Faith, hope and love abide, these three. But the greatest of these is love.

                                                                                                         —1 Corinthians 13:13

Dear Friends:

I have been with you now for a little more than a year. I am deeply thankful for the time we have had together. You are a gift to me for which I am deeply thankful. As I have reflected on our time together, I have become aware that we are entering a new stage in our relationship together that has much to do with the fashioning deeper bonds of  trust and belonging between all of us. This, in turn, has much to do with remaining true to the role of the church in the world and to the particular call of God for St. Andrew.

So I’ve found myself thinking about simplicity—about centering ourselves on those things which cultivate the abundant life of Christ in and through us in the midst of an increasingly distracted, busy, and unfocused world. And I’d like to encourage you over these summer months, to take some leisurely time doing the same. Simplify. Return to the heart of the matter, the heart of God. What is it that is central about who we are, what we do, about our life together as stewards of God’s gifts and presence? What are those essential commitments to which God is inviting you?

As I’ve thought about this lately, Paul’s message to the Corinthians has come to my mind quite a bit—faith, hope and love. As we cultivate the presence of God in our midst, faith, hope and love will flourish. As we are distracted by other agendas, by other gods, these will wither.

Yet it is also true that just as we don’t cause a seed to grow, we cannot magically cause these to appear in our midst. They are gifts of God for the people of God. We play a role—watering, feeding, waiting,—but these are gifts of God’s creation, these are the stuff of resurrection. Our ability to make promises and commitments is dependent on resurrection hope, dependent on the understanding that God’s activity in our lives has surpassed anything we could have imagined.

So as we leave the season of resurrection (Easter) and move into ordinary time, the season of Pentecost and the time of the slow, faithful growth of the kingdom of God, let me invite you to consider some reflections about resurrection from one of my favorite guides, Eugene Peterson, from his newest book Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, that light the path to simplicity.

 

1. For centuries people of faith searched for resurrection, but when it happened it took those who were closest to the event and best prepared totally unawares. We inhabit a mystery. We must not pretend to know too much.

 

2. No one involved in the resurrection appearances did anything to prepare for what actually happened. In fact the religious groups most diligently cultivating messianic expectations missed it entirely. There are no experts. Everyone is a beginner in this business over which we have little control.

 

3. In the resurrection stories, marginal people play a prominent role in perception and response. Mary Magdalene, perhaps the most marginal of any of Jesus’ early followers is the only one to appear in all four accounts. So we need to pay attention to other voices, and not trust celebrity endorsements. The men and women who will be most valuable in cultivating wonder are most likely those on the edge of respectability: the poor and homeless, minorities, the suffering and rejected, artists and poets and children.

 

4. Fear is the most frequently mentioned response to Jesus’ resurrection. And according to Peterson, Fear-of-the-Lord is fear with the scary element deleted—add faith, but don’t necessarily add understanding. We are deep in mystery when we are deep in God.

 

And so faith, hope, and love abide. These three. But the greatest of these (blessed mystery!) is love.

 

 

Grace and Peace to you all,

 

 

 

Divine Diplomacy

The following excerpt is taken from the twice-monthly newsletter Context: Martin E. Marty on Religion and Culture (June, 2005, Part A). It is reprinted with the permission of Reflections (Fall, 2004), the magazine of Yale Divinity School.

 

She made the speech a year ago, but it took a year to find it in print, and we pass on the main themes to you. After declaring in a March 2004 talk at Yale Divinity School, “When a politician starts preaching, I tend to react the same way as when a preacher starts talking politics: I become very wary,” former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright nonetheless eloquently addressed some of the same themes that preachers often address:“

We need to remember that we were not attacked on September 11 by the Muslim world or by the Arab world. We were attacked by individuals belonging to a single ter­rorist group. Their crimes were not about religion because al-Qaeda is no more repre­sentative of Islam than the Ku Klux Klan is of Christianity. . . . ”

 

Now she starts preaching, and, I hope, reaching conscience: “I believe we can unite the world in opposition to the murder of innocent people. But we will never unite the world in support of the idea that Americans have a unique relationship with God or a better understanding of God’s will than do worshipers from other cultures or lands. We all yearn to believe what we want to believe and what makes us feel good to believe. But faith does not always lead to wisdom. And in today’s tinderbox of a world, we had better find a way to start putting out fires instead of lighting new ones.”

