MessengerMessenger January 2014January 2014

The other day, I heard an old saying for the first time –

“Full faith means an empty church.” The implication of

the aphorism is that a church that is preaching the fullness

of the Gospel will quickly find itself without a congrega-

tion. The demands and charge of the fullness of the Chris-

tian faith are simply too much for many of us to bear for

long.

Yet, I am beginning to think that the phrase might be

heard differently. Can living the full faith of the Church

lead us to buildings that are empty not because the faithful

are frightened by the Gospel but because they are enliv-

ened by it and finding their fulfillment serving those most

in need in our communities around us?

The challenge for the Church amidst the changes taking

place all around us is not for us to attract more believers to

our buildings but to welcome those all around us deeper

into Christ-shaped living. This won’t happen through the

force of our pulpits or the power of our teaching alone but

through the simplicity of lived Christian faith. Our con-

gregants are our chief missionaries and evangelists – they

are equipped for lives of purpose that draw others to see

something of Christ.

Full faith doesn’t mean that our buildings are absent of

faithful men and women but that our buildings are the way

station for the faithful to draw strength and hope from be-

ing in Christ’s Presence so that they can go out refreshed

and renewed for the work of Christian living.

It has been this way since the very beginning. St Peter

on one level appeared to be everything that faithful Chris-

tian should not be. And yet, before it was all over, Peter

became the rock upon which the Church would be founded

and a powerful evangelist and missionary for Christ. His

life is a testimony to what God can do with a life offered to

his service.

At some point, over the course of his ministry, Jesus

goes from saying “get thee behind me” to “Feed my

Lambs.” Jesus knew Peter and knew what and who he

was called to be.

Full Faith, Empty Churches by Robert Hendrickson on December 6, 2013 from ECF Vital Posts

Convicted by the teaching and preaching of John the

Baptist, Peter’s brother Andrew tells Peter of Jesus,

“Behold the Lamb of God.” Peter’s journey is one of

faith, endurance, mistakes, mis-steps, tragedies, martyr-

dom, and reward. He takes a journey from beholding to

becoming. From beholding the Lamb of God to becoming

the Body of Christ.

Jesus knew that life with him, despite Peter’s failings,

would transform Peter and make him strong enough to

bear the Church. And he knows this of us too.

The new occupant of the throne of Peter seems to under-

stand this call to go out if the reports of his leaving the

Vatican at 1am to go out and to be with the poor and the

hungry are true. The Swiss Guard are, of course, upset

that the pope is taking such risks and yet there is the heart

of the Gospel calling us to risk so that others may see and

know.

In the Church, we are called to behold and become – to

know the living Body and to make it known. In so many

ways, despite our belief and our unbelief, we are being

welcomed into the new life of the Risen Christ.

This Body itself is not outwardly visible – it needs out-

ward signs to be known to the world. It is our willingness

to show forth in our lives what we proclaim with our lips

that shows what it means to be the Church. In a time when

fewer and fewer people will read Scripture growing up or

receive the Sacraments as part of their everyday life – it is

that much more vital that we offer some way for them to

see and know something of the simple kindness and love

of Christ.

Are we saved by being kind? No. Are we saved if we

aren’t kind? Possibly. Will we help others to see the love

of God if we aren’t kind? Probably not.

Probably not because being of the Body – truly knit to

Christ – means allowing ourselves to be more fully drawn

into a life of self-offering. A life marked by a lack of

faith, hope, or charity is probably not one that is fully of

the Body. This may be at the heart of sainthood and of

sanctification – we grow in relationship with God and as

we do so our outward lives are transformed to ever more

resemble the inward grace we are blessed with.

We are being called to a missionary life – to one that

gives of itself outside the doors of our churches. The para-

dox is that as we see our lives ever more deeply formed by

the missional imperative to go out we will find our

It is time to say goodbye to 2013. For some this is a

great thing and to others they are not ready. We look for-

ward to what is ahead with great anticipation and look

back with some sad feelings. A friend sent me a copy of

the following as we lost a mutual friend. This was pub-

lished in a local publication and I want to share it as it may

be something you may practice.

I recently lost a friend who suffered over 12 months be-

fore God called her home. Many days as we chatted on

the phone, I'd say “Susan, I wish there was something I

could do to ease your pain.” She would say, “Just pray for

me, pray Debbie.” I knew she was so ill, and I truly did

not see any way this could turn around. She needed a

transplant and a match, something that would be almost

impossible. But, I was reminded that nothing is impossi-

ble with God. I told her either way she was going to

“shine.”

