Ad Fontes...to the Sourceby the Rev’d Jake Worley

Volume 39 Issue 10

This past summer, I was invited to attend the CANA (Convocation of Anglicans in North America) East Diocesan Convention. The keynote speaker was the Rev’d Canon

Dr. Ashley Null, someone who is well known and a great friend to St. Andrew’s. I first met Dr. Null when I was in seminary when he spoke on Thomas Cranmer’s Doctrine

of Repentance. From that moment I was a great fan of his. I have often described Dr. Null as the foremost authority on the Anglican Reformation, Cranmerian theology,

and the Prayer Book. And, while at the CANA convention, Dr. Null’s new book, “Reformation Anglicanism” was being given out to all attendees. Of course, I snatched it up! What a great read, and one I hope everyone will pick up.

In the preface we find these words, “. . . one of the clarion calls of the Reformers was ‘ad fontes,’ which can be loosely translated as ‘to the sources.’ It was a cry that reflected the Reformers’ intent to delve deeply into the text of Scripture and the interpretive traditions of the early church fathers in an effort to answer many of the same basic questions that confront the church today.”

I think the sentiment that ‘ad fontes’ conveys is exactly the ethos of St. Andrew’s. From our liturgy to the biblical preaching, the education opportunities we have to the fellowship we share in Christ, we recognize that we are always to turn to the sources: Jesus Christ, His Word, and the church fathers. The Reformers didn’t want their reforms only to be focused inward but wanted the glory and beauty of the Gospel to touch and permeate all levels and situations of society. The Reformers understood that the church is the conscience of the culture, not the mirror of it. There are pressures that are continually applied to the church that must be addressed by going back to the sources, the Word of God.

In April, just after Easter, we are going to roll out a revamped newsletter. In fact, it won’t be the standard newsletter at all. It will be a journal with a more thematic and theological approach. And we have changed the name from Messenger to Ad Fontes because we felt like that name will always remind us of the guiding principle of the Anglican Reformation and St. Andrew's. We want to continually be going back to the sources in order to walk forward with the Lord.

You’ll notice a lot that’s different with this journal. There will be a theme introduced at the beginning of the journal, then we will be looking back in our history, or the history of Christendom, or the Anglican Church to find context. Then we will examine the theme by looking at what’s happening now, both internally within St. Andrew’s and the Anglican Communion. Here we will have the calendar for everyone to see what’s happening at a glance. Then we will, in some way, look ahead to the future, examine future implications of the theme. And we will be inviting writers, thinkers, and theologians from within our Communion to help us out! We also already have several topics in the lineup including sanctifying our leisure, the relationship of theology and science, an Anglican understanding of art, and the importance of education. In the first Ad Fontes issue we are examining, appropriately, the Resurrection of Jesus and its implications and impact on our mission.

Please keep an eye out for the first issue. I’m excited about Ad Fontes. I’m hoping that you will be too.

a PariSh ProjecT for aLL ageS: MiTe Box offering wiLL aid igLeSia San MigueL by Judy Mayo

It is a pleasure to announce that this year’s Lenten mite box offering will go to benefit the Anglican mission congregation of Iglesia San Miguel, located at 3605 E. Fairfax Ave. on the southeast side of Fort Worth. We have shared many endeavors with this

