Dear Parish Family, My friends and I loved winter. Whenever the snow lay on the ground, we’d go sledding on Memorial Hill in the city park. Adults knew it to be a safe, modest slope. But to us each thrilling ride felt like a careening descent from the lofty heights of Everest! Beside this hill stood a large, solemn building – the Masonic Lodge. We rarely saw cars in the lot or lights in the windows. Occasionally we’d dare to peer inside. But we never saw much in the dim shadows – just a few portraits of

familiar Founding Fathers wearing odd white aprons. And we wondered: What strange rites took place within that inner sanctum? What costumes did they wear? What oaths did they swear? We never found out, even though my grandfather, dad, uncle, and (later) brother were Masons. So our wild imaginations filled in the gaps! Another mysterious place in my childhood was the local Roman Catholic church. Located just blocks from my Episcopal parish, it may as well have been on Mars – our two congregations never did anything together, even in the afterglow of Vatican II. What made the church especially exotic to me was the fact that some of my neighborhood friends went to a special “Catholic School” through the 8th grade. They’d occasionally share other-worldly stories about “Father” or eating fish on Fridays. Why were we separated from our classmates until the 9th grade? It was never explained. So, again, our wild imaginations filled in the gaps! Since then, I’ve learned much about both Freemasonry and Roman Catholicism. And while this information has not led me to become either a Mason or a Roman Catholic, I can say that any unease I may have felt with “the other” (in both cases) gradually dissolved as ignorance was replaced by knowledge. This illumination led not to mere acceptance, but a delight in variety. We live in a world where ignorance about “the other” – including matters of religion – can lead not only to unease, but to fear, oppression, and violence. And so it was particularly troubling to read about the recent survey on religious knowledge in the United States conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. In brief, they learned that atheists and agnostics, along with Jews and Mormons, far outscored mainline Protestants, evangelical Protestants, and Roman Catholics about the core teachings, history, and leading figures of the world’s major religions (results that hold true even when differing levels of education are factored in). For example, 53% of all Protestants don’t know that

Martin Luther inspired their Reformation. Only 47% of all Americans know that the Dalai Lama is Buddhist, and only 27% are aware that the country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia. Of course, scoring well on a survey about world religions doesn’t necessarily indicate that one is good, compassionate, or loving. But history has shown us, repeatedly, that ignorance of “the other” (either willful or accidental) can lead to great harm – especially when our wild imaginations fill in the gaps. The Romans persecuted the early Church, in part, because they’d heard rumors that Christians drank the blood of babies during the celebration of the Holy Communion. And far too many German Christians cooperated, or stood passively by, as the Third Reich committed horrendous crimes against Jews, gays and lesbians, disabled persons, and others wrongly blamed for Germany’s suffering after World War I. In recent years, the rise of radical elements in all world religions has thrown gas on the fire of ignorance. A sign of hope for us all is that earnest encounters with “the other” can enhance understanding, which seems to have a way of opening minds and hearts. A simple example: when I was a child, only men could become priests in the Episcopal Church. All that began to change in the mid-1970s when the first women deacons and priests were ordained. I remember well the first time a woman priest visited my home parish. As the day drew near, some were pleased, others were dismayed, and many were simply curious. After all, this was a novel event! That day, when the worshipers actually experienced a woman priest – celebrating the Holy Communion with sacred dignity, preaching a moving sermon – it was as if a light switch had been flipped: OK. This makes perfect sense! In the years since, that parish has been blessed by several superb women rectors.

