FROM THE RECTOR

GROWING IN CHRIST

Maria Harris, in her book Fashion Me a People, describes

the five functions of Church. She uses the Greek words:

Leitourgia = liturgy, worship

Kerygma = proclamation, the ways we proclaim the Good

News, in and out of worship

Koinonia = community, coming to know and love each

other, and to bear each others’ burdens

Diaconia = service, caring for our own and for strangers in need beyond our

congregation

Didache = teaching, learning, helping our minds understand what our spirits

apprehend

Episcopalians are especially proud that we don’t check our minds at the door when

we come to church. There is room for thinking, pondering, questioning, doubting,

changing our minds. In fact, the THREE-LEGGED STOOL Richard Hooker gave us to

comprehend how we connect to God broadens God’s revelation to us not only to

Scripture but also to Tradition (theologians, devotional writings, art of the past), and

Reason/Experience.

The third leg of the stool, reason/experience, means that we ourselves are part of

God’s ongoing revelation. For example, God may be accessed through science;

through an encounter with a baby hummingbird; through my neighbor’s doubt;

through my own reflection on an experience of sitting with someone who is dying. If

our own minds and lives are therefore important prospective mediators of God’s

revelation to the world, should we not develop our minds and our reflection on

experience in order to have the broadest access to the presence of God?

Unlike some religions, Jews and Christians are blessed to have a critical tradition that

is not afraid to ask questions of God or Scripture, not afraid to apply Bible and

tradition today. While worship is essential, it is insufficient to fully live the Christian

life, make sophisticated moral choices, and interpret our faith in light of real-life

experiences. We are called to grow into Christ’s likeness, to mature, to move on

toward “perfection” (= wholeness) (Hebr 6:1). How?

I. LEARN MORE ABOUT OURSELVES. The best way to understand the human

beings God made is to start with our complicated selves. The staff received a gift of

self-knowledge at the end of May with the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory,

derived from Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist. Jung realized in his analysis practice

that people are born with ways their energy gets filled up or spent, ways they prefer

to take in information (through their five senses, or through their hunches or 6th

sense), bases for decisions as to how they respond to information (some start with

what’s just; others start with what will create harmony), and whether they prefer to

be spontaneous or to have a list and a plan.

For example, a friend of mine (J, prefers lists and plans) asked her husband (P, likes spontaneity) where he’d like to go on

vacation. He didn’t know, but thought New England. She got on-line and made full arrangements for three vacation

scenarios – the history tour, the beach vacation, and the urban museum shopping trip. When she presented them to her

husband who liked to keep possibilities open, he felt trapped into a decision which would take all the fun out of it! So he

said, “Maybe we should just go to the Southwest.” All that work! She was furious. –But once they took the Myers-Briggs

inventory, they realized they were not trying to give each other a hard time. Rather, they could honor each other with

plans that left room for spontaneity.

MEMBERS of ST. ALBAN’S ARE INVITED TO JOIN THE VESTRY JULY 21 for insights about ourselves and one another,

6:30-9 PM, at St. Alban’s.

Anyone confirmed, or anyone 16 years and older, is invited. We encourage youth-grandparent pairs, or teen-parent

teams. Myers-Briggs can help you listen to your youth, and communicate, too! Miss Deb’s sons were surprised to

discover through Myers-Briggs that their best friends were very different from them – a valuable insight. It’s easier to

have compassion on folks we understand better. Leaders, followers, those seeking God within, those with relationship

issues, college applicants, baby-sitters, teachers, business-folks, couples married recently or for many years, all have

insights awaiting you from this low-key valuable workshop, offered free to you.

First: Come by the church office to pick up the survey, fill out the answer sheet, and return it before July 11. Our leaders,

Stephen Weed and Susan Scherer, will open up for us the wonder of God’s diverse gifts, given to each of us for the

building up of the body of Christ. (Please see Ephesians 4.)

Second: Come to the living room at St. Alban’s by 6:30 PM, Monday, July 21.

II. LEARN MORE ABOUT GOD THROUGH SCRIPTURE (starting in August).

a. EFM: Sal Piazza and Mike Bissell spent this last year in the Episcopal Bible Study Education for

Ministry*, Sal in a Thursday evening group at St. Patrick’s, Dublin, and Mike in an on-line course through

the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. EfM is theological education by extension – no need to go to

a seminary. They both loved it! Talk to them about it.

*There are two classes available at St. Patrick’s Dublin, 614-766-2664:

Monday nights, 7 pm. and Thursday nights, 7 pm. Give yourself a gift! Sign yourself up.

b. BIBLE STUDY: there are several Bible Study opportunities, including our own 2nd and 4th Thursdays

group in St. Alban’s dining room, 11:30 AM – 1 PM,

III. INTERESTED IN A BOOK GROUP? Contact Laura Piazza, 614-565-5050.

And there’s more coming! If you have an offering or seek an offering, be in touch!

