SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 2018 | 5A Spirituali-Tea to discuss ‘race unity’ Monday This Monday evening, June 11, at 6:30 p.m., community members will gather at 875 Seventh St. to discuss matters of the Spirit. The topic will be “Race Uni- ty.” Racism is one of the most challenging issues confronting America. Notwithstanding the efforts already expended for its elimination, racism continues in the nation. Progress toward tolerance, mutual respect and unity has been painfully slow and marked with repeated setbacks. The recent resurgence of divisive racial attitudes, the increased number of racial in- cidents, and the deepening de- spair of minorities and the poor make the need for solutions ever more pressing and urgent. To ignore the problem is to expose the country to physical, moral and spiritual danger. The group will also read the prayer requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those of all who attend. Tea, coffee and cookies will be offered.

The group Byrdsong Consort will perform 16th- and 18th-century music during the Little Log Church and Museum's special event in Yachats June 16. The Thistle, the Shamrock and the Rose will be the theme of a special concert to be held on Sat- urday, June 16 at 3 p.m. at the Little Log Church and Museum in Yachats. The event recalls the renaissance experiences of 16th to 18th century Scotland, Ireland and England, featuring works by O’Carolan, Playford, Gow, Jenkins and others who played on harpsicord, viols, violins, traverso and recorders. The group’s name Byrdsong Consort refers to William Byrd, an English composer of the renais- sance. The musicians are Michael Bardossi, Al- ice Barkan, Julia Heydon, Elinora Sears and Tom Sears, all from Eugene. This will be the second appearance of Byrd- song Consort at the Little Log Church. “It’s not often we have a harpsicord imported to Yachats,” said Little Log Church’s Events Co- ordinator Mary Cook. “This is indeed a special occasion.” The suggested donation is $10 per person. A portion of the proceeds will be given to the Little Log Church and Museum. The Log Church is located at 328 West Third St. (corner of West Third and Pontiac) in the heart of Yachats.
