Carrie Holley-Hurt<br \/>May 31, 2026<br \/>First UU Church of Austin<br \/>4700 Grover Ave., Austin, TX 78756<br \/>www.austinuu.org<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There is what we aspire to be&#8230;.the utopian vision of how we can be, and then there is the often harsh and painful reality of people&#8217;s lived experiences. Inspired by Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez&#8217;s powerful work &#8220;Voces Olvidadas,&#8221; Rev. Carrie will explore what it means to expand our capacity to hold what we are working for while also holding reality, especially the realities that are living in so much suffering.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"4\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Welcome<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><u>Carrie<\/u><br \/>I want to welcome a very special guest today. We have the composer of this amazing piece that&#8217;s going to be performed throughout our worship service today, and he wants to come up and tell a little bit about this. So please welcome Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><u>Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez<\/u><br \/>The piece is called Voces Olvidadas, Forgotten Voices. And the piece is about a piece of history in my country that is painful. And so you might have heard throughout the years that Colombia had a very intense internal conflict starting in the 1950s. And there was a peace treaty that was signed in 2017. So things are much better now, for sure.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If you have been to Colombia recently, and you were before, you would know that the&#8230; the country has changed a lot. There is a specific piece of history in this large range of time that I mentioned, in the 90s, after 1995 to almost 2000.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There was a moment in history in which the two parties that were in this conflict, which were mainly the government and the leftist guerrillas, they were getting into this into this dynamic in which the guerrillas were kidnapping military men and policemen to, in a way, blackmail the government to put some pressure on the government. And so, unfortunately, there were men who were kidnapped for many, many, many years. The person who was longest was Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez, not related to me. He was kidnapped for 14 years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And so the piece is about the humanity that is left for these people who were kidnapped. So the piece is about, in general, Within these horrific events and the middle of this internal conflict.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Usually when composers write music for choir, they choose beautiful poems that have beautiful musicality in them. They have, you know, they like that. I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I prefer using texts that are not supposed to be musical, that are not supposed to be beautiful. So in this case, this piece is using text from three sources.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">One is the Colombian constitution itself. And so a constitution for any country is very utopian text that we read and we read what we&#8217;re supposed to be, but most of the times we&#8217;re not that because many factors. So the Colombian constitution is one source.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The other source is journalistic reports about these events. Just a journalist writing or narrating what&#8217;s happening and interviewing people.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And the last one is the most complicated source, is that these prisoners, they sent videos to share with the families. And these videos had communications directly to the government, but also had communications to their families.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So they were talking to the president, talking to the governors, to the ministers. But then they were talking also to their families. They were also personal saying, &#8220;hey, Martha, please take care of mom, please pay the rent, please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So there&#8217;s a mix of very, very impersonal accounts and communications versus the president, &#8220;please sign the peace treaty, please help us, we&#8217;re in a dire situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So I watched many of those videos and I took some excerpts of that and that is the last movement, it is called Messages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Prelude<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Voces Olvidadas&#8221; (excerpt) (Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez) &#8211; Unwound Sound &amp; the First UU Adult Vocal Ensemble<\/p>\nThe text in this piece is slight modifications of excerpts extracted from the Constitution of Columbia, proof of survival videos on Youtube by some of the army and police members kidnapped by FARC, and accounts of the guerrilla attacks by civilians published by Columbian newpapers.

