Pax Et Bonum 2018 September Pax et Bonum 2018 A NEWSLETTER FOR ST. FRANCIS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH From the Interim Rector As I write this article, I am coming up on one month serving as your Interim Rector at St. Francis.’ I think that I have done about all of my firsts now: first eucharist, first vestry meeting, first food pantry, first service at Laguna Honda. It is a privilege to take on these ministries and to serve with you on these committees and in prayer and worship. I look forward to the Parish Retreat coming up in September and the opportunity for refreshment and community-building. I have been thinking a lot about what it means for us to be the community gathered in this particular place at this particular time. In the coming months we will be looking more intentionally at these kinds of questions as we get a better picture of who we are and where we are, what we have to offer to the city and beyond in Christ’s name. With a guiding theme of journey, I have three areas of concentration for the coming months. First, I hope we can update and centralize our data bases. Knowing who is here, and those in our community feeling known is a priority. I would appreciate a centralized and accessible record of this community, hoping to improve communications and our ability to care for each other. Second, I want to focus on stewardship—what we have been given, what has been entrusted to our care, and how we give thanks for the resources we have been given. Third, I would like to begin steps in the search for the next rector—starting to organize a calling committee and having preliminary conversations about our journey forward. I am in the office most days Monday through Thursday from 10 am to 4 pm. I hope that you will stop by or make an appointment. I look forward to getting to know each of you as we journey forward together. In peace, Christine + ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 9am Coffee Hour Volunteers: Ken Quandt, Norma Young, Sr. Ruth Hall, Morag Hall, Daniel Rosenberry 11am Coffee Hour Volunteers: Melinda Lee, Alice and John Gates, Carol Thollander, Carol Fine, Gregg and Lisa Napoli, Beverly Popek and Pat Ho-a-Yun, Kevin and Susan Reamy, Sally Oh, Debbie Jasso, Christina Stephen, the Dick family, Meighan Merono, Francis and David Kriegh, Leanne DeSalles Laguna Honda Volunteers: Bill and Fran Rounds, Wendy Dwyer, Paul Pearson, and Ken Quandt Office Volunteers: Ed Splichal, Anita Jackson, Sally Young, Richard Young, Bob Powell, Dale Richard Hearing Anew Through Alternative Creeds The Interim Rector The Nicene Creed, or known by its full name the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381 stands as the central liturgical affirmation of faith in Christendom. Formed in the crucible of theological conflict, the creed affirms many tenets of the faith while refuting many others. In Anglicanism it is regarded as one of the three major creeds, along with the Apostles’ Creed and the Athanasian Creed. Creeds usually arise in times when heresy threatens a new, emerging or vulnerable faith tradition. At the time of the formulation of the Nicene Creed, the church was trying to distinguish itself from a new, emerging Judaism and from various sects of Gnostic and alternative forms of Christianity. The Nicene Creed became the orthodox confession of the church, which is to say the “correct” or “right” belief. It is no mistake that the creed begins with the words “We believe….” Not only was it a personal affirmation, but, more importantly, it was a corporate statement of faith. In this way, it acted as a kind of skeletal foundation upon which all other faith claims could be hung. In this way, too, it serves as an aspirational script. When one recites this creed they proclaim the faith of the church and not necessarily their personal belief. Indeed, the creed provides an orientation, a context, the content and the aspiration for belief. In the coming months, we will explore alternative forms of the creed. These alternatives come from trial liturgies, from other denominations and from other communities of worship. Many of these affirmations of faith have been approved for use as the church seeks to keep worship enlivened and meaningful. We will be experimenting with different forms as a way of hearing our faith claims in refreshed language which draws on the wealth of biblical imagery. In each case, we will strive to keep the spirit of the claim while exploring alternative ways of articulating it. At the heart of our Christian tradition lies the importance of word. We say that how we pray shapes our belief. Likewise, our belief shapes the way we pray. As we experiment with new words in our creed, I hope you will open yourself to the ways in which the words shape your belief and to the ways the words take shape in your practice.