MUSIC

Hymn Society of America and Canada hymn festivals coming to town….

Columbus is the chosen site for the Hymn Society’s Annual Conference July

13-17. Most of the sessions will be held on the Trinity Lutheran Seminary

campus, and are attended by only registered participants. However, there

are three outstanding hymn festivals to which the public is invited free of

charge. The conference theme this year is The Power of Teaching to

Strengthen the Congregation’s Song. Bill Miller is a member of the society

and attended last year’s conference in Richmond, VA.

Sing without a Safety Net will be led by John Bell from the Iona Community in Scotland. John Bell is world renowned for

his gathering and making available liturgical songs from various cultures around the world. This festival is Monday, July

14th at 7:30 PM in the Gloria Dei Center on the Trinity campus here in Bexley.

Jivan Dho (Give us Life), a festival on land and community led by Swee Hong Lim and Chi Yi Chen is scheduled for

Tuesday evening, July 15, at 7:30 in the Gloria Dei Center.

Corners of Unmeasured Space, led by Eric Wall, will take place at the First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St. This

church is well known by concert goers in the area because there are two large pipe organs in the church. Hymn singing

reaches new levels of grandeur with these two mighty instruments supporting the singing.

Daring Beyond the Page: Journeys into the Holy, led by Jorge Lockward and Amanda Powell, will be the final event of the

conference on Thursday morning, 10:30 AM – noon. This festival will be held in the Gloria Dei Center on the seminary

campus.

You will leave each of these festivals with a renewed appreciation for the power of strong congregational song. Feel free

to attend one or all four of the festivals. We are fortunate to have this national, once-in-a-lifetime, event in our

backyard.

LITURGICAL LIVING

Who Was St. Alban?

St. Alban was the first martyr of England, his own country (homeland). During a persecution of

Christians, Alban, though a pagan, hid a priest in his house. The priest made such a great

impression on him that Alban received instructions and became a Christian himself.

In the meantime, the governor had been told that the priest was hiding in Alban's house, and he

sent his soldiers to capture him. But Alban changed clothes with his guest, and gave himself up in

his stead. The judge was furious when he found out that the priest had escaped and he said to

Alban, "You shall get the punishment he was to get unless you worship the gods." The Saint

answered that he would never worship those false gods again. "To what family do you belong?"

demanded the judge. "That does not concern you," said Alban. "If you want to know my religion, I

am a Christian." Angrily the judge commanded him again to sacrifice to the gods at once. "Your

sacrifices are offered to devils," answered the Saint. "They cannot help you or answer your

requests. The reward for such sacrifices is the everlasting punishment of Hell."

July 2014 P a g e | 5

Since he was getting nowhere, the judge had Alban whipped. Then he commanded him to be beheaded. On the way to

the place of execution, the soldier who was to kill the Saint was converted himself, and he too, became a martyr.

CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH MINISTRIES

Summer Sundays for Children

Nursery, preschool and elementary children through age 10 are invited to join Ms.

Deb for Summer Sundays. Wear play clothing, and at 10:15 AM on Sunday meet in

the Children’s Library (across from the nursery) to begin the Summer Sunday

adventure. We’ve played with water, enjoyed taking turns on the playground while

relishing the sunshine, and planted seeds in the children’s garden. Each Sunday

there is a new lesson on what we can each do to be good stewards of God’s

creation. July will include being creative with recycled items, caring for pets, and learning about how to take care of the

earth. We invite your children to join the fun!

Contact Deb Parker ([email protected]) - Children’s and Youth Ministries Coordinator - if you have questions

or suggestions.

SOCIAL CONCERNS

CARING FOR OUR OWN – CARDS & PRAYERS

Libby Kurtz: Centenarian

The most elder of our elders, Libby Kurtz, will be 100 Years old August

12. Will you help St. Alban’s present her with 100 cards and notes at the

10:15 service August 3rd before she departs for Michigan? Please bring

or send these items to St. Alban’s so they arrive by August 3.

Please offer thanks to God for successful surgeries for Sylvia Acton (two

eyes), Kristin Becknell (successful cancer treatment), Whit Dillon (back), Doris McAuley (back), and Peter Williams (back).

Support for serious cancer treatments:

1. McClain “Macy” Howarth

Many of you have participated in sending cards to Macy, daughter of Lain and Robert Howarth. Macy's leukemia is in

remission and she is beginning another round of chemotherapy to keep her in remission. She will then have a bone

marrow transplant, probably in August. We are continuing to send cards and notes to Macy, Robert and Lain. Their

address is in a basket in the Living Room or call the church for this information.

2. Jonah and Noah

Almost two year-old Jonah is enduring very serious cancer treatment, and almost five year-old older brother Noah is

lonely and scared. Cards, puzzles, and prayers are most welcome to these grandchildren of Ramona and Ron from our

parish. Their address is in St. Alban’s Living Room.

