Letter From The Rector

Sabbatical Reflections

My sabbatical began on the day George Floyd was murdered. That day significantly altered the trajectory of my sabbatical experience. I was prepared for the uncertainty and adjustments that COVID-19 would impose on my time away from you, but I was not prepared for the 8 minutes and 46 seconds that ended George Floyd’s life. I watched, along with all of you, the video and the protests that erupted in Minneapolis and all around the world. Every day thereafter the news of this tragedy and the names of so many others who have died at the hands of police and vigilantes, enabled by law enforcement, filled the airwaves and flooded the internet. And so, I decided that I would commit significant sabbatical time advocating for police reforms. I drafted a list of policy proposals for Reimagining Policing in the United States. These policy proposals were sent to Senator Mark Warner, Senator Tim Kaine, Congressman Bobby Scott, Governor Ralph Northam, Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax, State Senator Montgomery Mason, State Delegate Marcia Price, Mayor Donnie Tuck and Mayor McKinley Price (Newport News). I intend to continue my advocacy for police reforms and to be satisfied only when black and brown people are no longer the targets of police violence, vigilantes, and the violence of other state actors, simply because we exist.

My desire to be a part of the change sweeping the nation took me to Washington, D.C. and there I visited Black Lives Matter Plaza. I saw the letters on the street that have slowly become iconic in the American vocabulary for racial justice. The fence erected by the Trump administration was covered by signs supporting police reforms, racial justice and social change. I drove to the Supreme Court building where I knelt in prayer on the steps leading to the front entrance for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. I prayed for those whose lives were taken by police and vigilante violence, for their families, and for the Supreme Court Justices who would soon render their decision on several important cases.

As with you, COVID-19 placed many restrictions on what I could do safely. I cooked more than I normally do and explored some of the local parks on the Peninsula. My Spanish lessons were also a regular part of my weekly routine. I used a Spanish language app on my phone to provide the structure I needed to learn a foreign language. I am not yet fluent in Spanish, and did not expect to be, but I no longer feel lost in a sea of Spanish words when I see them or hear them spoken. Perhaps by next year this time, if I am disciplined and persistent, I might be able to claim some valuable progress.

I read fiction, a little poetry, and various articles and book chapters that caught my attention. I developed a more regular routine of exercise and rest. My guitar was always nearby as a reminder of my commitment to get fingers and frets and strings to create chords that sound something close to what my ear would call music.

My sabbatical started slowly but moved quickly from day to day. And even though COVID-19 placed many travel restrictions on this experience, I was able to find places and spaces to grow. I return to you grateful for this wonderful gift of time. Grace and peace, Fr. Ramsey

The Reverend William Thomas Martin

St. Cyprian’s Episcopal Church welcomed The Reverend William Thomas Martin as the celebrant and guest preacher July 26 - August 16, 2020. During an interview, Reverend Martin responded to the questions below.

How long have you been in the ministry? “I was ordained to the priesthood at Saint Thomas’ Church, Dover, New Hampshire, on July 15, 1970. I had recently graduated from Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, an ecumenical seminary, having been raised an Episcopalian all my life in a clerical home, when I told my bishop that it would mean a great deal if I could have a wider experience than simply going off to an Episcopal Seminary. But having said that, I ended up taking two courses at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a course at Saint John’s Roman Catholic Seminary at Boston College.

What has marked my entire ministry was the May 4 massacre at Kent State by the Ohio National Guard killing four and wounding nine other unarmed students of the university who were involved in a peace rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War.”

Where did you start out? “Ginny and I were in Dover only for two years. At the time of my ordination, the Bishop of Missouri, my bishop, did not have a cure for me, so I went to New Hampshire, but now two years later, I was called to two mission congregations in the southeastern corner of the state, known as the ‘Bootheel’ and served also as Juvenile Officer. Saint John’s Church was in Caruthersville and the congregation was composed of landowners, farmers, lawyers, and retired people.”

What do you look for in a parish? “Ginny and I lived nearby and I was a good friend of the Roman Catholic priest and, along with a social worker, we had hoped to place within the parish house two large freezers in order to serve free meals to those who needed them. We got everything arranged, and suddenly the vestry decided that it wasn’t such a good idea; and, we had to end the only outreach that the parish ever had that wasn’t for itself.

Saint Luke’s Church met in a Southern United Methodist Church early in the morning. It was 26 miles from Caruthersville and was composed of teachers and insurance salesmen. I was able to give one day to the parish along with emergence and pastoral calls; and the rest of my time I worked in the court and the county jail. I had responsibility for children from the time of their birth until the age of 18.

Pemiscot County was, and probably still is, one of the poorest counties in the nation. There was absolutely nothing for young people to do there. The races were divided primarily economically and socially. The white culture was conservative, and white-supremacy was well known. It was hard work. We were in Missouri for three and a half years. We went on to the Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania where I was the Associate Rector; and finally Rector of All Hallows Church in Wyncote, Pennsylvania and Church of the Ascension in Cartersville, Georgia. I retired at the end of 2007.”

What has been your most rewarding or enjoyable part of the ministry? “My most rewarding part of ministry is caring for people, sharing the faith, celebrating the sacraments, being present with those who suffer.”

What do you think is the greatest challenge facing the Episcopal Church during this COVID-19 pandemic? “The greatest challenge facing us as a church during COVID-19 is to trust God in the process of staying mindful of the science moving forward, to stay calm, not be anxious, to patiently wear the mask, keep social distance, and hands washed often.

The other Pandemic we face is racism and white-supremacy, and here we must all acknowledge our own racism, to recognize that we are children of a culture that has denied others their rights, and to do all we can to break down the walls that separate us. After all we are God’s children, brothers and sisters of Christ. We can no longer deny our heritage.”
