The Rector Thinks Out Loud...
About Prayer, and the Lord’s Prayer, in particular...
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever. Amen.
Prayer. How many times have we heard that word used? How many
times have we done it – prayed? Prayer is certainly a word that is
familiar to us all, yet it tends to have many different meanings and
many different forms of expression depending, of course, on to whom
you are talking. However you look at it, prayer is certainly a word that
comes up whenever Christianity is discussed. And, shouldn’t that be
the case? Don’t most of us think that prayer is a part of being Christian?
Yet, how many of us have really truly reflected on the meaning of prayer?
First of all, I think we need to realize that prayer, above all else, is
simply just conversation with God. As Ann and Barry Ulanov say it,
prayer “is the primary speech of the true self to the true God.” And,
in this conversation with God, we are to enter into it with our whole
self. When we talk about prayer in its broadest sense we are using a
word to describe our whole orientation. Prayer, then, is an expression

(Infants to 3 yrs.)
Gregg House: While infants and toddlers are welcome in church, please know that we have a loving and safe Nursery
in Gregg House available from 8:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m. every Sunday.
Children’s Chapel
Children’s Chapel is offered at both the 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. worship services. All children who wish to attend Children’s
Chapel are asked to come to the Church with their parents, family members, or friends and gather in the back pew
with our Chapel leaders. Children’s Activity Sheets are available at the back entrance for children as they wait. When
the church bell is rung, 3 year olds through 2nd Graders join the cross procession as it makes its way down the center
aisle. The children together with the All Saints’ Chapel Ministers proceed out of the church to the Chapel of the Holy
Spirit which is located downstairs in the Gregg House. The children return to church during the passing of The Peace
and are reunited with their families and friends. For more information concerning the Nursery or Children’s Chapel,
please contact the Rev. Cynthia Caruso at 476-3589, ext. 110 or The Rev. Mike Adams 476-3589, ext. 104.
Children at Communion
The tradition of the Episcopal Church is to welcome all who are baptized to receive communion – no matter what
age! Parents should, of course, be responsible for determining how and when their child receives the bread and the
wine that is offered. Children may receive the bread in their hands, eat the wafer, and then sip the wine from the
chalice when it’s offered; or children may receive the bread in their hands and then dip the wafer (“intinction”) into the
wine (taking care not to dip their fingers in the wine); or children may receive “in one kind” taking only the bread in
their hands and then crossing their arms over their chest when the chalice passes indicating they are not receiving
the wine; or children may cross their arms in front of their chests to receive a blessing. We invite all children to join
us at the altar rail at communion time – even if not receiving the bread or wine. Children will be discussing in their
Sunday Morning programs the symbols and the meaning of the Eucharistic Meal. The clergy are happy to answer
any questions you may have regarding your child and communion.
Sunday School
[ PreSchool - 2nd Grade 10:30 a.m.]
Children’ Wing (Upstairs North, Gregg House)
The students in Godly Play for Pre-K (4-year olds) and Kindergarten, and the
students in Godly Play for 1st and 2nd Grades, have begun wandering in the desert
this month. Teachers will tell the story of The Great Family, The Exodus,
The Ten Commandments, and The Ark of the Covenant.
Godly Play stories are told slowly, gently, and with props; the questions asked after the
stories are not yes/no questions, but open-ended questions. Every story ends with an
invitation, “I wonder...” There are no wrong answers. Godly Play is a curriculum that
everyone loves—students, teachers, and parents. If you would like to learn how to teach
this Montessori-based curriculum, tell Madre Cynthia. The trainings are superb!
BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
October 5th, 12:45 p.m. - On All Saints' Lawn
Immediately after 11:30 service bring your pets. Or, bring your proxy teddy bear. We will bless
them all. Bring a big ol’ bag of dog or cat food for us to donate to the animal shelter. Our animal
blessing is in honor of St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, whose feast day is October 4th.
Bring your animal or bring a picnic and hang out after church and watch the excitement!

