Fresno,
May 1, 2017 – 100 Lutherans in red shirts will be volunteering throughout Fresno on May 3<sup>rd </sup>in
celebration of the 500<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Reformation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Activities include: handing out free
“Lutheran coffee” at the corner of Shaw and Fresno, a food pantry at Our
Saviour’s Lutheran, sandwich making and distribution to local homeless
individuals and a free performance and talk by Agustin Lira at Hope Lutheran
Church.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"Feeding the hungry and
advocating for our neighbors is how Lutherans make our faith visible in the
world.” said the Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer, Executive Director of the Welcome
Ministry. "Lutherans throughout Fresno
will also be visible in their red shirts that celebrate the 500<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary of the Reformation,"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Reformation, which began with
Martian Luther’s nailing of the 95 theses on October 31, 1517, inspires
Lutherans to support their neighbors and care in gratitude of God’s love for
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, Lutheran’s throughout
the world will be celebrating the 500<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the
Reformation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Lutheran Day of Service in Fresno, was made possible by a grant from the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America to promote a wider
understanding of the Reformation message and its significance for faith and
life in the 21st century.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"Far too often the only
Christians who are visible are the ones who are angry, Lutherans want to be
known for their service, justice and celebrations," said Pastor
Rohrer. "The Reformation reminds us that God loves all people in
this beautifully diverse world, regardless of politics, immigration or economic
status.”</div>

Welcome's
Executive Director, the Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer, was recently sworn in as
a voluntary chaplain to the San Francisco Police Department. The first
LGBTQ individual to serve in this role, Pastor Megan is working with
the SFPD to create a new community chaplaincy program that will provide
free training for faith leaders. <br /><br />Welcome is currently working
to raise the funds needed to create a new non-profit called "Friends of
the SFPD Chaplaincy," because we believe that volunteer faith leaders
can help support officers who are often being called to police quality
of life issues. <br /><br />You can learn more about this project at: <a _mce_href="http://www.sfpdchaplaincy.com" _mce_shape="rect" _mce_style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.sfpdchaplaincy.com/" shape="rect" style="color: blue ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;">www.sfpdchaplaincy.com</a><br /><a _mce_href="http://www.sfpdchaplaincy.com/donate" _mce_shape="rect" _mce_style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.sfpdchaplaincy.com/donate" shape="rect" style="color: blue ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="_blank">To learn more about the in-kind and financial donations Welcome is collecting, click here</a>. <br /><br /></div>

