Obituary: Judith Wright Favor

January 5, 2024 By admin

Judith Favor, Author

Judith Favor, Author

Great-Grandmother, Author,
Pastor, Teacher

Judith Lee Wright Favor, a resident of Pilgrim Place in Claremont, died December 8, 2023 at the age of 83 after being treated briefly for congestive heart failure. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Born on February 25, 1940, in Portland, Oregon, Judith’s life was marked by resilience, spirituality, and a profound commitment to service. She married David Favor, with whom she shared the joy of raising three children and the adventurous pursuit of hot air ballooning. Following their divorce in 1977, she embarked on a transformative path, attending seminary at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. Her calling led her to pastor United Church of Christ congregations in the San Francisco Bay Area, leaving an indelible impact on the communities she served.

In 1998, she made her home at Pilgrim Place in Claremont, where she continued her spiritual journey. She found love again with Pete Nelson, whom she married in 2007, and together they navigated life until his passing in 2020. Her influence extended far beyond her personal life as a sought-after facilitator and teacher of spiritual direction. Her wisdom touched the hearts of many, as she taught for Still Point at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, The Claremont School of Theology, and The Religious Society of Friends.

Her legacy also includes her prolific writings, with seven books to her name, including notable titles such as “Spiritual Guide to Sabbath Economics,” “The Edgefielders,” “Silent Voices,” “The Beacons of Larkin Street,” and “Friending Rosie: Respect on Death Row.” She wrote most of her books while a member of the Joslyn Center’s writer’s group in Claremont. She also wrote articles in religious magazines and journals. Her intellectual and creative contributions resonated with a wide audience, enriching the lives of those seeking spiritual guidance and strong characters.

She is survived by her son Michael Favor and his wife Kathy; granddaughter Sarah and husband Eric Gagnebin; great-grandson Jax Gagnebin and her daughter Penelope Wyllie; son-in-law Doug Wyllie and grandson Finn Gunn Wyllie; stepson Kahlil Nelson; grandchildren Andrew Favor and Melody Favor; brother Bob Wright and his wife Robbie; cousins Lorane Dick and her wife Teri Tompkins, and Wanda Dick Iverson and her husband Al Iverson. Other survivors include nieces and nephews Sigrid Wright (Matt Parisi), Kirsten Wright (Thom Kasten), Johanna Wright (Gabe Blair), Cooper Wright (Namju Choi), Jason Wright (Christine Leonard Wright), Jeremy Wright (Kristy Lombard Wright), and Susi Stryker (Steve Stryker), and many other beloved family members on the Dick and Wright sides of the family.

She was preceded in death by her parents Jim Wright and Mildrid (Dick) Wright; her son, Ray Favor; and brother, Jim Wright.

“An active member of The Claremont Friends Meeting, Judith’s spiritual home, and her residency at Pilgrim Place symbolized her deep connection to community and faith,” her family shared. “Judith was a generous donor to many charities and organizations, in lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to organizations and causes close to your heart.  And she would encourage you to make it a lifelong habit.”

A celebration of her life will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, January 6 at Decker Hall in Pilgrim Place, 655 Avery Rd., Claremont, CA 91711. Friends and family are invited to join in remembrance of her extraordinary life.

My Last Great Adventure

December 5, 2023 By Judith Favor

Jeannette Piccard pokes her head out of her Stratospheric Gondola after her record-breaking ascent.

Jeannette Piccard pokes her head out of her Stratospheric Gondola after her record-breaking ascent.

“Dying is the last Great Adventure,” the Rev Dr Jeannette Ridlon Piccard told me as she lay dying with Congestive Heart Failure. The courageous high-altitude balloonist and first woman ordained to the Episcopal priesthood has inspired me for 50 years. Now her mighty soul accompanies mine on the Journey to Infinity.

At her ordination as a deacon in 1971, Jeannette was presented by her granddaughter, Jane, left, then a U student in social work. On the right is Rev. Denzil Carty, first to affirm her calling as a priest. Minneapolis Star.

My Congestive Heart Failure was diagnosed in May and has progressed rapidly from acute to fatal. Blessedly, I am mostly free of pain. Numbness and increased daily as congestion rises from feet and legs toward gut. Breathing is greatly aided by oxygen 24/7.