SUNDAY MORNINGS:
High School students have begun the school year, listenting to podcasts, and then
discussing how particular current events tie into the students’— and teachers’—
spiritual lives. What do we do when we hear about injustice? Anything? Nothing?
Sometimes the wrong thing? Mr. Jonathan Lustri and Mr. Pierce Burns are the
leaders of this class. If you are in grades 9-12, you are invited to commit to 4 weeks
of Sunday school, to come and see, and to let others get to know you.
You may make a difference is another student’s life. Take the challenge!
Students in Grades 6-8 are beginning Journey to Adulthood, led by
Mr. Silvestre Silvas, Ms. Olivia Pope and Ms. Betsy Sammen.
This month students are learning about self, who they are, how they feel, and
can they be honest about both of those things. Lots of activities enhance the
learning, which counts on relationships — as does all Christian community.
EPISCOPAL YOUTH COMMUNITY:
EYC for grades 6-8 will be led by Ms. Olivia Pope, an experienced and energetic
youth leader. Students will not be bored! Stay tuned for activities. Be prepared to
have fun, and in the fun, find God.
ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH AND THE FRONT PORCH
WILL HOST THE SECOND GATHERING FOR HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS AT 5:00-6:30 PM ON
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19TH
On October 19th, we will host the second gathering of our new program for high school
students, The Window. Our goal with this meet-up is to create a safe space for young people
to be uncomfortable: a place where they’d be proud to invite their friends, and one where
they’re not treated as objects or as projects. Bringing local musicians, artists, comedians,
athletes, business leaders, and more to facilitate conversations about our confusing world,
The Window hopes to open up the world young people live in—and to allow them to explore
it from the bottom up, not top down. Juiceland will provide refreshments.

Loaves & Fishes: Summer Diary
— Josephine Sherfy
Loaves & Fishes wishes to offer special recognition and unlimited thanks to our longtime volunteer, BILLY
SCHULTZ, for his fantastic design and management of our data base system. His very professional record of
each of our visitor assistance applicants and the beneﬁts awarded their needs is documented into a permanent
record reference. Billy, we couldn’t do it without you!
Thanks to all our “saints” who have supported Loaves & Fishes through the summer with ﬁnancial donations
that keep utilities going and roofs overhead for many families. Just a small check from Loaves & Fishes to the
City of Austin for a utility payment support or to an apartment rental company can make a huge difference while
someone waits for a paycheck to come or getting the next job. You make possible those 31 day Austin Metro
passes needed by those hunting for a job or going for an interview. You make possible those HEB vouchers
for those who need support for pharmacy items and fresh dairy products.
Austin and Travis County has wonderful food pantry outlets throughout the area that offer free fresh fruits and
veggies as well as canned goods items. Frozen food trucks rotate to Austin Community Centers on a scheduled
delivery program. We provide those who come to Loaves & Fishes lists of food pantry source outlets. Micah 6
is a very important part of Austin’s food chain source for those who need assistance.
Thanks to those “saints” who have made contributions of bar soap and razors! What feels better on a hot
summer day than a shower and your very own bar of soap? And to those who remember to bring us your hotel
bath hygiene goodies, we sing “Praise and Hallelujah”. Thanks for the anonymous hygiene bags from “Hilton
Honors”. Our very community minded volunteer, MICHELLE CARLSON, has now completed over 200 voter
registrations. Volunteer, JESSICA HASKINS, has again made possible free ﬂu shots from Walgreens. We have
approximately 50 applicants each Tuesday. An average of 8 to 10 of our assistance applicants beneﬁt with blood
pressure checks or other medical problems by visiting with our new free Med Team provided each Tuesday.
Loaves & Fishes beneﬁts greatly from the SUPPORT from our volunteer faithfuls who come each Tuesday,
loving their participation and sharing comradeship. Volunteer? CALL RUTH DAVIES - 512- 517-0576.

OCTOBER FOOD CHALLENGE: CANNED BEANS & CANNED MEAT
FOOD PANTRY UPDATE: Last month the pantry served 49,650 pounds of food to 1655 shoppers.Thanks
to the 293 volunteers who provided almost 1000 hours of service. New volunteer opportunities include
drivers for Food Rescue (Thursdays & Fridays), volunteers to host in the great hall (Thursday evenings and
Saturday mornings), and data entry (both during pantry openings and at convenience at home).
NEW OUTREACH Activities focused on Street Youth Support:
Micah 6 cook team volunteers are still needed for the preparation of Sunday supper meals for the homeless
youth. Coordinators and advisors are needed as well. Please contact Liz Nash at [email protected]
if you might be interested in cooking or otherwise helping out with this ministry.

