Not All Those Who Wander Are LostThe JoNAThAN DANieLs PiLgrimAge

On Saturday, August 14 at 11 a.m. the 12th Annual Jonathan Daniels Pilgrim-age will begin in Hayneville, Alabama. This pilgrimage honors and celebrates the life, work, and death of Jonathan Myrick Daniels, an Episcopal seminarian who was killed on August 20, 1965. Daniels first came to Selma in 1965 in re-sponse to the call of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for students and others to join him for a march to Montgomery. After this experience, Daniels felt this short trip was not enough, and he made arrangements to return to Selma.

On August 14, Jonathan Daniels and others went to Fort Deposit to picket local businesses. They were arrested and held in jail in Hayneville. On August 20, the group was released. Jonathan Dan-iels and three others went to Varner’s Grocery Store to get something to drink. There they were confronted by Tom L. Coleman who was holding a shotgun. When Coleman aimed the gun at Ruby Sales, a young African American woman, Jonathan Daniels pushed her out of the way and took the full shotgun blast and was killed instantly. Coleman was charged with manslaugh-ter and was acquitted by an all white jury. Pilgrimage transcends faith traditions. A pilgrimage is a spiritual journey; it involves movement and wandering. Pilgrimage sites can be far away in Jerusalem, Rome, Assisi, or Lindesfarne. Or they can be close to home in Hayneville, Alabama. Taking part in a holy wandering helps us discover our roots, to connect us with the holy places and saints of ages past that are always with us. The Jonathan Daniels Pilgrimage allows us to walk in the footsteps of a young man who lived and died in faith. We can gather outside

of the county jail where Daniels was held. We can kneel and pray on the ground where Daniels was killed. We can seek reconciliation and grace through Holy Eucharist celebrated in the courtroom where Daniels’ killer was acquitted. The Jonathan Daniels Pilgrimage connects us to our history in all its ugliness of injustice and in all its beauty found in the lives of those who struggled to right that injustice. We go not just to remember the past, but to meet God in the present in a holy place. We go to be revived and filled by the Holy Spirit and to be in-spired by the life of Jonathan Daniels. We go because there is still injustice in our world, and in the words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “injus-tice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We go so that we can be strengthened to continue the struggle for justice here and now. If you

are interested in participating in the Jonathan Daniels Pilgrimage or have questions, please contact Kelley Hudlow at akhudlow13@gmail.com. We will try to carpool and will coordinate departure from the chapel at 8:00 a.m., Saturday, August 14. We need those willing to drive and those will-ing to be passengers. --A. Kelley Hudlow

WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!

UA classes start back August 18, and we all begin to change from summer to fall (even though the heat will be with us for some months to come). To welcome back our students, EVERYONE is invited for a cookout on Sunday, August 22, after the 6:00 p.m. service. Ham Bagby and Tim Hammond will be playing live music, the vestry will be providing the food, and the Brotherhood of St. Andrews will be grilling the burgers. All are invited and encouraged to attend!

SCHool yeAr SCHedule BegInS Note the changes in our Fall Schedule of Services, which are mostly the same EXCEPT that the Chaplain’s Class starts back meeting Wednesday, August 25, at 9 p.m., with a service of Holy Eucharist afterward.

COMMUNiTy OF HOpE iS LOOKiNg FOr yOU!

The Community of Hope defines itself as a “school for God’s service.” COH trains lay pastoral caregivers to provide a non-threatening, listening, and compassionate pres-ence to those in need including to parish members, University students, and commu-nity members. Our Fall 2010 training class begins soon and we are looking for new COH members. The training is a comprehensive course that consists of 14 sessions including intro-duction to COH, theology of pastoral care; Benedictine spirituality; listening, prayer, Christian meditation and silence; the pastoral visit and boundaries; confidentiality and debriefing; two practice pastoral visits; grief; exploring pastoral ministry; discovering who you are; commitment to ministry; and a retreat. These classes prepare community members to be compassionate listeners wherever they are called to go in their ministry. Ministry opportunities abound in the University and Tuscaloosa communities including working with K-12 and college students, adults, and senior adults in all types of settings.

