The Rt. Rev. Terry Allen White VIII Bishop of Kentucky

Consecrated on September 25, 2010 Galt House, Louisville, K.Y

Fall2010 Diocese of Kentucky

=-::·. From the bishop's laptop

Beloved, Thank you for your incredibly warm welcome to the Diocese

of Kentucky! Linda Sue, Tim, Becky, and I are grateful for the many ways you have cared for us. It was a joy to meet hundreds of you during the weekend of the Consecration at the Galt House, and the Seating at Christ Church Cathedral. I look forward to the parish Visitations and other gatherings that will provide oppor­tunities for us to get to know one another as fellow servants.

As the day of my ordination drew closer, Father Jim Wilkinson, our diocesan historiographer, pointed out that Sept. 25 was also the date of the consecration of the Rt. Rev. David Jackson Kemper, one of our Church's greatest missionary bishops, in 1835. Bishop Kemper was the very embodiment of missionary zeal, and was consecrated to evangelize and be a pastor to those engaged in our nation's westward expansion, and to minister to Native Americans. His "diocese" included modern day Indiana, l\Iissouri, Kansas,

ebraska, Iowa, l\finnesota, \'«isconsin, the Dakotas, Montana, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. At his funeral it was said no bishop had such a vast com­mission since the Apostles were sent into the world by Christ! He saw the largely unsettled wilderness as a field ripe for the Gospel, and his heart and experience told him the Episcopal/ Anglican tradition had something powerful and unique to offer people hungry for the Gospel of grace, the Scriptures and the holy Sacraments.

In a sermon from 1851 he said: How remarkab!J pemliar, how vast!J important is the position OJ our Church! Possessing as zve fit!!J believe all those charactenstics 111hich dzstinguished the pn!m'tive .fold· A scriptural Liturgrevangelical doctn'nes-and the apostolic

succession-having the .form of godliness and the pozver thereof free from the false and world!J scmples and the time-servingpoliry of civil governments-independent-

respected and influential ... And are zve prepared-are zve doing at the present moment Even One Tenth part of JPhat we are capable? Our means and our pmver are extensive--and under the blessing of Him, without whom nothing zs strong, nothing is ho!J, our aim-our constant, undeviating, untiring aim should be great and lofty.

Bishop Kemper called on all the baptized to exercise their calling, their re­sponsibility, to share the Gospel. His spirit may well be an excellent model. Might the creation of a modern day missionary dio­cese be a worthy goal for us? The western half of the Commonwealth is not the vast and stark wilderness Bishop Kemper was called to serve, but at the same time, each of us knows there are souls hungry for the Gospel and the riches of our tradi­tion. What I look forward to exploring with all of you is what missionary work at the end of 2010 and beyond can look like in our local contexts and throughout our diocese.

In his day, Kemper heralded the Church's work in "far away lands" such

Missionary zeal. Opening our hearts to the needs of neighbors. Loving with the strongest affections our sisters and broth­ers made in the image of God. These priorities deliver us from looking inward and becoming so preoccupied with vari­ous distractions that we starve missionary zeal. Each congregation is a missionary outpost of our diocesan community, and every act of service in Christ's name strengthens and expands the mission of the entire diocese.

It is now my joy to work with you as a fellow missionary, chief evangelist and pastor. I ask that the diocesan budget for 2011, and every parish budget for the coming year, be seen for what it truly is: an intentional, well-constructed plan for how financial resources can be allocated for the most effective mission possible locally, in our diocese and beyond. The prayers, energy, time and money of every Episcopalian will be needed.

May Almighty God bless each mission­ary in this diocese with vision, courage and perseverance. Thank you again for inviting me to share with you in the work of Gospel in this portion of the Lord's vineyard. Together, may we support one another and boldly love God with all our being, and our neighbors, for the sake of Him who came not to be served, but to serve.

With affection, +Terry

Embracing Christ, Engaging the World

The Diocese of Kentucky is called to engage the world as a witness to Christ

through worship, study, fellowship, evangelism, social justice and service.

Eighth bishop consecrated

'You have chosen well,' diocese is told

By Mary Jane Cherry, Editor, and janet Irwin, Contributing Writer On Sept. 25, the day before his 51st

birthday, the Very Rev. Terry Allen White, the former dean of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kansas City, Mo., was ordained and consecrated the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky as nearly 1,000 well wishers watched.