Even more blessedly, I am physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally upheld by the most unconditionally loving people on the planet. Plus the caring, compassionate comfort-care from VNA Hospice Team and my wise, kind and seasoned Doctor of Osteopathy. They come into my home daily with healing hands and hearts, so I am richly blessed with unconditionally loving TLC.

I welcome your prayers on this last Great Adventure. It feels great to sense your presence as I navigate the Great Sea of Unknowing into the Heart of God.

Touchstones: “Generational Pain”

October 10, 2023 By Judith Favor

photo of a Flagstone pathway in a graphic frame

Dear Readers Who Write,
Generational pain prompted my first two books, The Edgefielders: Poor Farm Tales of a Great-Grandmother and Silent Voices. The discipline of discovery writing gave me tools to explore the mysterious forces that tear families apart and the ties that bind families together.
Novels by contemporary authors are reminders that you and I do need not bear generational pain alone. Current fictional favorites include:

  • The Other Americans by Laila Lalami
  • World Light by Halldor Laxness
  • Love by Toni Morrison
  • Gonzalez & Daughter Trucking Co. by Maria Amparo Escandon
  • Mink River by Brian Doyle
  • Take One Candle, Light a Room by Susan Straight

The colorful characters in my four Beacons novels also support readers who may feel alone in bearing generational pain. Love stories & family sagas forge strong connections with readers, despite diversities of race, religion, class and gender identity. Inspiring memoirists include:

  • Living With a Wild God by Barbara Ehrenreich
  • The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation by Richard Rohr
  • Joy Unspeakable by Barbara Holmes
  • I Could Tell You Stories by Patricia Hampl
  • Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community by Joy Harden Bradford

“We are nervous beings, in nervous nations, at an increasingly nervous time,” writes Jen Soriano in Nervous: Essays on Heritage and Healing. In the September-October issue of Poets & Writers journal, Soriano’s words shimmer with meaning. “I wrote this” she says, “ … for pearls in their shells seeking conditions to shine. My story is just one ripple in an emerging ecosystem of interdependence, where we don’t have to bear generational pain alone.”

Whose writing helps you bear generational pain?

Touchstones: “Hush”

September 23, 2023 By Judith Favor

photo of a Flagstone pathway in a graphic frame

Dear Friends Who Read,
Hush and I have a long relationship. When I was very young, we met in Grandma’s lap. “Hush now, hush” she would whisper, warm breath tickling my tiny ear. “Hush, little one, hush.” Eventually I learned to hush myself into a receptive state of stillness. Over time, meditation and prayerfulness deepened my practice. Be still and know. When Hush is good, it is very good. And we want it to be good for others.
I heard too much creative clamor when I started working on The Beacons of Larkin Street, my first novel. My mind was cluttered with ideas and desires, opinions and emotional reactions. Soon the fictional characters began to introduce themselves

  • Lesbian Beka and married Dot arrive fully embodied as a white researcher and a black social worker.
  • Transgender Paige communes with angels, saints and mystics.
  • Widows Hope and Rev Ruth long for connection, seeking to open the author’s heart to their sorrows.
  • Haitian immigrant Millienne prays with her bare feet on Mother Earth.
  • Undocumented Luz suffers in silent misery, unable to bear telling God what is happening to her on streets of San Francisco.
  • Caro from Cleveland brings charisma, addictions and lust to the Haight Ashbury.
  • Arsonist Red aches from maternal neglect and yearns to belong at Saint Lydia’s.
  • They all seemed to know something I did not yet know.
  • All these females need safety to express their truths. How could I protect their vulnerable voices from my authorly intrusion?

The Hush helps me figure it out. Someone said people make the path by walking. Authors say writers make the path by writing. My inner voice says hushing is the path to the heart of my novels. The Beacons and the Rev help me figure out what is useful and what isn’t. First, they say, write up a storm. Set aside the messy first draft, Let the screen of your mind’s eye go blank. Wait receptively. In my busy mind, the Hush creates space for fictional women to articulate hidden traumas, longings and fears.

