HERALDCHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK, TORONTO, CANADA VOLUME 38, NUMBER 2

Dear friends,

“THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE.” The Greek philosopher Heraclitus put forththis view 2,500 years ago, and it is just as true today. This spring, we prepare to sayfarewell to the Reverend Samantha Caravan, who has served this parish for nearlyseven years. In her time as a theological student and as Director of Children’sMinistry, she developed programs and relationships that have enhanced our parish.In the past two years as Assistant Curate, she has honed the skills that will enableher to serve as the rector of a parish. I hope you will join us on Sunday, May 27that 11:15am as we bid farewell to Samantha, and give thanks to God for her ministry among us. I also hope you will be able to come to the Celebration of NewMinistry between Samantha and the people of St. John’s, West Toronto, which willtake place on Sunday, June 17th at 4:00pm at St. John’s (288 Humberside Drive).

On Sunday, July 1st, we welcome a new Assistant Curate to our staff. TheReverend Julie Meakin was ordained as a deacon on Sunday, May 6th in a beautifulservice at St. James’ Cathedral. Julie has been a school teacher in Thornhill for the past twenty years, and has recently graduated from the Faculty of Divinity atTrinity College. She has served many parishes during her theological formation,including St. Clement’s, Eglinton, St. Mary’s, Richmond Hill, and St. Cuthbert’s,Leaside. Please welcome Julie warmly as she arrives and gets settled in.

Another development in the life of our parish has been the “Our Faith – OurHope: Re-Imagine Church” campaign. This endeavour is helping to ensure avibrant future for the Church in our Diocese. The funds will strengthen our parish,and also provide for the needs of the wider Church. Thank you to those who havealready made commitments to this campaign. I encourage all members of theparish to prayerfully consider their own gifts to this important initiative.

Finally, I am aware that summer is a time of change. It’s an opportunity to set adifferent pace from the busyness of the rest of the year. As you make plans for thesummer, please remember that the church and its ministries continue. Sundayservices in July and August are followed by lemonade on the lawn, and an informalchildren’s program is available every Sunday at 10:00am. We look forward to seeingyou here.

Yours faithfully,

The Reverend Kevin Robertson, Rector

From theUpper Room

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE that this is the last time Iwrite a submission for the Herald! For almost seven yearswe have been on this journey together – a lot has happened.When I walked into Christ Church the first Sunday ofSeptember in 2005 I entered as a student, in a few weeks I will leave here as the incumbent of St John, West Toronto,and you have had a great deal to with this success, you havenurtured, shaped and formed me.

From student to priest – that is the product of my sevenyears here at Christ Church. Along the way you havetaught me many things. I have learned how to listen - notjust to words, but also deeply with my heart, to hear thewords behind the spoken ones. I have learned how to bepresent to you and to God in a way that has transformedme. From you I have learned that vulnerability is strength,not a weakness. Over these years you have been very generous - generous in spirit, in practical and thoughtfulways. As I clean out files and pack boxes I come across mysermon file and am reminded how generous in spirit youhave been. Wow, some of those early sermons were stinkers!Yet, you listened and encouraged – You are amazing!

As I have been present in the full spectrum of our lifetogether from baptism to death I am reminded of howloyal this community is. Rejoicing with each other in baptism, and rallying around the brokenhearted when welay our beloved to rest. I have watched as you have caredfor each other, carried each other, and sometimes arguedwith each other. I have watched you work together, praytogether, worship together, and study together. In all of the movements of this community it has been my privilegeand joy to participate.

In welcoming me so fully these past years you have givenme a great gift – actually many gifts. I have found mypreaching voice – which I hope continues to develop. Ihave found my presiding voice – from the first Eucharist Icelebrated here at an 8am Sunday service when I bangedthe chalice off the missal stand, or the Wednesday morningwhen after the peace I went right into the Eucharisticprayer, with nothing on the altar to consecrate. Or the stiltedand half sung Eucharist’s, after which many of you said

“don’t give up” or “good try, try again”. Then there is thegreat gift of trust you have engendered to me. As I have visited when you have been sick or shut in, when we haveprayed together, or as you visit me in my office and unburdenyourself – I am always breathless as I enter into these pastoralmoments with you. These are sacred moments where I amreminded of the great gift of this vocation as priest that youhave nurtured, shaped and embraced in me.

I have loved being here with you, in this beautiful and reallylovely community. I have always said that Christ Churchhas untapped potential. I am more convinced of that todaythan I have ever been. This community can do anything itputs its heart to. This final column could go on and on –but it is time to say goodbye.

