/oi. 29 — No. 2 March, 1959

T^HE Christian faith can be known only from the inside. The moment you say "I believe in God," you become involved; if you do not become involved, you do not mean what you say.

How evident this is at Easter time! There were no curious spectators at the Resurrection: Our Lord made no general public appearances. He showed Himself alive to those who believed in Him, and those who believed in Him knew they were raised to new life with Him.

So it is with us. When we believe that Christ rose from the dead we are caught up with Him into a different kind of life from what we knew before, we are made partakers of His resurrection. A Christian has working in him that same power of God which raised Jesus from the dead.

How desperately we stand in need of that transforming power today. We need it in our own lives to give us faith and patience and courage. We need it working through us to bring order and justice and unity to our world. And that resurrection power is at hand! That's what Easter tells us: it is here. That power, of course, is not

just for us. In fact, it cannot work in us unless it works through us. The power of Christ's resurrection drives us to be workers for freedom and brotherhood in His name.

To be a partaker of His resurrection is necessarily to be a witness to His saving power. Arthur Lichtenberger Presiding Bishop THE PflmR5flN^CHg;0LMBpYg HENRY E. COLTON

Tf you go to the office, or the store, or the farm, rather than

go to Church Sunday morning; if you buy a new car every year or so, and pledge ^1.00 a week to the support of the church; if you go on long vacations and don't pay your pledge to the

Church; if you say that the Church is always asking for money, and you don't give anyway, then the dollar sign is the symbol of your real god.

If you have company, if you play golf, if you stay in bed when It's raining, if you go fishing, if you loaf about the house — if you

do these things rather than go to Church Sunday morning . . . if you stay away from Church because you do not like the music, or sermon, or priest, or somebody who goes regularly — if you let these things keep you away from Church, then "I" is the symbol of your real god.

If you "worship God every Sunday in His Church," and if you

say your prayers morning and night and grace at meals, if you fast on Fridays and before making your communion, if you regu-

yi LMIGHTY GOD, who hast given us this good land for our

heritage; we humbly beseech thee that we may always prove

ourselves a people mindful of tliy favor and glad to do thy will.

Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure

manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride

and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties and

fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out

of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom

those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of govern-

ment, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that

through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts

with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble suffer not our trust

m thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

HE people who first heard the words, 'To you is this born day in the City of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord," knew those words were spoken to them. Christ had come to deliver them. Now, centuries later, the word of Christmas is spoken to us in our time. We do not have to strain to hear the message; we do not look back over nineteen centuries to the figure of a great man who once lived. Christ was born in Palestine centuries ago. but He is not a prisoner of that particular time and place. He is born anew this day in the hearts of those who receive Him.

This is the great Christmas wish: "Cast out our sin and enter m, be born in us today." This is an ever encouraging hope even in most discouraging times.

Without this expectation our Christmas observance is only a passing sentiment, a temporary softening of the heart at the appeal of what is called "The Christmas Spirit." Gaity surely belongs to Christmas time. But Christmas is also a time of awful solemnity: God has entered the life of this world. He is here now, at hand are We not left to our own resources; we are not called to create peace and good will, but to make the good will and peace of God our own. So will the light of Christ shine forth in our lives and in the world's darkness. i ' Arthur Lichtenberger Presiding Bishop ^

6 ;^r January 1960 Dear Churchmen: Our Convention last May in Gastonia unanimously approved a Deanery Plan for the Diocese to become effective January 1, 1960. This Plan takes the place of the old Convocation system and I believe has much more to commend it as a means of making you more informed and active in the program of the Diocese. Since the Diocese, not the local parish or mission, is the unit of operation in our Church, this means that in a very important way, you are an Episcopalian in so far as your interest and participation in the Church's life carries you beyond your own parish or mission. Up until now, I don't believe the Diocese has provided you with an adequate opportunity to do this. As your Bishop, may I urge you to support the Deanery Plan and help us build a stronger Diocesan consciousness and program whereby we can become a more effective means in promoting our Christian life and faith in Western North Carolina. These questions and answers have been prepared to inform you as to how the Deanery Plan works. May I count on you to read them carefully and do your part as a responsible Churchman? Faithfully, M. GEORGE HENRY Questions and Answers

What is a Deanery? A Deanery is a geographical area of the Diocese, roughly 40 miles in radius, and is comprised of all churches and their members in that area. How many Deaneries are there? Seven. What is the purpose?

1. To have better lines of communication between your Bishop, the Diocese and its program with each member of the local church. 2. To coordinate the work of the Divisions of Men, Women and Youth within a certain area. 3. To consider challenges and opportunities — such as the starting of new missions — peculiar to your area. 4. To get wider and more democratic representation on the Executive Council which runs the affairs of the Diocese between conventions. Each Deanery elects one clergyman and two lay persons to represent it on the council. 5. To afford an opportunity for Departments of the Diocese such as Edu- cation, Missions, Promotion, etc., to present their program to the people of the Diocese. 6. To reduce the number of meetings people are asked to attend by having both a joint meeting of Men, Women and Youth and allowing an opportunity for them to have their separate meetings on the same day and same place.

