Canterbury Ministries in aCtionCaring Days = Lasagna, HOMEgrOWn VEggiEs, & arT!
Homegrown Alabama and your Caring Days representatives will work together to offer a deli-
cious Veggie Lasagna supper to all who come to the Student Center on Wednesday, July 21, at
6:00 p.m. Produce from our Homegrown Alabama Farmer’s Market will be made into a great
meal for all to enjoy. It has even been reported that homemade Peach Cobbler may finish
off the meal! Proceeds from the meal will be donated to the Caring Days Capital Fundrais-
ing drive. Come and join your Caring Days representatives for a great meal and an evening of
fellowship - all for a great cause. The Caring Days Capital Campaign is raising money to pay
for land and a new functional building to care for adults with memory
disorders.
June was packed with art at Canterbury. The three exhibitions - Can-
terbury Kids, Arts ‘N’ Autism, and the Caring Days Art Exhibit - were a
huge success. In July, the CARING DAYS ART EXHIBIT continues, with new
art work replacing any pieces purchased. Donations to the Caring Days
Capital Campaign are welcomed.
SAVE YOUR SHOES
The EYC is collecting old athletic shoes for Share Our Soles. Share Our Soles is a non-profit or-
ganization that collects, cleans, and distributes running shoes to underprivileged youth in the
U. S. and around the world. So, clean out your closet! Bring us your tired, your smelly athletic
shoes (a.k.a. “sneakers,” tennis shoes) yearning to breathe free, between now and August 31,
to the box in Genevieve’s Office.
MEaLs On WHEELs nEEDs yOur HELp
“Feed my sheep.”
Jesus spoke these words to Peter in the last
chapter of the Gospel of John. The Fourth
Sunday Meals on Wheels Ministry is one way that
Canterbury Chapel follows Jesus’ instruction.
This ministry calls for us to give our time, talent, and treasure. Every fourth Sunday, one
of four teams prepare and package about 165 meals, and still more folks help deliver those
meals. The food and supplies are paid for by donations to the Meals on Wheels Ministry. Cur-
rently the funds used for this ministry are running very low. Please consider supporting this
ministry by making a donation - you may place it in the offering plate on Sundays or deliver it to the Chapel office. If you are giving by

COMMuniTy OF HOpE annuaL COnFErEnCE 2010
Gus Davis and Laurie Fowler attended the Com-
munity of Hope Annual Conference at Camp Allen in
Navasota, Texas. The Reverend Doctor Helen Apple-
berg, one of the founders of Community of Hope,
presided over the conference. There were workshops
on different aspects of COH training including de-
veloping leaders, new core curriculum, new ministry
opportunities, intentional listening, contemplative
practices, and community worship. In addition to
the formal sessions, the informal networking with
other COH members from Texas and other parts of the country was most valuable. Lots
of great friendships were renewed and new ones made at the conference. Gus and Laurie
are looking for candidates for the Fall 2010 Community of Hope Training Class. For more
information about COH, contact Gus Davis at gdgraphic@yahoo.com or (205) 310 5743.
THE DiOCEsE Digs Our garDEn
The Canterbury Community Garden (CCG) was recently
awarded a Parish Outreach Grant of $1,500 from the Dio-
cese of Alabama Mission and Outreach Department. Pa-
rishioners, students, and community members will decide
together how best to use the funds to help the Garden
become completely self-sustaining. Periodic updates and

notes from the senior Warden...
It was a privilege for me to recognize and honor Roland Ficken during coffee hour on
Sunday, June 27th, for his years of dedication and service as Deacon at Canterbury.
Roland began preparation for the Diaconate in 2000 and was ordained in November
of 2002. That year, Bishop Parsley assigned Roland to Canterbury Chapel where he
served until 2009. This was one year beyond his retirement as the Bishop asked him
to continue on in order to support Jon Chalmers and the parish through the 2008-
2009 transitional year.
Roland went above and beyond the call of duty as Deacon at Canterbury. His ded-
ication and tireless efforts to numerous outreach programs such as Meals on Wheels
and the Deacon’s Deli inspired and benefited many. Roland represented Canterbury
and our diocese through the disaster relief program assisting in relief