  • In the Hush, Rev Ruth wrestles with inherited doctrines, gradually discovering which beliefs are false and which ring true.
  • In the Hush, Beka and Dot design an ingenious way to trap and expose their predatory pastor.
  • In the Hush, dialogues between Hope and Rev Ruth, Dot and Beka, Millienne and Paige raise central questions about loss & leadership, faith and practice.
  • In the Hush, Luz heals from sexual abuse by letting the women of Saint Lydia’s care for her traumatized body-mind-heart-soul.
  • In the Hush, Beka and Caro struggle through attraction, betrayal and recovery.
  • In the Hush, Paige befriends firebug Red and assists the congregation in forgiving the girl who torched their sanctuary.

The Hush brings third-person objectivity to a struggling author. Once freed from the weight of my authorly opinions, The Beacons and the Rev showed me a wideness in their path of congregational leadership. These church ladies made the path wide enough to liberate themselves, each other, and females who suffer unjust treatment. In order to hear their truths I had to quiet my own opinions. The Hush gives space for fictional women to reveal when they are fooling themselves and when they are being true to core values as they reckon with the complications of past, present and future.

My four interlocked Beacons novels mirror the racial and gender diversity of church ladies in San Francisco during the 1970s. Earnestly searching for transcendence, the Beacons and the Rev create a sacred chalice for readers, too. Enfolded in the Hush between tensions and conflicts, readers can also grow spiritually alongside the women of Saint Lydia’s. Readers like you can uncover your own interior truths through inward reflection. Some of you already express your faith-based witness through community-based social action. Others are finding your way. Welcome to the Beacons series.

Tenderly,
Judith

Saturday, September 30, 2023

10:00AM to 12:00NOON

Claremont Helen Renwick Library
Meeting Room

Sponsored by
Friends of the Claremont Library

 

Judith Favor has published six books in three genres. Her writings draw upon work experience as a babysitter, berry-picker, library page, mail clerk, typist, commercial hot air balloonist, college counselor, teacher, pastor, retreat leader and spiritual companion. Judith composed her newest book, Friending Rosie: Respect on Death Row, in close collaboration with an incarcerated Latina woman.

She likes to write creative nonfiction, family memoir, book reviews, feminist faith-based fiction, and occasional poems. In the third of her forthcoming Beacons trilogy, The Beacons Ablaze, readers will meet Red, a teen girl who sets the sanctuary afire, while also renewing connection with six female church leaders who deal with the mess.

A native Oregonian educated in Washington and California, Favor earned degrees in sociology, divinity and psychology. She skied on Mount Lassen, backpacked in the Sierras, Cascades and Trinity Alps, swam in high mountain lakes and sailed on Lake Tahoe. She earned a private pilot’s license, and flew Serendipity, her hot air balloon, throughout Northern California. After she challenged Richard Bach to include females in an early edition of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, he named one for her.

BOOK REVIEW: What We Owe the Future

August 24, 2023 By Judith Favor

What We Owe the Future bookcover image

Reviewed by Judith Wright Favor

in Friends Journal — August 2023 Issue

What We Owe the Future introduced me to “longtermism”: “the idea that positively influencing the longterm future is a key moral priority of our time.” And each of us has a part to play. In his concluding message, as he does throughout the book, author William MacAskill addresses the reader directly in reflecting on the previous ten chapters:

We’ve met some people who’ve made a difference in this book: abolitionists, feminists, and environmentalists; writers, politicians, and scientists. Looking back on them as figures from “history,” they can seem different from you and me. But they weren’t different: they were everyday people, with their own problems and limitations, who nevertheless decided to try to shape the history they were a part of, and who sometimes succeeded. You can do this, too.”

Friends drawn to longtermism—“a movement of morally motivated people, concerned about the whole scope of the future”—will appreciate MacAskill’s views. This mind-bending young activist challenges all of us to practice radical collaboration in shaping a more sustainable future.