The Neighborhood House

It has come to our attention that there continues to be a need for food to stock The Neighborhood House (NH) Food

Pantry, especially for canned vegetables. While the NH is able to purchase some items from the Mid-Ohio Food Bank,

they cannot afford to purchase vegetables. We are asking that when you go grocery shopping that you purchase a

couple of cans of vegetables. There will be a box in the Living Room for you to leave your contributions. We will

continue this collection through the summer.

For those who do not know, The Neighborhood House, Inc. is a settlement house on the Near East side of Columbus.

Founded in 1909 by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, The Neighborhood House is a JUBILEE MINISTRY OF THE EPISCOPAL

CHURCH, through which the church addresses domestic poverty by providing direct services, such as food.

For many families, it is a hardship or an impossibility to buy food. More than ever, hunger and food scarcity is a problem

and is occurring at the same time as a cut in the food stamp program. Anything we contribute is really needed and

helpful. This food pantry serves people in five zip codes, and serves patrons regardless of zip code at least once.

SCHOOL SUPPLY COLLECTION

The Social Concerns Committee is sponsoring the collection of school supplies for The Dowd Education Center of the

Homeless Families Foundation from July 13 through September 7. A list of requested items is noted below and will also

be available on the Living Room table.

Homeless children are the innocent victims in the tragedy of family homelessness. Homeless children may be ill

prepared to start school, and once in school, may fall behind their peers academically. The Dowd Education Center

provides an academically focused afterschool and summer program for children in kindergarten through middle school

that follows the curriculum of the Columbus City Schools and helps the children overcome their obstacles to success in

school. The Dowd Education Center served 118 school age children during the 2012-2013 school year. For this school

year, 95.5% of these children improved their math skills and 95.5% improved and/or maintained their reading skills.

The Dowd Education Center also provides meals, enrichment activities, and recreation to enhance the social skills and

health.

THE DOWD EDUCATION CENTER OF THE HOMELESS FAMILIES FOUNDATION WISH LIST

Spiral notebooks, both college and wide rule Pocket folders Highlight pens Compasses 3 ring 1 ½-inch notebooks 3 hole notebook paper, both college and wide rule Small spiral notebooks to be used as journals Calculators TI 83 (can be used) Crayons Book bags (child friendly)

Scissors (blunt) Black or blue ballpoint pens Erasers Glue sticks Pencils Colored pencils Rulers Dictionaries Thesaurus Tissues

A collection box is in the Living Room.

If you wish to write a check, make it payable to St. Alban’s and write HFF School Supplies in the memo line.

Please help us with this ministry. The children need the help provided by the Education Center. These supplies are

needed to help them and are greatly appreciated.

CARING AND SHARING for July: Melissa’s House

Melissa’s House is a brick, Italianate structure on the east side of Columbus, Ohio. Melissa's House is a place where

those living with mental illness will receive the support they need and the understanding they deserve.

Melissa's House provides permanent housing for adults who are battling mental illness. It offers the comfort of a real

home — a supportive, safe environment where residents can enjoy independent living while receiving high-quality

treatment.

Melissa’s House was founded by a Columbus family whose daughter attended the Columbus School for Girls and

suffered with mental illness. They know firsthand the devastating effects mental illness can have on a family. And

they’re dedicated to helping other families like theirs find a safe and nurturing environment for their loved ones.

Melissa’s House is supported and funded by the Melissa’s House Foundation and managed by the Columbus Jewish

Foundation.

2 Cents-a-Meal Program

The 2 Cents-a-Meal Program is designed to remind us of the poor and needy at mealtimes. Two pennies per person per

meal is collected for hunger ministries as they give thanks for their own food. On a designated Sunday, four times per

year, each household brings their 2 Cents-a-Meal offering. One half is given to a local hunger ministry and the other half

is given to the Hunger Network in Ohio to further its efforts to end hunger.

St. Alban’s children made containers in which to collect the money. We are restarting this program, with St. Alban’s

children being involved in the collections. Some of you have 2 cents-a-meal containers at home. Keep filling them.

Containers are available to those who do not have them.

The remaining collections in 2014 will take place on August 31, and November 30. Please bring your money to church on

the above Sundays for the children to collect. Keep your container to refill for the next collection date.

The next collection will be August 31, 2014. Help support the children in this ministry.

Call Deb Parker (253-8549) if you have any questions.