congregation these past years, and we have great respect for their vicar, the Rev’d Canon Sergio Diaz. The story of San Miguel is one of visionary planning, persistent and steady prayer, and hard work through a number of years. Canon Sergio Diaz (then simply “Fr. Diaz”) came to the Diocese of Fort Worth in 1999 to plant a Spanish congregation here. (Iglesia San Juan Apostol had already been established on the south side of Fort Worth in 1985, but the Hispanic population was growing by leaps and bounds in Tarrant County, and another Hispanic congregation was needed). On June 4, 1999, a Eucharist in Spanish was first conducted at St. Michael’s Church, Richland Hills, after the regular English speaking Eucharist. Fr. Diaz was able to build up this congregation for several years, while also offering services in Spanish at the mission congregation of Ascension-St. Mark’s in Wise County on Sunday mornings. From late 2003 until June 2004, he also offered a Eucharist in Spanish on Sundays at St. Anne’s Church on Azle Ave. For a couple of years, Fr. Diaz was like an “itinerant preacher” from years past, traveling many, many, miles each Sunday to preach and celebrate Communion in Spanish at several locations for families who were very grateful to have this service offered. In June 2004, working together with Bishop Iker and the Diocese of Fort Worth (which had acquired land in the southeast part of the city), San Miguel was able to settle on a permanent piece of property at 3605 E. Fairfax Ave, just a block away from Glen Park Elementary School. On this piece of property was a small house, a three-car garage, and a storage building. Fr. Diaz and his parishioners rolled up their sleeves and worked hundreds and hundreds of hours converting the three-car garage into a church, which has space (barely) for 100 chairs. They also did lots of manual labor in the house, which was their parish house, office space, nursery and Sunday School space. In time, two modular buildings were acquired from Christ Church, Plano. These buildings also required lots of work, and the yard needed plenty of landscaping. In time, play structures were added to the yard, and lots of other upgrades were made to San Miguel, by the hard work of many hands right there at the mission. The first year or so, Fr. Diaz and his people also went house to house in the neighborhood, inviting people to services at their church. The people of San Miguel have never been afraid of persistent, grueling labor!Canon Diaz preaches the Gospel of Jesus in a dynamic way, and has a heart for reaching the unchurched with the gospel, and his mission has grown steadily these past years. San Miguel offers three services each Sunday at 8:00, 11:00, and 1:00. At large services such as Easter, they often offer services outside, since their garage

church simply cannot contain the crowds! By God’s grace, they hope and plan to build a church and a new parish house in the future. About 50% of San Miguel’s people come from the neighborhood, and the other 50% from other areas. San Miguel has done noteworthy outreach, even though many of the people of this mission congregation are quite “needy” in a number of material ways themselves. The past few years, they have fed thousands of people a good Thanksgiving dinner there on their property (with assistance from other parishes in the diocese). They have also teamed up with the Tarrant Area Food Bank to provide a free breakfast and lunch program, funded by the Food Bank, and fun daily activities for children in the neighborhood, whose parents need to work, during the summer months. They offer Sunday School, VBS, and other weekday and weekend programs. They have also started a Good News Club which meets in a fall and spring series in an after-school program at Glen Park Elementary. San Miguel’s ladies make tamales to sell each year at Christmas, to help underprivileged children in Juarez. Canon Diaz and his people have become good friends of our parish. They have brought children yearly to our VBS, along with adult and teen helpers. Veronica Renteria from San Miguel has been an excellent helper for Molly Bryant in the Alpha Sprouts children’s program. Canon Diaz has attended our Men’s Tuesday Morning Study. In past years, the people of San Miguel have also cooked for a number of special dinners at St. Andrew’s.Friends, let’s band together and put heart and soul into our Lenten mite box offering this year. If we can have a good ingathering, it will be a tremendous help to this mission which has so many pressing needs. Let’s reach out in love to these people who have shown love in Jesus’ name in practical ways to so many others in need. Remember the example of the poor widow who put heart and soul into her offering. (Mark 12:41-44) The ingathering of the mite box offering will be on Palm Sunday, April 14. Mite boxes may be picked up at church. If you wish to write a check, make it payable to St. Andrew’s, noted “mite box offering.” Your part CAN and WILL make a difference.

Where does the time go? Was it not but a few months ago we were celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the season of Advent? And a month later celebrating the New Year with resolutions for a new beginning, the Feast of the Epiphany, to follow Christ, the True Light. And now, a few months later, Lent, a season to which I refer as a season of second chances, a time of reflection on one’s self and life. It is at such a time as this I find myself taking a spiritual and moral inventory. Have I fallen short with those New Year’s resolutions and promises? Am I self-indulgent, or am I self-disciplined? Is it all about me or Him? Am I a “wise” woman following the LIGHT OF THE WORLD or the dim light of man? We keep the season of Lent every year as we do the season of Advent and the Feast of Epiphany, and for certain, every Christmas I shall have my “Christmas fit,” momentarily losing sight of the true meaning of Christmas. Every New Year I shall make and break the same resolutions made the previous year, and every Lent I shall shamefully acknowledge that I am not perfect. Yes, we are all frail, weak creatures of flesh, subject to temptation. Although we may be truly sorry for our sins and earnestly seek God’s forgiveness and the grace to change our lives, the probability that we will need to do it again next year is 100%.Have you ever heard someone say, “I just do not like the way I feel, I need to make some changes.”? Generally, a statement such as this relates to one’s general health either physical or spiritual. How are you feeling? What needs changing with your “general health”? At such a time as this, Lent is the time to take a good look at ourselves and decide whether we are living by the standards of the Kingdom of God to which we have repeatedly committed ourselves, or not. It’s a time to look in the mirror of spiritual and moral objectivity and be honest with ourselves and with God. There is no reason to beat oneself up over all of this. We know there is only ONE perfect person, Jesus Christ, so to admit that we are not perfect is a sound argument. But all of us are people who “have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and have done those things which we ought not to have done.” At the time of this writing it is what is referred to as Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. It is also known as Mardi Gras or

