Fwd: [omni-consensus] Newly Revised Proposal for Liberation Ministries - Please take back to your collectives

by Jenny Ryan

Updated proposal from Liberation Ministries. Please read and comment. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Novotny <novotny.stephen(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Sep 13, 2015 at 11:26 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Newly Revised Proposal for Liberation Ministries - Please take back to your collectives To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> To enter the consensus process at this weeks delegates meeting, Sept. 17th. Please take back to your collectives so that we're prepared to engage in this process with representation from all groups. Please respond here with any further questions or feedbacks so we can further this process with due diligence. Thanks. --------- Liberation Ministries (LM) has requested that we move forward with a consensus process this Thursday, Sept. 17th. They feel that it’s essential for them to have a space to begin their work and so they must begin investing their time elsewhere if the Omni cannot come to at least a preliminary consensus to move forward with their request for space on Sunday mornings and Friday evenings. They feel that while there may be many questions and concerns, it will be most productive for us to get to know them through the concrete work they’ll begin doing once they have a commitment from us to let them use the space. In short, they feel like their hands are tied, having spent considerable time already in our process without any commitments, while they need to move forward immediately with concrete results if they’re to live up to what their work promises: working in the community, providing for the needs of others. Summary The purpose of this proposal is to create a formal relationship between LM and the Omni Commons. Cheryl Ward is the pastor of LM, which has a small existent following seeking to start a new congregation and grow into a larger ministry. They’ve yet to hold their own Sunday services, which is essential to their growth, because they don’t have a building. They intend to begin their services in the Omni and grow from here. LM at this time is content with being considered a tenant or some other form of relationship that provides them with a level of commitment from the Omni for their use of the requested space. They’re confident that their ability to collaborate and contribute to the space will manifest, whether they become a collective member now, later or never. As they’ve stated in their application, they’re not interested in creating a “social club,” they’re interested in expanding their involvement in the community by meeting the needs of those in the community. Their use of space in the Omni is meant to provide a safe space for their congregation to welcome newcomers, to develop their vision and to gather the basic necessities required to provide for the community outside the building. To find out more about Cheryl Ward, who is the leading pastor of Liberation Ministries, check here: http://cherylwardministries.com/about_us Terms of Agreement Open to being a collective member, a tenant or reserving their use of space and access through the Commons wg. It’s up to Omni delegates to decide on how to move forward with processing these Terms of Agreement - Seeking commitment of 1+ years - Use of space - Host a congregation / religious service on Sunday mornings from 9am-11am - Open to meeting in rooms that suit the size of the congregation, especially as the congregation is still forming. - Ideally in ballroom with use of piano and other instruments, but can be occasionally flexible to shift to other locations in the building (such as Disco Room or Basement). - Host youth activities and discussion nights on Friday evenings, including collaborations with Peralta College students and Material Print Machine - Access to a private space or office for conversations / consultation / administerial work - 24/7 access to the building to conduct the above Concerns Expressed by Delegates in Previous Meetings 1. Their use of the space on Sunday would limit our ability to provide this space for others - We followed up regarding this concern with the Commons WG and learned that Sunday morning during the time from 9-11ish (am) when Liberation Ministries would have service has seen only six events since last November 2014 when the Omni Global calendar started being used - Two of these were all day events--Capoeira and a "Fundraiser for Legal Fees". - Of the other four, three were short two-hour rehearsals and one was something called "Love Chapel" - Three of the six events started at 11am - There were a few more events that were in the Ballroom starting at noon on Sundays, but not many - And Sudo Room hosted in the ballroom: - Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces (BACH) Unconference Sept 25-26, 2014 that started at 10am on Sunday - https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Bay_Area_Consortium_of_Hackerspaces/September… 2. They’re religious values will conflict with Omni’s Statement of Solidarity and Safer Space Policy - Cheryl has continually stated that *LM is aligned with our SOS and SSP* - Cheryl has made it clear that LM would not seek space in the Omni if they didn’t recognize the potential for collaboration between LM and the other groups in the Omni. She wants to make clear that it would not be in the best interest of LM