The 2013 Community Calendar will be in the mail to all Community members before the end of the Advent Vigil.

The calendar follows the traditional monthly format beginning with January, but it contains all the important dates of The Community’s Sacred Calendar year, which begins on February 2nd (See Jamil: Child of Light, chapter 27).

In addition to dates for liturgical observance or remembrance, the calendar also indicates the moon phases for the year and, in relation to these moon phases, the optimal days to view sunrise or sunset according to the Lunar/Solar Cycle Generative Technique familiar to Cosolargists who have advanced through The Cosolargy Papers.

This year’s calendar includes several original paintings done by Canadian artist and Consociate Frieda Nelson. Each of the paintings was inspired by her visits to The Community sanctuary in recent years. Frieda has agreed to make full color prints of these works available to fellow Community members. These will be produced in 5×7, 8×10 and 11×14 standard sizes for framing and in popular sizes of postcards and personal note cards. All are reasonably priced. Please refer to the order form enclosed with your printed calendar or click on the PDF of the order form below. Her paintings are sensitive and inspiring. We encourage you to encourage her to continue her creative work.

Our thanks goes to Deacon Dr. Stephan Fuelling for compiling and designing the calendar in consultation with the publishing, editing, and liturgical departments and with Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. We also thank the Rev. Ben Hubbard, who prints the calendar using our Toshiba e-Studio printing system at our production facilities located at the Steamboat Hot Springs Priory.

We expect you will find this year’s Community Calendar useful and that the full-color format and beautiful photography will be an inspiration to you throughout the year. When you receive your print copy of the calendar, please remember to make the suggested donation of $15.00 to help defray costs.

James Lewis Humphrey

Jim Humphrey (1944-2013), crew member of the Feathered Serpent II (FSII) expedition and one-time Consociate of the Community, made his transition January 19, 2013. A celebration of his life for family and friends was held at Washoe County Golf Course on Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:00 AM. Bishop Gene Savoy Jr., who knew Jim as a child while Jim was pilot of the FSII, and Shane Grady, Jim Humphrey’s sometimes golf partner, were in attendance at the life celebration as representatives of the Second Advent Church Community.

The printed program for the celebration of Jim’s life referred indirectly to the FSII expedition in this way:

“Besides being a track star, well known and respected golfer, and pilot, Jim had a personal life mission of understanding the meaning of love, life, and spirituality. His sailing trip in 1978 to Central and South America was one of his many pursuits in finding the truths that defined life and the world around him.”

A reception was held on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at the India Kabab & Curry Restaurant to celebrate the recent participation of local Hindu leader Rajan Zed in the “World Economic Forum,” which was held last month in New Delhi, India. The Forum, based in Geneva, Switzerland, brought together 500 global and regional leaders in the fields of business, government, education and religion. The mayor of the city of Sparks, Geno Martini, presided over the gathering of more than one hundred regional leaders and representatives. The renowned Indian sitar player “Chakrapani” provided music. Bishop Gene Savoy Jr., President of the Nevada Clergy Association, moderated the two-hour event. Also in attendance from the Second Advent Church were Bishop Sean Savoy and the Reverends Francine and Robert Petrovich.

 Read more about the event online at the Reno Gazette-Journal web site.

The greater Reno community gathering to celebrate “the shift in consciousness occurring now” from noon Friday, December 21-Saturday, December 22 was videotaped and presentations are now available online at the organization’s web site. Participants from the International Community of Christ were Reverend Gary Buchanan and Bishop Gene Savoy Jr.

To read more about the event and to see videos of the presentations, follow this link to renobirth2012.tumblr.com and the “presentations and cameos” page  or go directly to the  YouTube channel for Reno Birth 2012 .

Rev. Buchanan spoke on the Community’s perspective of the year 2012, cycles, and changes in the sun. On the YouTube presentations page, scroll down to #28 “Historical Cycles of the Sun.”

Bishop Savoy participated in a panel of interfaith leaders that included a protestant, a member of Latter Days Saints, two Jewish rabbis, a Buddhist priest, a Hindu, a Muslim, and an atheist. The group spoke on the topic “How can the religions Get Along?” To see this presentation on YouTube, scroll down to #21 “Northern Nevada Religious Leaders discuss how to get along.”
