Hali ya hewa ya Shindano la Upepo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Wakati tunazungumza kuhusu kutoa na ufadhili, tumekuja na njia ya kuhusisha mikutano katika majadiliano. Ni shindano linalotumia na kuadhimisha mchakato wa Quaker ili kubainisha jinsi mikutano inavyodhibiti zawadi kubwa zisizotarajiwa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Haraka<\/b>: Mwanachama mpendwa mzee ameaga dunia, akiacha dola milioni moja kwenye mkutano. Je, unasimamia vipi upepo? <\/span><\/p>\n

Kuanza, tunapendekeza kuunda kikundi kidogo cha watu watatu hadi sita ambao wangeigiza jibu lao au kuwaruhusu washiriki kutoa maoni yao. Tunapendekeza mtu achukue vidokezo vya mjadala unaofuata, na kujumuisha mawazo yaliyojadiliwa kwenye ingizo la shindano. Tunakadiria zoezi hili litachukua saa moja hadi mbili na nusu kukamilika, pamoja na muda wa ziada wa kuhariri na kuwasilisha sehemu ya mwisho. Kumbuka, hili ni zoezi tu, na tunatumai Marafiki watakuwa na furaha wakifikiria jinsi hali hii inaweza kutokea katika mikutano yao wenyewe, jumuiya na miji. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hatuvutiwi sana na uzuri wa wazo lako la mwisho na tunavutiwa zaidi na mchakato unaofuata ili kufika hapo. Lakini ndio, unapaswa kuwa na jibu la mwisho kwa kile ungefanya na pesa. Kutumia mawazo yako itakuwa muhimu kujaza hadithi, lakini inapaswa pia kuwa ya kweli na ya kuaminika. <\/span><\/p>\n

Labda yako ni mkutano ambao tayari umepitia mchakato huu wa kuamua nini cha kufanya na kiasi kikubwa cha pesa. Ikiwa hali ndio hii, tafadhali shiriki nasi nini na jinsi kilifanyika. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jopo letu la majaji litatathmini maingizo kulingana na orodha ya miongozo. Mkutano utakaoshinda utapata mkondo wake mdogo: a <\/span>$ 500 zawadi ya pesa<\/b>. Washindi wa pili pia watapata zawadi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mradi wa Sauti za Wanafunzi<\/b><\/h3>\n

Mradi wa nne wa kila mwaka wa Sauti za Wanafunzi unaendelea! Mwaka huu tunawauliza wanafunzi kumwandikia barua rais ajaye wa Marekani: Donald J. Trump. Kama ilivyokuwa miaka iliyopita, tunakaribisha mawasilisho kutoka kwa wanafunzi wote wa shule ya upili na upili (Quaker na wasio wa Quaker) katika shule za Friends na pia wanafunzi wa Quaker katika maeneo mengine ya elimu, kama vile shule za umma na shule za nyumbani. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mada ya SVP ya 2016-2017: Ndugu Mheshimiwa Rais<\/b><\/p>\n

Rais wa Marekani ndiye mkuu wa nchi aliyechaguliwa na mkuu wa serikali ya Marekani. Rais wetu mpya mteule ataanza madarakani Januari 20, 2017, kwa muhula wa miaka minne. Moja ya nyadhifa zenye nguvu duniani, Urais wa Marekani unakuja na jukumu kubwa la kuwawakilisha na kuwatetea raia wote mbalimbali wa taifa hili. <\/span><\/p>\n

Haraka<\/b>: Mwandikie barua Rais Mteule Donald J. Trump ukipendekeza kile unachofikiri anapaswa kuzingatia katika mwaka wake wa kwanza. Hapo chini kuna maoni kadhaa kwa barua yako. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ni nini kinahitajika katika jamii yako ambacho rais anaweza kusaidia kutimiza?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Umejifunza masomo gani shuleni ambayo yangemsaidia rais kufanya kazi yake?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Ni masuala gani yanapaswa kupewa kipaumbele katika mwaka wa kwanza, na kwa nini?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Ungekuwa rais ungefanya mambo gani matatu?<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Pendekeza kitabu ambacho unafikiri rais anafaa kusoma, na ueleze ni kwa nini.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Chagua Quaker maarufu, na ushiriki mambo mawili kumhusu ambayo yanaweza kumtia moyo rais ajaye.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Quakers na Wahindi<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Asante kwa ”Shule za Bweni za Wahindi za Quaker” za Paula Palmer (<\/span>
