Our Father who art in heaven, bless the fathers who are on earth; Those who work hard every day to light a path and show the way; Those who forget and don't perceive the devastation when they leave. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Help the earthly fathers know and praise your name in daily flow, Making no difference between the holy realm and worldly scene. Give us this day our daily bread. And for the dads without a job, Strengthen their faith in Provider God. Feed them with the bread of love The wine of justice The meat of determination The fruit of the spirit; That they will remember how Jesus gave himself for us Demonstrating that there are many ways for a MAN TO GIVE. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Teach our men the ways of peace Desiring that all violence shall cease Whether husband/wife, parents/children Black on black, nation to nation Neither tongue, hand, gun, knife No shock and awe, no fiery towers . . . Help humanity learn HOW TO FORGIVE. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Guide all daddies to be wise. Give them strength of soul to seek the prize Of a world without racism or greed, A world where no child is left in need, A world where cheaters cannot win, Salvation reigns, there is no sin. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.

We had a great meeting as we discussed A Fierce Radi-
ance by Lauren Belfer. And discussed the impact of
women on history.
Next month we will be discussing Ada Blackjack by Jen-
nifer Niven:
In September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a
diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep
into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate
Wrangel Island for Great Britain. Two years later, Ada
Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious
polar expedition. This young, unskilled woman--who had
headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband--
conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and sur-
vived all alone after her male companions had perished.
Following her triumphant return to civilization, the inter-
national press proclaimed her the female Robinson Cru-
soe. But whatever stories the press turned out came from
the imaginations of reporters: Ada Blackjack refused to
speak to anyone about her horrific two years in the Arctic.
Only on one occasion--after charges were published
falsely accusing her of causing the death of one her com-
panions--did she speak up for herself.
We will be meeting on June 24th at 7:00 p.m. at the home
of Nancy King, for directions please call 337-3033.
