The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost 11 October 2015

September 1984, Christ Church, with the support of the Nina F. Lansley Native American in Endowment and Mission Fund, established a relationship with the Navajo nation through the support of Lilly Ann Begaye, a caseworker with the Navajo nation’s Division of Social Welfare. This assistance included food, fuel, water, medical expenses, tools and building supplies for the poor and elderly who live a hard life in the remote reaches of the reservation. The assistance also included trucks (and requisite maintenance) needed to navigate the rugged, desolate back-country of the western Na- vajo Reservation. These trucks also provided transportation for children attending boarding school to visit their families on weekends. This humanitarian assistance of the poor and elderly continues through the present.

In the summer of 1987, Christ Church began an extended relationship with the Good Shepherd Mission at Fort Defiance, Arizona, establishing a Vacation Bible School and coordinating work projects with the clergy and lay leadership. A two­‑year ministry with St. Paul’s Church in Bear Mountain, Vir- ginia, was also undertaken with members of the Monacan people.

Currently, the Native American Council has three areas of emphasis: 1. Hands on Outreach—including representation on the Navajoland Strategic Planning Team and the 2014 site-team visit to Good Shepherd Mission and St. Mark’s in Navajoland; 2. Education and Leadership Development—underwriting seminary studies for Native Americans pursuing ordination in The Episcopal Church and supporting the Bishop’s Native Collaborative in the development of training programs for lay; ordained Native American leadership; 3. Empowerment Initiatives—supporting Native American participation in the Episcopal Youth Events and World Council of Churches/UN Women’s Empowerment Conferences; underwriting documentaries and training related to the “Repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery.”

The Native American Council works closely on a national and international level with Sarah Eagle Heart (Oglala Sioux), Missioner for Indigenous Ministries for the Episcopal Church USA. Through this important liaison, the Cathedral’s Native American Council is effective nationally and internationally. Indian Boarding Schools: History, Historical Trauma, and Healing

Every year, the cathedral’s Native American Council holds a workshop to explore the various chal- lenges facing Native Americans today and the ways in which people of faith can address these is- sues. Also every year, our nation celebrates Columbus Day. However, for some, this holiday is not a time of celebration, but serves as a painful annual reminder of the Europeans’ brutal settlement and conquest of the Americas. This year’s Native American workshop at the cathedral will look at the consequences for native peoples of the European settlement, particularly in relationship to boarding schools in which Native American children were forced to enroll. Yet, the focus need not be only on the grief.

“This time can also be a time of learning and understanding,” said Sarah Eagle Heart, the Epis- copal Church’s former officer for Indigenous Ministries. “Columbus Day could instead be a time to turn away from those things done ‘on behalf’ of Native Americans so that we all might come to live in justice and peace with all people.” She points out that many people in the Episcopal Church are unaware that for hundreds of years the church joined with the political structures of the Western Hemisphere to legally justify:

• The theft of native lands; • The murder of native men, women, and children; • The denial of basic human rights through subjugation and enforced relocation; • The denial of self-determination through destruction of Native American economic resources, cultures, and religions; and • Involuntary assimilation and attempted extermination of native identity.

In 2009, the Episcopal Church made an unprecedented decision to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery. The Discovery Doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions dating back to 1823. Under it, title to newly discovered lands lay with the government whose subjects discovered new territory. The doctrine has been primarily used to support decisions invalidating or ignoring aboriginal possession of land in favor of colonial or post-colonial governments.

In recent years, the National Council of Churches and many international bodies have joined the Episcopal Church in this repudiation. The repudiation includes a review of policies and programs that expose the historical reality and impact of the Doctrine of Discovery. Music at the Gathering Native Drum Southern Drum

Music at the Smudging Native Flutes Janice Trytten The beating drum can be compared to the beating heart of the The People stand earth and, in this way, connects our spirits Hymn at the Entrance Song at the Center with that of the earth and the Great Spirit.

To further empha- size this notion, the drums are usually arranged in circle, a Native American symbol of earth and life.

About Smudging... Smudging with sage has been and contin- ues to be a significant part of the spiritual- ity of many Native American peoples. Smudging is the process of burning dried plant material (tobacco, sweetgrass, calamus, red willow bark, etc.) and fan- ning the smoke over a body or place with sacred intention.

Smudging brings an awareness of the sacred and should be performed with sen- sitivity and respect. Smudging is a step on the path to walking in beauty, honoring the Great Mystery within you, and respecting all other beings in the Web of Life.

Collect of the Day

The Lessons

A Reading from Job.

Then Job answered: “Today also my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy despite my groaning. Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me. There an upright person could reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge.

“If I go forward, he is not there; or backward, I cannot perceive him; on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him; I turn to the right, but I cannot see him. God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me; If only I could vanish in darkness, and thick darkness would cover my face!” Job 23:1-9, 16-17 Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Thanks be to God.

4 Psalm 22:1-15 The cantor sings the following refrain, then all repeat

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; by night as well, but I find no rest. Yet you are the Holy One, enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Our forefathers put their trust in you; they trusted, and you delivered them. They cried out to you and were delivered; they trusted in you and were not put to shame. Refrain

But as for me, I am a worm and no man, scorned by all and despised by the people. All who see me laugh me to scorn; they curl their lips and wag their heads, saying, “He trusted in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, if he delights in him.” Yet you are he who took me out of the womb, and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast. I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb. Refrain

Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. Many young bulls encircle me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me. They open wide their jaws at me, like a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; my heart within my breast is melting wax. My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; and you have laid me in the dust of the grave. Refrain

A Reading from Paul’s letter to the Hebrews.