I came a student and I leave a priest. There are no wordsadequate to express how deeply grateful I am to all of you,or how much I love and will miss you.

To God be all the Glory.

Love,

Sunday, May 27 is Samantha’s last day with us.

Please join us in Elliott Hall after the 10:00am service

when we’ll honour Samantha and wish her well

as she embarks on her new ministry asRector of St. John’s, West Toronto.

Planting, Parables & Prayers!THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who supported and encouragedour Eco-Lent activities! With your help, we raised over$150 at our eco-friendly bake sale and adopted our veryown Cedar of Lebanon! We will be sent regular picturesand updates so stay tuned to see how our tree is growing.We also did some planting of our own to celebrate EarthDay! We planted tomato, pea, bean and herb seeds in recycled cans to create our very own Edible Gardens! Wewill water and care for our plants and hopefully get to sample the fruits (or vegetables!!) of our labour soon!

This spring, the kids of PromiseLand have started exploringParables! To kick off this new theme, we watched theGodspell dramatization of “The Sower and the Seed”. Wethen created our own representations of the Parable byplanting a bean seed in four different environments andcarefully monitoring the outcomes. We will continue thisexploration with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, theParable of the Workers in the Vineyard and the Parable ofthe Prodigal Son. For each Parable, we are identifying thelesson and then trying to apply it to our own lives. It’ssometimes a challenge but it is definitely helping us to betterunderstand the Bible and Jesus’ ministry!

Our Young Anglican Leaders are such a dynamic, engagedand fun group! At the end of April, we took action to support AIDS/ HIV charities in Canada and Africa.Wearing colourfully decorated yellow t-shirts we walked5K along the Harbourfront, learning about AIDS and thework being done by charities around the world at variouspoints along the way. Our team raised over $2000 to besplit between the Prenatal and Dietary Clinic in Malawi,the Teresa Group in Toronto and the Howard Hospital inZimbabwe. YAL also helped make the event eco-friendlyby setting up recycling and compost and reminding participants to use the appropriate containers. We haverecently had some social events including two movies andcoming up on May 12th....a fun-filled day of Laser Tag,

music and food with youth groups in the neighbourhood!

PromiseLand and YAL will wrap up for the summer onSunday June 19th with a BBQ after the service. Over thesummer months, kids are invited to come down to theChapel of St. Nicholas for crafts, reading and movies.There will be a parent volunteer every Sunday to help set-up and supervise these activities. Thank you in advance foryour help in making this summer programme a success!!

I hope everyone has a fun and adventured filled summer!

A Word fromthe Wardens

THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME to be involved in the happeningsat Christ Church Deer Park. Definitely, THERE IS LIFEHERE!

The big news is that Samantha Caravan has accepted thepost of Rector of St. John’s, West Toronto, effective thebeginning of June. Losing Samantha will leave a great holeto be filled in our parish but we all are excited forSamantha and wish her well in her new parish. Please joinus after the 10:00 a.m. service on May 27th to acknowledgeall the many contributions that Samantha has made toCCDP over the years. Well done Samantha!

Kevin is keeping you informed about the staffing situationafter Samantha’s departure.

Corporation recently reviewed the first quarter financialresults for 2012 and is pleased to report that the situationlooks very positive. So far, revenues are up $50,000 overlast year and are $21,000 over our budget. There are basicallytwo reasons for these encouraging numbers. First, the regulargiving of the congregation is up substantially, due mainlyto the great response to last year’s stewardship campaign.Second, the parish received a very generous donation fromone of our faithful parishioners. On the expense side, weare almost $18,000 below the budget. This is in spite ofthe budget being significantly higher than 2011, due primarily to a higher salary burden. The bottom line is thatwe are at the break-even point, even though our Treasurerhad predicted that we would be about $39,000 in the redat this point in the year. We must keep up our efforts tofund and enhance our mission at CCDP.

The “Our Faith – Our Hope, Re-Imagined Church” campaign has just gotten under way at CCDP. We knowthat this campaign follows very closely on the heels of thevery successful parish campaign last fall, but the StewardshipCommittee is enthusiastic about the opportunities it willprovide to strengthen parishes in the Toronto Diocese. Todate the overall campaign has raised over $32,000,000 ofits $50,000,000 goal, about 75%. At CCDP, $492,000 hasalready been raised at the time this report was written. Thisis 70% of our $705,000 goal, even though parishioners are

only now being contacted! That shows the fantastic supportfor the campaign by those who have made pledges to date.The parish gets back directly 40% of everything raised upto the $705,000 goal, and 75% of anything raised abovethat goal. The Stewardship Committee is working towardsexceeding the $705,000 and believes that, once parishionersunderstand the value of the campaign, a higher level of support will be achieved.