When: Godly Play begins Sunday, September 9, 10:00am - approx. 10:45am (students will be brought into the church service during communion) What: Our children’s program is Godly Play: based on the Montessori method of learning for students in Kindergarten – 3rd Grade. Different and much more than just “Sunday School,” Godly Play encourages children to use their imagination, sense of wonder, and connection to their world as they learn about sacred Christian stories. A typical Godly Play Session has several short, structured activities. Some of the core activities include listening to sacred stories by a storyteller and “play” afterwards. Children may play with story sets, create art, or participate in other activities. A Prayer and reflection circle is the closing activity. We also have special days in the program where children create craft projects around St. Francis Day, Dia de los Muertos, the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and various other opportunities for learning throughout the year. In December, the children’s program performs the story of Jesus’ birth at the St. Francis’ Family Service on Christmas Eve. How: Bring your child to the Godly Play room, across from the Nursery on the south end of the courtyard by 9:55 am on Sundays. No prior registration necessary. If you are interested in volunteering to host a project or would like to be a storyteller, we would love to hear from you. For more information or to lead a Godly Play class, contact: Amy Cole-Farrell [email protected] 650.649.8577 Parish Workday The Facilities Committee will host a parish workday on the morning of Saturday, September 15 from 9 am-12 pm. Bring gardening tools, as we will have some exterior projects. Donuts will be provided for the hearty volunteers who come and work. 3 The Faces of St. Francis' Janet Giannini St. Francis' has welcomed a number of new folks to our community recently, including our Interim Rector, Christine Trainor. So that we can all get better acquainted, the Membership Committee hopes you will partici- pate in our new project, “Getting to Know You.” Here’s how: • Take a “photo frame paper” [see below] home with you (available in the back of the sanctuary). • Find or take a photo you like (individual or household group). • Attach it to the photo frame paper (double-stick tape or glue work fine). • Write the names of your household members and something about them, if you wish. Return it to church and put it in the designated box in the back of the sanctuary. Look for the “Getting to Know You” display boards in the back of the Parish Hall. Questions? Talk to Janet Giannini or Carol Thollander. Morag Hall A dog who helps with coffee hour after the . 8 a.m. service - mostly by eating the food! Long Range Planning Committee Convened and led ably by Fizzy Fyfe, the Long-range Planning Committee of St. Francis’ has begun meeting regularly. The committee is concerned with devising and implementing strategies to ensure the parish’s continuity, sustainability, and overall health in the immediate years and decades to come. Fizzy Fyfe, Kate Kassuba, Bob Powell, Kevin Reamy, and Christine Trainor serve as the core members and will be tapping others to help them generate a vision and the implementation of a plan. They will work in conjunction with other key committees: Vestry, Membership and Parish Life, Fundraising, Finance, Stewardship, and Facilities. As a shorter term goal, this committee seeks to close the current income gap in the coming program year. Please speak to these members with your ideas. They will meet again September 30. 4 A RECIPE FROM WENDY DWYER IMPOSSIBLE QUESADILLA PIE Thank you for your enjoyment of my Mom's recipe that was served at the August 12th, 2018 Fellowship hour, and the request to publish it! It was one of my Mom's favorites and I still have it lovingly written down on her 3 x 5 recipe index card. What is interesting is that it is neither impossible, nor a quesadilla – nor even a pie! 1 can (8oz) chopped green chilies, drain 4 cups (16 oz) shredded cheddar cheese, 2 cups milk, 1 cup heart healthy bisquick baking mix, 4 eggs, 4 sliced zucchinis, a bunch of asparagus, chopped finely into bits but save the spears. Lightly oil an 11" x 8" casserole pan, sprinkle cheese and chilies evenly. Layer the zucchini slices and asparagus bits on top of the cheese and chilies. Blend eggs, milk and bisquick in a blender for 1 minute or until smooth.

One must recite the Rosary every day, and also the Rosary of the Seven PRESIDENT’S Sorrows of Mary, to obtain the favor of repentance.” In his decree on the apparitions COLUMN issued on June 29th, 2001, Bishop Augustin Misago By Bruce G. of Gikongoro, Rwanda, in part states: “It was the visionary Marie Claire Mukangango who brought it back again as she received the mission to teach the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows by the Blessed Virgin Unity of Hearts Devotion Mary of Kibeho. After an intensive research the ad “You must contemplate the Heart of My Mother, as hoc commissions have still not found any evidence you contemplate My own; live in that Heart as you that Marie Claire knew this rosary before the wish to live in Mine; give yourself to that Heart as you beginning of the apparitions. This rosary deserves to give yourself to Mine; spread the love of Her Heart be renewed and spread in the Church. However, this which is wholly united to Mine.” – Jesus, to Venerable prayer does not replace the Holy Rosary.

  • Rev. Lilienthal 14 December 2018 I Want to Express Appreciation That
    ANSWERING A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT WORSHIP Rev. Lilienthal 14 December 2018 I want to express appreciation that these questions were actually brought to me, rather than allowed to fester and cause disruption in the Church. St. Paul wrote to St. Timothy, “Remind [the people] of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers…. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels” (2 Tim. 2:14, 23). When we refer to things that are a matter of choice or tradition, things neither commanded nor forbidden in Scripture, we call these things “adiaphora” (AH-dee-ah-for-ah). The form of worship (or liturgy) as well as the hymns, the rites and ceremonies, the vestments and paraments and church decorations and furniture, are all just such adiaphora. However, using the term “adiaphora” does not mean we should be indifferent about such things. Calling a thing “adiaphoron” is the beginning of the conversation. Once a thing is determined to be adiaphoron, it is the responsibility of the church to decide the best way to do a thing, so that God’s Word and Sacraments may be given central importance in communicating Christ and his grace to the people of God. For this purpose, the office of the pastoral ministry is put in place, to lead the congregation by preaching the Word and administering the Sacraments. When questions are asked about “why” a thing is done a certain way, it is important for the Pastor to be able to answer that question.

  • The Kiss of Peace
    Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 19 THE KISS OF PEACE JUNE 2014 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. The Kiss of Peace: Abstract The Kiss of Peace or Pax, in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, before the Agnus Dei, in its fullest form in Missa Solemnis, involves the celebrant kissing the Altar, and passing the Peace of Christ from Christ, represented by the Altar and the Consecrated Host upon the Altar, to the other Sacred Ministers, and others in the Sanctuary, with a light embrace.