 

Albright is capable of surprising as she fills out the cast of char­acters in her drama: “Not long after September 11, I was on a panel with Elie Wiesel. He asked us to name the unhappiest character in the Bible. Some said Job, because of the trials he endured. Some said Moses, because he was denied entry into the Promised Land. Some said Mary, because she witnessed the cruci­fixion of her son. Wiesel said he believed the right answer was God, because of the pain he must surely feel in seeing us fight, kill, and abuse each other in the Lord’s name. . . . ”

 

I guess this next paragraph qualifies as a sermon: “We can hope that God is on our side. But we can only admit, if we are honest, that we fall far short of what God has asked and what our own consciences instruct. Believing as many of us do in a Di­vine Being both merciful and just, we must hope the balance between the two is tilted heavily in the direction of mercy. . . . We may be ensnared by the temptations to use power to dominate, not simply to help; to value American lives more highly than the lives of others; to squander wealth and consume the world’s resources rather than share and be good stewards of the gifts given to us; to stare avidly at frivolous entertain­ments while averting our eyes from suffering; and to boast over and over again how good we are, after being taught that there is none good but one, that is, God.”

 

Here Albright is countercultural and counters much political and church proc­lamation but is not counter to her Bible: “Nations are neither baptized nor promised salvation. But if they were, is it fair to ask whether a rich nation would be comparable to a rich man, no more likely to reach heaven than a camel is to walk through the eye of a needle? We are a generous people. And I have said many, many times that I am proud to be an American. But our country does rank dead last among industrial­ized nations in the proportion of our wealth that we share with the developing world. [Opposing terrorism] is not the end; it is the beginning. Because terrorism is not the world’s only evil. And ex­tremists are not the only ones prone to confuse what is profoundly wrong with something else.

“If we truly care about human life—not simply in our land—we must see that the majority of the world’s people are threatened each day by an ‘axis of evil’ in the form of poverty, ignorance, and disease. These evils cause far more avoidable deaths than terror and are at the root of more anguish and loss of hope. . . .

 

”So she offers elements of a credo, focusing on this italicized one: “Every human being counts. If we truly believe that, reflect upon it, and act upon it as a nation and in our own lives, we will have the basis for unity within our borders and with freedom-loving people around the world. We will take and hold the high ground against the apostles of hate who say murder is pleasing to God. We will steadily erode the legitimacy of dictators and tyrants who claim virtual divinity for themselves. We will live up to our own founding ideals. We will take a small step forward in meeting the demands of religious faith. And we will more fully earn the right to ask—though never demand or simply assume—that God bless America.”

The rugged hills of Galilee

Drop down to meet the sea

Where burly men still mend their nets,

Still fish there eagerly.

 

The sea’s the same place where Christ said,

“Lay down your nets and heed

My call to love all people

And serve them in their need.”

 

“I’ll help you fish for humankind,”

He told them long ago.

His call’s still heard, His help’s still real

Today, as we well know.

 

Yes, people still are leaving  “nets”

Wherever they might be,

And as disciples still go forth

To serve Christ willingly.

--Peggy Ferrell

HIGH YIELD FOR CROPWALK

By Alma-jean Marion & Doug Andrews

 

            St. Andrew raised $3,276 for the 2005 Renton Cropwalk held May 1^st (this was the 2^nd most behind only Fairwood Community).  More than $25,000 was raised overall and over 19 churches participated (a witness to just how ecumenical we can be).   Wherein 23 pledge envelopes were received, around 40 folks walked “because they cared” and 55 St. Andrew people participated in one way or another (3^rd behind Fairwood and St. Anthony’s).