The Church of the Redeemer has enjoyed some horizon-expanding experiences recently. On October 12, Rabbi Michael J. Cook, a teacher and scholar from Hebrew Union College, offered a dazzling presentation about the braided traditions of Christianity and Judaism in Renaissance art. It was inspiring to be reminded that what binds God’s people together is so incredibly more profound than any difference that might separate us! (That same night it was also exciting to note that at least half of the 120 people in attendance were from the wider ecumenical and interfaith community of Cincinnati!) There’s more to come. On Wednesday evening, December 1, Redeemer will join with St. Mary Church, Knox Presbyterian, and Our Lord Christ the King Parish for an ecumenical prayer service in observance of World AIDS Day. We’ll gather on the Redeemer plaza, and then walk in a candlelight procession to St. Mary to pray for those who suffer from AIDs and for those who love them. And next spring, on Wednesday nights in Lent, we’ll again partner with Our Lord Christ the King Parish to present the Rev. Dr. Walter Brueggemann, who will lead us in an exploration of the Psalms from the Hebrew scriptures. All we are doing, of course, is trying to follow the way of Jesus, who delighted in the amazing openness of God’s kingdom. St. Paul shared this delight, exulting that traditional human distinctions (like Jew/Greek, slave/free, male/female) had been swept away in God’s new creation. In his day, he labored to overcome dangerous, divisive ignorance with this fresh, liberating good news. In our day, we continue this hard but glorious work to see in “the other” what Jesus sees – our brother and our sister. Charlie

The Empty Plate by: Mike Carroll

P A G E 3

STEWARDSHIP NEWS

The empty plate: It has become a goal for much of our society. It serves as metaphor for our being too busy. How many times have you heard “My plate is full,” or “I just cannot fit anything else on my plate”? I contend that the real goal is not the empty plate itself, but the satisfaction that comes from emptying the plate. An empty plate means you have accomplished things. The process of emptying the plate brings satisfaction, happiness, and reward. I think of Thanksgiving: The day may end with an empty plate, but it is only of value because it was, at one point in the day, full. For the church to experience the benefits of an empty plate, it must first have a full plate. I want to talk about filling the plate — literally, the collection plate. We live in an incredibly generous country: Although the totals have fallen for the past two years, more than $300 billion dollars is given to charity annually. Most of this giving is strategic -- well thought out, carefully considered. As a member of the committee on stewardship in this church and in my day job, I know how important strategic giving really is. While strategic giving is a good thing, it should not make us forget about the role and importance of spontaneous generosity.

Webster tells us that “spontaneous” is “proceeding from a natural feeling without external constraint”, or “not contrived.” Spontaneous describes an automatic response, oftentimes from the heart. We all are able to recognize those automatic responses (spontaneous acts): A husband who gives his wife his jacket because she feels a chill; children who share toys while playing; or a young woman who gives up her seat on the bus to an elderly man. These all are spontaneous acts of charity. They are a way of saying: “Thank you for what I have. I would like to share.” When I come into this church on Sundays, the gratitude that I feel for the church and for all the blessings in my life come into focus. I appreciate the opportunity to enjoy an act of spontaneous giving . . . to share . . . to give back what has been given to me. The act of adding to the collection plate is my spontaneous expression of gratitude. It is my spontaneous declaration of faith. And it is so much more. In giving, I am filling the church’s plate. I am playing a role in giving Redeemer a full plate. I do so with confidence that the church and its leadership will empty the plate in ways that benefit a great many and that glorify God.

The Green Cincinnati Plan was adopted to help make Cincinnati more sustainable and more economically competitive. To achieve these goals, the plan encourages everyone to conserve energy (and money). Here is an opportunity to make your home more energy efficient and to cut your utility bills, at no cost to you.

Duke Energy is giving away FREE CFL bulbs and it takes about 1 minute on the phone with an automated system to get them. Generally, they will send up to 12 of these energy efficient bulbs directly to your home. Using these bulbs will save the average residence about $360 on energy bills over the life of the bulbs. Why would Duke do this? It’s cheaper to reduce consumption than it is to build new capacity. It costs a lot to build a power plant and if they can reduce usage, they can save on the expense of construction. If you are a Duke Energy customer you can get your CFL bulbs FREE by calling 1-800-943-7585 and follow the prompts. You will need to enter your Duke Energy account number, OR the phone number, OR the social security number associated with your Duke Energy account and follow the remaining prompts. They will tell you how many CFL’s you are entitled to and will mail them to the address listed on your account. You pay nothing and can start saving money on your electric bills as soon as you install the bulbs. You can read more about this program, and can order your bulbs on-line, by going to the Duke Energy website: http://www.duke-energy.com/freecfls/default.asp?utm_source=webpromo&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=IVRWEB

