Treasure Valley Community Televison (TVCTV)

Treasure Valley Community Televison (TVCTV) TVCTV’s mission is to facilitate a free exchange of ideas, community dialogue, cultural and artist Treasure Valley Community Television, Inc. What can TVCTV Do?

is an independent non-profit corporation governed by a locally elected board of directors. It was partially funded by a percentage of AT&T’s (now Cable One Cable) gross revenues as ordered by the Boise City Council. The daily operation of the station is run by an executive director chosen by the TVCTV board and community volunteers. Treasure Valley Community Television Mission Statement
TVCTV’s mi

ssion is to facilitate a free exchange of ideas, community dialogue, cultural and artistic expression for the residents of the Treasure Valley. What is Public Access? For many in the United States, television has become the number one source of information about the world. Every day, people take in news, editorials, opinions, entertainment and many other types of programming, all paid for by large companies that can afford network and cable advertising rates. The opportunity for other voices to be heard on “the soapbox” of our times has become very limited. In order to address the problem, Congress adopted the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, which provided for public access to the airwaves. Most local authorities have used this provision to require cable franchisers to dedicate channels on the cable system to public, educational and governmental programming (PEG access). How Public Access Works
TVCTV’s mandate is to give members of the community a voice. We provide the equipment and training; Any individual or organization can register to become a community producer. Once they are trained on our equipment and are approved by the TVCTV program standards programs can be aired. The equipment is available for rental on a first-come, first-served basis to all trained volunteers to create programming for Cable One Cable Channel 64. Organizations can form their own video team; individuals can work together. We encourage a wide range of subjects and styles — music, drama, comedy, public affairs, and any other program you are interested in making as a TVCTV volunteer. The programs that you produce for TVCTV can: provide a forum for debate on local issues; inform residents about services available in the community; allow limited-run productions (plays or other events) a life on video; expand the audience for a local band, poet or craftsperson; allow people who can’t attend an event the opportunity to see it anyway; give people a fresh perspective on aspects of our community; follow a subject or issue on a regular basis; present a documentary view of a neighbor, friend or organization in town that’s doing something interesting; teach skills, change people’s stereotypes; change your life. There’s a whole new generation of programming to come on the new TVCTV. And it’s up to you to make it!

Beloved Community and Friends:

Every year at the Holiday Season, I return to one of my favorite writers, Dr. Howard Thurman. He reminds me that the real gifts of Christmas cannot be purchased with money, but are of the heart and in our actions towards one another. In the Christmas story, he found a richness of symbolism that speaks to the deep recesses of the human condition. While he affirmed that Christmas was a uniquely Christian celebration, he felt, as we teach, that its message has an important message for people of all faiths and no faith.

Thurman writes: For [the Christmas Season], we affirm our solidarity with the whole human race in its long struggle to come humane and to reveal divinity in which all [humankind] shares”. He expands on this idea when he writes: Christmas “is the brooding Presence of the Eternal Spirit making the crooked paths straight, rough places smooth, tired hearts refreshed, dead hopes stir with newness of life. It is the promise of tomorrow at the close of everyday, the movement of life in defiance of death, and the assurance that love is sturdier than hate, that right is more confident than wrong, that good is more permanent than evil”.

I share a few of my favorite Dr. Thurman short reflections below:

Christmas is Waiting to Be Born

Where refugees seek deliverance that never comes,
And the heart consumes itself, if it would live,
Where little children age before their time,
And life wears down the edges of the mind,
Where the old man sits with mind grown cold,
While bones and sinew, blood and cell, go slowly to death,
Where fear companions each day’s life, And Perfect Love seems long delayed.
CHRISTMAS IS WAITING TO BE BORN:
In you, in me, in all [humanity].

On a more individual level, Dr. Thurman saw the Christmas season as a time for taking stock and making adjustments in our lives. This is the reading I use every year to stop and take inventory of my own life...can I forgive...can I renew my enthusiasm and restore my soul...can I love and share unconditionally?

Christmas is a Season of the Heart

The Time of forgiveness for injuries past,
The Sacrament of sharing without balancing the deed,
The Moment of remembrance of graces forgotten,
The Poem of joy making light the spirit,
The Sense of renewal restoring the soul,
The Day of thanksgiving for the goodness of God.
CHRISTMAS IS THE SEASON OF THE HEART.

May these few words of Howard Thurman bless you in this holiday season in the midst of this time of COVID, unemployment, hunger, racism, divisions, political wrangling and international instability. Dr. Thurman reminds us that we are called to join together in divine work and that in spite of it all, as the Christmas message affirms, God is within us. We are all One!

Have a Blessed and Happy Holiday!

Beloved Community and Friends:

This has been another upsetting and chaotic week with the Michigan school shooting, resulting in the deaths of four students and seven injured by a fellow 15 year old young man. Our world seems a bit chaotic to me right now. (Perhaps that seems like an under-statement to some of you.)

Often it is comforting in the midst of the confusion (and the illusion) of separation and duality for me to remember that we are always at choice... Always!

Even when it feels as if our lives are being controlled by so many outside forces, this magnificent, life-affirming philosophy, Religious Science, teaches that we are ALWAYS at choice!

In the midst of the chaos, I remind myself that the solution is clear....Because we are at choice, we can add to the Collective Consciousness of confusion and fear...or, we can add to the collective Consciousness of Loving Kindness and Peace.

No matter what is going on in our world, it is important to understand that this situation has been created in the Collective Consciousness in order to bring it to our attention to heal whatever is being called forth for our highest and best. And it is this same Collective Consciousness that will bring forth that which is in the highest order for everyone concerned. We must trust this vital Spiritual Principle! We are all being invited to step into this Consciousness of Truth...without fear and doubt!

I invite all of us to stop for a moment each day during this Season of Light and Love to remember that we were created in the image and likeness of and by a God of Love and Peace. We were brought to this place and time for a Divine Purpose. During this Holiday Season, won’t you join me in downloading Loving Kindness into the Collective Conscious of all humanity?

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Jackie Holland
