U.S. Unitarian Minister & Peace activist speaks at Melbourne
Rev. Paul Sawyer addressing the 2002 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association (USA & Canada) on the Palestine-Israel Conflict and the United States "War on Terrorism" Paul Sawyer, minister of Throop Unitarian Universalist Memorial Church, Pasadena CA presented his position on this issue. He said, "In this year of world crisis that hit the U.S. in the face, we see a culmination of enormous military power that leaves almost 80% of the people of the world impoverished. This resolution was passed by the UU Ministers of the Pacific SouthWest District by a vote of 25 to 4 with 4 abstentions. The use of international law, world courts, and the UN peacekeeping force and the redirecting of the obscene amounts of money falling into militarism.We UU leaders and other world religious leaders ask for your support of these principles." Hear Rev. Paul Sawyer speak on Peace, Globalisation and the Media from a progressive American perspective At the Melbourne Unitarian Peace Memorial Church 110 Grey Street, East Melbourne (opposite Mercy Hospital) Sunday Service 23rd March 2003 at 11AM - "American Imperium or the United Nations" Sunday Service 30th March 2003 at 11AM - "Peace from a Religious perspective" A short Bio of Rev. Paul Sawyer from Henry Kroll Paul has been a dynamic leader in the Unitarian Universalist (UU) movement within the United States and helped initiate Unitarian Universalist groups in Russia on behalf of the UUA in the early 1990's. I have known Paul for over 20 years during my active membership in the San Francisco California Unitarian Universalist congregation. He is one of the first leaders in our our movement to recognize the importance and value to our society and culture of the dominating rule that electronic media play in establishing values in our society. He helped form the Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community which is now an international group of UU's looking at the issues of Corporate Globalization which seems to many the underlying principle of the "New World Order" established by the "Washington Consensus" since the fall of the Soviet Union. We know that many people in Australia are vitally engaged with this problem and have participated in international conferences on this topic. Paul is one of the few people at least in our movement who understands the relationship between the on-going support of Corporate Globalization in the new model of "empire" and the ideological role of the MEDIA in the United States. Paul has also is quite active with the most dynamic interfaith group of clergy, laity and community groups that I believe is functioning in the United States on a regional level, namely Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP) where he serves on their Media Committee. I have been at international conferences of academics and journalists, lawyers and historians where Paul is one of the few clergy leaders to actively engage and confront the system of media control in the United States and suggest remedies for MEDIA JUSTICE in the USA and around the world with respect for the cultural sovereignty of all peoples. From my long 30 years in the television and radio world of public broadcasting in the United States, I feel that Rev. Sawyer can provide a refreshing up date to the people of Melbourne far beyond the congregation of Unitarian Universalists and share with them the experiences of working for PEACE in the United States, on the media where Paul does WEEKLY RADIO COMMENTARIES for Public Radio in Los Angeles (the 7th largest Metro Port in the World today) and his participation at marches and rallies for peace in both San Francisco and Los Angeles as sadly our nation is prepared by our government for unprecedented type of warfare.