Holiday Sale Coming Soon! By: Kelley Flodder, Holiday Sale Chair

On Saturday, November 20, we will be selling animals at the Redeemer Holiday Sale! Our annual Alternative Gift/Heifer International table will offer an opportunity to purchase animals like pigs, chickens and goats. The animals go to resource-poor families in the U.S. and around the world who are working to improve their lives. Shoppers can honor a friend or loved one by giving in his or her name, while at the same time empowering an impoverished family by providing an animal and training in its care. For every $10 donation, you’ll get a beautiful card to give to the person you have honored. Alternative giving is a great solution to buying gifts for those on your list who don’t really need another tie, sweater or toy. And it’s a wonderful way to get out of a gift-giving rut that has lost its meaning. So stop by the Alternative Gift/Heifer International table at the Holiday Sale. We’ll also be in the narthex on Sunday, November 21. Help Needed! Please help staff the "Alternative Giving/Heifer International" table at the Redeemer Holiday Sale on Saturday, November 20. Thirty-minute shifts are available between 10am and 2pm, so it’s easy to fit in a shift before or after you shop the sale. If you can help, please contact Hollis Bass (hollis@fuse.net).

Re-gifting at the Holiday Sale

by: Minda Matthews-Smith

“You shouldn't have.” "It's lovely — almost too nice to use." "How interesting — where did you find such an unusual gift?" Admit it. we've all said those words and then promptly put those “unusual” gifts in a closet or drawer. What do you do with them now? Redeemer is providing an opportunity to get those gifts out and let someone else enjoy them. Remember, one person’s trash is another's treasure! Contribute your new, unused gifts to the Re-Gift Table at Redeemer's Holiday Sale. Please drop them off no later than Sunday, November 14. Items can be placed in the marked bin in the narthex. The sales from these items will benefit our mission in El Hogar. Any items that do not sell will be donated to Madisonville Education and Assistance Center’s (MEAC) holiday shop. Questions? Please contact Minda Matthews-Smith (745-0267or minlmatt@hotmail.com).

Each year the Holiday Sale gets better and better. Please join us on Saturday, November 20, to help raise even more money than last year’s sale for the boys and girls in the Home of Love and Hope in El Hogar. It supports not only the children in the orphanage, but also students in the Technical Institute and the Agricultural Institute. Each student is given a home, an education, and – for young men – vocational training. The Church of the Redeemer supports the ministry of El Hogar in numerous ways including financial contributions, support through individual sponsorships, mission trips, and supplies. You can lend a hand by shopping at our Holiday Sale! We hope to exceed the sponsorship amount to donate additional funds to El Hogar this year. The Holiday Sale will be held on Saturday November 20, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm in the Great Hall. All booth rental fees paid by our vendors go directly to support El Hogar. The following tables will donate all of their proceeds to El Hogar: The Re-gifting Table (see information below) The Bread Guild will be selling delicious bread and other baked goods. The Redeemer Café will sell delectable lunch items. There are many of your favorite vendors from the past years and some exciting new ones!! Make your way to the Holiday Sale and shop for El Hogar!

Party Time? By: Michael Dohn

P A G E 5

She was a regular patient at the Clinic who arrived about mid-morning. She didn’t have an appointment. She was not sick. In fact she was feeling pretty good. She came to the Clinic because it was her birthday… and she wanted a party. We seem to have a lot of parties here. There are the expected parties for staff (birthdays, achievements, etc. – we had plenty of those when I was at the University of Cincinnati), but here there are many more parties for patients, health promoters, and others. People estranged from their families may seek out the Clinic staff to celebrate. Haitian and other immigrant workers may be far from home and family (some Haitian patients now have no family after the earthquake in Port-au-Prince the beginning of this year). The volunteer health promoters labor throughout the year in their communities. The only real, tangible “thanks” that we have given to them over the years have been appreciation parties. In the budget it is listed as “volunteer incentives,” but we all know that means “party.”