7. To broaden the fellowship and experience of corporate worship with congregations of other churches in your area. Who is eligible to attend a Deanery meeting? Everyone. It is not necessary to be a member of your local Men, Women or Youth groups to be eligible. Who runs the Deanery? The Dean, who is appointed by the Bishop and is a clergyman resident in the Deanery. What are his duties? 1. To plan the program of the joint session of the men, women and youth at the Deanery meeting in consultation with his Executive Board made up of the presidents of the Men, Women and Youth organizations within his area. 2. To be the Bishop's representative in his Deanery. 3. To meet with the clergy in his Deanery monthly except July and August. 4. To arrange services for vacant cures in his Deanery. 5. To approve all meetings in his Deanery that involve two churches or more. 6. To approve all programs and projects that involve more than one church in his Deanery. 7. To supervise the mission clergy in his Deanery. 8. To meet periodically with the Bishop to advise him of the welfare of his Deanery and consult with him about the program of the Diocese. How many meetings a year does the Deanery have? Two. One in the spring and one in the fall. Are meetings held in the same Church every year? Not necessarily. They can be held at any church located in the Deanery. Who decides where? The Dean with his Executive Board and clergy. Is the Deanery Plan original with this Diocese? No. It is being used in several Dioceses. The plan we have, with certain changes, is working successfully in the Diocese of West Virginia, Can, for example, the Division of Women have a meeting separate and in addition to the twice yeairly meetings they have with the rest of the Deanery? Yes. Such a meeting should be checked out with the Dean first to avoid conflicts of date, etc.

When will the first Deanery meeting take place? In the spring before May 1st on a Sunday afternoon and evening, the exact time and place to be determined by Dean and Executive Board.

How will I be notified? Through your local minister, church bulletin and Highland Churchman.

What kind of program and schedule will there be at those Deanery Meetings? Time will be allowed for: 1. Joint sessions to consider matters of general interest. 2. Men, Women and Youth to have their own meetings for business and program. 3. A corporate worship service. 4. Picnic supper optional. The exact scheduling and program for the joint session will be determined by Dean and Executive Board.

I Can very young children attend?

Check with your Dean to see what, if any, nursery service will be available.

Does the Deanery Plan take the place of anything? Yes, the Convocation Plan.

Does it usurp the autonomy of the Divisions of Men, Women and Youth?

No. It only coordinates them better.

Why have any more meetings?

The Deanery Plan does not add any more meetings for the laiety to the Diocesan calendar — the convocations met twice a year. However, it does mean more meetings for clergy who meet monthly with their Deans.

Will this plan work?

Yes, if the clergy and people support it.

OTHING is more remarkable about the beginning of the new year than the obvious fact that nothing begins then. Yet New Year's Eve forms a secular feast of some importance; much hard work and expense goes into the determined gaiety of the occasion. Why, then, does the slow process of seconds through that last minute of the year excite even the dullest mind with a sense of triumph.^ For a reason at once clear and sad: the moment marks the hope for a new beginning, a record still un- marred by failure, a diary still unspoiled by trivia. In that first instant of the year, each man can think himself a saint, and the relentless tarnish-

ing of his halo is not yet noticeable. So strong

is the hunger for perfection in us that we must celebrate the very thought of it, for who can wait for the milleniumr Nevertheless, let no man take from us this midnight dreaming:to such people as we are, in this very season, the Eternal came, and all our dreams received in an instant the possibility of fulfillment. So the year moves us toward Lent, and thus to Easter.

The Official Publication of the Diocese of Western North Carolina hi 30 — No. 3 ^%^^i April, 1960 <6 ^?^

ICTORl is the word for Easter. "Fought the fight, the battle won. Alleluia." The battleground on which our Lord's victory was won is very familiar -- to us; it is this actual world in which we live and die. God's victory in Christ was won here. He triumphed over every enemy of man and therefore his victory affects every kmd of human experience. It has to do with everything we do, with all we are, with all there is.

Our battle certainly is not over, but we can be confident of the outcome through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is why Christianity is Good News. The Church does not point us to Christ and say, "There is a great and good man, his teachings will help you, his graciousness will make you all good friends; follow him as best you can." That is not Good News. How can anyone who knows his own frailty, who is aware of our pre- carious situation at this point in history, believe that good advice, even Christ's good advice, can save us. The Christian Gospel is not "Listen to Jesus and do your best," but "Jesus Christ, the power of God to salvation, for everyone who has faith." We can share in Christ's victory on one condition: That also we share in the cost. The cost is death to self-seeking ways, the victory is to be raised with Christ to a new life now^ Then we show by what we are that Christ is Lord of all.