    \n FJ<\/span>
    \n<\/i> Oct.). Nilijifunza kwa mara ya kwanza kuhusu shule za bweni za Wahindi mnamo 1980 nilipopata kazi katika kliniki ya afya ya mjini, inayoendeshwa na Wahindi huko Minneapolis. Sikujua kwamba Quakers walihusika wakati mmoja, lakini sishangai sana.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Mimi ni mwanapatholojia aliyestaafu hivi majuzi wa lugha ya usemi, na kwangu mimi, mchango mkubwa katika michakato hiyo ya uponyaji umekuwa kurekebisha mtindo wangu wa mwingiliano wa mazungumzo na Wahindi. Nilipoanza kufanya kazi na Wahindi, nilijifunza kubadili jinsi nilivyozungumza. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Nilijifunza kwamba kusikiliza\u2014na kutafakari kimya\u2014kulihitaji kuwa mbinu zangu kuu za mazungumzo. Nilikuwa hivi karibuni kuwa Quaker, kwa hiyo nilikuwa nikipata ujumbe huo kutoka pande kadhaa. Katika mazingira hayo, nilijifunza uhusiano mpya kati ya mawasiliano na uponyaji wa kihisia. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Kurekebisha mtindo wangu wa mawasiliano ulingane na mifumo ya mazungumzo ya Wenyeji kumesaidia wao na mimi kujua kwamba tunasikilizwa, na jumbe zisizo za maneno zikawa chanya zaidi. Niliguswa moyo wakati siku moja mzee wa Seminole aliandika kuishukuru kliniki yangu kwa jinsi mimi na wanafunzi wangu tuliwasiliana wakati wa siku ya uchunguzi wa lugha ya usemi. Nimeendelea kuwasiliana mara kwa mara na kabila la Seminole, na ni zamu yangu kufikia. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Hizi ndizo kanuni zangu za msingi za mazungumzo ya uaminifu: Ninaendelea kushughulikia kila mwingiliano jinsi ninavyokaribia mkutano wa ibada; Ninakumbuka kwamba kusikiliza na kuwapo ni muhimu zaidi kuliko jinsi ninavyozungumza. Nakumbuka kile chifu mmoja alimwambia John Woolman: \u201cNinapenda kusikia maneno yanatoka wapi.\u201d Ninapenda kusikia maneno yanatoka wapi pia, kwa hivyo ninasikiliza. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Brian Humphrey<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/span>Wilton Manors, Fla.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Ninashukuru kwa makala hii yenye kufikiria na yenye changamoto. Mimi ni Quaker wa kizazi cha tisa huko Amerika, na ingawa nilikuja kuwa mhudumu wa Presbyterian aliyewekwa rasmi, ninathamini na ninashukuru sana urithi wangu wa Quaker. Ninafadhaika (na ninahitaji kusumbuliwa!) na mahusiano ya kihistoria ya kikabila ambayo yaliwapa changamoto mababu zetu. Baba yangu alitumikia mwaka mmoja katika Shule ya Kihindi ya Tunnasasa (1922), na mjomba wa babu yangu alitumikia miaka mingi huko Kansas kati ya Wenyeji wa Amerika wakifundisha kilimo. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Hapana shaka kwamba waliuelewa ulimwengu katika \u201clenzi\u201d yao ya wakati ufaao kama tunavyoelewa leo. Sijisikii tunahitaji au lazima ”tuombe msamaha” kwa kuwa wao walikuwa, lakini nakubali kwamba sisi leo lazima tujifunze kutoka kwa uzoefu wao kadiri tuwezavyo, na kuhangaika kutekeleza mafundisho na maadili ya Kristo ndani ya maisha yetu kama wanafunzi. Hiyo hakika ina maana ya kutafuta msamaha kwa maumivu ya kukusudia na bila kukusudia na chuki ambayo sisi na mababu tumesababisha, na kutafuta kila siku kuunda na kuishi ndani ya agano jipya la upendo na ushirika. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Matokeo yasiyotarajiwa kwa nia njema kabisa: Shule za Wahindi, kifungo cha upweke, madhara yote ya rangi. Mungu atusamehe kwa kiburi chetu, basi na sasa. Fungua macho, masikio, na mioyo yetu, ili tuweze kuona madhara tunayofanya, maudhi tunayosababisha, na ujitahidi kuyakomesha sasa! <\/span><\/p>\n

    Ninashukuru kwa makala hii kuleta kipande hiki cha historia kinachosumbua sana kwenye Nuru. Mimi kwa moja pole sana kwa ubaya waliofanya marafiki hawa. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Karen Stewart<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/span>Hillsborough, NC<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Familia ya baba yangu ilikuwa ya Kilutheri ya Denmark; mama yangu alikuwa Kanisa la Ndugu; na mama yangu wa kambo alikuwa Mkatoliki. Nilihudhuria shule ya bweni ya Kikatoliki huko Boulder, Colo., nikiwa na upweke na kutengwa na shule yoyote ya bweni. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Sikuweza kuelewa ni kwa nini baba yangu alikasirika sana nilipoanza kuhudhuria Mkutano wa Boulder katikati ya miaka ya 1960. Ninaelewa pingamizi zake vizuri zaidi sasa. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Hadithi zake, barua, na jarida la shangazi mkubwa linaonyesha kwamba alihudhuria Shule ya Ignacio (Fort Lewis), maili moja au mbili kutoka kwa nyumba ya familia. Ijapokuwa Ignacio hakuwa \u201cshule ya Kihindi\u201d baada ya 1911, baba yangu (b. 1914) na marafiki zake waliishi kwenye nyumba zilizokuwa karibu na shule hiyo na walihudhuria katika 1920. Majirani wa karibu zaidi (mbali na shangazi yangu mkubwa na familia yake) walikuwa Ute. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Baba yangu alisema juu ya kukata shule kwenda kuwinda, kwani kujifunza kutoka kwa vitabu sio sawa na kujifunza kutoka kwa mazingira. Picha rasmi ya shangazi yake ilikuwa ya kijana mwenye ngozi nzuri mwenye umri wa miaka 15 aliyevalia rasmi lakini mwenye nywele za mtindo wa Ute: ndefu, zilizofungwa kwa ngozi, na zilizopambwa kwa manyoya. Alisimulia juu ya kutumwa kutafuta maono na mmoja wa majirani ambaye alikuwa shaman. Inawezekana. Baba yake alikuwa amekufa hivi karibuni, na baadaye aliishi na shangazi huyo na familia yake. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Mama yangu alifundisha karibu na Bayfield hadi shule zilipounganishwa katikati hadi mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1930. Mafundisho yake yalilenga jamii za Wachina za miji kadhaa. Baada ya kurudi Colorado, kazi yake ilijumuisha wahamiaji na watu wa kiasili. Baba yangu alirudi eneo hilo pia. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Wazazi wangu waliheshimu maoni ya marafiki zao\u2014katika kisa cha mama yangu, wanafunzi wa zamani. Nakumbuka mijadala kuhusu ugumu wa shule za bweni, usumbufu wa familia na jamii. Baadhi ya wazee walikariri mikataba na kusimulia historia zao bila maandishi kuchapishwa. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Baada ya kujaribu mazoea mengi ya Kikristo, baba yangu alianza tena mazoea ya kiroho ambayo alijifunza kutoka kwa majirani wa wazazi wake Ute. Walijali watu. Walimjali. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Je, naweza, kama Rafiki kwa miongo kadhaa, kufanya kidogo?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Christine Greenland<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/span>Warminster, Pa.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Ninahisi hitaji la kuomba msamaha. Sidhani ni sawa kwa sababu sikuwapo. Kwa maisha yangu, sioni kampeni hii kuwa inalingana na maadili ya Quaker hata kidogo, na hakika haikuwa maoni ya William Penn. Babu yangu mwenyewe Makamu wa Rais wa Marekani Charles Curtis alifanya kazi ya kuingiza watu wake wa asili zaidi katika utamaduni wa Anglo, akihisi kuwa hiyo ndiyo njia pekee ya kuishi: kupoteza utamaduni wa mtu mwenyewe na kuchukua ule ambao ulikuwa wa kigeni. Alitumia maisha yake kukataa asili yake mwenyewe na kushawishi kupanua programu ya shule ya bweni ya India kwa lengo la kuwa ”Wamarekani” wazuri. Waprotestanti wengi wa Anglo-Saxon wanahisi kwamba ni bahati tu ya kuteka na kwamba mtu angetawala tamaduni zingine zote za asili za ulimwengu; ilitokea tu kuwa wao. Ni njia ya kukwepa uwajibikaji na inaendelea hadi leo tunapoona na mashirika ya nishati chafu yanajiona yana mamlaka ya kuharibu usambazaji wa maji, maeneo ya mazishi, na ardhi ya asili iliyopo iliyoachwa katika nchi hii kwa ajili ya ”ustaarabu.” Asante kwa kusikiliza na kuwa sehemu ya uponyaji. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Kamati za uwazi zinasaidia sana<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Ninapenda sana mchanganyiko wa watu wanaozungumza kutokana na uzoefu wao wenyewe katika video ”Jinsi ya Kuwa na Kamati ya Uwazi ya Quaker” (<\/span>
    \n QuakerSpeak.com<\/span>
    \n<\/i> , Oct.). Kila mmoja ni mwangalifu sana kuelezea jinsi mchakato unavyofanya kazi na wakati inachukua. Itakuwa muhimu sana kwa kuwatia moyo Marafiki wasiojishughulisha sana na wahudhuriaji wapya kutafuta usaidizi wa mkutano wao kwa maswali na uwezekano unaojitokeza ndani, wanapokua katika Roho.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Miaka mingi iliyopita, mimi na mume wangu tulikuwa tukipambana na suala la familia na kulileta kwa kamati ya uwazi. Hakukuwa na jibu mwishoni mwa mkutano huo. Hata hivyo, tulisikia pembe kadhaa mpya ambazo hatukuzingatia, na muhimu zaidi, kama msemaji wa mwisho alisema, tulifaidika kwa kujua kwamba hatukuwa peke yetu, kwamba kikundi hiki cha Marafiki kilikuwa na mgongo wetu. Ilikuwa ni zawadi kama hiyo. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Kunufaika kutoka kwa wataalamu waliofunzwa<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Sisi, katika Ulaya tunatawaliwa na ibada zisizo na programu (\u201cMchungaji wa Quaker Anafanya Nini?\u201d <\/span>QuakerSpeak.com<\/span><\/i>, Agosti). Sidhani kama kuna mchungaji katika Bara la Kale, lakini ninajuta sana! Nashangaa kama si kwa sababu ya ukorofi kidogo kwamba \u201chatuna\/hatuhitaji mchungaji!\u201d Nadhani tungefaidika kwa kiasi kikubwa kutokana na chaguo la kuwa na jumuiya za wachungaji, si haba kwa kupanua mawasiliano yetu. Wakati mwingine mimi hujiuliza ikiwa kwa jumuiya ambazo hazijapangwa\/zisizofunzwa tu hatuhatarishi ”kukausha.” Ningependa hali ambapo kulikuwa na angalau baadhi ya jumuiya zenye wachungaji au wahudumu wanaosafiri wanaolipwa. Sioni kwa nini tunajiona sisi pekee ambao hatuwezi kufaidika na wale wanaojitolea maisha yao ya kitaaluma kwa dini.