There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:28-31, NRSV) Well here we are, three months into our reflection on the shema, that section of Deuteronomy Jesus quotes as an answer to the scribes’ question above which our Jewish siblings pray every day, morning and evening, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This month, as I began reflecting on loving the Lord our God with all our mind, I breathed a sigh of relief! Finally, unlike loving God with all our heart and soul that involves trying to understand how we love God with our intangible emotions, feelings and life essence, something logical and tangible! And at least on some level, loving God with all our mind does in fact involve loving God from an intellectual perspective. Loving God with all our mind engages our intellect through bible study, conversation, listening to sermons, and the like. Loving God with all our mind in so many ways makes loving God actually something that is attainable … something that we can learn to do. The thing is, if we’re truthful with ourselves, loving God is so much more than anything that our limited human brain can comprehend. Many times, I’ve heard people say that faith is something caught … not taught. Even Luther believed that our faith itself was a gift from God. Which makes me wonder, does loving God with all our mind involve more than simply focusing our minds on loving God … on simply learning how to love God? Yes! Loving God with our whole mind moves beyond some logical, intellectual exercise when we open ourselves up to the possibility that loving God with our minds can be transformational. Loving God with our minds can lead to having our minds transformed to parallel God’s mind. And that possibility, that our minds can become parallel God’s mind, is truly life changing! When our minds are transformed to parallel God’s mind, we are led to a place where we look at our neighbor and see our neighbor as a reflection of God’s very self (after all, all people are created in the image of God). When our minds are transformed to parallel God’s mind, we are led to a place where we can offer forgiveness as radically as God does. When our minds are transformed to parallel God’s mind, we live in a place where grace, the very grace that connects us eternally to God, also connects us eternally to our siblings … all our siblings. Loving God with all our mind in so many ways, allows God to include us in God’s kingdom work in the world. And that is truly a gift, as mind-blowing as it might be, for which we can say, “Thanks be to God.” See you Sunday (or Wednesday or Saturday), Pastor Mike 1 REVEREND TAMIKA JANCEWICZ Associate Pastor ([email protected]) In 1979, The Reverend Earlean Miller became the first African American woman ordained in the Lutheran church in North America, and the first African American woman ordained in Lutheranism ever. I’ve never had the honor of meeting Reverend Miller because she died in November 2014, which was a year before I started my seminary journey to becoming a pastor myself. From what I’ve heard of her, she was a phenomenal preacher, amazing pastor, and she certainly paved the way for black women pastors like myself. This past Churchwide Assembly (August 5-10) was packed full of new memorials, resolutions, and statements, and a celebration of ordained women in the ELCA. As I watched from afar, through Fa- cebook posts, and the live stream, my heart was overjoyed to see so many women pastors pro- cessing in their vestments with such joy on their faces. It made me think of the many times of uncer- tainty I had throughout seminary, and how often other women, especially other ordained women of color, would surround me in love and encourage me to keep going. I remember the many times that others would say, “You are a gift to the church.” Or “Your voice matters.” Those few words of assur- ance often helped me to get through the papers and assignments, and the doubt and fear of not be- ing enough. It also made me think that it must have been tough and maybe even lonely for those who came first. I’m sure they had family, friends, and colleagues who supported them, but to not have the representation of women in leadership in the same way that I do now, must have felt isolat- ing at times. But they continued, and for that I am grateful. And I take this heart-filled gratitude with me next month on September 14, as I preach for the event, A Revival and Commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of Black Woman Leadership in the ELCA. This event is hosted in the Metropolitan New York Synod at a church in Brooklyn called Je- hu’s Table. My friend and colleague, Pastor Lenny Duncan, is the pastor of the church and I was honored when he asked me to be one of the preachers. I ask for your prayers, church, as I go and celebrate with our other siblings on such a momentous occasion and I take you all with me as I preach the gospel. Peace, Pastor Tamika Source: (https://www.southernohiosynod.org/aws/SOS/pt/sd/news_article/99597/_PARENT/layout_details/false ) 2 DR. WAYNE L. WOLD Director of Music Ministry ([email protected]) I was thrilled and honored to have written the hymn that was chosen by the ELCA as the new theme song for God’s Work. Our Hands Sunday. We will be singing it on September 8, but here is an ad- vance copy to give you a head start: God’s work: our hands, working together, building a future, repairing the world, raising up homes, planting new gardens, feeding the hungry and shelt’ring the cold. Bless, God, our hands as we work in your name, sharing the good news of your Gospel. God’s work: our feet, trav’ling together, following Jesus to places unknown, walking as friends, marching for freedom, running the race with God’s future the goal. Bless, God, our feet as we follow your way, sharing the good news of your Gospel. God’s work: our voice, singing together, praising, proclaiming to all who will hear, praying for peace, shouting for justice, claiming God’s love for the lost and the least. Bless, God, our voice as we speak in your name, sharing the good news of your Gospel. God is at work in and around us: seedlings are sprouting and bread’s on the rise! Washed and set free, humbled and honored, gifted by grace, we respond in God’s love. Bless, God, our lives as we answer your call, sharing the good news of your Gospel. Thanks to all members and guests who provided musical offerings over the summer months. Our choirs return soon, and all welcome new and former members. Here is the line-up: • Jubilate Handbells—Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary, beginning September 5 Contact Jenne Burnham ([email protected]) for more information. • Children’s Choir—Sundays at 9 a.m. in the Social Hall, beginning September 15. • Adult/Teen Choir—Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. in the Choir Room, beginning September 5. Join us! And keep singing! Wayne 3 JENNY JAMES Director of Preschool ([email protected]) Preschool Partners! First Lutheran Preschool is looking for people who enjoy the playful outlook of preschoolers to be a Preschool Partner (formerly known as the Foster Grandparent Program). The program is designed to place volunteers in our preschool classes to partner with children in their play. Preschool Partners can sign up for 20-30-minute sessions on days that are convenient for their schedule. Examples include: Accompanying children to chapel on Wednes- day or Thursday mornings, playing with children on the playground at recess time, joining a group at the Playdough table, or playing Bingo or other simple board games with a small group of children. Preschool Partners are never alone with children and are always under the supervision of the classroom teach- er.

