PERSPECTIVE

A theologian and friend of mine, Jane Redmont, posted on her blog on the Feast Day of Ascension this prayer by Janet Morley:

O God, you withdraw from our sight that you may be known by our love: help us to enter the cloud where you are hidden, and surrender all our certainty to the darkness of faith in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Jane reflected rather wistfully that this was an “apophatic” non-answer to a simple question: what is the ascension all about? “Apophatic” is a Greek word that refers to the

spiritual experience of emptiness and the hidden aspects of God in relationship with us—a mystery that defies human compre-hension or explana-tion. The ascension is one of the oddities of Christian faith: in

some ways much more elusive to our shared hu-man understanding than even the resurrection. How do we begin to explain that the Risen Christ is no longer with us but still present in our hearts, minds, and lips? And so much more importantly in our hands to help others in need? Or the age-old promise that Christ’s ascension makes room for the Spirit at Pentecost? If you find these questions and half-answers cryp-tic and not terribly helpful, know that I don’t ei-ther! The Risen Christ, the mystery of the Ascen-sion, and the arrival of the Holy Spirit tends to upend our certainties about the way the world and God works: all of these are meant to defy explana-tion. A bumper sticker on one of our members’ cars reads, “faith is a verb.”

We live out the mysteries of our faith in the real relation-ships, actions, and interac-tions of our lives. It’s a chal-lenge in a world that wants hard and fast real and practi-cal answers to life’s ever-present questions, but faith is about life lived with God, not necessarily answered with definitions. And some-times this life is startlingly impractical and won-drous. This summer, as many of you travel and learn more about the greater world, I invite you to carry the verb of faith with you. Live more deeply into that great relationship that defies definition as you see the Risen, ascended Christ, in the faces of strangers and the landscape of both the new and familiar. Remember the strength that comes through regular prayer. Remember the wonder of silence in strange places. And remember your place in a love much too great for our minds, even together, to comprehend. Blessings on all of you,

Father Richard

Ascension, Pentecost, and the Summer Ahead

June 2007

On Friday April 27, a group of youth and parents of COS had a remarkable experience. We drove to the Mill Valley Islamic Center, 10 minutes from our church in a tree-lined residential neighbor-hood. It turned out that this mosque was one of the most photographed and surveyed in the world, since it was the place where the “Marin Taliban” John Walker Lindh found Islam! My first lesson in the etiquette of Islam came when I met the son of the very courteous gentleman who hosted us at the Islamic center. I said, “Oh- we are about to be hosted by your father!” I reached out my hand to shake his, and he looked at it with alarm. I quickly learned that Islamic men do not shake the hands of women outside of their families. He smiled and nodded a greeting. Ibrahim Nana, our host, spent forty-five minutes with us in the lovely and spacious mosque answer-ing our questions before the prayers began, and another half hour afterwards. There were many questions but all were thoughtfully answered: What if a Muslim boy makes a mistake and drinks alcohol or smokes marijuana, would he be rejected by the community? No, that would be between the boy and Allah. What do you think of Christians? The Koran says that the Christians are the most compassionate- and we have seen this to be true. Each time there is a disaster they come out in great numbers to help. A Muslim may marry a Christian and not break faith. A Muslim may live with Christians, or eat with Christians. We are all people of the book, along with Jewish people. Why did people put their hands to their ears before starting prayer? It is a sign that they are no longer hearing the ma-terial world, but only God What do Muslims think of Jesus? Jesus is greatly respected as a prophet, as the off-spring of a virgin and as one who will come again in judgment. There is a saying that it is uncertain

who respects Jesus more, Chris-tians or Muslims! There is a whole chapter about the Virgin Mary in the Koran. We are amazed that some Christians do not believe in the virgin birth! The Virgin Mary is a great model of virtue. Do Muslims believe that Christ rose from the dead? No, we believe that Allah took him from the cross before he died. But we do believe that he will come again. Why did the men stand so close to each other in prayer even though the room is so big? The Koran says you must stand shoulder to shoul-der in prayer. Sometimes the shoulders of our shirts get worn out from praying next to each other 5 times a day! What is this room behind us? This is where the women pray. They pray sepa-rately from the men. But there are no women here tonight because the Koran says that they can wor-ship at home and be just as righteous. Is there a Muslim equivalent to a Bar Mitzvah? No, there is not a celebration or a party, but at thirteen years old the boy gets to sit in the front row when he is worshipping and this is a recog-nized honor. What is Jihad? Jihad means “holy struggle” and the biggest jihad in a Muslim’s life is to rise from their warm bed at dawn to perform the first of their five prayers of the day. We were also introduced to the five pillars of Is-lam: Shahada: belief in the basic tenets of Islam: That there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger.