Curate’s Corner
— The Rev. Cynthia Caruso
The last Sunday of September I preached at the Student Center service. I had pondered the Gospel where the
chief priests ask Jesus if he is the Messiah, and he asks them if the baptism of John was of God or man. Afraid
to admit they thought John was not of God, they wussed out, saying, “We don’t know.”
It was those three words that kept coming back to me, “We don’t know.” For the enemies of Jesus, that day,
the words were really a lie. They “knew” very well that John was a charlatan, although of course, they were
wrong. But most of the time, “I don’t know,” is an honest and inviting response. It is a response that allows
others to admit that they don’t know. It is a response that allows us to wonder, to open ourselves to
possibilities. Not knowing allows a place for the Spirit to reveal itself to us.
In a society that thinks we ought to know, where many people think they do know, it takes courage to say, “I
don’t know.” But I like those words more and more as I see how many times what seems so right to me, is
not right for someone else. When I see that my good thing—a law to preserve forests, for example—is bad
for the lumberjacks who are suddenly unemployed.
I remember when “I don’t know” was the beginning of the most comforting words I had heard after the death
of my husband, when I was desperately trying to figure out what exactly had happened to Jack after he died.
I was attending the Jewish version of Brown Bag Theology at the temple in downtown San Antonio one
summer, with a Jewish colleague. There were about 30 people there, eating lunch and discussing
Maimonides’ instructions about caring for the dead. It was the smartest group of people I had ever been
around, wrestling with the text and arguing among themselves, led by a young rabbi.
After several weeks of just listening, I asked the rabbi, “What do you think happens after someone dies?” He
was flustered. He knew I was Christian. He did not look at me as he asked if I meant him, or Jews in general.
In general, I replied.
“Well, some Jews think we live on in our good deeds. Some think we live on in our families.” I thought of all
the hospital wings named for Jewish benefactors. And then he said those comfortable words.
“We don’t know what happens when a person dies,” he said, looking at me for the first time. “But we know
it is good.”
It was the perfect answer.
See you Sunday!

so much more than a concert
www.frontporchaustin.org
The non-profit mission of All Saints’, The Front Porch, has gathered some early momentum during the opening month of our
fall season. As September closes, our numbers are rising, and in October we are excited to curate more great music and
engaging dialogue for our growing community. This month, there will be three main events that you won’t want to miss.
Unplugged on the Front Porch: October 16th - Mother Falcon.
We will once again bring Mother Falcon to the All Saints’ Sanctuary
for our concert series, Unplugged on the Front Porch October 16th
from 7-9 pm. Interested in fostering a respectful listening experience
between audience and musicians, you can bet that Austin’s best known
indie-rock orchestra will bring in an unforgettable show. Plus, it will
be worth coming just to see how we manage to fit all 19 members
onto our stage.
Nov. 20th: Michael Fracasso
Dec. 18th: Sara Hickman
Oct. 19th: The WINDOW is a new program for High School students. See page 5 for more details.
PARABLE 5:30-7:00 p.m. Sunday, October 26th, at Scholz Garten
1607 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX
PARABLE, The Front Porch’s pub church. This month we welcome writer Ellen Sweets for a
conversation with NPR’s John Burnett about Austin and race. Our spacious room at Scholz Garten
handled the September crowd quite nicely, and its corner stage is the perfect spot for Dave Madden and
his friends to play great music. We are delighted to see so many folks interested in this church in the
public square.
As our fall season continues, The Front Porch crew remains incredibly grateful to the support offered us
by the All Saints’ community. Without your dedication and kindness, none of our work would be possible.
We hope you will enjoy our programs in October!
If you want to help us build community and transform lives, please donate at: www.frontporchaustin.org

Peter Rollins
will be at All Saints’ on
December 5,6,& 7
Peter Rollins is a provocative writer, lecturer, storyteller and public speaker who has gained an
international reputation for overturning traditional notions of religion and forming “churches” that
preach the Good News that we can’t be satisfied, that life is difficult, and that we don’t know the
secret. Challenging the idea that faith concerns questions relating to belief Peter shows that an
incendiary and irreligious reading of Christianity is possible: one that destroys the distinction
between sacred and secular, blurs the lines between theism and atheism and sets aside
questions regarding life after death to explore the possibility of a life before death. This approach
has been christened “pyrotheology,” and aims at burning up the basic assumptions that both
critics and advocates of religion hold concerning the life of faith. Peter gained his higher education
from Queens University, Belfast and has earned degrees (with distinction) in Scholastic
Philosophy (BA Hons), Political Theory (MA) and Post-Structural thought (PhD). He is the author
of numerous books, including Insurrection: To Believe is Human; to Doubt, Divine and
The Idolatry of God: Breaking our Addiction to Certainty and Satisfaction.
He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, currently lives in New York.