When considering “Our Faith – Our Hope”, you are urgedto keep in mind that the monies raised do not go to fundoperations of the Diocese. Rather, they will fund programsat individual parishes throughout the Diocese (except forthe 10% that goes to outreach beyond its borders, includingthe Council of the North). This means that CCDP will notonly receive money back directly to build up our parish,but will have the opportunity to apply for funding of otherinitiatives that will further our mission. It is hoped that youwill thoughtfully consider donating to this campaign.

Corporation has just started to consider how best to planfor future growth at CCDP, which we feel is one of ourmost important responsibilities at the present time. We willshortly be meeting with an outside facilitator, who will beable to assist the parish to review its past visioning effortsand help to develop areas for future focus and action. Youwill be kept informed as to the process as it’s developed.

Part of planning for growth is the welcoming of newparishioners and their integration into our parish family.We hope to be able to revitalize this valuable ministry andany thoughts that you may have would be welcomed.

All the best for a great summer,

PropertyReport

THE CCDP PROPERTY COMMITTEE is responsible for providing guidance and direction to the Rector’s Warden(Property), and the Parish Administrator, to address currentproperty issues, and to plan for future needs of the Churchbuilding and outside grounds. The 2012 CCDP PropertyCommittee consists of: Art Huycke, Jean King, WalterBlackwell and Don Dority.

In the 2011 Vestry Report it was explained that TaylorHazell Architects Ltd. had conducted a comprehensiveevaluation of the slate roof. This consisted of inspectingboth the interior and exterior of the slate roofs over theChurch and Elliott Hall. Inspections occurred of the attic,insulation materials, eavestroughs, down pipes, flashings,snow guards, vent dormers, and most specifically, the slatetiles.

Taylor Hazell Architects conducted the roof assessmentwith the help of Roof Tile Management Inc. using scaffolding and ladders to access the slate roof. Five sampleareas of the roof were opened, conditions recorded, photographed, and slate samples taken and tested for,modulus of rupture, water absorption and weather resistance.The testing results of the slate tiles indicated a much-accelerated degradation in performance since the last roofevaluation, 16 years ago.

The architect’s report identified three areas of the slateroof, which required immediate repairs to avoid waterproblems:

• The North West Transept Roof of the Church

• The South West Transept Roof of the Church

• The East Slope of Elliott Hall at the junction betweenthe eves troughs and the dog house mechanical unit

In 2012 the CCDP Property Committee has concentratedtheir efforts on addressing the recommended repairs to theslate roof. The committee has received comprehensivequotations from three commercial roofers: Roof TileManagement Inc., Britannia Roofing Ltd. and Heather &Little Limited. All three companies specialize in slate roofrepairs and replacement for heritage buildings. Also, thecommittee investigated different roofing materials: slate

tiles, asphalt shingles and synthetic roof materials. TheCCDP Property Committee is currently reviewing thesequotations and will present the findings and recommenda-tions to Corporation shortly.

Recently completed property repairs in 2012 consisted ofthe following:

HVAC: Uwe Schorn Heating and Air Conditioning Ltd.corrected a water leak problem, originating from the boiler,by replacing a bearing assembly in the circulating pump;

Roof Tile Management Inc. repaired the north facingcracked eavestrough, which allows for more efficient discharge of water at grade;

Ayles Electric Inc. completed an electrical upgrade in theChurch Basement to Room #2;

The Men’s Washroom outside the Community Hall isscheduled for wall repairs and painting in June 2012.

The Anglican Diocese of Toronto has requested a buildinginspection for member Churches of the Eglinton Deaneryfor calendar year 2012. The CCDP Property Committeewill be assisting with this request - further details will follow.

Social Matters

A new feature by Phyllis Creighton...

Earth and UsAS ANGLICANS IN THIS DIOCESE, we honoured Earth Day on April 22nd. Archbishop Colin Johnson sent a bulletininsert for it and he has appointed an EnvironmentalWorking Group to give leadership. We pray for our stewardship of Earth knowing, from the biblical creationstories, that we have God-given responsibility for the thrivingof land, air, waters, plants, and creatures on this Earth.