Replete with liturgical torches, parish and diocesan banners, bishops' copes and miters, the service began with a lengthy, celebratory procession-the likes of which had not been seen in the dio­cese for 16 and a half years.

Led by banner carriers from the dio­cese's 34 churches and nine three-mem­ber teams of acolytes, more than 100 lay and clergy leaders processed down three aisles. They were there because they had a role in bringing White to that Holy mo­ment or were there to officially welcome him into his episcopacy and his new ecumenical community.

They included diocesan officers and leaders, members of the bishop search and transition committees, ecumenical leaders, the Episcopal Church's Presiding

Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, six co­consecrating bishops (Kentucky's retiring Bishop Ted Gulick; Bishop Barry Howe of the Diocese of West Missouri; New Jersey Bishop George E. Councell, San Diego Bishop James R. Mathes, Chi­cago Bishop James W Montgomery, and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Bishop William 0. Gafkjen), and 13 other bishops, including Bishop Jay Mag­ness, a former canon to the ordinary in the diocese.

Traditional liturgical music filled the room with praise for God, offered by musicians and choristers from our diocese and Grace and Holy Trinity Ca­thedral where White was the dean when elected bishop.

And with that, the hotel's massive Atchibald Cochran Ballroom, already converted into a place of worship by liturgical accoutrements and panels of icons, was transformed into a sacred place of consecration. White listens carefully, canon says

Prior to White's examination by the bishops and consecration, his former subdean, the Rev. Canon Susan L. Som­mer, preached, informing the people of the diocese to "rejoice" in the listener they have called as bishop.

White, she said, "pays attention to how

he listens," listening as Jesus taught that goes beyond "nodding our heads in pi­ous agreement" and leads to action.

"In the 15 years that I have known Terry, I have come to appreciate and to covet his ability to listen for content and for process, for red flags and for subtle nuance. He has an enormous capacity to listen carefully to the Holy Spirit both

at work within the community he leads as well as within his heart through his own rich life of prayer. And this listening to God's Word always, always leads him to action, though I must admit not always with immediacy." Members of the congregation came not only from across the Diocese of Kentucky but also from the Diocese of West 1\fis- lii~1/":; souri. Those interviewed expressed curiosity and excitement about his episcopacy, though for some the consecration was bittersweet.

Lemandrc Williams, a 20-some­thing Episcopalian from Bard­stown, was among the latter. Hav­ing come to the Church through Bishop Ted Gulick's vigorous camping and evangelism program at All Saints', he was torn between tears and delight. "You know, the old bishop's the only one I've known. I can't imagine what this

new man may be like, but I'll take my time to learn about him .... He may be just as great as Bishop Ted, but I don't know how he could be." Kentuckians look ahead with White

Several Kentuckians were optimistic about his episcopacy, citing the good foundation upon which it will begin and the positive changes taking place in their churches.

Molly Isaacs McLeod, senior warden of Louisville's Calvary Church, was one of those. Since Calvary has a new rector, the Rev. Jonathan Erdman, she said she and others arc looking forward to seeing change there and in the diocese. "\Vc arc thankful for the great foundation that Bishops Marmion, Reed and Gulick have put in place for us, but we know there is much more for us to learn and do in the future. Calvary has a tradition as a leader among downtown churches of a variety of denominations. And now our new leaders arc sure to give us a new breath of air."

Dr. Allen Johnson and his wife, Barbara, members of Lou­isville's Messiah-Trinity Church, a combined Episcopal-Lutheran congregation, also brought a hopefulness connected to their church's growth, and they too are looking forward to working with the new bishop.

Alyce Calloway was among a busload of people from St. George's Church, Louisville, who came to the consecration. She has worked tirelessly over the years to maintain the parish and the community center's vital role in their inner city neighborhood. She is eagerly looking forward to the ideas the new bishop will bring.

parish after seminary. "Frank would be so proud of Terry. He was devoted to him," she said. "It's so sad that I can't be there," she said by phone. "I have been counting on it since the day I heard about it." Former parishioners share insights

About 30 members of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral felt such affection for their recent dean that they traveled to Louisville and freely shared their insights. They were not at all sure how they would ever find a new dean who could replace him.