“Love one another as I have loved you.” This is the New Commandment from God. Our Lord
gives us this new, distilled direction at the Last Supper, and the body of believers has been try-
ing to follow it ever since. It is a narrow path.
And yet the brilliance of it is its simplicity. Wake up in the morning: love. Go to school or
work: love. Go home: love.
Love is the theme; the variations are the specific ways we carry out this love. Jesus is the
vine, we are the branches. God’s love in us comes out of us to others. Every person, every
situation can be loved with the love of the Holy One. If it all sounds too simple, just try it for
a solid week. For a single day. It is a narrow, narrow path.
One of the ways Christians love one another as Christ loves us involves working together.
In our working we dream a common dream and labor in a common field, and pray our common
prayer for the Lord’s will to be done. When everyone involved wins, the presence of the Lord
is unmistakable. Harmony happens. Individual fears and power agendas get rewritten, so that
every item on the new agenda is love, love, love. When this happens, Christian community
forms and, instantaneously, the Gospel gets loose in the neighborhood, just like it likes to do.
People begin to hear about and feel the influence of that Christian community. When a church
begins to love even the world beyond its walls, the very Kingdom of God comes near.
This is what’s happening at Canterbury. This is what you are doing.
When Homegrown Alabama and Caring Days get together to make a lasagna meal happen at
Canterbury, the Kingdom of God comes near. Money raised for the Caring Days Capital Fund is
money raised to better the lives of God’s people. This equals loving them as Christ loves us.
When Homegrown Alabama and Deacon’s Deli get together and give away food vouchers to
the people who come to Canterbury on Tuesday mornings for food, the Kingdom of God comes
near. In God’s Kingdom all are fed. Feeding God’s people equals loving them as Christ loves us.
When the EYC and Share Our Soles get together and collects old shoes to be refurbished and
given to the poor, God’s Kingdom is near. We become the feet and the hands of Christ when we
love others as he loves us.
When Arts N Autism and Caring Days get together at Canterbury for a common showing
in the art gallery, the Kingdom of God reveals itself. Raising awareness and money for both
groups is raising awareness and money to love and serve God’s people. This is loving others as
Christ loves us.
Canterbury Chapel is called to be the hands and feet of Christ on the campus and in the
wider community. Thank you for making this happen, thank you being this.
I wonder where the Spirit of the Lord will call us to go next?
The Peace of the Lord be always with you,
Dear Canterbury,

A PRAYER fOR tHE GUlf Of MExicO
We pray today for the preservation of
our natural environment, especially the
Gulf of Mexico and the lands and waters
it touches:
Guide those who labor to contain the oil
that endangers the creatures of sea and
land; Strengthen those who work to pro-
tect them; Have mercy on those whose
livelihoods will suffer; Forgive us for our
carelessness in using the resources of na-
ture, and give us wisdom and reverence
so to manage them in the future, that no
one may suffer from our abuse of them,
and that generations yet to come may
continue to praise you for your bounty;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Written by the Rev. Canon Beverly
Gibson, Sub-Dean of Christ Church
Cathedral, Mobile
This prayer and a litany for the Gulf of
Mexico is available online here: http://

Serving in July
continued from page 2
efforts throughout our diocese and the southeast including the destruction from the tor-
nado in Carbon Hill and the unforgettable wrath of Katrina in New Orleans. Roland’s deep
compassion, calm demeanor and strong work ethic were invaluable during these crises.
Throughout his tenure as Deacon, Roland served on the Vestry at Canterbury and several
boards for non-profit agencies in our community as a resource and a voice of reason, wis-
dom, encouragement and support.
Roland is a caring, compassionate and loving individual whom I have a great deal of
respect for. I am so grateful for his friendship and truly believe that Canterbury is a for-
tunate and blessed parish because of him. A portrait of Roland now hangs in the Canter-
bury Student Center honoring his service to our parish. On behalf of the Vestry and the
entire parish I want to offer a heartfelt expression of gratitude and appreciation! Thank
you Roland!
garDEnErs WOrk WiTH DEaCOn’s DELi
Volunteers of the CCG,
along with members of
Homegrown Alabama, have
a highly successful Farmers
Market voucher program for
patrons of Deacon’s Deli.
Vouchers redeemable only
at the Homegrown Alabama
Farmers Market are distrib-
uted every Tuesday morning along with fresh produce do-
nated by vendors of the Farmers Market. This program has
been funded so far by donations and by the money raised
parking cars on the lawn during football season. There is
a great interest in expanding this program to neighbor-
ing churches and food pantries. Those willing to volunteer
time or resources to this effort should contact Erica Smith,
Lindsey Mullen, Lydia Atkins or Kelley Hudlow. A special
thank you to all the farmers who’ve donated produce to
our deacon’s deli this month. Support local producers
by coming to the Homegrown Alabama Farmers market,
Thursdays, 3-6 pm, on the Canterbury lawn.

Next time you’re at the grocery story, please add a couple
of these items to your cart. You may put them in the basket
in the Student Center at any time. On the left are items we
cannot obtain from the West Alabama Food Bank or Sam’s
because they come in such large proportions. Thank you!5