  • The Function of the Double Love Command in Matthew 22:34-40
    Andrews Uniwsity Seminary Studies, Spring 1998, Vol. 36, No. 1, 7-22 Copyright @ 1998 by Andrews University Press. THE FUNCTION OF THE DOUBLE LOVE COMMAND IN MATTHEW 22:34-40 OSCARS. BROOKS Golden Gate Seminary Mill Valley, CA 94941 Matthew used the pericope of the double love command, love to God and neighbor, to summarize Jesus' teachings, as well as the laws of Moses, and to continue to demonstrate Jesus' prowess as a teacher in the presence of his Pharisaic opponents. This article sets forth the reasons for his doing so as well as the method used to accomplish this. Parallels to Matt 22:34-40 are found in Mark 12:28-34 and Luke 10:25- 28. It is not necessary here to do a full analysis of these parallels nor to determine the exact tradition behind the Synoptics. This has been done by Furnish, Fuller, Hultgren, and numerous others.' 7he Setting of the Double Love Command The quotations of Deut 6:5 and Lev 19:18 are the nucleus of each of the commandments. Hultgren thinks these two commandments, introduced by "Jesus said," formed a "free floatingn dominical saying in the early tradition.' Matthew's setting for the saying follows Mark's order, which places it in Jerusalem during Jesus' last days and is preceeded and followed by the same stories. Matthew opened the story by noting that the Pharisees "came together" (22:34) "to test him." Unlike Mark and Luke, Matthew made this a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees. A lawyer (nomikos) addressed Jesus as a teacher and asked: "Which is the great commandment in the law (nornos)" (22:36)? Jesus quoted Deut 6:5: "You shall love the Lord your God," thus answering the lawyer's question.

    RELS 3213.001/FILM 3051.004 JESUS ON THE SILVER SCREEN TR 12:30-1:45 Friday 116 Kent L. Brintnall [email protected] Office Hours: Wed., 2-3PM, and by appointment, Macy 202A COURSE DESCRIPTION Attempts to tell the story of Jesus‟ life, ministry, death and resurrection in the language of film are as old as the art form itself. From Cecil B. DeMille‟s The King of Kings, one of the earliest feature-length Jesus films, to Mel Gibson‟s The Passion of the Christ, one of the most recent offerings in the genre, almost every Jesus film has offended some viewers deeply and moved others profoundly. Given the intense personal devotion many people have to the Christian narrative, the cultural significance of the figure of Jesus and the checkered historical legacy of Christianity, both the mixture and extremity of reaction is understandable. In this course, we will examine several well-known cinematic depictions of Jesus. We will analyze each film in relation to texts from the Christian New Testament, in light of the historical context in which it was produced and on its own merits as an aesthetic object. We will not be primarily concerned with whether these representations are historically accurate, biblically faithful or theologically orthodox. Instead, we will focus on the choices they make in telling the story of Jesus of Nazareth. By understanding the variety of representations in and the plurality of reactions to these films, we will hopefully gain a better understanding of the contemporary cultural meaning and function of the Christian discourses.

  • Friars' Bookshelf 137 Ans, Make One of the Most Important and Indispensible Sources for Historical Research Work, Not Only in the Life of St
    The Un6niabed Universe. By T. S. Gregory. 343 pp. Sheed & Ward, New York. $3.00. This book is a challenge to all men,-to men concerned with the­ ology or unemployment or peace or the race-problem, and above all to men who say their prayers. T. S. Gregory calls this book the story of his conversion. The process brought him back to Greek philosophy only because "since the Reformation and as a consequence of it, Europe has steadily re­ turned to the mental habits of Greek antiquity. " Studying that age, he found the Gentile world wanting even as our own. The self-sufficiency consequent upon a finished universe spelled its doom. Not till Christianity redeemed it was there any hope. With the com­ ing of schism and heresy, particularly that of Luther and the heresi­ archs of the Protestant Revolt, the City of God suffered violence. In this instance, however, the violent did not bear it away; rather they found themselves with a finished universe, narrow and confined. So again, the logical conclusion from such premises as theirs was self­ sufficiency. Man is the measure of all, nothing the measure of man. Today as yesterday, we must make a choice of either a real, re­ ligious, and unfinished universe open to the supernatural (wherein man is a real cause and events really happen), or an idealistic, magi­ cal and finished universe cl osed to the supernaturd.l (wherein man. universe state and God are at one time or another identical) . It amounts to a choice between God and mammon.
