It recently came to the Communique editors’ attention that the Winter 2007 newsletter of the now defunct International Sun Imbibers’ Society, entitled “The Sun Gazette,” contains an interview which the newsletter’s editor conducted with Gene Savoy Sr.

We thought the interview was interesting enough that our Community members and friends would like to read it, so we are making it available to our subscribers as a PDF document.

HEAD OVERSEER’S  MESSAGE

 

 

 

August 1, 2021 Confirmation of the Active Principles of Divine Law On this auspicious day in our Sacred Calendar – August 1st – it is my distinct pleasure to finally invite you formally to The Community’s 2022 Convocation. Of course, we hosted a successful virtual conference earlier this Summer, but we have not had the opportunity to assemble collectively in person with our non-resident members since 2019. Based on the recent Convocation survey, which was almost evenly split between those preferring June and September as months to hold our Convocation, we have decided to do something special. We will host the Community Convocation from Friday, June 3rd to Tuesday, June 7th, 2022 and host an additional Academy Seminar from Wednesday, September 7th through Sunday, September 11th, 2022. This idea is not entirely new. We have been discussing having two events annually for quite some time. In fact, when I was growing up in the 1970s, we used to have four seminars a year. But, because we have so much material to share (advanced, intermediate, and fundamental), it’s hard to fit all of this information into five days. The June Convocation will be geared towards those persons who are ordained within the Jamilian Order and will include advanced concepts and techniques relating to Sacred College studies, research, and practice, including the purpose of ceremony, liturgy, the use of chanting, tones, and the like. The September Seminar will provide in-person training for Academy Consociates in color and sacred imagery, the importance and use of the Sacred Thread and gemstones, the mechanics of nine fundamental healing techniques, including the use of crystals and expansions on the basic archetypal imaging of our Solar Cross that is introduced in the twelfth volume of The Cosolargy Papers. The importance of 2022 in our calendar cannot be overstated. It is the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Sun of Righteousness and also marks an important 20-year cycle – the third since 1962. We will be emphasizing during the June gathering how we have revived the ancient Essene Covenant of Renewal which always took place during the Feast of Weeks and later around Pentecost which, in our Community, is a fixed day according to the solar calendar. You will be hearing soon from our Convocation Coordinator, the Reverend Francine Petrovich, soon with further details. Of course, our resident Community will be welcoming you to both events, and you are always welcome to stay longer than the actual scheduled conference dates. But, please mark the dates in your calendar, and always feel free to contact someone here at the Center if you have any questions. We are very much looking forward to seeing you next year, if not sooner. Very truly yours in Light+,

This past June the Church hired Go Green Roofing to lay a new roof on the Chapel of The Holy Child and vestibule of the Chancellery building.

The Church received three bids on the project and chose GoGreen Roofing for the job after seeing the quality of their work.

The last roof was laid in 1981 when the Chapel was originally constructed and had been patched and repaired every since –  not always with success. (See photos of chapel leaks below.)

Leaks at Chapel chancel area

The leaks over the past winter could not be patched or repaired. The leaks were so bad that no company would accept the job,. Every company who examined the project insisted that the roof needed to be replaced.

Go Green Roofing specializes in spray foam roofing for flat roofs. The sloped, wood-shake roof over the Chancellery offices is a separate project and will be replaced over the next year with composition shingles.

Go Green Roofing is a locally operated, family owned, incorporated roofing company with more than 50 years of combined experience. The company has installed hundreds of thousands of square feet of both spray foam roofing and fluid-applied roofing membranes throughout Northern Nevada and California. Their other clients include Nevada Fine Arts and North Star and Heavenly Ski Resorts at Lake Tahoe.

The Go Green Roof System is sustainable and has a working life of 30+years. With superior leak protection, spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is the only roofing material that has no seams. A thick (typically 1″) closed-cell polyurethane waterproofing barrier seals the roof against leaks. The SPF roofing forms an impenetrable seal around roof penetrations such as pipes, vents, rooftop equipment, and parapet walls. The roofing system allows them to build up in ponding areas to reduce heavy standing water and improve drainage.