Over the past year, I prayed for her, for God to heal her

body. It took me several times chatting with her to know

that there was nothing I could do for my friend that could

ever compare with prayer.

When we find ourselves saying “All I can do is pray for

you,” we are truly saying the best thing we can do for you

is pray for you. For God holds our every moment in his

hands. So the next time you tell someone that the only

thing you can do for them is to pray for them, know that

you are doing the best thing ever, for them. THE POWER

OF PRAYER.

churches even more full as the next generation of believers

is called to come and see. The Church’s challenge is to

move from an attractional model of ministry that is based

on creating programming and a more impressive show to

an incarnational one rooted in the lived Christian experi-

ence of every believer living into their identity as the

Body.

This starts at the Altar. We receive the Body so that we

might grow into its likeness. Yet the Mass is not a mo-

ment outside of time but is time most fully experienced.

In the Presence of the Holy we know our true self revealed

and exposed so that we might truly be present. It is not

simply Transubstantiation that is being effected but a sub-

stantial transformation of ourselves, our hopes, our inten-

tions, and our purpose.

Yet after offering, blessing, breaking, and sharing

comes a sending forth with strength and courage. We are

given a measure of Christ’s own self to offer it to others.

We behold and we become. The action of the Eucharist is

ongoing and manifold. Even as we are sent out it is not

because the liturgy is over but because it has just really

just begun in us. We are being called to welcome others to

gather, to hear how God’s Word is changing us, to know

brokenness, to share blessing, to be one in holiness, to be

and share peace.

Often, the liturgy is referred to as the “work of the peo-

ple” from its Greek root. Yet this means far more than that

it is the responsibility of all to take part in the liturgical life

of the parish. It means that it is our employment, our vo-

cation, and our call. It is as essential to our identity. It is

the work of the people in that it is the very infrastructure

of our life – undergirding who we are and what we do.

“Full faith, empty church” – it takes on a different

meaning when we realize that the Church is never empty.

It is always full of the Presence and potency of Christ. At

some points our buildings have fewer or more people in

them yet this is not the only measure of health. The real

question is what are our people up to when they are not in

the building? Are they living the liturgy in such a way that

the Church is not confined by walls but magnified by the

vision of Christ?

Our buildings are among our greatest assets. They are a

home for the hope-filled and hopeless alike. Yet their

greatest strength lies in their ability to feed us to go out –

to be forgiven and restored for life and beyond so that oth-

ers may see and know the Living Christ. Are we, by our

becoming, welcoming others to behold? Is our full faith

the testimony of a Church that goes out from its buildings

with courage and hope?

Join The Rev. Cindy Howard and her daughter Liz Kir-

by for the first diocesan Mother/Daughter Retreat at Beck-

with Camp and Retreat Center, February 7 - 9, 2014. The

retreat leader is The Reverend Amy Dafler Meaux. She

will guide us as we explore together as women Baptism,

the Baptismal Covenant and practical applications in our

everyday lives.

Rev. Dafler Meaux received her Masters of Divinity

from The Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas.

She has served three Episcopal Churches: Trinity Episco-

pal Church, New Orleans, Louisiana; Saint Michael and

All Angels Episcopal Church, Dallas, Texas; and now,

Trinity Episcopal Church, Danville, KY. As the Associate

for Children, Youth, and Families at Saint Michael and All

Angels, Amy worked with over 600 families as they

walked their journeys of faith together.

As a priest, Amy is passionate about the ways the Gos-

pel of Jesus Christ transforms our daily lives giving us

strength and courage to become the people God calls us to

be. She is married with three children. She’s an avid knit-

ter and reader, and is slowly learning to quilt.

The weekend will include workshops, worship, music

and small group activities. There will be time for fun on

the challenge course, opportunity for yoga, and creative

arts. We will sing by the campfire and save some time for

reflection on “the porch.”

Don't miss this opportunity to share time with wonderful

women from across the Central Gulf Coast. You do not

have to bring your mother or daughter to attend. Girls

should be 12 and older.

The cost for the retreat is $160 per adult for the week-

end double occupancy in motel rooms - 21 years and un-

der; $110 sharing double occupancy. The rate for dorms is

$82 per person (bring your own linens and towels).

