Dignity/Arizona Ministry of Pastoral Care Formed
 




​By Steve Stencil, Dignity/Arizona Board member
Dignity/Arizona has experienced an increase in membership during the past couple of years. With a growing faith community comes increasing pastoral needs.
Early in 2012, a need arose when two new members of Dignity/ Arizona experienced serious illness, includ- ing hospitalization, and no one from Dignity/Arizona reached out to them during their time of need. Although community leadership was not aware of their need for pastoral outreach, the Board also realized there was no organizational structure in which members could request sensitive pastoral outreach during times of sickness, personal loss, incidents of possible or actual violence, or the harsher effects of aging. The two new members of Dignity/Arizona sent a pointed and heart wrenching letter to the chapter president expressing their disappointment and concern about this seeming lack of sensitivity.
Since then, the Board has addressed the con- cern and realized our need for a Ministry of Pastoral Care. “Suffering wears a thousand faces, and every face is Christ’s!” Dignity/Arizona must mean more than a Saturday evening Vigil Mass and a potluck gathering once a month. We must reach out to our members whenever anyone is suffering. A brochure has been prepared to encourage members to invite the community to be with them at those times.
Although the formation of this new ministry for our local chapter continues to evolve, Catholic clergy and lay members are available upon request for the Sacraments of Healing, visitations to the sick and homebound, pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, holy unions, and providing transportation to Mass and other chapter events.
One of the deepest causes of suffering is a sense of isolation. We want our members to be assured that they are very much a part of our community of faith as we embrace one another as sisters and brothers in Christ.

     


Vision Statement

DignityUSA envisions and works for a time when Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Catholics are affirmed and experience dignity through the integration of their spirituality with their sexuality, and as beloved persons of God participate fully in all aspects of life within the Church and Society.

Dignity/Chicago Community Service Experience
 




By Mike Hogan, Dignity/Chicago
Dignity/Chicago chapter members who attended the recent national Convention in Minneapolis were inspired by the justice theme that permeated every aspect of the Convention experience. We asked ourselves what we could do to put that message into action.
One of the chapter members volunteers at the Lakeview Food Pantry, which has been operating for many years. It offers a variety of services, in addition to distributing food to needy folks in the area. It operates six days a week with two locations, one of which includes the “Boystown” neighborhood where the chapter meets for weekly worship and community-building. This Chicago neighborhood is considered “upscale” and affluent by many, yet we witnessed first-hand the extent of the need of those who rely on this food assistance on a regular basis, people whom we may not know, but who are our neighbors.

We decided that preparing the baskets of food for home delivery would be a good project. We met at the pantry the second Saturday of September, ready to offer our service. In addition to the obvious direct help we provided, two unexpected benefits occurred.
First, we were present as members of Dignity/Chicago, and the people who were with us learned more about who we are, and saw us as contributing members to the local community. The second benefit as a chapter was that those who volunteered enjoyed a meal following our service. It provided time for us to get to know one another better. This whole experience served as a meaningful way to build community.
An activity like this is something that any chapter, large or small, can do. The chapter doesn’t have to sponsor a program or run it. We were able to connect with an existing activity that supported needs present in our community. While we continue to look at other opportunities for outreach and service, our group agreed to commit to staff this activity the sec- ond Saturday of every month as our ongoing commitment to community service.
We believe one experience of service like this leads to another. We are currently planning how the chapter will be supporting efforts to secure marriage equality in the state of Illinois, by helping with phone banking and participating in a Rally Day for Marriage Equality in Springfield on October 22.
Justice flowed like a river from Minneapolis to Chicago, and our chapter and the surrounding community is the better for it.

Equally Blessed Coalition Gains Public Attention
 




By Jim Smith, DignityUSA Program Manager
As you know, Dignity actively participates in the Equally Blessed (EB) coalition with our partners at New Ways Ministry, Call To Action, and Fortunate Families. We meet once a month in teleconference, and twice a year face to face. All of us are actively invested in EB. While many coalitions become mere window dressings for participating organizations, EB enjoys a shared, focused, and invested effort. Our recent face to face meeting was another reflection of that.

We have planned a proactive effort in anticipation of the USCCB meeting in November, as well as an effort to reach out to Catholic military chaplains. We also surfaced some exciting ideas for the longer term.
We continue to find our shared voice while the public is finding ours, evident in the fact that major news outlets are calling on EB when the Pope opens his mouth these days.
We ask your prayers for each of our sister organizations, and for our Equally Blessed coalition, that we may continue to be an effective voice for LGBT dignity and justice. And may each of our chapters and caucuses continue to find ways to reach beyond ourselves in prophetic witness!

