April 26, 2020 Livestream Worship St. Paul April 26, 2020 Livestream worship St. Paul Lutheran Church Beloit, Wisconsin www.stpaulbeloit.org Worship Bulletin 1 GATHERING – The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God. PRELUDE MUSIC WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP Pastor: Alleluia! Christ is risen! People: Christ is risen indeed – Alleluia! CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS Written by Greg Scheer (www.gregscheer.com) and accessed on the re:Worship blog (re-worship.blogspot.com.) Pastor: Christ has risen and we have risen to new life with him. Yet we must confess the ways we have continued to remain in our tombs of sin and death. Silence is kept for reflection. Pastor: Living Lord, People: when we stand before the empty tomb, we don’t always feel the joy of resurrection. We feel fear, doubt, and distrust. We feel empty. Forgive the fear that paralyzes us at the brink of new life. Forgive our doubt of your love. Forgive our distrust of your surprising, joyous plan. Fill our emptiness with your glorious light. Raise us to abundant new life for the glory of your name. Pastor: Wake up, sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Siblings in the family of God, Christ has ☩ forgiven our sins. Christ calls us to new life. Christ will lead us into righteousness. People: Amen. 2 KYRIE Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) – Setting 8 PRAYER OF THE DAY Pastor: Let us pray. God of the gathering feast, you walk with us on the road filled with shadows. Burn our hearts with the living flame of Scripture. Open the eyes of our faith, that we may see Jesus in the broken fragments, in his redeeming work. He is the One who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. All: Amen. 3 WORD – God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song. FIRST READING: 1 PETER 1:17-23 The imagery of exile is used to help the readers of this letter understand that they are strangers in a strange land. Christians no longer belong to this age. Through the death of Christ we belong to God, so that our focus, faith, and hope are no longer on such things as silver or gold. 17 Since you call upon a Father who judges all people according to their actions without favoritism, you should conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your dwelling in a strange land. 18 Live in this way, knowing that you were not liberated by perishable things like silver or gold from the empty lifestyle you inherited from your ancestors. 19 Instead, you were liberated by the precious blood of Christ, like that of a flawless, spotless lamb. 20 Christ was chosen before the creation of the world, but was only revealed at the end of time. This was done for you, 21 who through Christ are faithful to the God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory. So now, your faith and hope should rest in God. 22 As you set yourselves apart by your obedience to the truth so that you might have genuine affection for your fellow believers, love each other deeply and earnestly. 23 Do this because you have been given new birth—not from the type of seed that decays but from seed that doesn’t. This seed is God’s life- giving and enduring word. Word of God, word of life. People: Thanks be to God. GOSPEL: LUKE 24:13-35 The colorful story of Jesus’ appearance to two disciples on the road to Emmaus answers the question of how Jesus is to be recognized among us. Here, he is revealed through the scriptures and in the breaking of bread. The holy gospel according to St. Luke. 13 On that same day [when Jesus had appeared to Mary Magdalene], two disciples were traveling to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking to each other about everything that had happened. 15 While they were discussing these things, Jesus himself arrived and joined them on their journey. 16 They were prevented from recognizing him. 17 He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk along?” They stopped, their faces downcast. 18 The one named Cleopas replied, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who is unaware of the things that have taken place there over the last few days?” 19 He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth. Because of his powerful deeds and words, he was recognized by God and all the people as a prophet. 20 But our chief priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him. 21 We had hoped he was the one who would redeem Israel. All these things happened three days 4 ago. 22 But there’s more: Some women from our group have left us stunned. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 and didn’t find his body. They came to us saying that they had even seen a vision of angels who told them he is alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women said. They didn’t see him.” 25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! Your dull minds keep you from believing all that the prophets talked about. 26 Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” 27 Then he interpreted for them the things written about himself in all the scriptures, starting with Moses and going through all the Prophets. 28 When they came to Emmaus, he acted as if he was going on ahead. 29 But they urged him, saying, “Stay with us. It’s nearly evening, and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 After he took his seat at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts on fire when he spoke to us along the road and when he explained the scriptures for us?” 33 They got up right then and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and their companions gathered together. 34 They were saying to each other, “The Lord really has risen! He appeared to Simon!” 35 Then the two disciples described what had happened along the road and how Jesus was made known to them as he broke the bread. Pastor: This is the Gospel of our Lord. People: Praise to you, O Christ.

For the faith forming ministries of this church. For those who participate in Believers’ Club, Confirmation, and adult education; for those prayerfully considering membership or other steps of faith; for all those learning to seek you in new ways in this new season of quarantine; guide and inspire disciples of every age and ability. Lord, in your mercy, People: hear our prayer. Create in our hearts a yearning to rest in your promise of eternal and resurrected life. Give us thankful hearts for those who have died, even as we look forward to the hope of new life with you. Lord, in your mercy, People: hear our prayer. With bold confidence in your love, almighty God, we place all for whom we pray into your eternal care; through Christ our Lord. All: Amen. 7 LORD’S PRAYER PASTOR: Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us. All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

    Pygmalion meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer Pygmalion and Popular Culture: Paula James Commentary: Dr Paula James is Senior Lecturer in Classical Studies at the Open University. Her research interests include the retellings of myth, and particularly the Pygmalion myth in popular culture. Paula: I thought with the episode ‘I Was Made to Love You’ that Warren creating robot girlfriend April for his private use and pleasure was a lovely kind of direct retelling of the myth of Pygmalion in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. There are differences obviously, but just in the very main storyline there is April, a beautiful girl who just seems to be there for private consumption for Warren, but she actually gets launched out into the local community and then interesting things start to happen. So although it’s a retelling for me of the Pygmalion myth, it’s also a kind of a ‘what if’, what if the statue in Pygmalion had a choice and had a voice, what might have happened? Commentary: And observing the parallels and the contrasts with Pygmalion sharpens our perception of both the original myth and its retelling. Paula: I think that April has all the poignancy that we would feel the statue would have if she could speak to us in Ovid. April is pretty. She’s perfect in a sense that she’s the perfect girlfriend. She utters words like ‘good girlfriends don’t cry’. She’s obviously something that her creator, Warren, thinks is going to satisfy his every need but, in fact, doesn’t in the storyline of the Buffy episode.

