2 “WITH THE EYES OF OUR HEARTS ENLIGHTENED” The Rt. Rev. David Reed, Bishop of West Texas

I can explain.

The theme for Council in February, and for the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas in 2020, takes some explaining.

“With the eyes of our hearts enlightened” (Ephesians 1:18) is not catchy. It doesn’t provide an easily understood message or a clear call to action. Instead, the letter’s author, Saint Paul, offers an odd mash- up of important organs: the eyes and the heart. What the phrase does is invite us to pause, wonder, and perhaps, to wander around in it for a while.

I wish I could say that the theme came to me in a blazing revelation, but the truth is, I was trying to be clever. The 116th Diocesan Council begins on February 20, 2020. So I thought it would be very clever indeed for our biblical theme to reference vision. 02/20/2020… Get it? I began reading passages on vision and sight, and there are plenty, but this verse from Ephesians was the first to catch my eye, so to speak, and touch my heart.

“With the eyes of our hearts enlightened,” of course, isn’t a complete sentence, or even a complete thought. I hope this phrase will make us curious about the words that come before it and where the letter is going, drawing us into an ongoing theological conversation of our own. In that sense, it is a snapshot of the entire biblical story and the ways we encounter the “logos,” the living Word of God, in daily life.

Here are the verses from the first chapter of Ephesians that frame our theme, “I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, with the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places…and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:16-22, RSV)

Even this larger context does not explain Paul’s intentions, rather it invites us into a larger and deeper conversation with the Word, wondering about and wandering deeper into God’s power, glory, and beauty.

Our 2020 theme invites us to wake up and keep our eyes peeled. With confidence and boldness, the Gospel proclaims that God is at work, that He has not wandered off, and that there is always more going on than meets the eye.

3 Back in the fall, a wise man shared with me something he had heard a priest say during a retreat at Duncan Park, our conference center in Colorado. The priest explained the difference between asking, “What is happening?” versus “What is going on?”

The first question speaks to the surface level facts of the situation, whether personal, cultural, or political. Answering it requires some consideration and discernment, even more so in the current state of our nation. But, the second question requires a deeper engagement; asking, “What is going on amidst what is happening?” It leads us to consider what God is doing in the present moment, regardless of whether it is a good moment or a bad one. Both questions matter. The questions lead us from the “givenness” of our lives to the “giftedness” of the ways that God reveals himself to us.

Through the theme, events, worship and workshops of Council, we will establish a pattern of looking once and then looking more deeply, of seeking grace to watch expectantly with the “eyes of our hearts” for what is truly going on as God continues the redemptive and saving work in Jesus Christ and through the power of the Spirit, right in the midst of what we see happening. Of course, this perspective is not limited to the delegates, alternates, and clergy at Council, but intended for the whole diocese, so that we might love one another more truly and follow Jesus more closely.

One way to expand our consideration of this theme from Ephesians will be engaging in a diocesan-wide Bible Study, as has been our custom for many years now. All congregations of West Texas are invited and encouraged (even implored and cajoled, if necessary!) to engage in sustained, shared study of the Book of Psalms, a book of ancient prayers and hymns that still speak powerfully to us today. The poetry of the Psalms “tells the truth, but tells it slant” (Emily Dickenson) - moving us to look more deeply at our own lives and the world around us, to take seriously our relationship with the living God, and to consider life “with the eyes of our hearts.”

We hear and say these ancient words in church every week, but rarely take time to ponder them. The Psalms are, at the same time, familiar yet often strange. They are the prayer book and hymnal of the synagogue that Jesus knew and loved, the earliest prayer book of the Church. Expressing the full range of human experience and emotion, the Psalms draw us into the depths, lamenting the worst that life has to offer, and lift us up to see and sing about the wonder and glory of God.

The Psalms are honest prayers from the heart. Faith and fear, hope and despair, adoration and anger, laments and shouts of joy - all are given voice in the Psalms. They are a God-given means to consider the world, to have compassion for one another and ourselves, and to be in conversation with God.

I commend the Book of Psalms to you for your use and study, personally and in your church. Guided by our theme verse, allow the beauty and authentic prayers of these sacred songs to permeate the course of your year. Recommended resources from the Diocese will be available at Council and shared online.

By the grace and power we receive in baptism, let us keep the eyes of our hearts enlightened and open to see the works of God in the world and recognize the face of Christ in our neighbor. In the simple prayer of an old hymn: “Day by day, dear Lord of Thee three things we pray: To see Thee more clearly, love Thee more dearly, follow Thee more nearly, day by day. Amen.”

Mental Health, Mental Illness, and the Good News of God’s Compassion Given that we all have our own “stuff,” we will talk about the broad spectrum of mental health and ask, “How do we create communities of compassion, grace and as much spaciousness as possible?” We seek a community where a person experiencing a manic episode or living on the spectrum is held as gently as someone experiencing the depression of a divorce. How do you distinguish between someone having a bad day and a real crisis? Let’s talk about how we can live into the love and delight that God holds for us all.