Queries throughout What We Owe the Future sparked my imagination in thinking about “which values will guide the future.” MacAskill points to the favorable answer when he suggests, “Those values could be narrow-minded, parochial, and unreflective. Or they could be open-minded, ecumenical, and morally exploratory.” The author’s lifestyle earned my respect. MacAskill, who was only 28 when he joined the faculty of Oxford University, becoming the youngest associate professor of philosophy in the world, lives communally, eats minimally, and donates generously to progressive nonprofit organizations. I like knowing that he is an activist and social entrepreneur; he also cofounded the nonprofits Giving What We Can, the Centre for Effective Altruism, and 80,000 Hours, which together have moved over $200 million to effective charities, according to his website.

“We are now living through the global equivalent of the Hundred Schools of Thought,” he writes, referring to the golden age of Chinese philosophy in the sixth century when many great thinkers “were developing their ideas and trying to persuade the political elite of their theories.” MacAskill observes that likewise today “[d]ifferent moral worldviews are competing, and no single worldview has yet won out.” He gives hope for present-day actions setting humankind on the right track:

If we can improve the values that guide the behaviour of generations to come, we can be pretty confident that they will take better actions, even if they’re living in a world very different from our own, the nature of which we cannot predict.”

What We Owe the Future masterfully traces the grand sweep of history while outlining key values for designing a livable future. I commend MacAskill’s solid research and illuminating prose. His teachings about value lock-in and artificial general intelligence broadened my perspective and made me smarter. His perspective equips me to write a fuller version of my ethical will in progress, an ABC of legacy letters conveying my core values to the next generation.

MacAskill’s accessible language brings future people into the conversation while highlighting past strategies employed by controversial Friends like abolitionist Benjamin Lay. He reminds readers about the long arc to abolish slavery; he references the first public denouncement, which came from Quakers in 1688 with the Germantown petition. Success took hundreds of years. “Abolition freed millions of people from lives of utter misery,” though some countries did not abolish slavery until after 1960. In this same vein, MacAskill writes:

We may not see longtermism’s biggest impacts in our lifetimes. But by advocating for longtermism, we can pass the baton to those who will succeed us—those who might run faster, see farther, and achieve more than we ever could.”

The book ends with six pages of acknowledgements that credit hundreds of people, and a useful website: whatweowethefuture.com.

Let us see what forethought can do.

Touchstones: “Discovery Writing”

August 22, 2023 By Judith Favor

photo of a Flagstone pathway in a graphic frameDear Friends Who Read,
“Writing is an extreme privilege but it’s also a gift. It is a gift to yourself and it’s a gift of giving a story to someone,” wrote Amy Tan. In her new film, Unintended Memoirs, the author ‘speaks with remarkable frankness about traumas she has faced in her life and how writing has helped her heal.” In Where the Past Begins (2017) she wrote, “As long as I kept searching and asking, I would never lose myself. I was the narrator of my life. I could write without loneliness but with purpose: to find meaning in both the past and in the moments unfolding.”

Searching & Asking on the Page

Like young Amy Tan, I liked to write alone in my bedroom. Feelings were routinely stifled in my family, but reading and writing awakened my emotions. I disappeared for hours with pen in hand or a book in my lap, safe from scrutiny and discord. I liked solitude and I also wanted a twin to steady me in times of paralyzing self-doubt, a trusted companion with whom to share laughter and tears in stories of love and pain and wonder. I adored the Bobbsey Twins and longed for a trusted twin brother to share the mess and metaphors of life. My mother laughed and laughed when I told her I wanted a twin brother for my birthday. After that, I confided only in my diary, but developed the lifelong practice of writing to discover Something More.

Discovery Writing

Searching and asking needs to do two things: make me struggle and affirm my insights. Discovery writing stretches me beyond what I do know so I can notice and record what I don’t yet know. Writing is spiritual when it sharpens the inner eye of awareness. And discovery writing is good when it blesses the writer’s soul; then it will be good for the reader’s soul

What happens when you search and ask on the page?

BOOK REVIEW: The School That Escaped the Nazis: The True Story of the Schoolteacher Who Defied Hitler
by Deborah Cadbury

February 2, 2023 By Judith Favor

Reviewed by Judith Favor

Bookcover image of The School That Escaped the Nazis-The True Story of the Schoolteacher Who Defied Hitler

by Deborah Cadbury | Public Affairs, 2022 | 464 pages | $30/hardcover | $17.99/eBook

The School That Escaped the Nazis: The True Story of the Schoolteacher Who Defied Hitler shows what love can do in wartime. Deborah Cadbury takes readers on an emotional journey with head teacher Anna Essinger, who smuggled 70 students out of Nazi Germany—“a feat that no other teacher managed to pull off”—and settled in a rundown manor house in England. Some pages read like a novel; most read like accounts from a worship-sharing group of former students gathered to recall common experiences.