 

            CONGRATULATIONS!  Reportedly, this has been the best response in years.

 

            THANK YOU TO:  Our walkers;

Recruiters (Laurie Rossnagel and Mary Schott); Sponsors of our walkers for their generosity; those who donated refreshments for the walkers; the church choir under the direction of Ray Johnson, Director, for directing and singing our theme song; Gary Glasscock (worked endless hours coaching new coordinators and others, set-up and clean-up, attending community meetings and keeping us all up-to-date). Our very own Dave Schott provided music for our listening pleasure; Larry Schott, reportedly, was out early at the park setting up the grounds.  Let us not forget our Rev. Scott Anderson who conducted our very first Commissioning of walkers on the day of the walk and during worship time.

 

            Let’s do it again next year!

 

ESL at SAPC

                ESL…conversational English sessions for Belarusians offered by St. Andrew is the vision.

 

            Some of us would like to offer a program  of conversational language building for women in the Belarusian congregation.  Please indicate your interest in promoting this Mission effort.  Can you come just to enter into conversational sessions with them?  Do you have expertise in this area?

 

            EVERYONE is invited to partici-

pate on any level.  We have just entered into the planning stages right now, and we invite your input.

 

            If you have interest, please contact Midge Lopez at (425) 228-8109 or by email Camplopez@msn.com.

 

 

 

Many Hands

Makes the Workload Lighter

 

            Picture a man driving into St. Andrew’s parking lot.  With work gloves in hand and a smile on his face he enters the world of English-speaking people.  While communica-

tions is limited, he begins the task of helping to remove blackberry debris from St. Andrew’s grounds.  Soon three young bi-lingual men from the Belarusian congregation arrive to offer their assistance.  In no time, debris fills the awaiting trailer.  The conversation in both languages passes back and forth between the

men of St. Andrew and those of the Belarusian congregations, and they continue their efforts by adding large lumps of sod and the remainder of the two dead trees to the ever-growing pile that fills the trailer.  When a pick-up truck load of bark arrives, these same men grab shovels and in no time, bark dust covers a barren area near the parking lot.  Lots of smiles, some verbal conversation and much unspoken language is shared as another effort to enhance the  grounds of St. Andrew is com-

pleted by men from both congregations.

 

            With many hands, the workload grows lighter.  With moments like this, the under-

standing of people united through faith con-

nects.  How fortunate we are to be able to witness and to share common goals. 

 

            We thank those from the Belarusian congregation for joining us twice now in these grounds maintenance efforts.

 

 

Progress for Communication and Technology Teams

(by Roger Paulsen)

 

Teams formed as a result of the communications and technology effort are making progress toward their goals.  Six teams have been formed, all aligned with the initiative of Creating a Loving Connected Community.

 

Last fall, many of the St. Andrew family met to discuss communication issues.  In the Vision Workshop, we talked about forms of communication that would be effective.  In the Contradictions Workshop we talked about the roadblocks to achieving our vision.  And in the Strategic Directions Workshop, we talked about practical actions to deal with the contradictions, and move us toward our vision.  We developed three initiatives that can help us improve communication within our congregation, and between our congregation and the community at large. 

 

In February, a group gathered to begin implementing one of those initiatives, Creating

a Loving Connected Community.  Six teams were formed around projects that those present felt were most important and most practical:  Active Web Site, Shut-in Support, Youth Ministry Consensus, Active Parish Groups, E-mail/Hot Line, and Leadership & Organization Charts.

 

All the teams have met and developed plans to reach their goals.  Most have written implementation plans, and some have written communication plans to inform the congregation about their accomplishments.  Things are beginning to happen.  (Take a look at the web site if you haven’t looked recently.)  You’ll see and hear more from the teams as time goes on. 

 

If you’re curious about any of the plans, please ask one of the members of the team.