Mother-Daughter Retreat Every Woman a Daughter; Every Person a Child of God

More than 46 mil-

lion Americans live

in Poverty in the

USA. Americans

families were having

a difficult time mak-

ing ends meet before

the recession. With

continuing unem-

ployment and increasing costs of living, more and more

families have to choose between necessities like health

care, child care, and even food.

January is National Poverty in America Awareness

Month. It is a time to raise awareness of poverty in Amer-

ica and in our own community. The Episcopal Church

encourages us to help eradicate poverty by learning more

about its causes and practical solutions, and by participat-

ing in and supporting antipoverty programs.

Saint Monica’s has long been active in helping to ease

hunger as a supporter of Manna Food Pantries by asking

for your weekly donations of non-perishable food items.

This month we will launch our new Beans and Rice Minis-

try to address hunger right here in our neighborhood.

One of the ways the Episcopal Church addresses domes-

tic poverty is through its Jubilee network, which consists

of over 600 Jubilee Ministry Centers. These centers em-

power the poor and oppressed in their communities by

providing direct services, such as food, shelter, and

healthcare, and also by advocating for human rights.

More than 30 years ago at the Episcopal General Con-

vention meeting in New Orleans, Resolution A080 estab-

lished Jubilee Ministry as “a ministry of joint discipleship

in Christ with poor and oppressed people, wherever they

are found, to meet basic human needs and to build a just

society,” concluding that this “is at the heart of the mission

of the church.”

Since then, the General Convention has reaffirmed its

commitment to Jubilee Ministry eight times, including at

this past convention in Indianapolis in July. Resolution

D094, adopted this year, resolves that Jubilee Ministry “be

affirmed as a vital expression of the type of relational min-

istry that is being called forth from local congregations of

the church today as they seek to reconcile all people to

unity with God and each other in Christ.”

New Year’s Day may be the world’s most celebrated

public holiday, observed in different ways in different cul-

tures at the stroke of midnight. Each year on January 1,

the Episcopal Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy

Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord (sometimes called Feast of

the Holy Name), the eighth day of the Christmas season.

The feast commemorates the eighth day after Jesus’ birth,

when in Jewish tradition, infant boys are circumcised and

named. He was “called Jesus, the name given by the angel

before he was conceived in the womb” (Lk 2:21).

Under the Law of Moses, all male infants were to be

circumcised on the eighth day after birth (Lv 12:3). It was

also customary at this time for family and friends to wit-

ness the naming of the child. The designation of the feast

in honor of Jesus' Holy Name is new to the 1979 BCP. It

was traditionally celebrated as the Feast of the Circumci-

sion. Celebration of the Holy Name reflects the signifi-

cance of the Holy Name of Jesus, and the emphasis of the

Gospel of Luke on the naming of Jesus rather than his cir-

cumcision.

Liturgical celebration of Jesus’ circumcision began in

the Gallican Church. The Council of Tours (567) called

for Jan. 1 to be observed as a fast day to counter pagan

celebrations of the beginning of the new year. This day

was also traditionally associated with devotion to the Vir-

gin Mary. Celebration of the Feast of the Name of Jesus

dates from the end of the middle ages.

In the fifteenth century, the Franciscans Bernardino of

Siena (1380-1444) and Giovanni Capistrano (1386-1456)

encouraged devotion to the name of Jesus. This celebra-

tion was officially granted to the Franciscans in 1530 for

observance on Jan. 14. In 1721 Innocent XIII called for

the whole Roman Catholic Church to observe the feast on

the Second Sunday after Epiphany. This feast was intro-

New Year’s Day/Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ From The Episcopal Church

duced into England in 1489 and celebrated on Aug. 7. It

was included as a black letter day in the Elizabethan Cal-

endar of the church year in 1561.

The name “Jesus” is from the Hebrew Joshua, or Ye-

hoshuah, “Yahweh is salvation” or “Yahweh will save.”

Devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus is particularly derived

from Phil 2:9-11, which states that God highly exalted Je-

sus ‘and gave him the name that is above every name, so

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heav-

en and on earth and under the earth.” This scriptural devo-

tion is paraphrased by the hymn “At the name of Je-

sus” (Hymn 435) in The Hymnal 1982. Other hymns that

express devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus include “To

the name of our salvation” (Hymns 248-249) and “Jesus!

Name of wondrous love!” (Hymn 252).

Remember that the name of Jesus is a sign of our salva-

tion. On this day, pray that our Eternal Father plant in

every heart the love of the Savior of the world. Pray for

peace around the world in the New Year, guided by God’s

love.