''We are just beginning our search, really," said Canon John Schaefer, the cathedral's organist and choir master." ...

One thing I hope is that we find someone who is as enthusiastic about involving lay people as Terry is. He's made a real difference encouraging the laity to bring their faith to life."

Bill Hawley, the cathedral's former sexton, and his wife, Sally, also came. Hawley gave White his first tour of the cathedral. Instead of showing him the vestry room and where the silver was kept, he said, he took him on the

"Sexton's tour," on which he learned which pipes knocked when the heat was turned on and which windows couldn't be opened.

Sally added that she was not a new­comer to the church, but with White's encouragement she found herself taking more and more responsibility, even becoming a lay minister.

Like others, Christine Morrison, a vestry member, described him as a "wonderful man" who had done a "fantastic" job. "Terry's my friend. He's a great leader," she said. ''You ·may not always agree with him, but you feel like he is leading you on the right path .... You know he is going to take you where

you want to go, and that may be to some place different than you think you want."

She added: "His sermons are awe­some. He always starts with a joke, and uses the joke throughout. My mind has never wandered when he preached."

At the Consecration Eve dinner, Canon Sommers shared her insights as a member of his "loyal and devoted" staff. Among his proclivitie-s, his wit is "drier than the sirocco on the coast of North Africa," he loves "Chicago-wor­thy" pastrami on rye and good liturgy, and he often uses popular culture in sermons, she said. However, it couldn't hurt,for example, to know the first 11 episodes of "Mash," she added.

The question the cathedral staff re­peatedly asked after his election was, she said, "Do the people of Kentucky have a clue what they have done?" Noting that she could not answer that question, she said she could tell the diocese what they did: ''You have chosen well."

The next day, after his seating at the­cathedral, the new bishop preached his first sermon in the diocese, and, indeed, it lived up to what they said.

Focus on • growl inistries Gardening for love of God a

By Barry Chafin Contributing Writer At first glance the Russell neigh­

borhood in west Louisville and St. Matthew's neighborhood in the east appear very different. Russell seems past its prime as a community. St. Matthew's appears solid and thriving. Scratch the surface in either community and you find something in common. Hungry people.

Two Louisville parishes are answering the call to help feed the hungry in both areas. St. Clement's (House Church) is involved with the Garden of Life in the Russell community, and St. Matthew's members arc gardening to supplement the offerings of their monthly food pantry. St. Clement's {House Church) At the corner of 26th and Jefferson streets, there is a lot that would ap-pear vacant, but for the garden planted there. Tomato plants are staked and producing well. Corn and squash are planted, watered and weeded. Judging by appearance, there is no reason to think this garden is different from any other well-tended garden.

Few, if any, gardens are found in western Louisville, and fresh vegetables are not sold in its stores, said Cates. In a city where healthy food choices abound, Russell has a paucity.

''West Louisville is a 'food desert,' says Harold Cates, a communicant at St. Clem­ent's. "Our project is called 'The Garden of Life.' The food is vital but it is only part of the work."

The Garden of Life is planted and tended by LAMP Life Centered Ministries, an organization working to improve local conditions. St. Clement's provides financial support to

keep the project going. ''We don't have to take care

A shepherd's garden for Fultori

its size, a gar­those who plant Ogden Davis, (1892-1970)

In 2008 an idea was conceived by a quiet congregant of a small rural parish that has grown ever stronger roots.

She and other members of Trin-ity Church Fulton were offering their dreams and visions for outreach ministry by placing suggestions in a God Box. Out of that came Charlyne Shepherd's eloquently worded inspiration: a com­munity garden, where an abundant harvest would not only include food for the body but the labor and fellowship in­volved would, in turn, nourish the spirit as well. Thus, the "Shepherd's Garden" in Fulton was born.

Through a series of fortunate circum­stances, patience and persistence were

rewarded with the donation of land and in kind contribu­tions, enabling the parish to organize a spring 2009 planting. Some may call it luck, but Trinity's members know better. At pre­cisely the right time, place and season, God will find a way.

The discern­ment of voca­tion for a geo­graphically and socio-economi­cally challenged Episcopal mission church had to be a col-

lective vision. In addition, to appeal to the congrega­tion that vision had to be something sub­stantial. After all, when you plant a seed, you don't dig it up to see if it's growing. You just have faith in the miracle of life.