 

• Active Web Site team:  Bob Armstrong, Rob McClure, Kris McClure-Coleman, with adjunct members Dan Clawson and Hal Mitchell. 
• Shut-in Support team:  Bob Armstrong, Judy Paulsen, Ann Dreier, Rob McClure, and Heather McClure-Coleman.
• Youth Ministry Consensus team:  Larry Griffith, Kris McClure-Coleman, Heather McClure-Coleman, Derek Pearce, Pat Sharpe, Gene Hastings, and Norm Summers.
• Active Parish Group team: Patti Warden and Ann Dreier. 
• E‑mail/Hotline team:  Judy Paulsen and Bob Armstrong. 
• Leadership & Organization Charts team:  Andy Peck, Forester Woodruff, and Patti Warden. 

 

All of the teams welcome input, too.

 

Grounds Maintenance

Around the Clock

 

            “Unable to attend Sat. clean up. Have painted outside and floor of trailer and returned to parking place.  Have turned on drip irrigation.  I will be gone this weekend; please review for dry plants and advise me.  I will rework what needs to be done at night.  We need to connect both sides to the timer and valve.  Please have west garden watered by hand.  I will be glad to do the digging and connection of the sides if I can get some help”.

 

                                                --Paul Mitchell

 

            The Landscaping division of the Opera-

tions department has been in full gear burning and turning to get caught up, and the goal has just about been attained.  This activity has been going on since the middle of March when all the summer-like weather was with us.  Bad weather interrupted plans in the Fall of last year, and things were placed on hold.

 

            The work party schedule set up for the second and fourth Saturdays of the month can

be cutback a bit now that we have caught up. 

The last work party was held as scheduled last Saturday.  The next party will be the Fall Clean-up (date to be announced).   Work on the grounds will be done according to personal schedules of those doing the work.  The needs will be posted, and volunteers can select what they wish to do.  By your actions you have spoken and given clear indications of what works best for you.  Cutting the grass, removing weeds from flower beds, etc. will be done on an as needed basis.

 

            The above quote from Paul Mitchell is how we mastered coming from behind.  His dedication is reflective of the spirit of St. Andrew’s congregation.  Just ask, and it gets done!  All through the week and on weekends our members of the Church maintain these grounds.  Dana and Paul Holstine, Paul Mitchell, Dave Schott, Andy Peck, Andy Resor,                                                                        

 

Gary Glasscock, Midge and Tony Lopez, Jerry Balken, Derek and Sharon Pearce, and members of the Belarusian congregation i.e.

Andrew Lobanovskiy (son of Pastor Victor

Lobanovskiy comes every Friday as needed to cut the lawn.)

 

            More work gets done outdoors than I can imagine as folks don’t like to brag.  So, I do a lot of snooping!  I am just so very proud and appreciative, and I ask that we all give praise and thanks to our almighty Father for the wealth of talent, love and commitment that we have coming from these two congregations.

 

            We hope to have more discussion and will be sending everyone an invite to talk about the landscape and the many possibilities to glorify God here at SAPC.

FEAR & LOATHING IN THE COURTHOUSE

 

This article is written by Leslie Savina, a staff attorney for the Domestic Violence Legal Fund, a program begun by Eastside Legal Assistance Program to provide attorney representation in family law matters to low-income domestic violence survivors in King County.  The article (published in the Bar News) was directed to the membership of the Washington State Bar Association and has been adapted with permission of the author for our newsletter to illustrate some of the good work Washington’s attorneys are doing on behalf of the poor. 

 

I’m never quite sure if free legal services are just a pipe dream.  We all talk about providing civil legal services to the poor and vulnerable like it’s important, like it’s something we value.  Heck, even those gonzo guys and gals we elect to represent us on the Washington State Bar Association Board of Governors think it’s important.  At least I think they think it is important because they passed Rules of Professional Conduct 6.1 which encourages every attorney to give 30 hours of pro bono publico service each year specifically to assist persons of limited means.  Being on the board of the ballet is all good and fine, but you know and I know that is not what this rule is all about.  It’s really about 30 hours of free legal services to those who cannot afford a lawyer.