Climate change, and what we must do about, it provokescontroversy. But there’s a critical new angle to think about!Have you come across Alanna Mitchell? On Sunday, May6th, I heard her speak on a panel at Yorkminster ParkBaptist Church. Its title -”Sleepwalking to Catastrophe” –and the organization presenting it, “For Our Grandchildren”,were intriguing!

As the first panelist, Alanna spoke about a problem that isjust beginning to be talked about and, she said, not wellknown. Though she was the Globe environmental reporterfor 14 years (1990—2004), she didn’t encounter this concern until later! Carbon dioxide concentration in theatmosphere, from the burning of fossil fuels, is seriouslyaffecting the oceans, making them 30 percent more acidicthan they have been in 55 million years. The creatures inthe ocean evolved when the chemistry was different andmore stable. They are now less able to form shells of calciumcarbonate and therefore to function. By 2050, if CO2 isstill produced at the same rate, the ocean could be 150times as acidic as now. And ocean acidification is irreversible.“There is still a window of time… but we are on thebrink,” she quietly concluded.

Alanna’s 2009 absorbing best-seller “Sea Sick: the GlobalOcean in Crisis” describes more fully our plight. Two and ahalf years of intrepid research on five continents went intoit. In the process, Alanna linked the work of a diversity ofscientists. Until she wrote this book, the critical role of theocean in giving breath to all creatures, through planktonproduced oxygen and carbon absorbing capability, was notfully understood. The ocean is, she says, the source of lifeon the planet and home of at least half of the mass of life.

It contains the switch of life, and as it warms and acidifies,that switch could be turned off. Experts say Alanna’s researchis invaluable. Her conclusions about ocean acidificationnow figure in public debates on climate change and globalwarming. Food for thought!

You might want to read Alanna’s book! Also, here are somerelevant websites to check out for actions you could take:www.forourgrandchildren.ca; www.toronto.anglican.ca/parish-life/social-justiceand on advocacy/environmnetal-issues; www.justearth.net/

The Spring Rummage

SALECHANGE IS A GIVEN, and so Rita Becker and I now say goodbye to running the Rummage Sales. JudithMaxwell will stay on to do the Treasures atChristmas time. A new group will take over theoverall co-ordination.

What a great Parish we have! In all, 76 volunteersworked together to accomplish this successful, threehour sale. The week leading up to the Sale is thegreatest as we see old friends again and catch up on the news. In church, the day after the sale. weadmire the great deals we acquired. It is so muchfun! Not to forget the nearly $12,000.00 we made,which is very welcome

We printed 80 flyers with directions as to where tofind what. I was amazed...when I went to handthem out, just before the doors opened, there whereat least 20 more people already in line than I hadflyers for!

Our Rector, Kevin Robertson, left a lovely messageon my answering machine, which he repeated laterin person, thanking us all for a job well done.

Please accept my own great thanks for all your help.A very special thank you has to go to Rita Becker.On Thursday I was so exhausted that I could nothave finished had she not, very silently, taken quite a lot of the load onto herself. Jean King and DenisDelisle too, were of great help...as always.

MJ Rosenthall

MJ and her merry band of volunteers produced one of the most successful sales of recent years, resulting inmany happy shoppers and raising nearly $12,000 forthe church.

Thank you to all those who donated such wonderfulitems, the sorters and pricers, the many who worked so hard on the day of the sale, and especially to MJ, for pulling it all together.

WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!

IT STARTED SMALL, BUT WITH A DREAM.

The first efforts involved art displays on easels in ElliottHall during our June, Open House BBQ events...mainlyfeaturing works by parishioners.

A committee was formed and, over time, shows weremounted in the Arthur Smith Room...first on easels andthen hung on the walls. A wider selection of artists wereencouraged to show their work and soon, one showbegan to follow another. In conjunction with necessaryproperty work, a professional hanging system wasinstalled...and not only group shows, but exhibits featuringsolo artists, from a wider community and varied disciplines,were featured...all embracing the spiritual in the creativeprocess.

The Gallery’s success...through parish interest, the artists’interest in showing here and sales of paintings (a percentageof which accrues to the church)...has come about throughthe dream, passion and hard work of one man, RameshKamash, himself a noted art photographer, along withthe invaluable help of his close friend, Nora Dobell.

Ramesh and Nora have now passed the torch...but theGallery will live on, a testament to their dedication andhard work. We owe them our thanks. Our hope is thatthose of us who carry on can uphold, and continue tofulfil, their dream.