Welcome
continues to partner with SF CARES and Project Homeless Connect to
provide free prescription glasses for San Francisco's homeless. In
addition to providing about 1,000 pairs of glasses to individuals
between large Project Homeless Connect events, Welcome has pledged to
raise $30,000 to provide all the glasses given away at their large
events at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. This will result in an
additional 3,000 pairs of prescription eye glasses being provided to
individuals in need. <br /></div>
<div _mce_style="text-align: justify;" align="justify" style="text-align: justify;">
The
first $10,000 has already been sent to Project Homeless Connect thanks
to matching funds from the Google Foundation through HandUp. Your
support will help us raise the additional $20,000 needed to reach our
goal. <br /><br />You can learn more about the vision events here:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="imgCaptionTable OneColumnMobile mceItemTable" data-padding-converted="true" style="text-align: center; width: 300px;"><tbody>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="StreetRequiem"></a><b>Street Requiem: </b>Despite being nominally retired, Alameda resident and famed diva Frederica von Stade, aka <a href="http://sfist.com/2015/09/15/%C3%AChttp://sfist.com/2008/03/18/sfist_interview_14.php%C3%AE">Flicka</a>,
still shares her big talent and bigger heart for worthy causes. Last
week, she brought her voice to a choir of singers recruited from the
homeless ranks of San Francisco for the West Coast premiere of <a href="http://sfist.com/2015/09/15/%C3%AChttp://www.credochoir.org/streetrequiem/%C3%AC"><i>Street Requiem</i></a>, an oratorio celebrating people who lived and died on the streets. The evening supported <a href="http://sfist.com/2015/09/15/%C3%AChttp://www.singersofthestreet.org/%C3%AC">Singers of the Street</a>,
an organization funded in 2010 by Kathleen McGuire, who with her fellow
Australian Andy Payne and Jonathon Welch, also composed the music for
the requiem. Singers of the Street is a choir for homeless people, who
get a sense of purpose and achievement from participating in the choir, a
community to be part of, and provide a positive and human experience of
homelessness to audiences. They accept <a href="http://sfist.com/2015/09/15/%C3%AChttps://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=743039966&vlrStratCode=IuT0TOD6%2fh2Z8iunrvo1Rihi6VPtaaBPDoE%2feY1BjiobwNAj0UjqDK4%2bxeyn5Wbl%C3%AE">donations</a>.<br />
<br />
We thought we should check in our cynicism at the door for a concert
where the betterment of humankind is achieved by singing together.
Heart-warming stories don't necessarily make great art. This was
reinforced by a little welcome pitch from Rev. Megan Rohrer, whose
congregation hosts the rehearsals and who asked for our leniency for the
singers, and extolled their "courage to sing the wrong note." And it
turns out that these guys are pretty darn good and would match any
amateur choir in the city. No need for indulgence on the audience's
part.<br />
<br />
The concert was set in two halves, the first devoted to covers by
Singers of the Street, and the second to the Street Requiem, with Flicka
and a bunch of experienced singers. The acronym for the organization
is SOS, and the first song was appropriately the Beatles' "Help"; it was
followed by calls for solidarity and songs of positive affirmation, and
they all took a pretty emotional color from the context. The performers
of SOS literally sang their hearts out: you could hardly imagine
performers giving more into a performance.<br />
<br />
As for the <i>Street Requiem</i>, it is composed of ten sections,
each with a different color, re-interpreting the typical Requiem format
with Kyrie, Gloria, Dies Irae, Agnus Dei, etc, but updated with current
texts in different languages. The opener gets Middle Eastern scales, an
Irish folk song is appropriated for the ninth movement, percussive South
African beats in the eighth. It is meant to be inclusive of all
cultures. Some movements are of more indeterminate origins, but were
always rooted in tonal harmonies. Flicka gets the most beautiful melody
in the Pie Jesu. The orchestration sometimes feels a bit studious, it
could be a bit more free and unpredictable; but there is a lot of
generosity in the writing of the score and the energy of the Gloria is
contagious. The <i>Street Requiem</i> has been performed in Australia,
Dallas, and will be sung in Seattle, and we hope the composers keep
staging it and tweaking it, it is a piece of great emotional power. And a
testament that you can better the lives of people through singing.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067095754718732780.post-55862588478691386172015-09-07T21:47:00.002-07:002015-09-07T21:47:35.187-07:00In the News: San Mateo Daily Journal<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="width: 95%px;"><tbody>

mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade will join with a mass chorus of
singers and chamber orchestra in two California premiere performances of
<em>Street Requiem</em> by Australian composers Dr. Kathleen McGuire,
Andy Payne, and Dr. Jonathon Welch AM. Other vocal soloists include
Blake Quin, Ilyas Iliya and Mark Jackson.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week, it was also announced that <em>Street Requiem</em> has
been selected as a semi-finalist in the professional choral composition
division of The American Prize national non-profit competitions in the
performing arts. (For more information, see
http://theamericanprize.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/composer-semi-finalists-2015-choral.html)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
McGuire, who is well known to Bay Area audiences having led the San
Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus and others from 2000 to 2013, will return
from Melbourne, Australia, to conduct Street Requiem on Saturday, August
29, at 7:00pm at Old First Presbyterian Church at 1751 Sacramento
Street, San Francisco, and on Sunday, August 30, at 2:00pm at the
Congregational Church of San Mateo, 225 Tilton<br />
Avenue in San Mateo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The concert is a benefit for Singers of the Street (SOS), which
McGuire founded in 2010. Now led by Ashley Moore and a project of
Welcome, SOS is a choir of San Franciscans who have experienced, or are
at risk of, homelessness. Its mission is to raise their voices for
justice, healing and joy. SOS will open the concert and will also sing
with the mass choir in <em>Street Requiem</em>.</div>