FROM THE DEACON

Thank you for the terrific send-off you gave me on June 22! The St. Alban’s Day celebration was festive and merry. It was

good to be able to say goodbye to so many of you (sorry I missed those of you who weren’t at church that Sunday!). I

love the card with all your warm messages. Mike Bissell’s poem in five (clean) limerick stanzas is priceless! Thanks for

singing the Ode to Meribah to the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers, and for all your special gifts: a Guatemalan cross

with Jesus in a deacon’s stole(!!!), a DREAM hanger made from recycled bicycle chains, Barbara Brown Taylor’s new

book Learning to Walk in the Dark, a generous check for my deacon’s discretionary fund, and a hosta from the Memorial

Garden (which I planted in my home garden).

So many wonderful things to help me remember my good friends at St. Alban’s! Thank you for loving me, and for letting

me learn to be a deacon during my two years of residency at St. Alban’s. You were so patient with me, and so kind to

me. I am grateful to all of you. I’m sure that our paths will cross again! Until then, may the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ

be with you.

- The Rev. Meribah Mansfield

ST. ALBAN’S PASTORAL CARE

Caring for Our Own: It’s What a Church Does

In March, at a Caring for Our Own workshop led by Megory Anderson, three areas were identified as priorities at St.

Alban’s:

1. Ministry to Elders

2. Home Communion (Lay Eucharistic Visitation)

3. Connecting and Reconciling (staying in touch with new persons and those who have ceased attending)

Orientation and preparation for people helping with these areas of ministry seems appropriate and some is required.

We are fortunate to have the assistance of Deacon Coleen Smith (a certified chaplain) and our own Judy Smoot (the

founder and leader of a pastoral care program in her former church).

If you are interested in checking out these ministries, and you are confirmed in the Church, you are invited to attend a

session (It is not necessary to have attended the previous session to attend this one.) on Thursday, August 21 from 9:00

AM to 3:30 PM at St. Alban’s. Please bring a sack lunch and e-mail or call to let me know you are coming (476-5388 or

cell: 512-6335 or [email protected] ).

Copies of Bedside Manners by Katie Maxwell will be available at the church office for $10.75.

We hope you will be able to participate in the preparation for this important ministry.

Eileen Becknell, Pastoral Care

LAY VOICE (OBSERVATIONS/VIGNETTES/ETC)

News from the Pews, Q&A, Insight…It’s Up to You

This will be the place to tell us what’s on your mind, ask a question (or two) and have it answered, or offer insight into something that supports your spiritual life.

A Pilgrim’s Journal

A pilgrimage (according to Dictionary.com) is a journey, especially a


July 2014 P a g e | 10

long one, made to some sacred place as an act of religious devotion. A pilgrim’s guidebook notes that there are five

parts to the pilgrimage—preparing for the journey, the travel to the destination, the arrival and time at the destination,

the travel home, and ultimately the ways the pilgrim follows up as a consequence of the entire pilgrimage experience.

The steps are repeated over and over in our faith journeys. This is not just about going to

religious sites like Lourdes or Mecca or Jerusalem. It is sometimes reflected in making a vow to

visit an ancestral home or going to ground zero for the 9/11 Memorial. Finally, one possible

way of being a pilgrim is focusing inwardly on our spiritual life. A pilgrim may not only be

informed and formed, but transformed. The five high schoolers who were Confirmed on June 1

have been on a journey that included all the elements, from preparation through travel and

destinations. Now they are in a new place, supported by our community as they go out in the

world. They personally committed to the vows that were originally made for them when they

were baptized and this adult affirmation is a significant step we all can celebrate.

Prayer, reflection and discovery are interwoven in each pilgrim experience. The journey can be

walking a labyrinth or vacationing where we sit back to take joy in the beauty of God’s

creation. With the Holy Spirit, we are changed so that when we return we are not the same

person we were before setting out.

I’ve given a great deal of thought to pilgrimage, as I spent time walking well-worn steps in places like Canterbury,

Coventry, Salisbury, Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford. Overall, I visited almost 20 different religious sites. England

has many churches and cathedrals where pilgrims made the arduous journey on foot or even on their knees in search of

healing, enlightenment, or to collect relics (sometimes called souvenirs). My travel mode was not arduous whether in

the air, on the underground trains, or by coach. However parts of the pilgrimage are still palpable. I prayed with other

pilgrims who were speaking a variety of different languages. My reflection was internal but also I saw myself reflected in

the water of multiple Baptismal fonts that ranged from ancient to modern. The church history and alternative liturgies

were only part of the discoveries. I suspect the inward discoveries will become more apparent over time, as I apply what

I experienced to my formation work at St. Alban’s and in the diocese.

One quote from Proverbs (16:9) travels with me. “The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.” Now

I’ve returned and continue to scrutinize my experiences. I admit I’m a planner and love to make lists to make sure my

packing is complete and I’ve thought through the myriad of details. But one change is that after standing in places where

there was enormous unpredictable destruction and death—as well as beauty and spirituality—I know tangibly how the

Lord directs our collective steps away from darkness and toward the light. The Almighty’s ways are breathtakingly

magnificent. Praise be to God.