to begin building ministry in a place that they didn’t feel would foster the growth they’re seeking - There’s been many lengthy emails posted on the LM Omni email discuss thread in defense of liberation-based Christian congregations and pastoral practice. Liberation Ministries is a black-led organization coming to Omni with need for space, so that they can begin to work in the surrounding community - Our SOS calls for us to prioritize the needs of such an organization, even if they conflict with some of our personal views on religion, etc. - Furthermore, stated in our SSP, Omni is dedicated to being “inclusive‭ ‬of‭ ‬the‭ ‬largest‭ ‬number‭ ‬of‭ ‬contributors,‭ ‬with‭ ‬the‭ ‬most‭ ‬varied‭ ‬and‭ ‬diverse‭ ‬backgrounds‭ ‬possible,” which includes being a welcoming environment for all especially with regard to religion (or lack thereof), among other inclusions - LM welcomes the involvement of other religious or nonreligious groups or individuals in their ministry - For LM, ministry is social justice work 3. What is the governance structure of LM? - As Cheryle stated in the 8/27 delegates meeting, “we share governance. not a hierarchy. it's about input from everybody and we collectively make a decision. majority votes on the directions we go in, what we do, how we do” 4. What work will LM be doing and who will they be working with? - Welcomes our neighbors in the surrounding area of Temescal and North Oakland to the Omni - Very much in line with our founding vision and Statement of Solidarity to support low- to middle-income black families, working with youth, working with those most marginalized - Tangible anti-gentrification work, providing an inviting space for organizing those most affected - They have offered to help with specific elements of building maintenance and upgrades in the Omni - Liberation Ministry’s Original Proposal for Collective Membership (this included here for reference, see Terms of Agreement above for revised proposal/request for use of space at Omni) Liberation Ministries is a new church led by Pastor Cheryl Ward. We are seeking a space to have our Sunday services and where we can participate in a community working for social justice. 1. Mission statement We endeavor to be change agents in our local community and globally, and turn whatever space we are in into a change agency. Our commitment is to transforming lives. We do ministry but it's not a ministry unless we are transforming lives. We are not a traditional church. We welcome EVERYBODY. The core of it is love. Our goal is to be loving and non-judgmental. We have trans, same sex loving, black, white, asian, Latino, Native American members etc. 2. Origin and group history Cheryl has 36 years in ministry, community organizing, and activism, and has pastored 3 churches. This is a brand new congregation in formation, looking for a place to hold Sunday worship services and committing ourselves to social justice activism in the city. There is a board of directors of five members, who operate under a shared governance policy. As a general rule, Cheryl and at least one of the board representatives will meet regarding building issues. 3. Participation in the Omni We see the richness of the collective and the opportunity to really transform this neighborhood, as well as to bring the community into the things that are going on here. How does your group intend to use the space? What are your needs? 9-12 on Sundays for services (in the ballroom); an office space if available (potentially the room next to Phat Beets; some private space for counseling sessions (same room); use of a space every Friday nite for a hangout for teens (any available space in Omni. We are willing to be flexible about sharing the available spaces with others. Offering big flat screen TV abt 46" and a floor model big screen t.v. for shared use and use with teens for movies, videogames etc. Just brought a Hammond B3 Organ to the Omni for shared use. Working on obtaining other musical instruments. Brought 6 additional pews to the Omni. We will actively conduct a door-to-door campaign to meet neighbors and inform them of our presence and find out the needs of the community. 4. Group finances and paying rent What does your group do to support itself financially? Write grants, Sunday offerings, and contributions from supporters What is your best plan for contributing your potential share of rent to the Omni? Rent $250 - $300 a month to start but we can negotiate an increase once revenue generation of the above begins. 5. Dedicated space Office desk and filing cabinet. 6. Other contributions to the Omni - Help with cosmetic maintenance like painting. - We can use our relationship with the Conservation Corps to invite them to come in to help on building work. - Help make vending machines now in CCL happen with snacks for the teens who come to our Friday night event Work with MPM and BAPS. - Cheryl has a collaboration with Peralta Colleges and would seek to have a printing press class. Printing of items and books could serve as a source of revenue generation. Young people could could learn and get credi. - Talk to paint store (Frazee) about using their parking lot on Sundays or other times. 7. Additional We would be here to be a contributor, not to subtract anything from the Omni. If we're not contributing we don't need to exist. _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Liberation Ministries Proposal to Omni Commons -- Matt recuses himself, seeks another delegate

