FROM THE INTERIM PASTOR’S STUDY
WISDOM FROM THE INNOCENCE
OF CHILDREN
I am the way, the truth and the life.
Children are Born Innocent
by Jan Hunt
No one comes to the God except through me. ( John 14:6).
Just what does the text, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me,” mean to each of us?
It is a text I always struggled with as I had frequently been led to understand it as the only way to eternal life
with God was to be Christian, as if we as Christians had been given our own private pathway to eternal life.
Since I truly felt that God created all people, loves every one of us and wants us to live together in
community; then perhaps God does speak to us in different ways and in different voices. I was encouraged
along this path in seminary when I came to understand that the first followers of Jesus, those who were
there before there was a church, were originally referred to as followers of “The Way” or followers of the
teachings of Jesus’ teachings, teachings which turned the status quo upside down and encouraged a total
change in lifestyle. And so following Jesus seems to be truly more about lifestyle and outlook change than a
single set of beliefs and it was this transformation. In reflecting on this I came to understand the text more
as “following the way of Jesus” rather than understanding it simply as following or believing in the “person of
Jesus.”
A few years ago I ran across this story, in Sojourners magazine, about Billy Graham, one of the world’s great
evangelists. The article described a time when Dr. Graham was speaking at Harvard University, which
surprisingly echoes this understanding of that same text.
He had spoken to a huge crowd of student followers many of whom had waited up all night to
get a seat. After giving a very moving sermon, he asked for questions. One young believer
stood up and asked this question: “Since Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, and
no man cometh to the Father except through me,’ doesn’t that mean that people from other
religions-Jews and the rest-are going to hell?” Dr. Graham replied, “I am sure glad that God is
the judge of people’s hearts and not me! And I trust God to decide those questions justly and
mercifully.” The student was disappointed and pressed further, “Well, what do you think God
will decide?” Graham demurred, “Well God doesn’t really ask my advice on those matters.”
Another questioner started again, “Well, what about those who aren’t even monotheists-like
Buddhists?” Graham replied, “You know I’ve been to some Buddhist countries, and so many of
the people I’ve met seem to live more like Christ than too many of the Christians I’ve seen.”
Based on this I have now come to realize that this understanding is one idea that both we and our more
fundamentalist Christian brothers and sisters can agree.
What a nice surprise.
Have a blessed day,
Pastor Alan
What do you see when you look into the eyes of a newborn?
When I first looked into the eyes of my son, I saw trustfulness, curiosity and joyfulness. I saw no deviousness, meanness or
selfishness. In that instant it became clear to me that if he ever acted in a devious, mean, or selfish way, his behavior would
have been created by circumstances, not by him. In that instant, I knew what a great responsibility I had to honor and protect
his innocence and joy in life. Children are born innocent. They want only to be loved, to learn, and to contribute. Those
parents who are not able to appreciate this truth, miss what should be the most precious moment of their life. They cannot
trust their child - they instead suspect him of being somehow flawed and requiring constant correction. The emphasis is on
fixing something, not on enjoying and learning about this new person. The focus, from that point on, is on the child's
behavior, not on the parent-child connection. A parent's attitude is absolutely critical in determining the kind of relationship
they will have with their child. I find nothing sadder than seeing a parent who has somehow missed seeing their child's basic
sweetness and good intentions, and thus believes that punishment is necessary to set him on the right path. This parent is
always watchful, looking for ways to correct the child, which stifles his natural exuberance. This kind of suspiciousness is
self-fulfilling - the child who is punished responds emotionally - as does any other person - with anger and fantasies of
revenge, and physiologically with a burst of the stress hormone cortisol. The parent then feels justified in continuing and
even escalating the punishments. The child is from then on seen as potential trouble - as the enemy. The parent who is
fortunate enough to see in his newborn's eyes only love, curiosity, and joy, will continue to trust and enjoy their child. Instead
of looking for "misbehavior", this parent looks for ways to connect and to bring joy into their child's life. This attitude is also
self-fulfilling, because love begets love. The child responds to being loved and trusted as we all do - by loving and trusting in
return. What takes place at the moment a parent first looks into their child's eyes sets the stage for a lifetime of joyful
connection, or a lifetime of struggle. It sets the stage for a rewarding relationship of trust and connection, or a battle between
adversaries. This first meeting carries the seeds of years of happiness or misery. For those who can see their newborn's
innocence and pure intentions, parenting may be challenging at times, but it is never a burden. Look closely at this new
being. Learn from him how delightful and simple life is meant to be. It's just an instant of time, but once this truth is fully
grasped, it lasts forever.