The Bailey Lecture Series is the direct result of endowment funds given by the parishioners of All Saints’ Church to honor the
many years of outstanding service of The Rt. Rev. Scott Field Bailey to All Saints’ as Rector from 1951-1961 and then as Bishop
of the Diocese of West Texas from 1977 until his retirement in 1987. Each year this endowment fund is used to promote and
bring in well-known speakers to All Saints’ and offer their insights and expertise to the parish and the community at no charge.
The Rt. Rev. Scott Field Bailey died in San Antonio on April 9, 2005. He helped people realize the love of God within themselves
and the love that God has for all people. It is with a special pride that we at All Saints’ Episcopal Church honor him with the
Bailey Lecture Series.
Anyone interested in being part of a low-key, fun group focusing on environmental activities
that would beneﬁt our church and our fellow parishioners is welcome. We presently meet on
the third Wednesday, and our next meeting is October 15th, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., at Carolyn
Croom’s house. Please contact Carolyn Croom at [email protected] or
512-459-8063 for directions to Carolyn’s house.

ONE DAY DISCOVERY CLASS - OCTOBER 18th
with The Rev. Mike Adams,The Rev. A. Phillips Nazro & The Rev. Cynthia Caruso
“What Does it Mean to Be an Episcopalian?”
Realizing that for many it is impossible to make once a week Discovery Classes, we are offering a one
day opportunity! Father Mike, Father Phil, and Madre Cynthia will conduct a “One Day Discovery Class”
for anyone interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church on Saturday, October 19th! This one
day class is designed for newcomers, the curious, and those Episcopalians who would like a “refresher
course.” It’s also a great occasion to bring a friend or relative who’s been “wondering” about the Episcopal
Church. We’ll gather at 8:30 a.m. and begin our Day of Discovery at 9:00 a.m. We’ll have lunch together
and end at 3:30 p.m. If interested, please contact Marvin Jones at 512-476-3589, ext. 107, or email him
at [email protected]. For more information, contact Fr. Mike at
[email protected]
Importantly, the Class will serve as the required instruction for Confirmation or Reception into the
Episcopal Church (one is “Received” if one has already been Confirmed in another Church). However,
one need not be Confirmed or Received if attending the class. Please prayerfully consider if it’s time to be
confirmed or received – or as some would say, “become an official Episcopalian.”
The Rt. Rev. Don Wimberly will be at All Saints’ Sunday, November 2, 2014 at a 10:00 a.m. service.
(NOTE: No 9:00 and 11:30 services that Sunday).
Our Clergy would be glad to talk with you or anyone about the Sacrament of Confirmation and Reception.
SAINTS ON CALL! SAINTS ON CALL! SAINTS ON CALL!
At least once a month Saints On Call provides one or several meals to a parishioner who is just home from the
hospital or who has had a death in the family. If you’ve ever lived in a small town or belonged to a very small
church, where everybody knows everybody, that’s the kind of thing that just happens without much coordination.
But in a city the size of Austin and a church whose membership is spread from Buda to Round Rock, it usually
doesn’t happen spontaneously. However, Saints On Call has a list of people who have indicated a willingness to
cook a meal and deliver it to a fellow parishioner in need. Using this list, the Saints On Call captain of the week
makes the necessary phone calls to find someone who lives near the parishioner to take care of meal
preparation and delivery. This same offer also pertains to other needs, such as rides to medical or other
appointments at those times when your usual resources seem to be out of pocket. If you would like to be called
upon occasionally to help with this vital part of the Saints On Call ministry, please contact:
Joyce Edwinson at 512-288-0754 or Milton Bell at 512-454-2395