provides a musical opportunity for us to mourn not only the homeless
who have passed away, but also our own frustration that there are still
so many homeless individuals living in streets and shelters,” said the
Rev. Megan Rohrer, Executive Director of Welcome. “Beyond a one of a
kind concert experience, audience members can also celebrate that the
price of admission enables homeless individuals to heal and express
themselves for years to come.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Composed in 2014, <em>Street Requiem</em> has already received
international acclaim. Music critic Wayne Lee Gay (Dallas Magazine)
said: “A remarkable, unique and beautiful work…an unfailingly engaging
cantata. The religious texts were constantly questioned, but with an
effect that produces transformation rather than blasphemy. The audience
is never let off the hook: in the final movement, the chorus intones, as
if to remind those who observe suffering are as much in need of divine
intervention and guidance as those who suffer directly: ‘Given them
peace. Give us peace.’”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Street Requiem</em> is a 40-minute multi-movement cantata scored
for choirs, soloists, and chamber orchestras. It aims to bring a sense
of peace, remembrance, and hope to communities struggling with
homelessness, poverty, war, hate-crime and street violence. The work is
neither secular nor religious, but is intended to be spiritual and
includes English and African lyrics, as well as traditional Latin texts.
While at times deeply moving, the work is optimistic and uplifting, and
employs Gospel, Celtic, neo-Romantic, neo-Baroque, and contemporary
compositional styles and instrumentation to reflect the multicultural
and multi-faith traditions of modern city living.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
McGuire said, “<em>Street Requiem</em> provides an opportunity to
mourn those we’ve lost—often ‘nameless’ on our streets—and to protest
the tragic injustices we witness every day. These are global issues, but
we can each make a difference, one by one. Ms. von Stade’s generous
participation is a testament to the importance of this project and the
wider cause.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ms. von Stade will be joined on stage by a mass choir including
singers from The Choral Project (San Jose), the Chancel Choir of the
Congregational Church of San Mateo, singers from CREDO (Dallas, Texas,
who performed the U.S. premiere in January), and Singers of the Street
(San Francisco). Accompaniment will be provided by members of the
Community Women’s Orchestra, and Carl Pantle will play piano.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Rehearsals led by Stephanie Lynne Smith, Grace Renaud, Daniel Hughes,
Dana Sadava, Dr. Jonathan Palant and Carl Pantle are currently underway
in San Francisco and San Mateo; singers wishing to participate should

Meagan Taylor, a black transgender woman who was arrested in Iowa when a hotel worker called the police due to her gender identity, was released from the Polk County Jail earlier today. Welcome, led by our Executive Director, Pastor Megan Rohrer raised over $5,500 to pay for Meagan's bond in Iowa and outstanding fees from a 2010 case in Illinois. Additional funds will be used to safely transport Meagan home to Illinois and to pay for her name change and an ID that matches her preferred name and gender.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"My tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy when I learned that Meagan was going to be released from jail," said Pastor Rohrer. "I want to thank the 133 people who donated funds to help us remove the financial barriers and the Transgender Law Center who expedited the legal barriers that were keeping Meagan in jail."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pastor Rohrer has been in regular contact with Meagan and her family, offering support and pastoral care. Welcome, whose main work is with LGBT homeless individuals in San Francisco, became involved in this case in order to lift up the issues that disproportionately affect transgender women of color and to raise awareness to the ways that compounding fees can impact vulnerable individuals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the years, Welcome has taken on special projects to support to LGBTQ individuals around the country, because we believe it will help prevent homelessness in San Francisco.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I have heard too many stories from homeless LGBT individuals who moved to San Francisco in hopes of finding safety from discrimination, only to find some of the country's highest housing costs," said Pastor Rohrer. "I hope the overwhelming support that Meagan has received, will help other transgender people feel less alone and lead to diversity training for individuals working in hospitality, criminal justice and police departments across the country.</div>