by Matthew Senate

tl;dr, *I need to recuse myself as sudo room delegate from the Liberation Ministries proposal (details below):* Hey all, I've cc'd Sudo Room's Omni-Delegates list (our email list for people who have been consented upon to act on behalf of Sudo Room as a delegate in the Omni Commons delegates council). I do not think I am capable of getting through the emotionally-charged issues necessary to act on behalf of the sudo room when it comes to the discussion of Liberation Ministries collaborating with the Omni Commons. While I am still willing and able to act as sudo room's delegate for other proposals and at other times, I need to recuse myself from this proposal in particular. I will attend the next sudo room meeting on Weds 9/16 as well as the next Omni Commons delegates meeting on Thurs 9/17, but will not be representing the sudo room when it comes to the Liberation Ministries proposal. *If sudo room members find it important to participate in this part of the process, then another member of sudo room who is approved to act as an Omni Commons delegates needs to represent the sudo room instead.* You can read the most recent version of this proposal submitted to the omni-consensus email list today (Thurs) around 5pm. It should be reviewed this week and formally discussed during the next (coming) Thurs 9/17 @ 7pm. // Matt p.s. "Active non-Member" is a bit confusing language, but essentially this not a proposal to become a Member-Collective, but instead a different kind of formal commitment, backed by some form of legal document(s) [such as rental contract(s), tenant (non-member-collective) sublease, etc]. The text of the current proposal follows: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Novotny <novotny.stephen(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 5:07 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Liberation Ministries Proposal to Join Omni as an Active non-Member To: consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org This proposal is being sent out so that it can be discussed for consensus at next week's delegates meeting. Please take it back to your collectives and discuss so we can move forward. --- After conversations following the August 27th Delegates Meeting, we’ve collaborated with Liberation Ministries (LM) to develop a proposal for them to join the Omni as an active non-member. We’ve integrated feedback from the 8/27 Delegates Meeting, where people expressed concern about LM becoming a member collective immediately. Please read the notes from that discussion here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2015/08/27_Delegates_Meeting Many people suggested that LM begin doing work at the Omni in order for us to get to know each other and to see how their work flourishes here, before applying to become a member collective. The most essential needs of LM are to have reliable access to the space for consultations and office work, as well as ongoing reservation of space two times a week: one on Friday nights to work with youth, including collaborations with BAPS and MPM, and two, use of the Ballroom on Sunday mornings from 9-11am. These are the basic needs of LM, essential to the continuity and growth of their organization. At the 8/27 delegates meeting there was some concern over the reservation of the Ballroom on Sunday mornings for LM, with some people concerned that it might prevent other, important groups from using the Ballroom during this time. We followed up regarding this concern with the Commons WG and learned that Sunday morning during the time from 9-11ish (am) when Liberation Ministries would have service has seen only six events since last November 2014 when the Omni Global calendar started being used. Two of these were all day events--Capoeira and a "Fundraiser for Legal Fees". Of the other four, three were short two-hour rehearsals and one was something called "Love Chapel" Three of the six events started at 11am. There were a few more events that were in the Ballroom starting at noon on Sundays. Considering the Ballroom does not have any other regularly scheduled events, it is a great opportunity to put the ballroom space in use more regularly and provide a regular source of income from the usage. While this would prevent a few miscellaneous events a year from using this space at said time, the space would never go unused as long as LM operates within the Omni. Furthermore, because LM is a community-based church, they need space within the community to begin inviting people on a regular basis. They plan to go door-to-door to let neighbors all over North Oakland know about their new ministry, so they must have a reliable space to invite these new people to occupy. Welcomes our neighbors in the surrounding area of Temescal and North Oakland Very much in line with our founding vision and Statement of Solidarity to support low- to middle-income black families Working with youth Tangible anti-gentrification work They have offered to help with specific elements of building maintenance and upgrades LM would like to use their original proposal to become a member collective as their proposal to instead become an active non-member group within the Omni. The proposal is pasted below: Liberation Ministries is a new church led by Pastor Cheryl Ward. We are seeking a space to have our Sunday services and where we can participate in a community working for social justice. 1.

Sudoroom saved me

by Romy Ilano

(see full image) This week I was reaching a crisis in my work. I drifted about , directionless and without hope. It was as if all the sleepless nights and struggles of the years past amounted to nil and would crash my life into a cycle of doom Then lo and behold! I encountered perfection if not but in the human form It really helps to talk things out wihh people especially if they are in different disciplines than you. How was I to know that Sudoroom is a boiling steamy sauna of math nerds. Instead of focusing on the obvious I was taken down a side journey of math. And I have emerged all the better, ready to bath myself in olive oil with a stergil Sent from my iPhone