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Eric Callcut<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/span>Ufaransa<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Kipingamizi kwa wachungaji wanaolipwa katika mila \u201csafi\u201d isiyo na programu, ni kwamba mtu anayelipwa anaweza kuwa mtawala kwa urahisi\u2014kiongozi anayelipwa. Ni bora kufanya kile ambacho Mungu anatuitia kufanya sisi wenyewe kwa uvuvio wa kiungu unaotolewa bure kwetu. Kwa nini tutarajie kulipa, au kulipwa, kwa ajili hiyo? Hii ilikuwa hoja ya George Fox na inafaa hadi leo. Ikiwa tunalenga tu kupata idadi kubwa zaidi katika mkutano wetu, tunaweza kuchukua njia ya kisasa ya kibiashara ya uinjilisti wa televisheni, mchungaji mwenye haiba, na mkusanyiko mzima wa utangazaji wa kushawishi (ingawa kwa ujumla si waaminifu). <\/span><\/p>\n

    Alama za kuishi kama Quaker<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Asante kwa ”Sababu 10 Kuu za Mimi ni Quaker” (<\/span>
    \n QuakerSpeak.com<\/span>
    \n<\/i> , Oct.). Nimehamasishwa kuandika sababu zangu kumi za kuamini kuwa naweza kujiita Quaker. Iwapo inatosha sisi kufanya hivi, kijitabu cha kuvutia kinaweza kuchapishwa kwa kitini kwenye mikutano yetu. Je, kuna mtu yeyote huko nje aliyeitwa kufanya hivi?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Joan Kindler<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Whitestone, NY<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nilifurahia\u2014ndiyo, nilifurahia\u2014kusikiliza sababu kumi zilizo hapa. Niko karibu kabisa katika baadhi ya hizi kumi, ikiwa sio nyingi. Kwa hivyo nataka kuamini sababu kuu, haswa katika kuwa sehemu ya Mungu ya upatanisho na kurejesha uumbaji. Ninaona dalili za hili kutokea pale Standing Rock na kwenye maandamano ya amani ya kuweka maji (maji ya uhai) safi kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo. Ninaona ishara kwa wanawake huko Poland na Mexico wakiandamana kudai haki zao. Ninamwona Papa wa Kikatoliki, Papa Francis, akifanya kazi kwa uchangamfu, umakini wa kubadilisha na kutembea na Mungu wetu kama uwepo wa upatanisho na kurejesha. Mungu amekuwa akizungumza nami hivi karibuni kuhusu imani. Sisi sote tunaamka kila siku na kutembea kwa imani, hata kama hatudai kumwamini Mungu. Mungu ananionyesha kwamba wote wanatembea kwa imani kama watu na wote wanaweza kubadilishwa. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Gregg Koskela, asante kwa ushuhuda wako! Asante kwa kufuata mwongozo wa Kristo kuwa Quaker, na sasa mchungaji wangu katika Newberg (Ore.) Friends Church. Ninakupenda na ninakuthamini sana. Wewe ni mfano mzuri wa kuigwa! <\/span><\/p>\n

    Ralph Beebe<\/span><\/em>
    \n<\/span>Newberg, Madini.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Sababu zako kumi za kuwa Quaker ni mwongozo mzuri kwa kila mtu anayejitahidi kuishi maisha ya ufuasi wa kweli, bila kujali dhehebu. Swali la kudumu ni kama tunaiona Quakerism kama dini au kama njia ya maisha; labda ni mchanganyiko wa zote mbili. Ni kweli kwamba ni imani isiyo ya kiitikadi, lakini kwa kuwa imekita mizizi katika Ukristo, inakuja na msamiati wa kidini\/kiroho ambao kwa uboreshaji kidogo na nuance bado unaweza kututumikia vyema. Wasiwasi wangu na mikutano hiyo ambayo inategemea sana msamiati huo ni kwamba inaelekea kwa kiwango cha chuki ya ushoga. Itakuwa jambo la kuburudisha kupata mkutano wa Kikristo wazi ambao hauzingatii watu wa LGBTQ kama sehemu ya ”kuvunjika” kwa uumbaji ambao lazima urejeshwe katika Kristo. <\/span><\/p>\n