Hello Brockport Food Shelf Supporters!
Spring has finally arrived much to everyone’s relief. What a glorious feeling to find
daffodils blooming!
During the month of March, the Food Shelf’s team of hard-working volunteers served 163 families
including 119 children, 229 adults, and 41 senior citizens.
As happens every March, the community responded to the Scouting for Food Drive with great
generosity. After collecting all the bags on Saturday, March 21, a group of Scouts brought 1,584
pounds of food to the Food Shelf where our volunteers received, sorted, and shelved them. Thanks
to each of you and all the Scouts who participated in this event.
In addition we received over 1,600 pounds of food from individuals, churches and other groups
during the month. This is such a great help as we strive to keep our shelves stocked with healthy
food. Your monetary donations are also much appreciated as we buy many perishable items each
week. We are also able to buy items from the Foodlink inventory at greatly reduced prices.
For the month of May, we could again use donations of CEREAL and any kind of SOUP.
As always, we appreciate any and all donations of food items. We ask only that the date on
non-perishable food be not more than one year past the current date, i.e. anything with a date of
May 2014 forward is acceptable. Personal care and paper items are also gratefully received.
Please note that we have recently changed our hours. We are now open 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2
p.m. - 6 p.m. each of the first four Thursdays of the month. We are closed on any fifth Thursday in
a month which means we will NOT be open on April 30th.
Remember that if you know of anyone who needs help with food, please have them call us at
637-8169. Someone will either answer the call or, if they leave a message, the call will be returned,
usually within an hour or two. We can help… and we do deliver to those who are
handicapped or without transportation.

WHERE IS YOUR CITY?
TRANSITIONS:
The ultimate challenge of Jesus’ ministry was to go to the city, the
city of Jerusalem. This city, which was the center of education,
religion, and politics, was also the place where corruption and
crimes abounded. Yet, Jesus went there anyway. Following Jesus
to the city was a risky business. Many would-be followers
dropped out when they saw this ultimate danger. What will it require of us to move to the city? I ask this question whenever I find
myself wanting to settle down in the comfort of material wellbeing. God may not ask us to physically move to the city, but God
does require that we reach out to hurting people with the gospel,
wherever they might be.

“Why do They Call It Easter?”
Saturday, May 16, 2015
During the Children's Message on Easter, Sunday one of the kids asked, “Why do they call it Easter?” Only
a partial answer is available in De Ratione Temporum (The Reckoning of Time) by the Venerable Bede, a monk
who lived in northern England and died in 735. “In olden time the English people . . . calculated their months
according to the course of the moon. April [was called] Eosturmonath, which is now translated 'Paschal month,'
and which was once called after a goddess of theirs called Eostre, in whose honor feasts were celebrated in that
month. Now they designate the Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honored
name of the old observance.” What this does not say is when the change took place or why the Christians
decided to retain the old name.

