    PCUSA ORDINATION EXAM PREPARATION WORKSHOPS

    Ordination Exam preparation workshops are offered only once a year, so do take advantage of these if you plan to takeordination exams this August or next January. One of the main reasons people fail to pass an exam is a failure to readthe question thoroughly or a failure to follow general directions. Dont be one of those failures. All workshops will be

    held in McMillan 210. Contact Ann Fields for more information.

    By Mary Elizabeth Prentice, MDiv Middler

    My Good Friday was spent relaxing and readingfor class and a bit of surfing the internet. A friend sent mea link to a Facebook account of Passover and Easter. Ihave to say I laughed a bit.

    Passover Facebook Quotes:

    The Israelites has written a note on God's Wall:We're suffering!

    Moses has written a note on God's Wall: Er, me?

    God has written a note on Moses' Wall: Yeah, you.See Wall to Wall1

    Easter Facebook Quotes:

    Jesus has challenged The Disciples in the gameStay Awake With Me

    Peteris it just me or does everyone think John istotal a brown-noser?2

    Then I heard that Trinity Church in Lower Manhat-tan was twittering people the Good Friday story fromnoon to 3 p.m. this past Friday. So I went to The NewYork Times and sure enough the story of Jesus crucifix-

    ion was reduced to three hours worth of 140-charactertweets.

    The Gospel:Matthew 27:11-14 Now Jesus stood before the gov-ernor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thouthe King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thousayest. And when he was accused by the chief priestsand elders, he answered nothing. Then saith Pilateunto him, Hearest thou not how many things they wit-ness against thee? And he gave him no answer, noteven to one word: insomuch that the governor mar-veled greatly.

    Twitter:Pilate: Bad feeling about this. The prisoner wont talk.The priests accuse him of blasphemy and sedition,and he just stands there, waiting.

    Today I am left with echoes of at least four friendson campus whose hard drives have crashed in the lastweek. This contrasted with the humor of what was seenabove leaves me again in a dialectical tension knowingthe benefits of technology but also stunned, amazed, hu-mored, and dismayed by the use of technology.

    Where does the church fit into this tension?

    A Weekly Column Offering Musings, Insights, and Reflections on the Seminary Life

    EddiesBy Paul Dubois, MDiv Senior

    When I was in college we would ride innertubes down Clear Creek in Golden, Colorado, wherethe creek flows out of the mountains (think GuadalupeRiver, but much colder, steeper gradient, and biggerrocks.) This could only be done in late summer, afterthe runoff had subsided and before cooler autumn airset in. At first we leisurely floated down the calm wa-ter stretches, but as our courage increased we wouldmove a little farther upstream, putting in just below thenext large rapid. After starting here a few times, wewould gain the courage to shoot the rapid itself.

    There were a few rapids that had to be hit justright, or one would be sucked into a swirling eddy.That was the thrillavoid the eddies, avoid gettingspilled. An eddy is a counter-current that usuallyforms on the downstream side of a rock or other ob-struction. An eddy behind a large rock might just be acalm place of slowly circulating water. You could stayhere for a long time. Fish hang out in these eddiesbecause they provide a calm place. An eddy like thisis a strange oasis amidst the rushing and chaotic wa-ters. A tearfully favorite memory is of my friend Andygetting caught in an eddy like this that slowly pulledhim towards a rock against which was stuck the car-cass of a dead cow that had floated out of the moun-tains. I still laugh at this memory23 years later.

    An eddy behind a large rapid, however, cansuck you back towards the water that is crashingdown over the rocks. These can be dangerous.There is one rapid/eddy in particular that sticks in mymind, and it took us a long time to muster the courageto run this one. The creek narrows, and the only wayto pass is on the extreme left, but the flow is pushingeverything to the right. Just a little to the center andyoure caught. My younger brother Mathew, who wasa freshman my senior year, got caught there. The

    eddy pulled him in towards the water pouring over therock, and he was spilled. His inner tube shot down-stream, but he did not. In the two or three secondsthat he was under water, I fearfully imagined thephone call I would have to make to Mom and Dad...We were pretty stupid back then, but, oh, it was fun!Even Mathew rode that one again. But thinkingback... that was probably my last time.

    Eddies are where the action is; you want toget close, but not too close. Skirting the edge of a bigeddy was like riding a roller coaster, teetering on theedge for a moment and then being spun away by the

    current, accelerated downstream.

    I found myself getting sucked into anothereddy this past week, a swirling mess of conflicting en-

    ergies and emotions, at one moment feeling the ex-citement, at the next, fear of being spilled. I enteredinto a place where my gifts and graces were affirmedand welcomed. There was a sense of being at home,that all of this calling and seminary stuff does have ahappy ending. I had a job to do, a purpose. Butsoon after, all that changed as I was quickly spunaround to hear that the situation is hopeless, the shipis sinking, and that I was welcome to mess with thisbut would get little help, appreciation, or success.The eddy had pulled me in.

    I struggled in the water for a while, desperately

    paddling to get unstuck, all the time wondering howfoolish I was to get so close to this mess. Fear of get-ting spilled overwhelmed me. Gifts or not, I didnthave to get in the water. I should have known therisks. I was perfectly dry standing on the bank. Whywould anyone risk getting in the water? The joyousaffirmations of myself that rang in Palm Sunday gaveway to the terror of Good Friday, and I was ready tobolt. I would be the smart, sensible, and rational anti-Messiah who said My will, not yours.

    But I knew that was not authentic, either. Itwas fear. To recognize fear, to name it, is in largemeasure to diminish its power.

    The fear subsided and so did the turbulence.This eddy did not have the power to spill me. I wasntbeing swirled into some pending doom. With my feargone, this eddy was not the dangerous, threateningkind but rather the calm, protective kind. From theshelter of this eddy, calmly drifting from within themidst of turbulence in the stream beyond, I could seethe chaotic waters of life being lived swirling past. Icould see the pain of those around me, the frustration,the hurt, the loss of hope and the searching for hope.I had felt the nail holes.

    It is written that all rivers run to the sea. My

    natural, imperial tendency is to see the church as thismainstreamthe great movement of the cosmos to-wards the sea, towards thy will, not mine. Lets re-move the obstructions, straighten the channel anddeepen it, widen the flood plain. Lets get more andmore water moving in this direction, and faster. Butthis is misguided. It is wrong. The church belongs inthose places where fear pulls people against the gra-dient of Gods love. The church belongs in the ed-dies, witnessing to the love that casts out fear. Wehave a church because of the eddies, not because ofthe sea.