Carrie Holley-Hurt<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Voces Olvidadas&#8230; the forgotten voices. Isn&#8217;t this music so powerful?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">We are getting to hear just a bit of this wonderful work by Jose Martinez but you can hear the entire work this afternoon at 3pm. And not only that you will also get to support the Austin Sanctuary Network.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Through this piece of art, Jose tells the story of contrast The utopia that exists in the Columbian constitution VS The lived experiences of humans taken hostage. Humans whose constitutional rights were violated by groups using them as leverage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">He has used art to bring humanity into a situation that can be so easily stripped of its humanity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">That so easily could be turned into statistics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">A situation where so many people&#8217;s voices and lives have already been forgotten.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The genesis of this work for Jose, was learning about Private Libio Jose Martinez who was captured, like many others, by FARC in 1997.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Libio&#8217;s life was cut short. His girlfriend was pregnant with their child Steven when he was taken. His son would only see his father once in his casket because he was killed 14 years into being a hostage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Even though Steven grew up without the physical presence of this father he did have a sort of relationship with him. Like many hostages and their families they communicated through tapes. The hostage takers would put out proof of life tapes so that the government and the population would know that the hostages were still alive&#8230; still collateral. And probably, incidentally, gave the families hope.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Radio stations set up opportunities for families to send in tapes talking directly to their loved ones. For years Steven, like many other children, told his dad about his life through the tapes that were broadcast.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Voices going back and forth between loved ones, building relationships and providing one another comfort even as they were caught between power and power.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">This work we are hearing is a beautiful example of how art can humanize us. Humanize all of us. Those that are harmed and those that harm. How it can bring to us what we have forgotten.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It is also profoundly powerful because in away it gives a voice to so many who have been forgotten.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">While this work is about what was happening in Columbia, especially in the 1990s, it is also about how humanity exists even within the violence. Even in conflict, and oppression, and marginalization.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Even in these horrible things that we can do to one another, there is still the human need to connect,&#8230;to be heard.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I see that in the videos coming out of Gaza, Sudan, Congo.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I see it in the way the children imprisoned in the Dilley detention center gathered in the prison yard and yelled &#8220;libertad, liberated!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The way that people, even those living under constant threat of violence send their voice out hoping that someone will hear them.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And it should be us that hears them right?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It should be a people grounded in universalism, in the inherent worthiness of all people<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In interdependence<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">People who see the divine spark in all people<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">People who believe in building the beloved community<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It&#8217;s us that should hear, right?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I feel that responsibility. To hear.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And because I feel it I know that&#8217;s both a heavy and often impossible feeling.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Impossible because my capacity feels lacking, even if my soul is willing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There is a wise story that we tell each other. We say &#8220;We were never meant to live in a way that we knew so much about people outside of our small Village.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There is a lot of wisdom there. There is an acknowledgement of yes, its hard to have so much information about so much pain and suffering and to be thousands of miles away or powerless to stop it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Ultimately, It&#8217;s a message of comfort&#8230; I hear you, this hurts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">This story also says, your work is here. Your work is in your little sphere of influence.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And I think that is true. I think that is right in a lot of ways.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I think we should put our energy into the tangible things we can do, here.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But&#8230;. what about our broken hearts?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Maybe we were never meant to know what was happening outside our little piece of the world but&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">We still have these broken hearts about all that is going out everywhere.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And those broken hearts are a sign that the reality is that we will be concerned about people outside our sphere of influence.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And maybe we actually lost that right to be so narrowly focused when our actions started to impact others?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">When what we put in the water hurt the animals downstream.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">When our desire to expand our territory meant people had to leave their home or die?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">When we build our wealth because others were&#8230; and are&#8230; exploited&#8230;. enslaved&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">When our tax dollars pay for guns, prisons, the missiles that tear peoples&#8217; homes and lives apart?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Didn&#8217;t our species long ago lose the right to only care about what is in front of us?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I think so<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And I think, oh god but how?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There is so much pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">From the oppression by the Chinese government of the Uyghurs to the oppression of our own government of trans people, people of the global majority. people without citizenship privilege.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So many people are being harmed.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So many voices are crying out.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Hoping that someone will hear them That they will connect That they will see their humanity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">How do we expand and \/or evolve these primitive minds of ours to catch up with the ways that we are all connected? The ways that our actions impact people all over the world?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Maybe we need to tell ourselves a different story about who our neighbors are&#8230; who we should include in our sphere of care and concern.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Which means we need to look to an ancient text.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In the Christian Bible, Rabbi Jesus teaches in the story of the good samaritan<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">that the question isn&#8217;t so much who is my neighbor but rather who am I being a neighbor to. It&#8217;s a really interesting way of changing how we see ourselves in relation to others by tying our identity to how we regard the other person. In the case of the Samaritan it is a man who sees another man beaten and dying and takes it upon himself to take care of him. In this story it is the Samaritan&#8217;s mercy that makes him a neighbor to the injured man. It is also his willingness to see the person in his path.