The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account. Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:12-16 Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Thanks be to God. 5 The People stand

Music at the Procession Heleluyan

The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Mark. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.” Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions— and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.” Mark 10:17-31 The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The People stand

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Prayers of the People

The Deacon or Celebrant bids the Prayers of the People by saying: “With all our heart and with all our mind, let us pray to the Lord, saying, “Lord have mercy.”

For the peace of the world, for the welfare of the Holy Church of God, and for the unity of all peoples, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

For Justin, Katharine, Michael, Thomas, Nedi and Kenneth; for all bishops, clergy and other ministers, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

For our cathedral members and ministries, for the churches and ministries of our diocese and in the worldwide Anglican Communion, remembering especially… …let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

For Barack, our President, for our elected leaders, for the leaders of all nations, and for all in authority, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

7 For the many blessings that come from you, we give you thanks. Gracious God, our church has been blessed with financial abundance thanks to the generosity of former generations of Christ Church. As we remember the past, transform our gratitude for all that we have inherited into faithful stewardship of our own lives. Challenge us to trust you as we invest in the future of your church. As we are “Living the Vision,” may the improvements we seek outwardly mirror the inward refining of our souls. And may all we do be always to your glory and in service to your people.

For the poor and the oppressed; for prisoners and captives; for the sick and the suffering; let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

For all who have requested our prayers, especially… let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

For all who have died in the hope of the resurrection, and for all the departed, especially… let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.

In the communion of all the saints, let us commend ourselves, and one another, and all our life, to Christ our God. To you, O Lord our God.

The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect.

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. The People stand or Kneel Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The Celebrant concludes with an X absolution or a suitable Collect. The People respond Amen.

The Peace

The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

The People reconcile with their neighbors and greet one another in the name of the Lord.

8 THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

Anthem at the Offertory In Beauty May I Walk

In beauty may I walk, All day long may I walk, Through the returning seasons may I walk. Beautifully, beautifully joyful, joyful! Beautifully will I possess again, Beautifully birds, Beautifully joyful birds. On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk. With dew about my feet. With beauty before me, With beauty behind me, With beauty above me, With beauty all around me. It is finished in beauty. Ah!

Hymn at the Presentation

9 Today’s Eucharistic Prayer comes from Enriching Our Worship, a supplemental publication from the Standing Litur- gical Commision (1997) designed to expand the language and symbols we use to speak of and to God. our

We praise you and we bless you, holy and gracious God, source of life abundant. From before time you made ready the creation. Your Spirit moved over the deep and brought all things into being: sun, moon, and stars; earth, winds, and waters; and every living thing. You made us in your image, and taught us to walk in your ways. But we rebelled against you, and wandered far away; and yet, as a mother cares for her children, you would not forget us. Time and again you called us to live in the fullness of your love.

And so this day we join with Saints and Angels in the chorus of praise that rings through eternity, lifting our voices to magnify you as we sing:

10 Glory and honor and praise to you, holy and living God. To deliver us from the power of sin and death and to reveal the riches of your grace, you looked with favor upon Mary, your willing servant, that she might conceive and bear a son, Jesus the holy child of God. Living among us, Jesus loved us. He broke bread with outcasts and sinners, healed the sick, and proclaimed good news to the poor. He yearned to draw all the world to himself yet we were heedless of his call to walk in love. Then, the time came for him to complete upon the cross the sacrifice of his life, and to be glorified by you.

On the night before he died for us, Jesus was at table with his friends. He took bread, gave thanks to you,broke it, and gave it to them, and said: “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine. Again, he gave thanks to you, gave it to them, and said: “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is poured out for you and for all for the forgive- ness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

Now gathered at your table, O God of all creation, and remembering Christ, crucified and risen, who was and is and is to come, we offer to you our gifts of bread and wine, and ourselves, a living sacrifice. Pour out your Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ. Breathe your Spirit over the whole earth and make us your new creation, the Body of Christ given for the world you have made. In the fullness of time bring us, with all your saints, from every tribe and language and people and nation, to feast at the banquet prepared from the founda- tion of the world.

Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise,

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.

The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread.

Facing the congregation, the Celebrant says an Invitation to Communion.

All who are drawn to God’s table through the waters of baptism are welcome to receive Holy Communion. When you come to the railing, you may either stand or kneel. The wafer will be placed in your palm. You may either consume the host immediately and then drink from the chalice, or hold the host and lightly dip it in the wine when it is offered. If you wish to receive a blessing instead of communion, cross your arms over your chest, and the priest will bless you. 11 Music at the Communion Native Flutes Janice Trytten Janice Trytten is a historian, reenactor in the fur-trade era, Hymn 791 (Wonder, Love, and Praise) Peace before us (stanzas 1-4) Native flute collector, performer, and recording artist.

12 Let us pray. God of abundance, you have fed us with the bread of life and cup of salvation; you have united us with Christ and one another; and you have made us one with all your people in heaven and on earth. Now send us forth in the power of your Spirit, that we may proclaim your redeeming love to the world and continue for ever in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.

The Bishop or Priest may bless the People. The People respond Amen.