Casey Lion, daughter of Nini and Garry Lion, is graduating from UCSF with her MD/MPH. In June, she will start her pediatrics residency at the University of Washington. Kelly Rose Glass, who is Connie and Dick Rider’s granddaughter, will graduate from San Marin HS and head off to Lewis and Clark Univer-sity in the fall. Several of our confirmands are making the big leap from middle school to high school: Elijah Goldberg, Jim Goldberg and Kathleen Pi-raino’s son, is graduating from Marin Country Day School. Sarah Higgins, who is Mary Washburn and Mark Chavez’ daughter, is graduating from Mill Valley Middle School. So is Eleanor Coleman, daughter of Julianna Jensen and Charles Coleman. And, Gemma Yob, whose parents are Rosalie Gearhart and John Yob. They’ll all be together at Tam High School in the fall.

In the May Perspective, I wrote about the forma-tion of a committee whose purpose was to discuss and plan steps related to the election of our per-manent rector. Juliana Jensen, Peter Menkin and I met recently to discuss these issues, and have informed and received input from our vestry. Dur-ing the March 7 ministry review with Fr. Richard, Canon Barlowe had the following suggestions - 1. We should think about the process for making

the permanent rector decision. 2. We should develop measures for evaluation,

both quantitative and qualitative, and we should be able to make a list.

3. We should encourage the participation of the rest of the congregation. Invite the congrega-tion to be part of the 'conversation'.

To accomplish these goals, we have developed the following plan: 1. We will send out a letter to the leaders of our

ministries, requesting their input, and will meet with them individually to discuss.

2. We will hold two or three town meetings to gain insight and input from the members of our congregation. Tentative dates for the town meetings are July 8 (after 10:00 service), Au-gust 12 (after 8:00 service), and Sept 8 or 9 (sometime during our retreat at Bishop’s Ranch). Vestry members will act as facilitators in these Meetings.

During these town meetings, we will seek your thoughts on whether Father Richard has shown (or can grow into) the qualities we are seeking in our next rector as de-scribed in the Parish Profile which came out of our Town Meetings in 2006. More spe-cific information will be provided prior to the Town Meetings.

3. We will have another ministry review with Fr. Richard, Canon Barlowe, and the vestry, some-time in August.

4. The vestry will hold a special meeting in Sep-tember for review and discussion, and to hold the election.

Please contact me or any member of the vestry if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support of COS and its ministries. Have a wonderful summer. Steve Quarles Senior Warden

If you haven’t already, and have the means, please consider a 10% increase in your pledge to help us reach our final goal and continue the wonderful growth in all areas of COS’ ministries.

Our fundraising efforts have taken us to $233,000.00! Only $7,000.00 shy of our $240,000.00 goal! It is because of you that such amazing progress has been made. We are truly blessed. Thanks to the entire congregation for your generosity and faith in the value of Church of Our Saviour.

We’re Nearly There!

Namaste: That of God that abides in me honors that of God that abides in you. Call it what you will…karma, the Holy Spirit, the soul, destiny… when I think of children, it always comes down to the Divine Spark! When God the Creator imagined each of us, s/he did so with great detail…DNA and genetic mate-rial, parents, temperament, circumstances, likes, and dislikes. And then the Creator did something almost unbelievable and most certainly amazing: God the Creator added a bit of God to each one of us. That is what I mean by the Divine Spark. What is totally astonishing is that the Creator gifted us with a unique piece of God’s self…we don’t all have the same spark! So, it makes sense that we each have unique ex-periences of the divine. Research validates that most of us first experience God as a child and somehow and sometime in nature. That was true for me, how about you? If that is the case, then why bother bringing chil-dren to church at all? (Especially when we are all families with little time together, hectic schedules, and many other choices of things to do on Sunday mornings!) Here is one reason: Religious Language! Children experience God and when they do, often their own divine spark has no way to share its story. How does one of a young age open up a theological dis-cussion? Every parent has been blown away by something their child has done or said in referenc-ing God. But do you know how to keep the conver-sation going? How can you support those divine sparks in your care? Develop a common language about God! You don’t even have to invent it. It is alive in the stories of our faith, the practices of our liturgy, and the way we care for one another in our church community and in our world. For adults, the language is in symbols and gestures and song and spoken word and silence. Those are languages that suit us.