<br \/>&#8211; Luke 10: 25-37<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">I think we often have a hard time seeing all the people in our path. Especially as people living in the wealthiest nation in the world. Those that impact us or that we impact are often obscured by all the layers wealth places between humans.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But even if they are obscured they are there.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If we think about our neighbors as those we impact, our neighborhood becomes the whole world. Our neighbors become all.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Because as people in this country&#8230; our economy, our lifestyle, most certainly our government&#8230; and not just this one&#8230; impacts people all over the world.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So what is our responsibility as a neighbor?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Is it to show mercy like the good samaritan?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Maybe, maybe there are times when we have the opportunity to show mercy and act compassionately towards the human in front of us&#8230;. if they need it &#8230; and maybe it is about receiving mercy and compassion when we need it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">but mostly, I think our responsibility is to be in solidarity. Which means we must build the capacity to be in true solidarity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Solidarity is not charity &#8211; it is joining together as if our lives depend on it. Because they do.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It is about those of us who are impacted the most taking the lead.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It is about those of us who are not impacted following.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Pope Leo wrote in the hottest piece out there Magnifica Humanitas that<\/p>\n<blockquote>&#8220;Solidarity arises precisely when we decide not to remain indifferent to what happens to our neighbor but instead to transform unavoidable bonds.&#8221;<\/blockquote>\n<p>Solidarity starts by expanding our idea of who we are connected to which is part of our theology and values. Especially our value of interdependence. It reads<\/p>\n<blockquote>We covenant to honor the interdependent web of all existence <br \/>with reverence for the great web of life and with humility <br \/>to work to protect Earth and all beings from exploitation.<br \/>to create and nurture sustainable relationships of care and respect, mutuality and justice.<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Solidarity is recognizing our interdependence<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And as a people committed to equity, justice, and transformation, we work to be with and for one another<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">To be with one another can look like many different things.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">There is solidarity in actions like joining a flotilla to try to get aid to Gaza, or using our bodies to protect one another like we have seen in New Jersey. LA, and Minneapolis. Those are amazing acts of solidarity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But not all of us have the means or circumstances to do those types of direct actions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But there is still good work to do to be in solidarity that we can all do&#8230; like seeing someone and letting them know they aren&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I love this story that Sol read today because it reminds us that how powerful it is to be seen. To be accompanied.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">A few months ago I went, along with many other clergy, to Minneapolis to be in solidarity with Minnesotans standing against the state violence unleashed with the invasion of ICE. I came back from that trip feeling like a learned a lot and helped maybe a bit&#8230;. But earlier this week I had the opportunity to meet with three clergy from Minneapolis that had come down to Texas to be in solidarity with us&#8230;. both those detained in Dilley and Hutto and those just trying to function in the negative peace that is current state of things.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">They told me that what I did mattered. That all the clergy coming into the state to see, to be with, to witness was powerful beyond what they could express&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I didn&#8217;t really buy it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But by the time I left our meeting, I got it. In that short time I spent with them. In hearing their stories of visiting the detention center in Dilley and in Hutto&#8230; I started seeing the power of showing up. Of being seen. As they asked me about what it&#8217;s like to live here and what we were facing, I felt held and seen by them. I felt heard.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">They were saying we care about what is happening in Texas and you aren&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">To the people they visited in the detention center, to the other people they worked with on their trip they were saying you aren&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">People states away are with us. They see us. They hear us&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">We are not alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It felt good. It renewed my very weary soul.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And while i know what I am facing is miles away from what Libios and so many others have and are facing&#8230; I wonder if that is how those people living as hostages felt when they heard the precious voices of their families being broadcast through a radio.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I wonder if knowing that radio stations set up opportunities to hear their loved ones was a balm to their soul.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Did it make them feel less alone and feel less abandoned? Less forgotten?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I hope so. I know to hear you aren&#8217;t alone is humanizing. is comforting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And so I think the work for us is to figure out how, within the sphere of influence, can we live in such a way that our lives communicate this to all those that our lives touch.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">How can we stop &#8220;remaining indifferent to what happens to our neighbor &#8230; and start instead to transform unavoidable bonds.&#8221; &#8211; Pope Leo<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">What transformation will come for us all when we work to hear one another.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I don&#8217;t have all the answers and mostly I think the answers are specific to you and to your situation and ability. But we must ask ourselves this question as we make decisions. As we engage with the world.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">How will we, a people that believe in the beloved community Believe in the inherent worthiness of all people Whose hearts are breaking<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">How will we make sure that people are not forgotten? How will we hear them? How will we communicate that they are not alone?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And most importantly Most importantly&#8230;. how can we be a part of seeing and raising up the humanity of all?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Extinguishing the Chalice<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we hold in our hearts until we are together again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Benediction <\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">As we leave this really special and sacred time of holding, you are loved. You are loved, you are loved, you are loved, you are loved, and you are not alone.<br \/>Go in peace.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Postlude <\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">&#8220;Voces Olvidadas (excerpt) (Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ednez) &#8211; Unwound Sound &amp; the First UU Adult Vocal Ensemble<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"4\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/austinuu.org\/wp2013\/category\/sermons\/indexes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>SERMON INDEX<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Most sermons during the past 26 years are available online through this website.