Led by the Rev. Cynthia McKenna, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Associate Rector of All Saints’, Corpus Christi.

Led by Marcus Hummon, award winning singer and songwriter from Nashville, TN and previous speaker at the 2018 Bishop’s Spring Retreat, and Gene Dowdy, member and musician of Holy Spirit, San Antonio and member of Down for the Count.

Spirituality for the Wisdom Years Each season of our life has the potential to bring us new revelations, new challenges, new blessings. As we enter our “wisdom years” – the last third of our life – we find that while the body diminishes, the spiritual longing for a deeper relationship with God increases. How we nurture that, individually and as a church, is the topic of this interactive workshop.

Led by Marjorie George, Consultant for Adult Christian Formation. Hosted by the Diocesan Christian Formation Department.

Discovering the Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit The Bible speaks about the power of the Holy Spirit and how encounters with the Holy Spirit transformed people’s lives. This workshop will consist of teaching, personal stories and a time of ministry where we believe people will be touched by the Holy Spirit. Come and be encouraged and changed by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Led by the Rev. Chuck Sharrow, Vicar of St. Paul’s, Brownsville.

66 RESOLUTIONS

67 68 RESOLUTION 2020-1 Creation of the Office of Assistant Bishop and Authority to Appoint an Assistant Bishop

WHEREAS, the Diocese of West Texas has historically operated with two Bishops, the Diocesan Bishop and the Bishop Suffragan, both whom are elected by the Diocesan Council;

WHEREAS, the previous election for Bishop Suffragan was held in 2017 and the Bishop Suffragan has since resigned to accept a position in another Diocese;

WHEREAS, the Bishop and the Standing Committee are in unanimous agreement that another election, at this time, is not in the best interests of the Diocese;

WHEREAS, the Bishop and the Standing Committee are also in unanimous agreement that the best course of action is to appoint an Assistant Bishop; and

WHEREAS, Canon III.12.5 of the Canons of The Episcopal Church sets forth the procedure to create the office of an Assistant Bishop;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. The Office of the Assistant Bishop is hereby authorized for the Diocese of West Texas in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the Diocese and The Episcopal Church; and 2. The Right Reverend David Reed, Bishop of the Diocese of West Texas, may appoint an Assistant Bishop for the Diocese for a period not to exceed three (3) years.

The complete and authorized version of the Constitution and Canons together with the Rules of Order, of The Episcopal Church and the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas are available for reference on the Council website, at council-dwtx.org/resolutions2020. The members of the Diocesan Standing Committee are listed online, at dwtx.org/governing-bodies.

69 Excerpt of a letter sent to Clergy, Churches, and diocesan leadership in December 2019, from the Rt. Rev. David Reed regarding Council Resolution 2020-1:

“The Standing Committee and I will submit a resolution in February 2020 asking the Diocesan Council to create the office of Assistant Bishop, for a period not to exceed three years, and to give me approval to seek and appoint a bishop to that position. If approved, this resolution will permit me to call an already consecrated bishop to serve our diocese in this role; it would not permit me to call and consecrate a priest to serve as bishop.

Allow me to explain three terms, for the sake of clarity. The canons of The Episcopal Church provide for three types of bishops to serve in an assisting role to the diocesan bishop: suffragan, assisting, and assistant.

• A Bishop Suffragan is elected by the clergy and people of a diocese and can be a priest who will be consecrated in order to serve. Their tenure is not determined by the diocesan bishop. Our diocese has elected six suffragan bishops since the mid-1950’s, including the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson, myself in 2006, the Rt. Rev. Robert Hibbs, and three other faithful shepherds of our congregations and clergy.

• An Assisting Bishop is an already consecrated bishop who serves a diocese on an occasional basis at the request of the diocesan bishop, helping with confirmation visits and other duties of the bishop. Typically, they have retired or resigned from the dioceses in which they were previously called to serve. When the Rt. Rev. Jim Folts, former Bishop of West Texas, makes a Sunday visitation at my request, he is acting in this role.

• An Assistant Bishop is an already consecrated bishop called by the diocesan bishop to serve on an ongoing, regular basis with duties delegated to them by the diocesan bishop. They can serve in a full-time or part-time capacity and typically have resigned all previous responsibilities to other dioceses. The Assistant Bishop’s tenure cannot extend beyond the tenure of the diocesan bishop who called him or her.

My hope, and that of the Standing Committee, is that Council will approve our resolution in February 2020, so that the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas may benefit again from the work of two bishops, which has been our practice for over sixty years.

This resolution is not an attempt to circumvent our diocese’s right to elect its bishops, but rather to respond in a faithful, creative, and timely fashion and to provide for needed episcopal ministry.

It is an interim step, taken by Council resolution rather than canonical change, that will not last longer than three years unless Council chooses to renew it.

The Standing Committee and Diocesan Chancellor have been strong and steady leaders during this season, and I am so grateful for their encouragement and guidance.

I give thanks to God for you, the clergy and people of West Texas, and for your prayers, support, and trust."