German Ostern likely has a similar history. Paschal, only an adjective in English, derives through Latin
Pascha from Greek Πάσχα which, confusingly, refers both to Passover and Easter. Both the languages of

The Elevator Is Working!
After months of delay, the elevator was repaired in time for Easter. Hallelujah! Our Cheney Handi Lift was
built in 1986, installed shortly after that. There are four 4” hard rubber wheels moving in steel channels on
the north wall which keep the lift level. One of them broke into small pieces, causing the lift to tilt and
become inoperable. Two other wheels were cracked and could have broken at any time. It was decided to
replace all four wheels.
Since the manufacturer is out of business, obtaining replacement wheels was a long and expensive process.
Each wheel cost $350.00. Accessing the channels to replace the wheels involved cutting holes in the
channels, which had to be welded shut.
The final cost was $5,488.19, which has been paid from Major Maintenance. Our insurance company
regards the breaking of the wheels as normal wear and tear, and will not cover any of the cost.
Thanks to those who made special contributions to Major Maintenance. Additional
contributions to meet the on going needs of this fund are always welcome.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When
Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his
mother, “Woman, behold thy son!” Then saith
he to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And
from that hour that disciple took her unto his
own home. (John 19:25-27)

Beauty Causes People To Take Notice of Your Church.
Spring is clean up time and healthy, growing churches always find the time to take care of
their church building and grounds. Why? Because this is often the first encounter and impression many
people will have of the congregation and we all know how important a first impression can be.
All of us love beauty and are moved by beauty. Beautiful landscaping and well cared for flowers and
shrubbery are important in and of itself for beauty’s sake and by investing in this at our churches, we also
become co-creators with God. But beautifying the church is also a form of welcome and outreach. The
messages that attractive landscaping send out are that something is happening at this church and these
people appreciate how their church looks to others and to God. But perhaps equally as important,
beautifying the church also causes people to stop and take notice of a place they may have blindly passed
by for months or perhaps even years. Beautifying the church is not limited to flowers and landscaping.
The church sign may need to be revisited and freshened up and windows need to be washed to say
nothing of the curtains that hang in them on the inside of the church. The wood surfaces of the building
often need to be scraped or even painted and the front walk might be crumbling. All of these things make
a statement of what this church means to us.
Since two pair of eyes are always better than one and three or four are better yet, it is always timely for
each one of us, when we have a moment, to do a “visitor walk through” of the church grounds and the
facility looking around as though you were a first time visitor looking at the church as some place you
might like to be apart of. Jot down note about areas which might benefit from some sprucing up and then
offer to help get it done. That might be all it takes to get passerby to decide to stop in some Sunday.
Adapted from: Randy Hammer, Practical Hospitality: 52 Ways to Ignite Your Congregation, 2009.
John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay
down one’s life for his friends.”
There is no higher expression of love then to give up your
very life – to be willing to leave family and friends behind,
knowing death is immanent. To the many brave heroes who
have gone before, thank you for
your sacrifice of love.

At Citi-Wide GRCC Faith in Action Dinner
Priscilla Baglio has been selected as the honoree from Brockport Presbyterian
Church to be recognized at the 24th Annual Greater Rochester Community of Churches Faith in Action Dinner
on Tuesday evening, June 2. She was selected for her tireless service to others here in our congregation as
well as throughout the entire region in the western part of Monroe County.
The dinner will be held at the Burgundy Basin Inn in Bushnell’s Basin off 490E and generally draws 450-500

least one table for Brockport Presbyterian to be there to support Priscilla. Anyone interested should see
Connie to make a dinner selection and reservation by May 13. We expect there will be several carpools going
from here and also there is also a small amount of scholarship money available in the event someone
desiring to go needs assistance. In the event you have any questions see either Connie or Pastor Alan.

"Calamities can
bring growth and enlightenment," said the Master.
And he explained it thus:
"Each day a bird would shelter in the withered
branches of a tree that stood in the middle of a
vast deserted plain. One day a whirlwind uprooted
the tree, forcing the poor bird to fly a hundred
miles in search of shelter -- till it finally came to a
forest of fruit-laden trees."
And he concluded: "If the withered tree had
survived, nothing would have induced the bird to
give up its security and fly."
Anthony de Mello, SJ
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am
I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but
sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your
angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to
me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,
and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come
back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard
and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"