A Collect for January 1: Eternal Father, you gave to

your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of

our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of

him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ;

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one

God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

When the scheduled acolyte

fell ill with a bug while

serving on Christmas Eve,

former acolyte Aaron Gaff

stepped in from the pews to

finish the service. Aaron

served as acolyte at St.

Monica’s during his teen

years. From the grin on his

face, Aaron seemed to have

enjoyed his stroll down

memory lane, as did the rest

of us. Thanks Aaron!

Six women from St. Monica’s traveled to the Festival of Nativities at St. Paul’s Daphne on December 15. Here Brennis Whaley and Brenda Ferguson read about Nativity scenes from around the world. Also on the trip were Connie Chamberlin, Phyllis Condon, Texann Stephens and Viv Welch.

HAPPY CAMPERS! Our beautiful Ebie Boykin (third from the left) is joined by her friends (left to right) Tayler Mills, Abi Manoso and their counselor Jane in their cabin at Camp Beckwith’s Winter Woods on December 27. All three girls are looking forward to returning for Summer Camp 2014 and visiting St. Monica’s again soon!

Epiphany falls on January 6 and celebrates the revela-

tion of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. We

also commemorate the visitation of the Magi to the Baby

Jesus and our own baptismal covenant by remembering

Jesus’ baptism by St. John the Baptist.

In the Episcopal Church, we are baptized in the water

and lovingly adopted by God into God’s family – the

Church. In instituting the sacrament of Baptism, Jesus

took a familiar, understandable custom and gave it a new

meaning. Baptism was to be the way we would be initiat-

ed into discipleship with him. He could have chosen some

other way; he chose Baptism.

The outward and visible parts of baptism are water and

the action of the convert being baptized. The inward and

spiritual grace of baptism is God’s promised action in for-

giving our sins and accepting us as his children, as mem-

bers of Christ’s body, and as inheritors of God’s kingdom.

At Epiphany and others times throughout the year, it is

beneficial to remind ourselves of our baptismal covenant

with God and celebrate that we have been given God’s

own life to share and nothing can separate us from God’s

love in Christ.

The Baptismal Covenant

Do you believe in God the Father?

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?

Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship,

in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall

into sin, repent and return to the Lord?

Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News

of God in Christ?

Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your

neighbor as yourself?

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and

respect the dignity of every human being?

Epiphany & Baptismal Covenant

January 20 commemorates the

birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-

ther King, Jr., and his work in

nonviolent activism in the civil

rights movement. Many faith

and secular organizations cele-

brate the life of Dr. King by ob-

serving a day of service to oth-

ers.

What are you doing for civil

rights? Is there an event in the

community where you can volunteer? Are there organi-

zations you can become involved in that work toward

equal rights or ending discrimination in our country?

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to piec-

es, I would still plant my apple tree.

Martin Luther

As our recent Steward-

ship Program reminded us,

planting seeds for future

fruit is both an act of hope

and an expression of faith.

We plant in hope that the

small seeds will one day

produce a tree whose fruit

will bless future genera-

tions. We plant in faith by

entrusting those who follow

us to nurture our tree, har-

vest the fruit properly and

use it for the best purposes.

Making a planned gift to

St. Monica’s is a similar undertaking. A planned gift is a

seed whose promised fruit will support the church well

beyond your lifetime.

Planned giving is often part of an overall estate plan to

distribute your assets and possessions to the people and

causes most dear to you. Planned gifts come in several

forms. The simplest planned gift is to make a bequest to

the church in your will. Other options, such as charitable

gift annuities through the Episcopal Church Foundation,

provide a guaranteed income for life and substantial tax

savings.

Planned gifts are funded from accumulated assets of

your lifetime. When you make a planned gift to St. Mon-

ica’s, it typically does not impact your current income. In

fact, there are several types of life-income gifts that can

actually supplement your income for the rest of your life.

Planned gifts are generally used to build an endowment

fund, which is vitally important for the long-term health of

the church. Endowment funds empower ministry beyond

what is possible through annual operating funds. They

provide future parishioners with the means to continue to

worship, learn, and serve the community and the world as

we have been blessed to do.

Planned giving is a powerful opportunity to ensure your

most sacred values and commitments are part of your lega-

cy. Your planned gift represents your hope for the future

mission of St. Monica’s and your faith in generations to

come.

If you are interested in making a planned gift to St.

Monica’s, please see a member of the vestry. For the free

booklet, Making a Planned Gift, please contact the Episco-

pal Church Foundation at 800-697-2858 or