Meagan Nicole Taylor, is a transgender woman who lives in St. Louis. While on a trip with a friend, a hotel manager called the police (possibly twice), because Taylor's identification did not match the name and gender identity that Taylor has used with family and friends for years. <br />
<br />
"What happened to me, was definitely based on my gender. Transgender people are being gender and racially profiled and it has to stop<b>," </b>Taylor said.<br />
<br />
Woken up by a knock at the hotel door around 9 am, Taylor was taken into custody because she did not have the prescription for her hormone treatments with her and for how she spoke to the officers, whom she felt were unjustly arresting her. <br />
<br />
Thinking back on her arrest, Taylor says: <b>"</b>To the woman at the hotel and police officers who arrested me, I
have no ill will towards you. I think God will take care of it and
help you gain more education about transgender individuals. LGBTQ
individuals are very happy and peaceful people."<br />
<br />
Taylor was told that she would be held without release until trial, scheduled for August 10, 2015 and was feeling frustrated that she would not be able to prove that she had a prescription for her medications for nearly a month. On top of the $2,000 bond for Taylor's release, $500 fine from a 2010 offense had tripled due to fees and penalties and a warrant from Illinois could not be dropped until the $1,713.20 fine was paid in full.<br />
<br />
The Welcome Ministry, led by the transgender Lutheran pastor Megan Rohrer, has raised $3,601 as of 9:12 am on July 19th and will be working with Taylor's aunt to pay both the fines in Iowa and Illinois. Updated information on the funds to free Taylor can be found at: http://sfwelcomeministry.blogspot.com/2015/07/arrested-for-being-transgender-meagan.html<br />
<br />
"Raised in the Midwest and a frequent traveler," Rohrer said, "I often fear that what happened to Meagan will happen to me. I hope Meagan's story raises awareness, so that this never happens in Iowa or anywhere else in the country again."<br />
<br />
"Think about if one of your kids was transgender. What would you do? And, how would you want society to treat them?" said Taylor.<br />
<br />
Welcome's goal is to pay the fines and hopefully get Taylor release on Monday morning. When she is released, supporters plan to have some of Taylor's favorite foods on hand (hot pickle, fried chicken and shrimp).<br />
<br />
"I am thankful for all the support," said Taylor, who was moved to tears by the outpouring of support from over 80 donors and the transgender artists who had been forwarding information about the cause along on twitter.<br />
<br />
Any additional funds, above the amount needed to pay for the fees for Taylor's release will be used to support LGBTQ homeless individuals in San Francisco and projects to uplift the voices of transgender individuals living in poverty.<br />
<br />
"Meagan has a family that loves and supports her and a strong desire to support other LGBTQ individuals who are vulnerable, facing discrimination and in need of support. After we get Meagan out of jail and she gets some rest, Welcome will continue to help her tell her story," said Pastor Rohrer.<br />

Thank you to everyone who has supported the effort to help pay the fees
and bond needed to get Meagan out of jail. If you would like to donate
to Welcome to support our other work with LGBTQ homeless individuals
you are welcome to use the donate button above.<span style="color: #444444;"><b> </b></span></h4>

<h4>
Now that Meagan is Free if you would like to provide her with additional funds or support, please contact her directly. </h4>

<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Funds raised and designated to Welcome to "Free Meagan": $4,719</b></span></h3>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>$955 in additional undesignated donations to Welcome between 6/21 and 7/23 were approved by the Welcome Board to cover additional fees (if needed) and to ensure that Meagan is able to legally change her name and get a new ID. We apologize for not being clearer about this earlier, but our priority was Meagan's privacy, getting Meagan out of jail and ensuring that she was able to make her own decisions without pressure. Donations will not be deposited in to Welcome's bank account until 8/13/2015.</b></span></h4>

<b>Final Expense Accounting: </b></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>$88 in web conferencing fees with Meagan in jail</li>
<li>$2,276 wired funds to pay Meagan's bond at the Polk County Jail (<i>$2,100 of this will be returned after Meagan appears in court or the charges are dropped</i>)</li>
<li>$1,825 wired funds to Meagan's family that paid her fees in Illinois </li>
<li>$646 funds wired to Meagan in Iowa</li>
<li>$546 Instead of actual expenses for name change and ID fees, Meagan has opted to receive $500 to get the money in advance.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Meagan Taylor was the only individual making decisions about how funds were expended. </b>Welcome did not reimburse or accept requests for unsolicited reimbursement. We were saddened that so many strangers, expected funds raised to pay for Meagan Taylor's legal, would be distributed to them. <b></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>* <b>Notice that has been on this donation page, since start of the campaign:</b> Welcome is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donation will
be acknowledged with a letter for your tax records. We are committed to paying Meagan's fees. Any remaining donations raised above the actual cost of fees will be used to support LGBTQ homeless youth and transgender individuals living in poverty. Meagan has requested that we pay it forward to other people in need. </i></div>