EPISCOPAL DAY SCHOOL
The Episcopal Student Center
Serving Colleges and Universities in the Austin Area
All Saints’ Family,
I am thrilled to share with you the news of
an upcoming celebration in which you will
play an integral role. The 2014-15 school
year marks 115 years of continuous ministry
at the Episcopal Student Center! This is a
remarkable milestone in the life of any faith
community, and particularly for all those
located on the All Saints’ property. We are
continually grateful for the many ways in
which the ministries of the Day School,
Parish, and Student Center families enhance
one another.
To honor this milestone, and prepare for
many more years to come, we are well into
plans for a weekend long celebration,
February 27, 28, and March 1, 2015. We’ll
begin on Friday with a Cocktail Welcome
Reception in the Student Center, offering an
opportunity to welcome home alums and
those who haven’t been within our walls for
many years. Saturday we will host a dinner
and Silent Auction at St. David’s Episcopal
Church, in an effort to raise $115,000 for
scholarship for students. All money raised
will be used to ensure all students are able
to participate in trips, retreats, pilgrimages,
and other opportunities for spiritual growth.
Our capstone event for the weekend will be
a Eucharist and Re-dedication of the ministry
with Bishop Doyle on Sunday evening at
5PM in the main sanctuary. All Saints’ will
have an important role to play in this
liturgical celebration, so I hope you will plan
to join us!
The All Saints’ Parish family is an integral
part of our narrative as a Student Center.
Please know you are most cordially invited
and welcome to attend all events. Our
celebration would not be the same without
each of you!

Hey, What’s Going On Over There At The Day School?
Our Annual Homebuilding Project with Kindergarten students and their parents.
Sunday, October 5th is Episcopal Schools Celebration across the
United States. We hope that you will join us at the 9:00 service to honor
all those who have supported this school and other Episcopal schools
across the nation. Our in-store Book Fair at the Barnes and Noble on
Brody Lane is Friday, October 24th through Sunday, October 26th. You
can shop on-line October 25th – November 1st. The School will receive
a portion of your sales; just remember to tell them that you are part of the
All Saints’ Episcopal Day School, Austin book fair.
The Development Committee is finalizing plans for our Annual Fund
Drive, which will kick-off later this month. Our goal always, is to have
100% of the current families contribute to this fund. Last year 97% of
the families made a contribution and 100% of the Board of Trustees and
Faculty contributed. Many of you supported the Day School also by
participating in our drive and we are very grateful to you.
Our Fall Festival will be held on Saturday, October 25th. In addition to
the great food from P. Terry’s and dessert from Kona Ice, the students
will enjoy the inflatable slide, face and hair painting, and the prize walk.
Do you know someone who might be interested in touring the Day
School? Please invite them to join us on Wednesday, October 15th at
9:00 a.m. We will start by attending Chapel and then will tour the School

PROFILES OF PARISHIONERS:
A Q&A SESSION WITH VALERIE WENGER
Valerie Wenger
In an effort to promote fellowship and community, this is the fifth in a continuing series of interviews with
members of All Saints’ Episcopal Church. This month’s interview was conducted by John Stephen Taylor
with Valerie Wenger during September 2014.
Ms. Wenger was born and reared as a Methodist in San Antonio, went to college in Virginia, and came back
to Austin for trade school. She has lived in Austin since 1988 and has been a parishioner at ASEC since 1989.
As a lawyer in Austin she spent twelve years in private practice, then worked in the non-profit world for two
years, and has been a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice for 11 years.
John Stephen Taylor (“JST”): How did you come to be a member of All Saints’ Episcopal Church?
Valerie Wenger (“VW”): A law school friend invited me to ASEC on Palm Sunday 1984. When I moved back to
Austin (from San Antonio and Dallas) I tried on other churches, but none of them measured up to All Saints'.
JST: How do you pray?
VW: Haphazardly and on an as-needed basis. I drive past St. David's Trinity Center on my way to work, so I pray
for their clients, give thanks for all of my blessings, etc. When people or situations pop into my head I pray for
their needs, or offer prayers of thanksgiving. When I want to be more focused, I use the prayers at the back of
the Book of Common Prayer.
JST: If you could stage a dinner party with three other people -- living or dead -- who would they be?
VW: Elizabeth I, Winston Churchill, and Abraham Lincoln.
JST: What questions might you ask them?
VW: How in the world did you get through your tough times?
JST: What's your definition of wisdom and how have you acquired it?
VW: Beer or wine?
JST: Who do you most admire?
VW: That's a tough one. Everyone who has soldiered through (or is soldiering through) tough times. And the
parents of my Goddaughters, who are rearing wonderful children.
JST: What do you regard as your greatest accomplishment? Your greatest strength?
VW: Another tough one. Perhaps it was planning for and traveling alone in Vietnam for a month in 2002. My
greatest strength is my ability to organize (though I don't always use it).
JST: What is you greatest disappointment? Your greatest weakness, if any?
VW: My greatest disappointment is usually my most recent one, which fades over time like all the other ones.
Perhaps you should ask my friends about my greatest weakness. I think it is my habit of interrupting people.
Only my father and Oprah Winfrey interrupt more than I do.
JST: What is your definition of integrity?
VW: Doing the right thing, especially when that's hard to do.
JST: When time permits, how do you have fun?
VW: Reading, knitting, spinning, cooking, hunting, and traveling. Being single and childless and a government
worker gives me lots of time to have fun.
JST: What is your favorite restaurant in Austin?
VW: In the summer I would have said Wink, but now it's a tie between Wink and Dai Due.
JST: When is the last time you had time to read a book, and what is it's title?
VW: A better question would be when was the last time you cleaned your house. I read a lot every day, putting
off things I should be doing, and I usually read three or four books at a time (when I told my younger
Goddaughter this, she said, "Wow--you must have a lot of bookmarks!"). I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities,
Tomorrow is D-Day, The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan, and Fierce Patriot: The
Tangled Lives of William T. Sherman.
JST: What advice would you give to another parishioner in crisis mode -- whether it's financial, emotional, spiritual, or any other
life-defining moment of passage?
VW: Talk to someone and get help as soon as you can. Unlike a good wine, a crisis does not improve with age.
JST: What is one thing you would like the parishioners of All Saints’ to know about you that they don’t already know?
VW: I used to participate in triathlons, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. Small ones, but triathlons just
the same. And I was a Godless heathen when I was in college.