Essinger (1879–1960) grew up in a large Jewish German family. At college in Wisconsin, she was drawn to Quaker humanitarian and compassionate values. After WWI, she joined U.S. Quakers in Quäkerspeisung, an ambitious post-war relief plan to feed schoolchildren in Germany. Full of hope to make a difference at home, Essinger returned to “devastating deprivation.” As a liaison for the Quaker feeding program, she visited hundreds of schools throughout Germany where she was appalled by teaching methods of dominance that instilled fear and conformity in children.

In 1926, Essinger and family opened a progressive school in Germany, a musical oasis with studies grounded in kindness where students could learn at their own pace. By 1933, Nazi persecution led her to decide: “I could no longer raise children in honesty and freedom [here].” That’s when she hatched the daring plan to take her pupils to Kent. There Essinger created “a home-school,” a sanctuary where they could “not only recover but . . . aspire to the very highest levels. . . . And she would make their lives count.”

Throughout WWII, the residential school took in traumatized Jewish children who arrived on Kindertransport. Most never saw their parents again. Behind the scenes, Essinger worked with the Red Cross and relief committees to get answers. Staff “carefully managed how they broke any news of parents.”

Pupils who survived the Holocaust offer moving firsthand testimony in these pages. “It took a great deal of love and determination to help us,” wrote one of the survivors looking back on that time. Another pupil, named Sidney Finkel, had, by age 14, “endured the killing of his family in Poland, the ‘liquidation’ of his ghetto, slave labour camps, concentration camps and typhus. He had lost all concept of normal living.” Essigner sat “with him during mealtimes and taught him how to eat and to stop bolting his food.”

She was “‘not in the least bit religious,’” observed one of Essinger’s first pupils, Susanne Trachsler. “‘Not even Jewish.’” Cadbury further explains:

Anna came from an assimilated Jewish family and did not place great emphasis on religions beliefs and practices, although she did adopt one custom she had observed in Quaker circles: before dinner, each child held hands with the pupils standing either side of them for a moment of silent reflection, the entire school briefly linked as one. It was instilled in the children that they must help each other.

Essinger “managed to establish ‘a kind of honour code,’ continued Susanne. ‘I don’t know how she did it. The worst thing you could do was lie and cheat.’” The children who did behave badly were hardly disciplined by the staff because, as Susanne Trachsler recalled, “The other pupils themselves treated them with such contempt that they stopped immediately. . . . We sort of educated each other.”

In reflecting on the shared courage of these individuals, I’m reminded of a quote from Quaker mystic and social activist Rufus M. Jones in The Luminous Trail: “Nobody knows how the kindling flame of life and power leaps from one life to another. What is the magic quality in a person which instantly awakens faith?”

Quaker educators will value this historic account of Anna Essinger and colleagues who met the crisis during a dark moment in history, and kept the lights on. The School That Escaped the Nazis illumines how a prepared group of adults transformed the hearts and minds of traumatized children. I suggest a more Friendly subtitle: The True Story of a Luminous Trail of Teachers Who Transcended Hitler.

The Spirituality of Waiting
— An Advent Retreat led by Stillpoint

November 15, 2022 By Judith Favor

December 3, 2022

9:30am – 2:30pm PT

This retreat will be held online.
All sessions will be recorded
for later viewing.

When the external light lessens, creation takes its deep breath and enters a season of waiting. In her darkest hours creation waits, restoring herself and preparing for a new season of life and growth. But we are not good at waiting, we prefer to keep getting things done. The good news of Advent is that – like creation, we do not wait alone. We wait in community with others.

You are invited to an on-line guided contemplative retreat to pause and wait in the company of others to give attention to what needs restoring and what is waiting in you. Noticing how you are waiting for God, and how God is waiting for you.


RETREAT SCHEDULE

9:00am – 12:00pm PT
