TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH 12 SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST PASTOR NICK DROGE SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 “WHERE DO I SIT?” LUKE 14:1, 7-14 Last TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH 12TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST PASTOR NICK DROGE SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 “WHERE DO I SIT?” LUKE 14:1, 7-14 Last Sunday, my wife’s family — her mom, her dad, her step-sister and brother-in-law from Bakersfield; my wife’s kids and her grandkids gathered for dinner at my in-laws’ to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Her birthday was actually this past Wednesday, but of course it’s much more practical to gather on a weekend rather than to gather in the middle of the week. Her oldest son flew in from Utah as a surprise, and it was; it was a really pleasant surprise, a surprise that kept on giving; because she got up at 4:00 Monday morning to take him back to the airport. You might be thinking I should have been a good guy. I should have offered to get up in the middle of the night Monday morning and take him to the airport. Yeah, well I’m not a good guy. Her son’s been living in Texas for the past two years and she doesn’t get to see him that often. So that drive to the airport at 4am Monday gave them an opportunity to spend some alone time together. I suppose I could have been a good guy and offered to go along to the airport with them so she wouldn’t have to drive home alone. But remember, I’m not a good guy. Back to that dinner at my in-laws last Sunday. My wife’s parents are both in their early eighties and they moved to Fresno from Coarsegold almost two years ago, downsizing their home considerably. A consequence of that downsizing is they no longer have room for a table that seats 12. And whenever I find myself at a dinner like that, I wonder, where should I sit? I didn’t have to this time, because I was told. My wife, her kids and her grandkids were around the dining area table and the rest of us were at the kitchen table. My wife was with all her kids, and they had a good time eating and visiting. And the rest of us eating in the kitchen, well, my in-laws talked about their ailments, then I talked about my ailments and my brother in-law and his wife talked about their ailments. We were, you know, having a good time gathered around that table. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus, seems to love gatherings around meals; at a table. In our story, Jesus is at a banquet where he tells a “parable” about the meal setting, and if you read further in chapter 14, he follows it immediately with another story about another banquet, another table. The table is not only where we say grace before we eat; it’s also a place to extend grace; to share grace with others. Tables in the ancient world were places where philosophers and teachers could share their wisdom; they were also a place where community’s identity is both shared and revealed. There’s a Near Eastern proverb declares, “I saw them eating and I knew who they were.” The company we keep around the table when we eat says a lot about both who we are, and how go about being who we are. And that was especially important in the Middle East when Jesus lived. Status, honor, respect and reputation could all be seen in the place the host offered you at table. In Luke’s Gospel, the dining table is a very important, very serious place. Jesus institutes communion there. The two disciples Jesus meets on the road to Emmaus recognize the risen Christ in the breaking of the bread. In the very beginning of the book of Acts Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to the disciples while eating with them. The dining table is taken so seriously in the first century Jesus gets into trouble because with the Pharisees because of his eating companions. He was known as a “friend of tax collectors and sinners,” people with low reputation, because he ate with them. He was marked as suspect. Inviting others to a table can be an expression of affluence or status but it can also be an expression of service or an act of acceptance, as equals, creating fellowship through the breaking of bread. Table fellowship meant full acceptance by the host of the guests, so the inclusiveness Jesus exhibited in the company he kept, especially of those socially ostracized, was suspect. Table fellowship practice at that time was an expression of who’s in and who’s out; it was a reflection of the culture. So the practice around the table was as much about shame and honor; about status, as it was about food. It was about quid pro quo, this for that. If you invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors to your table, Jesus says, they can pay your back by inviting you to theirs — quid pro quo. But if you invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, you will be blessed because they have no way to repay you. They have no table to invite you to. In this parable we hear Jesus tell today, he calls out that culture, and our culture too, for looking at our relationships as transactions, looking at them as “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” affiliations in which we count both the cost and the reward: looking to balance the books with others. The problem with that is, well, there are two problems with that — first we can too easily exclude others if we think they are of no value to us, and second, we can also begin to view our relationship with God as a quid pro quo, you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours arrangement. So in this parable, Jesus who came to teach us about the Kingdom of God among other things, is using this parable to declare that quid pro quo thinking is not how the kingdom of God works. And here’s a reason why. How do you measure or calculate repayment of love, of mercy? If we begin to think we can, then we have to forget that our beliefs about faith and discipleship are based in the claims about who we think God is. In other words, if we insist that our faith, our salvation, is dependent upon an equal rate of exchange between God and us, then what does that say about the kind of God we believe in? And if God is balancing our books, what happens if we don’t measure up? Also what makes us think we can quantify, that we can place a value on, the grace of God? There’s another danger too in thinking our relationship with God is quid pro quo, we will then start thinking our ministry also, is quid pro quo. No! Ministry is about life – a thriving, joyful life, for our congregation, for our neighbors, for me and for each one of you. Because the very essence of God is life, is creation – God has the power and authority to give and grant life. What God does can’t be justified using the same measures our culture uses to justify its activities. We ask questions in our daily lives to gauge the value of our ventures, to keep score. Are we getting a good return on our investments, are we getting the biggest bang for our buck? But ministry is not about keeping score, Ministry is about giving life, it’s about growing the Kingdom of God. When Jesus went to that dinner and looked at the table; he noticed people choosing the places of honor, and what he saw was life diminishing, not life giving — honor, respect, disgrace and humiliation were the scorecards in use, not life, mercy, grace and love. The table is a place where food is eaten — food, which itself is life giving, and food can add joy to our life, to everyone’s life. But in that honor and shame society of the first century, the table was a place where life was sustained for some, but diminished for others, diminished for the likes of the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, those who were left out; those who were unable to compete in a quid pro quo culture. And the truth is, in the 21st century, we too live in a quid pro quo culture. A “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch your back” culture where those who can’t compete are left out. Their lives are diminished. There is so much in our lives that is life diminishing, life taking. Just yesterday in Texas there was another mass killing — at least 5 dead. So far this year, through eight months, there have been 25 mass killings, just over 3 per month. That’s approaching one per week. But those aren’t the only things diminishing and taking life — there’s addiction, poverty, disease, loneliness, bullying, hatred, fear, food insecurity and so very, very many more. There is quite the scorecard for things diminishing, taking away life. Jesus calls us to do better, Jesus calls us to do things that are life giving not life diminishing. He calls us to power our ministry not with the quid pro quo mindset we find in our culture, but with the love God has placed in our hearts. Jesus calls us to feed where our culture produces hunger, to clothe where our culture makes naked, to heal wherever we find the sick, to visit those who are lonely, to love where our culture encourages us to hate, to include those our culture casts out.