For children, the languages most comfortable for them are story and play. That is the way we “speak” in Godly Play. This summer, don’t lose sight of your divine spark or those in your care. Keep speaking one another’s spiritual language so you can communicate more deeply. Come to church and get fed here even in the summer! And we’ll look forward to engaging in the language of story and play during the summer Sunday school series and when we come back to our Godly Play classrooms on September 16th! We hope to see you as we honor the children and their devoted teachers on Sunday, June 3rd. Namaste! Sally Sally Thomas and Ann Fricker are coordinators of the COS Godly Play program for children 3 ½ through 3rd grade.

The Divine Spark

June 2007

Over the next quarter, Outreach at COS will be leading us all in learning about, and supporting, charitable agencies that focus on the second Mil-lennium Development Goal of achieving universal education (check out www.un.org/millenniumgoals for more information). In our country, we take education for granted, but there are 113 million children worldwide who are likely never to set foot in a school. Your Outreach Committee wants you to know about: • Canal Alliance in San Rafael, which offers af-

ter school homework assistance and tutoring for children of all ages, as well as three levels of English Language Development (ELD) classes for over 500 participants each year. Fif-teen of our parishioners helped to paint the offices and classrooms at Canal Alliance in April during Rebuilding Together. To volun-teer, call 454.2640 (website: www.canalalliance.org).

• Bridge the Gap in Marin City, which provides students one-on-one tutoring at the Marin City Church of God. They serve approximately 40 students and ask for a once a week commit-ment. Call 847.8453 to volunteer.

• Church World Service—a cooperative ministry of 36 Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican de-nominations working to eradicate hunger and poverty. Almost one-half of their funds (nearly 96% of funding goes directly to services) is used for disaster relief, and refugee aid and resettlement. They believe that one of the most important tools for fighting poverty is educa-tion. CWS is helping over 2000 adults in An-gola learn to read and write, and assisting over 25,000 children in the Hazarajat region of Af-ghanistan to receive an education. CWS par-ticularly emphasizes the importance of girls attending school (website: www.churchworldservice.org).

COS collected over $500 from the Starfish boxes and Pancake Supper (thank you, every-one!); the commit-tee chose to add on to that amount from our Out-reach budget and send Food for the Poor a check for $1000. The Banana Bark cards have been or-dered and should be in soon. Please don’t forget to bring in your printer cartridges and toners for Food for the Poor. The basket is on the table be-neath the outreach bulletin board. We are also exploring a local organization called “Youthgive,” which aims to teach children ways to understand and practice giving to others less for-tunate than themselves. They have developed a curriculum which starts in 3rd grade and continues through high school. There is already a Youthgive Club at Tam High. The Youth Group will be serving lunch at Mt. Car-mel Church on Tuesday, June 19, and we will ex-plore the possibility of continuing to help Mt. Car-mel on a regular basis. A summer environmental project will be an-nounced soon, perhaps helping out with the reno-vation efforts at Angel Island or a beach clean-up. Stay tuned for more info! And finally, a questionnaire will be handed out in a few weeks asking your opinion of what we're do-ing at COS and what ideas you might have about outreach. Have you worked with an agency that you'd like us to know more about? This will be your chance to add your voice. Thank you. Your Outreach Committee

The Joint Standing Committee on Nominations for the General Convention must recruit and prepare nominees for five different elections at the 2009 General Convention in Anaheim, California. The positions to be filled will be a significant part of the core leadership of the Episcopal Church. The elections will be for: The Court for the Trial of a Bishop Four members -2 priests, 2 confirmed lay adults Trustees of the Church Pension Fund Twelve members The Executive Council Ten members - 6 lay, 2 bishops, 2 other clergy Board of Trustees of The General Theologi-cal Seminary Six members - 2 lay, 2 bishops, 2 other clergy General Board of Examining Chaplains Eleven members - 3 lay, 3 faculty members of seminaries/educational institutions, 3 presbyters with pastoral cures, 1 bishop

Your work for the church, your min-istry, and your contacts could be of invaluable help to the committee as they look for applicants for nomina-tion to these elections. Please go on line to http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/nomcomGC2009/ to see descriptions of the work and instructions on how to apply for nomination, and take some time to think of members of the Episcopal Church you believe would serve well in one of these positions. The Joint Standing Committee is committed to carefully considering each applicant, to nominat-ing two persons for each position and to increasing the diversity of the groups of nominees. Applica-tions are due by February 1, 2008.

Is This the Same as a Prayer Chain? No, the Prayer Chain is often activated before a difficult event, such as scheduled surgery, and usually happens on weekdays. The Chain begins with the Pastoral Care Committee, initiated either by its chair, Cathy Steele, or by Healing Team member Nancy Cone, and it proceeds along a phone tree until all its members have been in-cluded in the requested prayers. There are pres-ently about 30 members in the Prayer Chain. These prayer assists are free, and they’re offered with love. If you need the additional help that they can offer, please accept and use them. And if you’d like to participate in the healing team or the prayer chain, Nancy or Cathy can give you more information.