Bridge Ministry (An Addiction Recovery Ministry)
— Ross Hindman
Kindness Indwelling: Necessary Condition to be Fully Human
In the August issue Deacon Ed spoke, partly in poetry, to the third of the twelve steps of the AA community and
how it puts anyone on the path of being fully human.
For anyone, the AA twelve steps each cultivate this humanizing journey. The ﬁfth step is quite remarkable because
it is the reckoning of our lives by making amends. “Admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the
exact nature of our wrongs.” Deacon Ed when giving a presentation to a recovery group heard a tattooed person
in the audience shout: “You must be our ﬁfth-step-Ed.”
Without reckoning with our wrongs we will ﬁnd it near impossible to have self-compassion and to be deeply kind
to ourselves. It is unlikely if we do not have compassion for ourselves that we can experience compassion for
others—compassion starts at home just as charity does! Self compassion is not possible if we have not accepted
the noisy, troublesome, anxiety-producing parts of ourselves rather than banishing them to the basement of our
psyches, hoping they won’t surface and be noticed as we get ahead. –Speier 1998. One telltale sign of avoiding
our shadow-self is perfectionism, an emotionally appealing “front” for acting as someone other than who we really
are; it’s a cover-up. Jesus commented on performance-driven Martha when visiting her home. Martha was making
a perfect meal and grousing at her sister Mary for being a slacker while making the effort to be present in all her
human imperfection in relationship with their house guest and not doing in the kitchen. –Luke 10:38-42
Perfectionists lack patience with others as self-will overruns a reckoning, an embracing of those banished noisy
parts that are in control. Letting go of our adherence to our own desires and to let God create within our core a
peace that washes over us no matter what we are doing or what happens in the outer world. “Be still and know
that I am God.” -Psalm 46:10. Be patient letting God’s will be done for: “whoever is out of patience is out of
possession of his soul.” –Jonathan Swift.
Unlocking our hearts to God’s ever-presence and the peace within us, invites the Holy Spirit to nurture more
patience than we ever willfully could because doing so invites God to surround us and to be the Wayshower. God
will not lead us anywhere that God will not care for us. Raising patience within requires embracing the parts of
ourselves that have been rejected and denied, the parts of us that have been left to sink to the bottom of our false
selves and keep us from becoming authentically human (Speier 1998). This embracing connects us to ourselves,
the goodness of humanity and hence the wholeness within the human community—on the path to being fully
human in the likeness of God revealed to humanity in His son. (Deacon Ed, 2014). Theologian Paul Tillich deﬁned
this grace as: “... the acceptance of that which is rejected.” Thus grace is the antithesis of perfectionism that
stealthily veneers our true self, our full humanity.
Reckoning with our past and embracing our shadow-self, letting go and letting God germinates kindness within
us. Being kind to oneself, being forgiving is the necessary step toward being kind, patient, and loving to others.
Kindness is a choice that rewards with love, peace, joy and patience. “Kindness is the mightiest force in the
world...” exclaims Al-Anon. When we simply practice genuine kindness, other desirable qualities—respect,
honesty, trust, fairness, and affection—all blossom and grow. In the absence of kindness, nothing very positive
can take root or ﬂourish.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. –1 Cor. 13:4-5
Our daily lives provide limitless opportunities for more patience, thoughtfulness, forgiveness, and compassion:
in other words, more kindness.
I have wept in the night
For the shortness of sight
That to somebody’s need made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret
For being a little too kind
—Richard L. Evans, “The Quality of Kindness,” 1960, 340
The Bridge Team provides a compassionate ministry to engage the hurting, point to direct help, nurture personal
growth, and celebrate recovery. Team members: Bruce Bennett, Ross Hindman, Ed Myers, Beverly Pond, with
guidance from Deacon Ed Woolery-Price and support from Father Mike Adams.