The Latin American culture in which any gathering (business meeting, doctor’s appointment, etc.) is an excuse for a social event contributes to this party tendency. There is also a sense that we have something to celebrate. The limitations and frustrations here are quite obvious, however visitors often remark about how joyful the people are. It is good to pause at times to acknowledge what we have accomplished and done together, and what we mean to one another: even if it is simply a birthday marking another year of survival or just that we are all in this together and (despite conditions around us) that God is good. Oops … gotta go now … just saw a cake being carried down the hall toward the corner office. Keep praying.

Anita and Michael Dohn are physicians serving as South American Missionary Society missionaries with La Iglesia Episcopal Dominicana at the diocesan Clínica Esperanza y Caridad. They live along the southern coast in San Pedro de Macorís in the Dominican Republic.

Thanksgiving Dinners for MEAC Share your blessings this fall with the clients of the Madisonville Education and Assistance Center (MEAC) by providing the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal. MEAC continues to see an increase in need this year, and we hope to top our donation of over 170 meals in 2009. You may pick up a numbered donation box with an ingredient list any Sunday in October. Due to space and storage constraints, please return your donations only on Sunday, November 7 or Sunday, November 14. Cash donations are also welcome. Please remember to note “MEAC THANKSGIVING MEAL” in the memo line of donation checks. Questions? Contact Kristen Arends (271-9532).

Save the Date for Prepare Affair Saturday, November 14

Save the date and hope for good weather! People Working Cooperatively's annual Prepare Affair event is Saturday, November 13. Redeemer volunteers and a group of Walnut Hills High School students will join to rake leaves, clean gutters and help elderly or low-income homeowners in Evanston prepare for winter. This is a great family event as kids usually can operate a rake! We finish by early afternoon. Questions? Contact Keenan Beauchamp (533-9356 or keenan@cinci.rr.com).

Scenes from the Blessing of the Animals — October 3, 2010

Art, Christianity, and Judaism

A packed house at Redeemer awaited Rabbi Dr. Michael J. Cook of Hebrew Union College on Tuesday, October 12. Dr. Cook took participants through an entertaining and engaging program entitled “The Jewish Bible in Christian Art” designed to foster greater understanding of the influence that Judaism and Christianity have had on one another. Parishioner Polly Culp said, “I was amazed by how much of our heritage we share with Judaism. Although I had studied Religious Art in college, I did so as a Christian and had never really thought of it from the Jewish perspective. It was interesting and enlightening.” Betsy Schram added, “It was such a wonderful evening. I liked the way Dr. Cook brought the art and both religions to life.” Claire Terry said that she was “moved to see so many layers of meaning in religious art and thoroughly enjoyed the engaging presentation.” If you missed Dr. Cook’s presentation, you may consider reading his book Modern Jews Engage the New Testament which is available in the Redeemer library. Other suggestions from the Redeemer library can be found on the next page!

Resources for Your Spiritual Journey by: Elizabeth Grover

P A G E 7

Book Suggestions

At Redeemer we are blessed with many resources to help us in our spiritual journey – great sermons, inspiring music, a beautiful facility, special people and more. One place where you can find lots of resources is the Redeemer library. Located between the parlor and the Great Hall and looking over the beautiful cloister garden, the library is full of books which may be of interest and inspiration to you and your faith life. There are books on Biblical scholarship, traditional theology, radical theology, prayers, pilgrimages, liturgy, the Episcopal Church, Buddhism, spiritual direction, journaling, and care-giving. There are collections of sermons and poems, novels about monks or saints, children’s stories about God or friendship, novels for adults and for youth, and a variety of Bible translations. Some books are old, but many books are new. Some were purchased to support various programs of our parish (Celtic spirituality or spirituality in the workplace), and some were donated by parishioners. In short, there is something for everyone. Our library collection is catalogued on the computer that sits on the library desk. To determine if we have a certain book or a book on a certain topic, follow the directions taped to the computer to search our database. Look for the call number in the resulting