    1: Lead A Normal Life “My family arrived in this country from Spain at the time of the Armada, and the story goes we were adopted by Cornish peasants . .” Peter Gabriel, 1974 “My dad is an electrical engineer, inventor type, reserved, shy, analytical, and my mum’s more instinctive, she responds by the moment – music is her big thing. And I’ve got both.” Peter Gabriel, 2000 HEN Peter Gabriel spoke of rather trusting a ‘country man than a Wtown man’ in Genesis’ 1974 song ‘The Chamber Of 32 Doors’, he could well have been talking about his own roots. For in his 63 years (at the time of writing), Gabriel has spent less than a decade living in a city. Although he keeps a residence in West London, Gabriel lives in rustic splendour at his home by his Real World studios in Box near Bath in Wiltshire, which echoes the rural idyll of his childhood in the Surrey countryside. The physical roots of his life could be a metaphor for his semi-detached relationship with showbusiness; near enough, yet far away. Surrey is less than an hour from London and his residence now is less than 15 minutes from the bustling city centre of Bath. He can get into the middle of things easily when he needs to, yet he remains far enough removed. It is not dissimilar to his relationship with the mainstream of popular music. Whenever Gabriel has neared the big time (or indeed, ‘Big Time’, his 1986 hit single) he has been there just enough to receive acclaim and at times, stellar sales, before retreating back to the anonymous comfort of the margins.

  • Peter Gabriel by W Ill Hermes
    Peter Gabriel By W ill Hermes The multifaceted performer has spent nearly forty years as a solo artist and music innovator. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PETER GABRIELS: THE PROG rocker who steered the cosmos-minded genre toward Earth; the sem i- new waver more focused on empathic storytelling and musical inno­ vation than fashion or attitude; the Top Forty hitmaker ambivalent about the spotlight; the global activist whose Real World label and collaborations introduced pivotal non-Western acts to new audiences; the elder statesman inspiring a new generation of singer-songwrit­ ers. ^ So his second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a solo act this time - his first, in 2010, was as cofounder of the prog-pop juggernaut Genesis - seems wholly earned. Yet it surprised him, especially since he was a no-show that first time: The ceremony took place two days before the notorious perfectionist began a major tour. “I would’ve gone last time if I had not been about to perform,” Gabriel (b. February 13,1950) explained. “I just thought, 1 can’t go. We’d given ourselves very little rehearsal time.’” ^ “It’s a huge honor,” he said of his inclusions, noting that among numerous Grammys and other awards, this one is distinguished ‘because it’s more for your body of work than a specific project.” ^ That body of work began with Genesis, named after the young British band declined the moniker of “Gabriel’s Angels.” They produced their first single (“The Silent Sun”) in the winter of 1968, when Gabriel was 17.

    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article ‘You Scratch My Back and I’ll Scratch Yours’? Support to Academics Who Are Carers in Higher Education Marie-Pierre Moreau * and Murray Robertson School of Education and Social Care, Faculty of Health, Education, Medicine and Social Care, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge CB1 1PT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 29 May 2019 Abstract: In recent years, it has become common for individuals to juggle employment and unpaid care work. This is just as true for the England-based academic workforce, our focus in this article. We discuss how, in the context of English Higher Education, support for carers is enacted and negotiated through policies and practices of care. Our focus on academics with a diverse range of caring responsibilities is unusual insofar as the literature on care in academia is overwhelmingly concerned with parents, usually mothers. This article is informed primarily by critical and post-structuralist feminist perspectives. We draw on a corpus of 47 interviews conducted with academics representing a broad range of caring responsibilities, subjects, and positions. A thematic analysis reveals how carers’ relationship with the provision and policies of care support at an institutional level is characterised by ambivalence. On the one hand, participants approve of societal and institutional policy support for carers. On the other hand, they are often reluctant to position themselves as the beneficiary of such policies, expressing instead a general preference for support from outside the workplace or for workplace-based inter-individual and informal care arrangements.