  • Slayage, Number 7: Spicer
    Arwen Spicer “Love’s Bitch but Man Enough to Admit It”: Spike’s Hybridized Gender [1] The transgression (or lack thereof) of conventional gender roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a recurrent theme in Buffy criticism. Zoe-Jane Playdon argues that Buffy challenges traditionally masculine definitions of autonomy by developing empowering models of community-based action (138). In contrast, Farah Mendlesohn points to the limits of the show’s transgressiveness, exploring the mechanisms through which a queer reading of the Buffy/Willow relationship is systematically denied. I take up this theme of gender transgression through the particular instance of Spike. Though Spike initially appears as a strongly masculine character, I argue that he crosses the boundaries of conventional gender identifications, enacting a hybridized identity that is simultaneously coded masculine and feminine. While Spike’s feminization becomes a locus of disempowerment for his character at various times, I suggest that it is his very liminality--the impossibility of consigning him to a predetermined gender category--that empowers him in the Buffyverse, enabling him to navigate the complex gender inversions that mark a community oriented around a heroic, female Slayer. [2] As the field of gender studies increasingly distances itself from essentialism, its focus has shifted to the ideological construction of gender. In the words of Judith Butler, “There is no gender identity behind the expression of gender: that identity is performatively constituted by the very ‘expressions’ that are said to be its results” (qtd. in Weir 214). Instead of being a passive category into which one is born, gender becomes a continuous personal activity that can either subvert or reproduce dominant ideologies--and often does both within the sphere of a single individual’s actions.

    Pygmalion meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer From Pygmalion to Buffy: re-interpreting myth I’m Paula James. I lecture in the Classical Studies Department of the Open University. In A330 I talk about a particular episode in Season 5 of a TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, created by Joss Whedon, and I link what’s going on in this particular episode with the myth of Pygmalion from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Book 10. The way Ovid tells the Pygmalion myth, on first reading it seems fairly straightforward. For many years commentators assumed it was a story of artistry and piety rewarded. Pygmalion sculpts a beautiful ivory statue to be his perfect partner. Pygmalion creates the statue, prays to the goddess Venus for a wife like it, and the statue comes to life under his embrace and his touching. They then marry, one presumes, she certainly is immediately impregnated by Pygmalion, and presumably from then on at this beck and call, the kind of subordinate wife one would expect in the context of Ancient Greece since actually this whole story is set in Cyprus. So we have a fairly uncomplicated view of Pygmalion initially, and then we start to wonder about this story because the descendant of the statue falls in love with her father and fools him into having an incestuous relationship with her, and then you start rethinking about Pygmalion making love to his creation, and the whole narrative or the whole story, or the whole myth, becomes just a little bit more tacky. Buffy the Vampire Slayer started life as an interesting, but not entirely successful, film in the 1990’s and then Joss Whedon, its creator, got the chance to realise this very original idea he had had about a little blonde teenager being a vampire slayer, by having a whole TV series and it actually ran for seven seasons from the late 1990’s to early in the 21st century.

  • Dopple-‐Gay-‐Ngland
    Dopple-Gay-ngland A Comparative Discussion of the Medieval Character Archetype as Literary Therapy for the Underprivileged Queer Community Andrew Hamlin Abstract Upon primary examination of the depiction of gender roles in medieval literature, particularly the role of women in certain discourses, character types may seem to reinforce typical gender roles. However, upon closer examination, specific examples of a non-hegemonic discourse may be found. This project argues that the non-normative gender roles of female characters in medieval literature, chiefly The Wife of Bath from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, should be seen as an allegorical solution to the present day rash of LGBT suicides. This article is framed by highlighting specific moments in medieval literature in which these characters upend traditional gender and class roles. The author analyzes medieval texts and their present-day incarnations in popular shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, suggesting that LGBT youth may use these characters to seek solace from feelings of isolation and depression. By linking medieval texts and their present day representations, this author fashions a transformative discourse that aims to resist normative constructions of gender and sexuality, helping LGBT youth to do the same. Many, at first, may find the launch of my motivation to be a bit macabre, but I feel confident in saying that I have personally been inspired by the Werther Effect. This phenomenon of contagious human behaviors being copied by individuals for self preserving or destructive purposes was coined in reference to the mass number of copycat suicides replicating the suicide committed by Werther in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther.

For more information, please contact a ValpoScholar staff member at [email protected]. Frankel: Why Do Villains Insist on a Ring? The twist of Harry Potter’s Mirror of Erised is that the only person worthy enough to claim the Philosopher’s Stone hidden within is one who doesn’t desire to use it but is driven to protect it from the villain’s dreams of eternal life and soaring power. This is also the key to Tolkien’s epic: ringbearers Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and even Gollum are (somewhat) protected from the ring because they don’t seek world domination. This theme is also heavily present in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These fantasy creators, it seems, differentiate their heroes from villains through the defining trait of greed: resisting temptation or gleefully succumbing to it.
