Our Inner Georgio
by ADL Founder Rev. Dr. Barbara Selwa
Dear Ones,
Once there was a man named Georgio who owned an ice cream parlor and made his own ice cream, which was
Once there was a man named Georgio who owned an ice cream parlor and made his own ice cream, which was
deemed delicious from far and near. When Georgio got almost to the bottom the big vats he stored his ice cream in,
he deftly mixed the remains into colorful cross flavors, such as banana/lime and blueberry/peach. These, too, were accepted by his
customers, who would ask him, "What is this flavor?" and, "I've never encountered this strange new flavor."
Remember, my dear ones, that we discussed in another article the emergence of such "strange flavors" when meeting the inner debris of
casting off Earth pseudo truths. You progressed spiritually to the beginning of manifesting through God contact. You have obtained much
success. But, suddenly out of nowhere comes a mysterious new problem in your life. It is full of snags -- and places these in your daily
life. It may knock your finances down. It may emotionally push you to the brink. What is going on, you ask? How does this process
work?

A Letter From Our President
Rev. Charlotte McGinnis
Namasté, Fellow Ministers!
You may be familiar with the quote, "The only thing that is constant in life is change." I am noticing
that in my life, as well as the lives of most people I know, change is more constant than ever. We are also witnessing
change in our world systems that are happening at lightning speed. As you all have noticed, our ministry has been
going through extreme changes as well...and they are all in divine order. (Even though it doesn't always seem that
way!)
We have recently cancelled our contract with Church Shield, the organization that has been managing our account for
the past several months. Although we felt this was an ideal situation for us, they were unable to keep up the account. I
want to make clear that they are a wonderful organization, and that they have been open and honest with us and in the
highest of integrity. We were a square peg in a round hole for them, as we are not a typical "Church" organization. I
thank them for their efforts!

ADL Update
Rev. Dr. Becky Rector
Letters with stickers are being mailed. Thank you for paying your dues. If you have not yet paid
your dues, please pay now to avoid late fees.
Happy almost Fall season, ADL Ministers! This is the time to reflect on the leaves that we have
had on our trees in life as they gently fall away. Notice the beautiful colors falling, and reflect
on what they represent in your life. What is falling away, to make way for the new? What are
you ready to shed this year? This year has been filled with growing opportunities in so many of our lives. Now is the
time to reflect on these lessons, and how we have done. Now we honor the most important person to honor--our
selves.
Our teachings are all about finding what is truly the Greatest Degree of Love for all. Often, we leave out honoring our
selves. It is important to honor our commitments to ourselves. Honor our agreements to meditate and pray more, live
healthier lives, focus on only positive things, and let go of lack and fear. When we commit to ourselves, we must
honor that commitment. As we begin to see the leaves fall (or in more tropical states feel the energy of the fall),
reflect back on this year as we go into the season of rest, followed by planting new seeds next spring.
Wishing you all love and gratitude in The Greatest Degree of Love.

Timeless items, like papers and thoughtful expressions, are under the Newsletter menu, categorized by author.
Timeless items are now being assigned keywords, in preparation for the publication of an annual anthology of the
collected wisdom of the ministers of the ADL, which will be sold through the Store. A smart-phone app is planned as
well, which will allow you to pull up timeless submissions by keyword, to serve as sermon starters. It might be called
Sermonapp.

$15 spot ad in the next E-Newsletter, so as to partially cover our monthly expenses of bringing this newsletter to you.

My thoughts this month are a bit frivolous, but perhaps a little fun. I wrote a short ghost story for the national Florida
conference contest, neglecting to observe the word limit, which I thought did not apply to ghosts. Wrong. So I post it
here. Enjoy! Read the Specter in the Parlor...

Carolinas Chapter
Since last month, there have been significant changes within the Carolina Chapter. Rev.
Pamela Meyer Crissey has taken a leave of absence as president of the chapter and is currently
helping Rev. Dr. Becky Rector with the transitions within ADL as we move procedures away
from Church Shield and back within ADL. They are both working hard right now to finalize the dues payments and get
letters out to all ministers. Other steps are being taken to put smooth flowing systems in place.
As this E-News is about to be sent out, we are preparing for a quarterly ADL Carolinas Chapter Seminar on September

"The Human Spirit" Multi-faith and Multicultural Library Collection Opened August 17, 2014
at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Library
The Heartland ADL Revs. Mary and Greg McCoy's vision for The Human
Spirit multicultural/multi-faith library collection began as a concept early in 2012-an idea that,
in a city with the size and diversity of Greater Kansas City, everyone should have easy access to information that will
help them to understand the rich diversity of faiths and cultures within the population of not only our local community,
but our global community.
In March, 2013, Mary and Greg's organization, Cultural Crossroads, received a "challenge grant" of $5,000 from the
Shumaker Family Foundation to be awarded if a like sum was raised by September 1 of that year. Mary and Greg then
instituted the Books That Build Bridges campaign to raise those funds, and, in August, 2013, hosted the appearance of
Joseph Rosendo of Travelscope on PBS, as a fundraiser for the collection. Along with other appeals, Cultural
Crossroads raised the funds necessary to meet the challenge grant, and over the next 10 to 11 months, worked closely
with the staff and administration of the Kansas City Public Library System and faith directors of the Greater Kansas
City Council (GKCIC,) to make the collection a reality.

The Sky Picture, September 2014
Rev. Linda Bender
The Sun is in Virgo through September 22 and the harvest goddess has an exciting year ahead!
Jupiter is in your solar twelfth house through August, 2015. Jupiter can act as your guardian
angel, but you have to work through your own challenges. Saturn, in Scorpio, is in your solar
third house through December 22nd. Work on a more flowing communication and learn to
listen more. Saturn enters Sagittarius the end of December, your solar fourth house of home and
family roots. Saturn will remain there until December, 2017 and you will be striving for more stability in
your personal life.
Uranus is in your solar eighth house until 2018 which represents joint finances, sex, and life and death
situations. Get your finances in order and try to balance intimate relationships. Pluto remains in your solar
creative fifth house through 2023. You can show your creativity in many different ways whether it is
writing, art, music, acting, sewing or whatever you love. You may also be involved with children and their
activities. It is also the time avoid gambling and taking risks.