woMen’S MiniSTry: aT Such a TiMe aS ThiS...LenTby Marsland Moncrief

Fat Tuesday. It is a day when people eat all they want of everything and anything as it is the last opportunity prior to the long fasting period of Lent. For forty days one is to fast, giving up something they enjoy. Often the sacrifice is food or drink related: sugar, chocolate, alcohol, diet cokes...What one gives up is an individual’s choice, but should be something that is a real sacrifice. What are you giving up? Cell phone…texting, the urge to look at your cell phone every minute? A short temper/impatience? What behaviors do you need to give up? One friend gave up the urge to read every catalogue that came in her mailbox. Upon arrival she promptly placed them in the trash.Forty days is not a long time unless you are in a desert wandering around. So, you have had to switch from cabernet sauvignon to cranberry juice from now until Easter, or go hungry two days out of 365 skipping meals on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Truthfully, is this too much to ask considering the sacrifice our Lord has made for us? Are you self-indulgent or self-disciplined? Are you unable to deny

yourself anything unless you are on a diet or under doctor’s orders? When was the last time you simply told yourself “No” when there was something you craved, something that wasn’t bad and wouldn’t hurt you, but that you just need? What are you hungry for? Money? Clothes? Toys? Security? Good things to eat and drink? Do you have a hunger for God? Earlier this year, and on a lighter side, during the Max Lucado study of “Anxious for Nothing”, the Thursday Morning Women’s Bible study viewed a short Bob Newhart segment entitled “Stop It”! Comedian Newhart portrayed a psychologist who after listening to the behavioral problems of an anxious young woman concluded the session with just three little words: “Just Stop It”! God will help you say “No” or to “just stop it” if we only turn to him and ask him. As Paul said to the people in Corinth, “Now is the acceptable time.” At such a time as this, Lent can be the beginning of a changed life from where you are to where Christ wants you to be. God does have a purpose for our lives, and He has a plan. Please join the Thursday Morning Women’s Bible Study for Tony Evan’s Pathways, From Providence to Purpose (Lessons from Esther) March 7-April 25. God selected Esther for a particular purpose at a particular time. And He has a plan for you too. On this path you will discover in what ways you too have been created for God’s purpose and have been placed in your own spectacular story, like the royal Esther, for such a time as this.

Lines of Thought for LentLet me keep Lent. Let me not kneel and pray, Forgo some trifle every day; Fast and take SacramentAnd then lend tongue to slander, Hold ancient grudge;Deny the very Lord whom I would glorify.Let me keep Lent. Let my heart grow in grace;Let Thy light shine…Till my illumined faceWill be a testament Read by all men:That hate is buried; Self crucified: newborn theSpirit shall rise On Easter morn.-Unknown (Joyous Pursuits, Drane Kendall Haw)

“And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?”Esther 4:14

THE PRAYER FOR ELECTING A NEW BISHOP

Almighty God, who by thy Son Jesus Christ didst give thy holy Apostles many excellent gifts, and didst charge them to feed thy flock; we humbly request thy favor and blessing as we seek a new bishop and defender of the faith for the Diocese of Fort Worth. In thy good time, bring us a good shepherd who will diligently preach thy Word, and duly administer the godly discipline thereof, that we and all thy people may obediently follow the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE PRAYER FOR THE COURTS

ALMIGHTY God, who sittest in the throne judging right; We humbly beseech thee to bless the courts of justice, the magistrates in all this land, and the Supreme Court of Texas; and give unto them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that they may discern the truth, and impartially administer the law in the fear of thee alone; we beseech thee also to pour out thy grace upon our diocesan attorney, Scott Brister; through thy Son who shall come to be our Judge, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
