for assistance in the rebuilding process. Rebuilding what was lost and restoring this special place will be a tremendous undertaking, and we cannot do it alone. The first step is debris removal. If someone in your congregation has faced this situation before and can share information with us, we would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if anyone in your community has contacts in local or state government who may be able to help us or if they have experience seeking disaster relief grants, including writing grants, we would appreciate you contacting us.

Now for the big ask: we are seeking funds through a GoFundMe page. Funds raised will go toward helping to replace essential belongings and housing for those who lost everything and toward beginning the recovery process by addressing immediate needs caused by the fire.

Do not be a Mean Man

“A mean man is one who walks in unmanly ways; he has womanly weaknesses, much magnified, without womanly virtues. He forever seeks faults in the ways of the wise and the good.

“He lacks generosity and compassion; he winnows the dust off his storehouse floor to save a few dirty grains. The heart of a mean man is as the sands of the wilderness, which swallow up all the pleasant flowers that fall and bring forth nothing in return.

“He who rises eagerly to claim praise for a successful undertaking and just as readily casts blame on another when it goes awry, is not only mean, but also a weakling and a hypocrite unto himself.

“None is worse than the mean man who has riches and estate, for he rides heavily on the backs of his servants and waxes fat on the sweat of their brows.

“He is without compassion or feeling, and the ruin of his brother brings him no sorrow. For the increase in his riches, he secretly rejoices in the death of his father; but the mean man, being also hypocritical,

will be loudest in lamentation.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:14:1-5)

The Mean Man Seeks Faults

A mean person seeks faults in the ways of the wise. A smart person will try to emulate the wise, but a weak or mean person criticizes instead. As a result, the mean person makes little progress, especially on the spiritual side of life.

He lacks Compassion

The mean person lacks compassion for others. He doesn’t help a neighbor who needs assistance. He does not give to a charity unless he gets publicity for doing so, which means he is feeding his ego rather than being generous. As the quote says, the heart of the mean person is like the sands that swallow up the flowers. Fortunately, this does not stop the flowers from blooming. Of course, this is about allegorical flowers, namely, good people.

Claims Praise

Mean people do love to claim praise for any successful undertaking, even if it is of no real significance. On the other hand, such people are quick to put down the accomplishments of others, no matter how great they may be. As the quote says, such a person is a weakling and a hypocrite. Sadly, there are many such people in the world today.

The Rich Man

A mean person who has riches today may not ride on the back of his servants, but instead, what we see today is that the wealthy pay workers as little as they can get away with, while they claim most of the profit for themselves.

Ruin of His Brother

The mean person does not feel sorrow at the ruin of his brother or sister. Instead, he tried to use it as an opportunity to claim what his brother left behind. This goes not just for actual brothers and sisters, but all of our neighbors.

So do not be a mean person. Show compassion, generosity, and love. That is what god wants all of us to do.




“JWST finds three feeding black holes packed into one early galaxy”

 

 

 

 

  • Three actively feeding supermassive black holes appear to share one galaxy seen as it existed about 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang.
  • JWST detected their fast-moving hydrogen gas, including two central black holes separated by only about 190 light-years in projection.
  • The system could help explain how early black holes grew so quickly and may represent an ancestor of mergers detectable by future gravitational-wave observatories.




“Companion for Betelgeuse update! A new image”

 

 

 

 

  • ESO’s Very Large Telescope has captured an image of the recently discovered companion to the famous red supergiant Betelgeuse at its expected location.
  • To confirm the object is Betelgeuse B astronomers will need to observe it in one year on the other side of the star.
  • The likely companion star is around 2 to 3 times the mass of our sun.




“Scientists find evidence of a rare double supernova in the Jellyfish Nebula”

 

 

 

 

  • Astronomers found evidence that the Jellyfish Nebula, or IC 443, and the fainter remnant G189.6+3.3 may have formed from two massive stars that once belonged to the same binary system.
  • Data from NASA’s Fermi telescope, eROSITA and other observatories show that both remnants lie about 6,000 light-years away, overlap in the sky and appear to interact with the same interstellar cloud system.