And so has the dream grown. With the garden in its second season,

members of Trinity have partnered with a local Methodist church to run the Ken Tenn Food Pantry. It is intended that produce from the garden will be used

in the food pantry's twice monthly distributions for qualifying households. The garden's abundance will also continue to be available for those who are willing and able to pick the vegetables in the field.

For a church with about 50 active members, the garden's maintenance and upkeep is a labor of love, but all would agree that serv­ing their community (and beyond) in such a significant way is simply another way to obey the commandant

"People in the church are passionate about it," says parishioner Brian Good. "It is very important to us!'

Garden produce is combined with donations from other providers for the church's food pantry. At 11 a.m., the third Saturday of each month, Saints' Hall opens to receive guests.

'We refer to them as 'guests! We treat them the way we like to be treated when we go somewhere," said Good. "There are no qualifications, no eligibil­ity requirements. We feed anybody who comes through the door." Sara Miles, au­thor of Take This Bread, is credited with emphasizing to St. Matthew's Church how important it is to treat guests with uunost respect.

Looking at the houses and businesses in this community, you might think ev­eryone is well-fed. You'd be wrong.

The majority of guests come from nearby, according to Good. "Most who come to the food pantry are unem­ployed. Some are down on their luck, on government assistance. Some are refu-

Volunteer Kat Steinhauer remarked on how grateful everyone is.

"Several of our guests are on disability and unable to make ends meet, includ­ing one woman who nearly d.ied from a severe drug interaction. She spent several months in the hospital and was not sup­posed to live."

Because the need is significant, neither church is the sole contributor to their food missions. Both receive consider­able monetary and food donations from other organizations dnd individuals.

By Mary jane Cherry EKQEditor All Saints camps 2010 were all about

superheroes, mostly of the biblical kind, but a couple of fantastic creatures, ques­tionably human, caused quite a stir and some good clean magic this summer.

You see, Dirty Dragon freely roamed the Episcopal camp and conference center on Rough River Lake, and daily daytime sightings of the creature running outside Gulick Hall had the young campers, safely indoors, plastered against the dining room's windows. A kinder, gentler creature, the Clean Fairy, however, also graced their lives, and she brought incentives. Each day she would announce the Clean Cabin Award, bestowing the winners with the honor of being the first to select that day's snacks.

This is just a slice of life from summer camp. All Saints not only played host to four camps for youth but added a fifth, offering a family camp for the first time.

With 97 percent of the campers reporting they would recommend the camp program to others, Camp Director Beth Bojarski could unequivocally say­and did to Trustees & Council-that the diocese's steadily growing camp program was a success.

Each age-grouped camp saw increased

numbers: the Senior High Camp grew by 46 percent; Primary, 13 percent; New Horizons, 25 percent; and Junior High, 21 percent. The new Family Camp brought 19 campers from six families. Overall, the camp program grew 23 percent, from 156 campers in 2009 to 191 this year.

Its success is measured in more than positive numbers. Bojarski reported that this year's overarching camp theme, "2010: The Year of the Superhero," turned out to be "delightfully broad," giving the chaplains cre­ative flexibility, and was well received. The campers reported learning about su­perheroes, God, and prayer.

At a recent staff meet­ing, Bojarski revealed that the most gratifying suc­cess comes in watching the campers grow and mature over the course of five to six days. "Camp really does create a safe place for youngsters," she said.

'The swimming pool at All Saints was worth every pen'!Y it cost," Camp Director Beth Bqjarski (bottom photo, lift) told diocesan leaders. Canoeing was also on campers'javorites fist.

Family camp was less struc­tured, but nonethe­less par­ents and grandpar­ents were intro­duced to the camp experi­ence. It

sive family vacation, said Bojarski. "We offered the same things we do at

the other camps," she said. 'We played games, had a camp fire and s'mores and evening prayer." In the morning the Rev. Heather Blewett had an hour-long program for the youngsters while Bishop Ted Gulick led a program with the adults. Afternoons were free with swim­ming, canoeing, basketball and crafts among available activities.

The family campers appreciated hav­ing choices, "really liked living in the dorms ... [and] really liked the staff. They also liked the schedule-generally, " she said, explaining that breakfast at 8 a.m. was not popular and will be changed next year. "One of the things they really loved," she added, "was having time be­ing a family."