Meagan Taylor was arrested in Des Moines because she was transgender and it upset hotel staff. She is currently being held in Polk County Jail with a $2,000 bail amount. You can learn more about the case here: <a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/rekha-basu/2015/07/16/arrested-transgender-sex-inmate-tests-jailers/30269945/">http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/rekha-basu/2015/07/16/arrested-transgender-sex-inmate-tests-jailers/30269945/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We don't know all the information about Meagan's story, nor do we wait to help people until we learn all the details of their past. Poverty is complicated and no one is perfect. Deeply rooted in faith, we believe that all people deserve another chance. If you agree, we hope you will help raise attention to this issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While not homeless, Meagan's story is familiar to us. At Welcome, we have traveled the country to document the stories of LGBTQ homeless youth. And the affects of laws targeting homeless youth and LGBT individuals of color.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is a video from New York to learn more about some of the issues that Meagan is experiencing.</div>

<i>A partnership of St. Francis Lutheran Church and Welcome in San Francisco, The Hospitality Hour Program serves breakfast every Sunday at 7:30am to the homeless and hungry living in the Casto/Duboce Triangle Neighborhood. </i><b><i> </i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Why this Meal is Important? </b> 56% of individuals living with
HIV/AIDS in San Francisco do not have enough food to regularly take
their medications. For many HIV+ individuals, their food insecurity are
due to limitations on income that are a part of local and state health
care requirements. The Hospitality Hour provides breakfast and hospitality to some of the most vulnerable residents of San
Francisco.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>How Can You Help?</b> Individual and group volunteers are needed every Saturday from 9:30am-1pm to sort food donations and prep food and
every Sunday from 7:30-9:30am to serve food, eat with guests and help
us clean up. You can help once, annually, monthly or weekly. Let us know your coming or simply join us at St. Francis Lutheran Church (152 Church St.) Volunteers need to push the button marked "parish hall" on the front gate to enter the building. </div>
<br />
<b>Ready to start volunteering?</b> Email <a href="mailto:sfcares@welcomeministry.org">sfcares@welcomeministry.org</a> and let us know you're interested in volunteering at the Hospitality Hour on Saturdays and/or Sundays.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The weekly Tuesday meals at Old First, which have
fed 548 individuals this year, have been serving an increasing number of guests
over the past few months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pastor Maggi,
of Old First, created a relationship with the Blue Fog Deli and Market on Polk
and Sacramento, who now provide free day-old pastries and bread for the Welcome
meals. This has resulted in more substantial meals, which the guests
appreciate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the past few months, the
leadership at the meals have been able to provide tickets to a musical
performance, phone calls to social workers and representative payees, clothing
referrals to the St Vincent de Paul's Help Desk, prayers for those who ask for
them, mail service and accompaniment to the County Welfare office.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our 2<sup>nd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup>
Saturday meals have feed 1,320 individuals so far this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have stopped giving away clothing at our
Old First meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Individuals interested
in donating clothes, should take them to our St. Francis location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guests who are in need of clothing or
blankets are directed to see leaders at Old First, who will make clothing
referrals, or distribute some of the small supply of clothing and blankets that
are typically on hand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Volunteers who
had previously taken on clothing distribution at Old First meals are now
distributing toiletries and socks, when we have them. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">One issue Welcome has been looking at,
and will continue to explore, is the possibility of eliminating the line
outside of the church on Saturday evenings. There have been no complaints so
far, but we would like to encourage our guests to spend the time waiting
elsewhere - hopefully in a place more comfortable than the sidewalk – in light
of the fact that being first in line does not mean one is served first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once inside the church, there is no line for
guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone sits and is served
restaurant style.</span></div>