Opportunities abound this month (as always) for you to give of your time and talents. Community of Hope, Cursillo, our Canterbury readers, ushers, the Flower Guild, and other servers, are just a few of many to choose from. Look through the list of Ministries on page 5. Please think seriously about devoting some energy to one of these areas. It is through God’s love and your energy that Canterbury will grow as a community for worship, spiritual growth, and compas-sionate service. Your Senior Warden,

Mark

dear canterbury,

Fall in T-town—things will be jumping soon, that’s for sure. Summer goes at its (somewhat) slower pace, but Fall is not a season of slowness. Almost all at once our students, staff and fac-ulty are back and are everywhere, football cranks up its giant cultural engine, and Canterbury accelerates into its full-throttle schedule! We are ready!

What happens here in the Fall is a celebration of life. Even as the cooling weather (we’ll have to wait a bit for that…) calls the leaves to let go of their short lives, and as Fall calls us to remember that Winter will come soon enough, in Tuscaloosa we make a powerful celebration of life. All the University activity, all its preparation for the future and all its present-tense daily life (and even some of the night life), celebrates the goodness of God’s sacred gift. Life is a gift, like love. Neither life nor love can be earned; both are given. Because God is generous, we know it’s a given that life and love are ours for the asking. In fact, God gives them before we ask, and has more to give when we do ask. And anybody can access this helpful gift.

Our great work, at the University and everywhere else, is to receive and then share. And when we share, we receive. The only way to keep the love of God is to give it away. Like breath, it must come in and then go out. Without this, life ceases.

It is possible to try and hoard what God gives, but the result is that we soon forget we were ever given anything. We begin to believe that we have earned all we have. You see how fear (which is the impetus for hoarding) leads to delusion. This happens every day at the University and in the wider community, and we are subject to this, too. But God is generous and does “not abandon us to the power of death,” but heals, forgives, and restores. Grace is love freely given, without a cost counted. Grace is what we and the University and the city yearn for. Can-terbury’s central mission is to give out this grace, this love from God, to the campus and wider community.

We are not here to be all things to all people, but we are here to receive and share the salvific love of Christ with all people. Episcopalians have a way of doing this that works powerfully, that makes a clear difference, that bears good fruit. May Tuscaloosa have all the fruit it needs this Fall. May Canterbury offer itself as a replenishing cornucopia of Christ’s enduring grace.

O God of justice and compassion, you put down the proud and the mighty from their place, and lift up the poor and afflicted: we give you thanks for your faithful witness Jonathan Myrick Daniels, who, in the midst of injustice and violence, risked and gave his life for another; and we pray that we, following his example, may make no peace with oppression; through Jesus Christ the just one: who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

ABOUT CUrSiLLO

Cursillo is a Spanish word which means “a short course.” Cusillo is a short course in Christianity with the goal of deepening your spirituality and your understanding of God’s unconditional love, and to prepare confirmed Episcopalians for leadership in the local church. Cursillo weekends are held at Camp McDowell during March, April, June, September, and October each year. Although it does not cost anything to attend, you must commit your time from Thursday afternoon through Sunday evening. Additionally, you will need a sponsor who is a Canterbury Cursillista. Cursillistas are also expected to become involved in a Reunion group, which meets on a weekly basis. There are a number of Cursillistas at Canterbury and several Reunion groups. Christ Church and St. Matthias’ along with Canterbury Cursillistas make up the Greater Tuscaloosa Ultreya which usually meets the week after each Cursillo weekend. If you are interested in experiencing an unforgettable weekend at Camp McDowell with other Episcopalians from around the Diocese of Alabama, please talk with Father Marc Burnette, Canterbury Laity Rector Ben Porter, or other Cursillistas regarding sub-mitting an application for an upcoming Cursillo Weekend. A wonderful blessing awaits you there, and for the rest of your life. A word of caution: if you have experienced the death of a close family member, a divorce, or other traumatic events, it is recommend-ed that you wait one year before attending Cursillo as it is not intended to be a therapy weekend. -- Ben Porter, Canterbury Laity Rector