The Rector Thinks Out Loud...
Continued from pg. 1
of the whole person. Yet, at the same time I am talking of more than just personal expression.
Presenting our true whole self to God in relationship with God is exactly what the Lord’s Prayer embodies and should
evoke. When we Christians think of prayer my guess is we naturally think of the Lord’s Prayer. Many of us have it
memorized. In fact, the Lord’s Prayer commands perennial interest because we know it so well. Word for word few
creations in all the history of literature have received so much attention, and probably no other prayer has wielded
as much influence in the history of religious devotions. In part this is because it is the prayer (supposedly) – the only
one – which our Lord, Jesus of Nazareth, enjoined on his disciples. In part it is because the prayer is terse in its
phraseology but universal in the aspiration of its petitions.
What’s so amazing about the Lord’s Prayer is that in this brief prayer, Jesus tells us exactly how to pray, and by
implication, why we pray and for what we pray. The Lord’s Prayer, as short as it is, is the model Christian prayer –
the basis for any prayer life. I guess that’s why it’s Jesus’ only instruction explicitly about prayer we have in the
Scriptures. The Lord’s Prayer even succinctly, in a way, summarizes the life of Jesus and his ministry to and for
God’s people.
In the Lord’s Prayer, which is now our prayer as well, Jesus sets his mind primarily on God and God’s coming
kingdom. Jesus illuminates the present in that light. Thus the Lord’s Prayer becomes, in a sense, faith in action and
is not simply a meritorious duty to be performed. It is a liberating expression of our selves before God, upon whose
coming we await in glory. The Lord’s Prayer revolves around the great concerns of God, but in such a manner that
from the beginning God is seen as concerned with humanity.
God’s name is blessed now and God’s kingdom begins to come now, in that we receive our daily bread form God,
thus free to share it. We are forgiven, thus free to forgive others; and we are lead away from temptation, thus free to
deliver others from it.
Furthermore, and another way of looking at the petitions of the Lord’s Prayer, these three requests dealing with our
essential needs seem to be referring to the three spheres of time within which we move and live. We ask for bread
to maintain life, thus bringing our needs of the “present” to God; we ask for forgiveness, which in a sense brings our
“past” into the presence of God; and we ask for help in temptation, thus bringing the “future” before God. In a manner
of speaking, we are taught by Jesus in this one prayer to set the present, the past, and the future before God. Therefore,
the Lord’s Prayer brings the whole life to the presence of God. And, moreover, in Jesus God is given to our lives.
The Lord’s Prayer reveals our relationship with God – a relationship between our total self and the true living God.
All of life then is prayer. We can say anything and dare anything in prayer. Nothing is too daring for the life of prayer.
Nothing is too difficult to contemplate in our self and in God and converse about with our self and with God. We are
not made perfect in such contemplation or conversation, nor is our world made perfect in doing it. Yet neither are
we daunted by our imperfection or our world’s imperfection. In prayer the center of Christian truth is made accessible
to us and we are made available to God. Prayer does not change God; prayer changes us.
Therefore, the Christian life is a prayer life. When we live a life in honest relationship with God, presenting our whole
self – past, present, and future – to God, we are praying.
Our Father, who art in heaven…
Your Servant in Christ,
Fr. Mike+