Who Are Those People in the Back of the Church? Well, if they’re standing back there during com-munion, and if they’re Marjorie Cope, John Nichol-son, Juliana Jensen and Nancy Cone, then they’re our commissioned healing ministers, locally known as the Healing Team. They are there to as-

sist anyone who needs healing prayer. The Team prays aloud with each parishioner who requests it and anoints that person with oil. After the service, the

Team puts the parishioner’s name on a confiden-tial prayer list. Those on the list receive prayers every day for a month, and our clergy often asks the Team to add names to its list. The Team’s list is never published, and only clergy members are given copies of it.

Strength and Survival One of our church’s most remarkable stories began across the world in Prague, Czechoslovakia in the years before World War II. When the Skutezskys divorced, their children were divided between the two parental house-holds. The older sister and brother stayed with their father; the youngest went with her mother and grandmother to live in Vienna -- an unlucky choice, as it turned out, because the Nazis soon invaded Austria. The three Czechs fled back to Prague, and briefly, the siblings were reunited, but not for long. “My father,” the younger daughter now says, “could see what was coming.” He sent his older children to Switzerland and London. Then he took his little daughter out to dinner for her tenth birthday and told her he wouldn’t be seeing her for awhile because he was going on a business trip. Truthfully, he was going to England. From there, he kept sending papers to relocate his child, but the papers kept expiring, and the Nazis kept ad-vancing on the country. It was now urgent to move little girl get out; the Skutezskys were secular Jews. With luck and great effort, they arranged to place the child on the last children’s transport out of Prague. From there, she was able to join her fa-ther in London. The mother was not so lucky. She was caught by the Nazis and sent to the Teresien-stadt concentration camp. When war was declared in 1939, all the children went on to Canada, where several important things happened to the younger daughter. First, she entered boarding school and learned English. Next, she became familiar with the Anglican church. And finally, young Eva Marie Skutezsky started nurses’ training at Montreal General Hos-pital and embarked on a lifelong career. Happily, her mother survived the concentration camp and was able to rejoin the rest of the family in Canada after the war.

Eva Marie’s nursing skills took her to the U.S., where she found employment in Chicago and New York. In Montefiore, NY, she participated as a surgi-cal assistant in the nation’s first open heart surgery. And later, while attending an oper-ating room nurses’ convention in Anaheim, CA, her supervi-sor suggested she take a few days off and see the state. That turned out to be another life-changing journey because the scenic drive up Highway 1 left her “very intrigued,” about relocating here. So about thirty years ago, she settled into a shared apartment in Tiburon, started looking for churches in the area, and found two. Church of Our Saviour was the first one, and turned out to be the last. Before she could visit the other church, Eva Marie was captured by Charlaine Shackelford and recruited into the choir. Here too, in spite of their face-covering surgical masks, she was recog-nized by another nurse from Montreal General, Connie Rider. Nursing also brought Eva Marie her husband, Bob. They met on a trip to Salzburg, Austria. Bob’s wife was an invalid then, and Eva Marie as-sisted with her nursing duties. After the lady died, Eva Marie went to Riverside to visit the widower, and the two old friends fell in love. They married at COS in 1981. Ms. Skutezky became Mrs. Keagy. Bart Shackelford gave the bride away. The newly-weds had eleven years together before Bob died in 1992. Fr. David gave the memorial service. Those who know her well know about Eva Marie Keagy’s wonderful teddy bear collection – over 200 bears. The first, though – and certainly most pre-cious--was a bear her mother sent to her when they were first separated, right after she’d gone to England. It’s a classic Steiff bear. Made in Germany.

The Episcopal Church of Our Saviour

All high school age youth (and anyone who loves this film!) are invited to a costume party to watch the classic, The Princess Bride. Come on June 3rd dressed as a princess, pirate (“you’d make a great Dread Pirate Roberts”), masked Man in Black , Evil Prince (“Humperdink...Humperdink, Hum-perdink, Humperdink”), Miracle Max or his wife, a great swordsman like Inigo Montoya, the six-fingered Duke, or any character. We’ll have a nice MLT (“mutton, lettuce and to-mato, where the mutton is nice and lean”), chased with a lidocaine punch. And for dessert, a miracle pill (“chocolate coating makes it go down better”). We’ll storm the castle (Hammond Hall) at 6:30PM. “If I’m right, and I am never wrong”...it’s going to be a great evening. Not have fun? “Inconceivable!”