 

And they are legion.  What percentage of family law cases has at least one party appearing pro se (self-representation)?  A lot.  How do they do it?  How do they navigate the intricacies of the mandatory forms, the personalities of the courthouse, and the idiosyncrasies of the local rules on their own? With fear and trepidation and, perhaps, not at all.

 

I don’t know about you, but I never think it is a particularly good day when I have to go to the court house.  Sure, I sometimes run into friends, perhaps help a client and can

always get a good cuppa coffee at that nice little espresso stand at the Regional Justice Center but, in my heart of hearts, I know fear and loathing.  I am nervous, anxious.  Did I confirm my motion on time?  Did I copy the attachments to my client’s declaration?  Did I bring proposed orders?  Did I leave a three inch margin at the top? Was I or wasn’t I supposed to underline the important parts of the Family Court Services report for the judge?  Am I over the page limits?  Do I have proof of service in my file?  What if opposing counsel is smarter-cuter-more facile than I am? Oh jeez.  I’m on stress overload.

 

Lucky for me, there are lots of worries I can cross right off my list.  I don’t have to worry about whether the forms will be printed in Hindi, Thai or Senegalese.  I don’t have to worry about whether the bus comes near the courthouse or if I will have to push my wheelchair up-hill from the bus stop.  I don’t have to worry about if the sheriff at the door will ask my immigration status.  I don’t have to worry about losing my job at the nursing home because I took time off to come to court.  I don’t have to worry about whether my child will cry in the courtroom because I have no safe place to leave her.  I don’t have to worry whether my husband will wait for me outside the courthouse with a gun.

 

If you’re still with me here, then I’m singing to the choir and that’s pretty scary because I really can’t sing.  If I could, I’d sing the blues because as family law lawyers we are asked, repeatedly, to provide free representation.  It’s logical because family law cases are the areas of greatest need.  How often do you see your friends, the corporate tax attorneys or the land-use attorneys or the patent attorneys, representing one of their clients for free?  Not gonna happen.  Now, how often do family law attorneys represent clients for free?  A lot.

 

 (Let me note here that poor business practices do not constitute pro bono representation.  If you agree to represent a

client for free, good on you.   But if you agree to represent a client and the client doesn’t pay you, then the client got lucky and you got took.)

 

I’m one of the lucky ones because I am able to represent the neediest and most desperate of family law clients for free and still get paid, not much, but paid.  (To my longer suffering husband, honey, this is a “real” job.)  Folks tell me all the time how great it is that I do this work, how important it is for these clients to have representation.  And I couldn’t agree more or I wouldn’t do this job.  But tell me, why do I feel so lonely?  If folks think this work is so important, and they seem to, why aren’t more people representing needy, low-income clients?  I don’t need one more “atta girl” for my work: I need help.

 

What we’ve got is a fine and talented bar and a tremendous need.  What we’ve got is a rule recommending 30 hours of free legal services a year from every attorney; family law, labor law, land-use, tax, torts, trials.  And, ok, if you can’t give 30 hours of free services, then work your hours, pay the taxes, and donate the rest to LAW Fund (Legal Aid for Washington Fund).  It’s a wild idea, but I think we can make a difference.

 

If you are a lawyer looking to do something wild and crazy, go to the web-site for the Advocate Resource Center, advocateresourcecenter.org, to search for volunteer opportunities to your county, area of interest or by a text search.  If you wish to support legal services by pro bono providers in your community, go to the Legal Foundation of Washington web-site at www.legalfoundation.org where you may link to LAW Fund to make a donation, learn of legislative outreach to fund legal services in our state by the Equal Justice Coalition, or find a program near you who will be thrilled to find a volunteer opportunity for you. 

 

Rock on.