Sharing the Light
 




By Mark Matson
I am thinking of a memory from more than 15 years ago. I was attending Mass at my local Newman Center. The parish had the practice of including women in the rotation of preachers. Marie was preaching this particular day. I always found her reflections to be thoughtprovoking. This day was particularly so. She was telling a story from her childhood to make a point. I found myself trying to translate her experience as a little girl to mine as a boy. It occurred to me that this is what women in our Church have to do most of the time. And then I thought how the People of God are being denied another whole part of the spectrum of the divine on Sundays, that of the feminine.
I like to think of myself as an advocate for the full inclusion of women in my Church. I don’t go so far as to call myself a feminist. That feels pretentious. However, my spirit was really encouraged by the presence of so many women at the last Convention in Minneapolis, the most I remember. The Convention was preceded by a “women’s retreat.” Before that event, our Board of Directors met to conduct business and the upcoming retreat was mentioned with the phrase “for women only.” It elicited some of the negative feelings I have felt so often in my past of being excluded. This was in part due to the fact I heard “women’s event” rather than “women’s retreat.” During a lunch break I brought this up to a group from the Board that included several women. The discussion that ensued was enlightening to me. I am writing to share some of that light with the men of Dignity.
My female colleagues were quick to state their intention was not to exclude, but to create a “safe space” for women. Women, particularly lesbians, have a much more pronounced experience of exclusion in our male-centric Church and tradition. The alienation can be profound and certainly different in nature than mine. I was asked to imagine walking into a Church where all the leaders on the altar were women, where all the images in stained glass were women, where all the language was feminine with the understanding that men were included, and then asked how I might feel. The part about the stained glass really struck me, and it didn’t take long to imagine. It would be a pervasive experience of feeling “less than” rather than equal to. Women have different issues with our Church than gay men do. The purpose of the retreat is to provide a place where they can talk about these experiences without having to try to translate them for men like me.
In most of our chapters, women constitute 10% or less of those attending. They rarely have the experience of being surrounded by “people like me.” Gay men can certainly imagine what this is like when we are acutely aware of being surrounded by people who are clueless of our experience, no matter how welcoming they may be. How often do you walk into a place where you are very aware of not fitting in, and then walk right out? The need for a place where we ARE surrounded by people with shared experiences is great, and DignityUSA provided this for our women at the women’s retreat. I also learned that when women and men gather together, women often pull back from talking, for whatever reason. In other words, the guys end up dominating the conversation.
The Convention also featured a “Feminist Liturgy.” I am a member of Defenders. We always host a morning liturgy for the Convention, and we wear our leathers. For us it is an expression of our masculinity. We are always honored and pleased when women join our celebration of the Eucharist. This year the women extended a specific invitation to come to the Feminist Liturgy the next day, and so many of us did. It was a beautiful and distinct experience. One of my brothers expressed his gratitude tearfully.
Dignity so needs an infusion of the feminine, as does the Church as a whole. I found it at the last Convention in small measure. I pray that more and more women join our communities, as I pray more youth do as well. Because I need them to expand my understanding of the Divine. For that to happen, the men of Dignity need to suspend judgment, ask respectfully, and listen well. It’s not about us any more than being gay is about the straight people in our lives. We simply have been gifted with a different view of life. And isn’t it delightful when someone inquires about that with genuine interest, and lets us talk without having to translate, explain, and defend? That’s an experience of genuine respect.

Moving into a New Season
 




By Lewis Speaks-Tanner, Dignity USA Vice President
On September 20, 2013, America magazine published a lengthy interview with Pope Francis. In reading the article, there were many points that LGBT Catholics will find hopeful. It is the second time the Pope has made gay-friendly or gay-affirming comments. Yes, his tone is a sharp contrast from the rhetoric of Benedict. Unfortunately, we have not seen any change in tone from our own bishops. In fact, just this August, Minneapolis Archbishop Nienstedt claimed Satan is to blame for gay marriage and condoms. Cardinal Dolan, being interviewed extensively after the America article, reminded us at every opportunity that the hierarchy has not softened its teaching on homosexuality using the same good old phrase, “love the sinner but hate the sin.”
Cardinal Dolan’s message does not match what Pope Francis has been saying. What is the message? Will the Pope be able to change the conversation away from gays, abortion, and contraception, and focus on the poor, marginalized, and those who have been disenfranchised?
As we move into a new season and greet the coming autumn, I am hoping our Church will move into a new season as well. I am hoping that Francis is serious about change and that there is a profound change throughout the hierarchy. I am hoping that there is a renewed focus on the poor and disenfranchised, and that lesbian women and gay men can marry without interference of the Church. And I am hoping that Church leaders will speak out when there is violence against LGBT persons.
Now that summer is behind us, life returns to normal. Days get shorter and colder. Another school year has begun. Routines are re-established. As DignityUSA saw the fiscal year end in September, there was a change in Board leadership. We thank outgoing Board members, Paula Lavallee, Mark Matson, and Linda Pieczynski, for their many years of service. We welcome newly elected Board members Mary Kaye Radtke and Ray Panas as they join the Board of Directors at our in-person meeting in Ft. Lauderdale.
This autumn will keep our Executive Director busy! Recently, Marianne and Jim Smith met with our Equally Blessed partners in Philadelphia. Then within a few days of that meeting, Marianne represented DignityUSA at the Women-Church Convergence, which celebrated its 30th anniversary. The DignityUSA Board of Directors will be meeting the following weekend.
DignityUSA’s work proudly continues as it has for the last 44 years. It will be quite a while before the more positive words of Francis are put into concrete action throughout the United States and the rest of the world, but until then we will continue to march forward.