The Official Piiblication of the Diocese of Western North Carolina bl. 30 — No. 4 00^ May, 1960

LMIGHTY and everlasting God, who by thy Holy Spirit didst preside in the Coun-

cil of the blessed Apostles, and hast promised, through thy Son Jesus Christ, to be with thy Church to the end of the world; We beseech thee to be with the Council of thy Church here assembled in thy Name and Presence. Save us

from all error, ignorance, pride, and prejudice; and of thy great mercy vouchsafe, we beseech thee, so to direct, sanctify, and govern us in our work, by the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, that the com- fortable Gospel of Christ may be truly preached,

truly received, and truly followed, in all places, to the breaking down of the kingdom of sin, Satan, and death; till at length the whole of thy dispersed sheep, being gathered into one fold, shall become

partakers of e\'erlasting life ; through the merits and death of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

But, it can be done, unless— . Here's the full story:

Three persons, who wish to remain anonymous, have offered to give $3,000 to Appalachian School, provided that the members of the Diocese match it with a similar contribution.

Deadline for getting this matching amount is October 1.

The money would be used to buy books and other school supplies and to supplement teachers' salaries at the school.

Any contribution should be sent to Appalachian School, Penland, N. C, and should be marked "Special Fund."

What Has Happened To The Highland Churchman

This Month ?

With the resignation of Hart Snyder who has left the state, and the desire to relieve the future editor of some of the burdens which Mr. Snyder bore as the sole responsible figure for The Churchman, your Department of Promotion will undertake a revision in content and in format of our diocesan publication.

We are most anxious to have any of your thoughts and suggestions as to possible changes. What did you like about the publication and what did you dislike? Do you have any new ideas? It is hoped that when the investigation and experimentation is through. The Highland Churchman will be a more effective medium in presenting the life of the Diocese and also be of greater interest to the reader. In the interim period we are publishing The Churchman in the form of a newsletter and will be grateful for news items from around the Diocese. Please address any news articles, as well as criticisms and suggestions, to The Highland. Churchman, P. Box 2154, Asheville, N. C. We trust this box will be overrun with enthusiastic communications. This is your diocesan publication. We want your ideas. Success At Appalachian School

Due to the generous response of parishes and missions and individuals, the offer of a matching fund of $3,000 by a private donor has been met and oversubscribed. The total sum has been designated for much needed operating expenses such as books and the like. The response has been interpreted as a vote of confidence in the sacrificial work of the Rev. Peter W. Lambert and his staff.

{:. H. C. Litoary In the twenty-second chapter of the Book Ch.-pel Hill, N. C. of Genesis we read the account of God's "testing" of Abraham by His command that he offer his only son Isaac as a burnt offering.

There is real pathos in the story, as we see the trusting little boy go with his father to the appointed place. And we feel real relief as God stays the hand of Abraham just in the nick of time and tells him to offer a ram and living sacrifice" unto Him. Your giving instead. of money is only an indication of your willingness, or unwillingness, to give your self. God had been good to Abraham. He had led him to a land of promise and given him Abraham offered to give his son. God material plenty. And finally He had given gave His.

But God never really wanted the death of Isaac. He wanted the life of Abraham. He let Abraham go through the test of showing that he would offer his own son. Only if he was willing to give all that he had was it clear that he was ready to give himself, his soul and body.

In the 10th Chapter of Mark we read of a rich young man who came to Jesus, desiring to have eternal life. When he passed other tests, Jesus said "You lack one thing; go, and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

A Belated Happy New Year

As you know, the first Sunday in Advent

is the beginning of the Christian Year. With that Sunday we also entered the Christmas cycle in that Advent is the season of preparation for Christmas. The twelve days following Christmas, culminating in The Epi- phany, are the days of festivity and rejoicing. God has fulfilled His promise in the birth of the Christ and through this gift has showed forth His Love to all men.

Actually, The Epiphany, January 6, was the earliest festival of Christ's birth, having originated in the Eastern Church. This date also commemorates the baptism of Christ and the first miracle of Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee. The Western Church, having set December 25 as the Nativity at least a half century later, eventually adopted The Epi- phany as the coming of the wise men to Bethlehem. This we now celebrate as the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as well as the Jews. Thus is the Christmas cycle. We have the proclamation of the Incarnation of God in Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus' identifica- tion with man as is shown in John's baptism of repentence. The power to transform life is symbolized in the changing of water to wine. What does this mean for you and me? That Christ came for us and for all men that

we and they might have life and have it more abundantly. Family Traditions at Christmastide

Every family in the land has certain traditions which are carried out in their homes during the Christmas season. Surely this is one of the reasons that make it so dear and heart-warming to be at home with loved ones, perhaps more than at any other time in the year. No two families do things exactly the same way, so it is interesting to hear of unusual traditions carried out by others. One of the most meaningful parts of everyone's Christmas is often the Christmas Tree, and for one family it has extra meaning. Each year, this family places on the tree a symbol of some important family event of the past, such as a tiny house to symbolize the purchase of a new home, or a small doll for a new baby. Their tree is truly a record of cherished family experiences. Another family makes exciting use throughout the whole year of the Christmas cards they have, received the previous Christmas. After Christmas is over, they put all of their cards into a big box, and each day at family prayer time, they lift a greeting from the box, enjoy

it again, and remember the friend in a special prayer. The love that "came down at Christ- mas" is thus reflected and carried through the whole year.