record; that will be the shelf location of the book (in Dewey Decimal numbers). Since the 200's are the religion section in the Dewey Decimal system, you’ll find most of our books have call numbers in the 200's. For example, 230 is theology, 264 is liturgy and 283 is the Episcopal Church. To check out a book, simply remove the card from the pocket in the back, sign the card with the date you are checking it out, and place the card in the bin on the desk. There is no specific due date, but we hope you will return the material within a month or as soon as you are finished with it. If you have library materials at home that you are no longer reading, please return them to the library return bin – don’t re-shelve them yourself. We ask you to be courteous and give others a chance to read the books that you have enjoyed. If you read something in the library that inspires you, we would love to have you write a review of it for Redeemer News. We hope that this will encourage others to make use of this wonderful resource. If you have any questions about the library, you may email Betsy Schram (bschram@fuse.net) or Elizabeth Grover (elizabeth@redeemer-cincy.org).

The following books have either been added recently to the library or recently read or suggested by a parishioner. Many of them are located on the library cart. The cart, which generally stays in the Great Hall hallway (near the kitchen) during the program year, displays new acquisitions as well as books on the topic or topics of discussion in adult formation programming. Check these out, let the writing of these authors enrich your spiritual journey, and then send us a review so that others can be inspired by your experience.

Flu Shots at Redeemer Following the 10:00 am services on Sunday, October 24, the Parish Health Ministry will provide flu shots for parishioners. If you would like to receive a shot, please register online or by using the sign-up sheet in the narthex. The flu shots are available to parishioners 18 years or older for $25 per dose. This fee is waived for Medicare patients who bring a valid card.

Christmas Cards Available The Redeemer Art Committee will offer

Christmas cards for sale this year. Boxes of 10 cards will be sold for $15 in the narthex

after the morning services on October 31 and November 7. Proceeds from the sale will

benefit art committee projects. Questions? Conact Judy Manzler (561-4425).

Redeemer’s Prayer Shawl ministry provides a touch of the Holy Spirit to those who need it most. Administered by Parish Health Minister, Betsy Babb, prayer shawls are available to anyone who has a physical, spiritual, or emotional need. Each shawl is knitted by hand by a member of the “Knitten Kittens” (or perhaps the Alley Cat). After the shawl is completed, it is given to Betsy Babb who keeps a beautiful inventory of prayers shawls in her office. From time to time parishioners request a shawl, but more often, it is Betsy or one of the clergy who offers. “The prayer shawl brings special comfort at the death of a loved one, during an illness, or any other time a person needs to be covered by the Holy Spirit” says Betsy, “The shawls are blessed specifically for a person and his/her individual situation. I like to think that the prayer shawl provides a spiritual hug.” Below are excerpts from thank-you notes received from individuals who have received a prayer shawl from Redeemer: Thank you for praying for me and giving me that beautiful prayer shawl. Today is my birthday, and this morning as I put my prayer shawl on, I wept as I thanked the Lord for sparing my life, for covering me with His protections and provision these past 14 years…” It was so special ...Redeemer has been wonderful. I treasure my prayer shawl and take it everywhere I go. This is the most meaningful gift I’ve ever received. Thank you for my beautiful blue prayer shawl. I was thrilled to receive it. In fact, I have wanted a prayer shawl for the last 14 years. After my husband died, I learned that in the Jewish culture, widows are given prayer shawls as a covering — a symbol of God’s care and protection over them since they lost the ‘covering’ of their husband. I even went to the gift shop at Hebrew Union Seminary looking for a prayer shawl, but couldn’t find one that I could afford. Then Betsy Babb thoughtfully gave me one knit by your loving hands, sent with blessings of healing.

Prayer Shawls Bring Comfort

If you, or someone you know would benefit from receiving a prayer shawl, simply contact Parish Health Minister Betsy Babb or a member of the Clergy. If you feel called to be a part of the ministry by knitting with Redeemer’s Knitten Kittens, contact Heather Krombholtz (heather@krombholzjewelers.com or 272– 3837).