Spray polyurethane foam is the fastest growing insulating product in the world. As a roofing material it provides many benefits over traditional roofing materials. Exceptional durability, unmatched R-value, air barrier properties and a multitude of additional benefits make it a truly versatile roofing system. The Everplus MIP (Manufactured In Place) Spray Foam Roofing System utilizes Bayseal Spray Foam manufactured by Bayer Material Science, the inventor and leader in the polyurethane industry. (See before and after photos below.)

Spray polyurethane foam is watertight because the system is manufactured in place; major weaknesses, including seams and mechanical fasteners, are eliminated. The roofing system is highly heat reflective. It dramatically improves occupants’ comfort by typically cutting a summer roof surface temperature by 50-90˚. Simply maintaining the protective surface coating on the roof every 10-15 years will ensure that the roof will last indefinitely.

BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS

More than fifty Consociates of the Community from around the world successfully joined together in a Zoom conference on June 12, 2021. After a meet-and-greet in which many new Consociates took part, a series of informational videos and video reports were presented to all in attendance through the technical expertise of  Dea. Stephan Fuelling. The meeting was recorded by Rev. Mother Rebecca Willis, and is available to all Consociates on the Cosolargy Forum Facebook page.

If you have not yet seen the video presentations, go to the Cosolargy Forum Facebook page and check them out there. If you have not yet watched the June 12th conference, click on the link in the email sent to you on June 25th or click here.

If you are not yet a member of the Cosolargy Forum, request to become one when you visit the page. Participating in the Forum is your way to meet and interact with members of the Community from around the world.

The 2021 Community Conference opened on Second Advent Pentecost, Sunday, June 6, 2021 with Sunrise Divine Service, a breakfast buffet, and an address by The Right Reverend Gene Savoy, Jr. delivered at the Monastery Gardens, Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary.

All these events, including the delivery of the “State of The Church Community” address are available to Consociates at the Cosolargy Forum page on Facebook, shared through Dropbox.

Click here to link to a video of part two Bishop Savoy’s address. (36:29)

Bishop Savoy’s talk covers a wide scope of topics related to the Church Community’s history of projections and accomplishments over the past five years. The details are important enough and comprehensive enough that the Communique editors thought it worthwhile to present the entire address in writing for Consociates.

A full transcript of the address has been made by The Reverend Barbara Whitney for the Community Communique.

Dear Consociates,

We are pleased to invite you to take part in a special event we will be hosting this year for all Consociates of The Community throughout the world.

Next year – 2022 – we will hold a full, in-person Convocation during the time of Pentecost, which we celebrate each year on June 6th. This year – 2021 – we have created a virtual program that will begin on Sunday, June 6th, to commemorate the spiritual heritage of Pentecost.

In the early Church that originated out of the Essene communities, Pentecost was a time of regeneration and revitalization for the Community that signified the annual renewal of the Covenant. In a similar state of gratitude, peace and love, we will be able to participate together in the Divine Service on June 6, 2021, at one with God and the cosmos. The Book of God’s Revelation records the importance of this date in the Sacred Calendar of the Second Advent Church: In 1982 Revelations were received atop the Temple Mount on Divine Law and on the building of the Shrine of God’s Waters.

It is always important to reconnect with the Center, with others from around the world, and with our Prophecies and Teachings. And so we welcome this event as an important moment to connect, reconnect, and fuse together all members of Cosolargy International. In this era of an emerging new dimension of Consciousness, there is a power in the Liturgics and the Liturgy we perform in Community, aligned with the spiritual Forces of Light, to serve as an antidote to the influence of Dark Powers.

You can take part in this year’s conference by:

* visiting the Cosolargy Forum page on Facebook on June 6th to watch the “State of The Community” presentation live or by visiting the page at your convenience later to watch the recorded version and to see further announcements on the conference.
* attending the Zoom conference hosted in North America on June 12th at 2:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time.
* sending in questions for discussion that you may have on the “State of The Community” presentation or on concepts of Cosolargy which you would like to hear more about.
