From the interim Rector
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is a welcoming congregation offering spiritual sanctuary to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or socio-economic class; and to all persons who have felt marginalized in any way. We recognize each individual as a unique child of God. As we move forward with the work of this church, we commit ourselves to
making justice and inclusivity a reality in this congregation and the world.
!!Practice Resurrection !
Kentucky farmer-‐poet Wendell Berry composed a poem that imagines how we might live Easter in our world of cold calculation, where tensions of pro?it-‐loss, success-‐failure hold sway. !
So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world… Ask the questions that have no answers… Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts… Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection. !
Spending time daily with Berry’s verses could make for fruitful Eastertide observance. Imagine taking a few minutes each morning to envision how, that day, as Easter’s Great Fifty Days move toward Pentecost, you could “do something that won’t compute,” along Berry’s playfully jagged lines.
One of my challenges with such practice is to keep perspective on the past by not letting what’s been hold me back from what can be. Considering “all the facts” may reduce risk, even minimize loss and failure. But to be creative “like the fox”—sniff out new territory—takes freedom to explore and experiment, to make “more tracks than necessary,” including “some in the wrong direction.” (Continued)

If you participated in any of your rector search committee’s “Holy Trinity 101” learning opportunities earlier this Easter season, you may appreciate how the same balance applies now in our life as a congregation. Through this parish assessment stage of the search process, we re?lect on past and present to learn, and we project future possibilities to grow. Keeping perspective and considering all the facts, yet also snif?ing out new territory and taking the freedom to explore and experiment—even at the risk of making tracks in the wrong direction—it’s all vital through this interim time.
Jesus’ disciples, after all, made lots of tracks in the wrong direction as they trudged with him toward Jerusalem and the cross. As St. John tells their story, the turning point came Easter night (20:19-‐29). Jesus, risen from death, appeared among them as they huddled in fear of powers-‐that-‐be. He promised, “Peace be with you.” And they realized this stranger was he only after “he showed them his hands and his side” still bearing cruci?ixion wounds. He was recognizable yet somehow new. His past remained part of him even as his resurrection freed him.
Then he freed them. By breathing the Holy Spirit on them, he transformed them from disciples (learners) into apostles (those sent)—and out he sent them to make more tracks than ever. In time they ventured to the ends of the known world sharing resurrection news: God’s promise of life in its fullest, no matter what’s been.
Through this month and the summer ahead your rector search committee’s aim is the same. They’ll make tracks to seek out your thoughts and ideas, hopes and fears, dreams and imaginings for the congregation Holy Trinity is and can be—so the vestry can better know what kind of leader to call.
And, so in years to come, you as a congregation can all the more joyfully do as the poet urges: Love the Lord. Love the world. Laugh. Practice resurrection. !

!Church Women United 2015 May Friendship Day ~ Celebrates the Journey of the Caregiver ~ May Friendship Day 2015 will be celebrated Sunday, May 3, 3 to 4: 30 p.m. at the Darrtown United Methodist Church. Joan Potter-Somer, Director of Oxford Seniors, will be our speaker. Caregiving is a task entrusted to us by God. As women, we care for others throughout our lives: children and youth, our spouses and significant others, our parents and grandparents. Caregiving can be a lonely place of isolation and frustration. When the tasks of caregiving overwhelm us and our ability to care for ourselves, we recognize a need for love and respite for ourselves and our caregiving sisters and brothers. This May Friendship Day is for all people who struggle with their calling of caring for the needs of others. May Friendship Day encourages us to journey with those in our midst who find themselves in the role of caregivers. Many of us are on that journey. !Adult Forum ~ Gather at 9:15 am on the following Sundays in the undercroft. May 3 ~ Linda Church will talk about Reiki in her life. May 10 ~ Mother’s Day. you are invited to share stories about mothering. May 17 ~ Peter Williams will continue the discussion of Fundamentalism in the United States. !Updating Office Records ~ Would you like your birthday noted in the TRIAD?
