Dear Friends,
In March of 2015, a man who was a teacher and role-model for me died. His name was Fred Craddock. He was a scholar,
a teacher, a preacher, a writer, and a pastor. In the field of preaching, he was nationally prominent. His warmth, his wit,
and his way of engaging listeners, and helping other preachers do the same, made a wonderful impact on many of us. I
didn’t get to study with him personally, but I read his books and heard him lecture and preach and learned a great deal
from him.
Two days after he died, the president of a very conservative seminary publicly blasted him, condemning his approach to
preaching as dead wrong and accusing him of undermining the authority of the Bible and the authority of preachers. His
words completely misrepresented Craddock, and they expressed not only disagreement, but derision. Such
denouncements are not uncommon from a certain kind of militant fundamentalist preacher. What truly shocked me,
though, was that this denunciation was issued two days after Dr. Craddock’s death, on the day of his funeral.
It all came back to me earlier this year when Justice Antonin Scalia died. The unexpected news brought fitting expressions
of sorrow, sympathy, affirmation, and praise. But just as quickly at the news of his death, the Internet spewed forth
derision. Many people on Twitter and Facebook and in the blogosphere went well beyond criticism of his positions and his
legacy. In many posts there was something almost gleeful and gloating in their spite for him. I was no fan of Justice
Scalia's social views and politics. And I know that the Internet is the perfect medium for a free flow of rudeness and
savagery. Still, it is horrifying how the gates of hateful speech fly open at the instant of someone's death.
I guess "dancing on the grave" of an opponent has always been done, but it's done more publically now and is somehow
more accepted. Do notice that it's a bi-partisan problem: the · attack on Dr. Craddock at his death came from the far right;
the attack on Justice Scalia at his death came from the left. The indecency of our public discourse has come to this.
No one reading these words has likely taken part in such talk, but the toxic spreading of it does invite a reconsideration of
our calling at such a time. What does it mean in our present culture of hatred, to be, as Jesus said we are, "the light of the
world"? Well, I notice that light has the quality of silence; and now, more than ever, a certain kind of luminous silence may
be required of us. Often it is essential that love raise its voice and speak out; but when everyone else is yelling, maybe it's
time to do something distinctively different. What if you and I declared a moratorium for ourselves on badmouthing anyone
with whom we disagree? Still expressing our positive convictions, what if we refrained from negative speech about persons
who think otherwise? And what if, far more than holding our tongues, we actually prayed, and placed ourselves in the light
of divine love, and sought the personal transformation that would make us genuinely peaceable? It's not ultimately the
hostile speech that's killing us after all; it's the smallness of soul.
The oddest thing about attacking someone who has died is that a death should have the opposite effect. Death reveals to
us more than anything that we are all the same. We loved, we hurt, we did wrong, we did right, God loved us equally; and
in the Eternal Light, our differences dissolve to nothing, nothing that will last. There comes a day for us all when we will
literally have nothing more to say. Until then, maybe we should practice saying a lot less on certain matters and in certain
tones, and a great deal more on what will give love and life.
Christ’s peace,
It’s Not Too late to Turn in Your Time & Talents Covenant: This is the time of year when our congrega-
tion has the opportunity to sign up for activities and service for the coming year. We need ushers, greeters, Sunday School teachers for all age groups and help with belonging, fellowship, pastoral care and outreach activities and projects. There are extra forms available in the church office and sanctuary for your convenience. You may mail back the one you received in the mail recently or bring it to the office or place in the offering plate on Sunday. Please consider sharing the gifts and skills with which God has blessed you by answering this call to serve God through the life of this congregation.
officer appreciation dinner This year’s Star Wars themed dinner celebrated the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love given by our retiring officers during their years of service to our church. Staff, deacons and elders welcomed newly elected officers with a hearty “May the force be with you,” along with small light sabers to remind them of the Christ light we all carry within us. Princess Leia (Lindy Vogado) and Droid S3SPCO (Jeannie Ford) led the celebration. Food Service Manager, Sage Arnold, along with members of the Fellowship Ministry and some great volunteers put together festive food that included Tie Fighter appetizers, Vader Veggies and Droid Dip, Jar Jar Links in a Blanket, Light Saber Fruit, Han Solo Sliders on Princess Leia Buns, Storm Trooper Potatoes, Chewbacca Brownies, Wookie Cookies and Yoda Soda.
When a loved one dies, one of the most common early
reactions is an intense yearning, a sense that part of you is
missing, and a hunger to have that person back. Sharing
stories often provides solace and helps ease the heartbreak.
Our church is providing a place to share those stories. Our
speaker for May 17 is Phillip Shell and our clergy will be
chaplain Stacey Hammons.
On the third Tuesday of every month, our church hosts a
Faith and Grief Luncheon for the community from noon to
1:00 p.m. in Second Hall. Participants will experience:
A supportive community of persons who have
experienced the death of a loved one.
Comfort through scripture and prayers
Encouragement through personal stories
Hope in sharing your feelings and experiences
Registration for May 17 can be made by visiting
www.faithandgrief.org or by calling (469) 251-9612
If you are interested in receiving more information about
Faith and Grief Ministry, contact Karen Akin at
(501)227-0000 or [email protected] or go on line
to www.faithandgrief.org.
On Sunday, May 15, Second Presbyterian Church will receive
the Pentecost Offering, one of the four special offerings spon-
sored by our denomination. The purpose of this offering is to
help bring God’s transforming and redeeming love to children at
risk, to nurture young people’s growing faith, and to provide op-
portunities for young adults to become spiritual leaders. Sixty
percent of the offering we receive will be used by the PC (USA)
for child advocacy, youth programming, and support of the
Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) program.
The remaining forty percent of the offering will be used by our
congregation to fund local programming which supports children,
youth, and young adults, especially those at-risk or in need. The
recipient of the local portion of our Pentecost Offering will be the
Interfaith Center at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, which
works to reduce hatred and fear among the world religions. In
particular, our offering will go to fund the salary of Ms. Sophia
Said, the Associate Director of Interfaith Dialogue and Educa-
tion. Ms. Said helps to coordinate the Center’s Multi-Faith Youth
Group and the Interfaith Friendship Camp as well as anti-
bullying programming in schools. She also conducts workshops
and presentations related to Muslim-Christian dialogue, and she
was one of our Fall 2015 Wednesdays Together speakers. We
hope that you will give generously to this special offering.

Paula McLain's novel Circling the Sun is based on the life of Beryl Markham. In 1936 she was the
first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from Europe to North America.
Raised with the children of the natives who worked on her father's farm in British East Africa, Beryl
was free-spirited, self-reliant, determined, and adventurous. As a child, she survived being
attacked by a lion and went on to become a famous racehorse trainer, bush pilot, and writer.
McClain's novel reveals a great deal about her personal life including her marriages and her
relationships with well-known people of the time.
Visitors are welcome. Contact Fayrene Johnson at [email protected] or 663-2733.

Adult Sunday School Class: ” The Hebrew Prophets” May 1 - June 26 in Room 65/66
Leaders: Special Guest Paul Custodio Bube and Henry Goodspeed
Paul Custodio Bube (May; Pre-canonical*, Amos, Hosea and Micah pp. 1-57) and Henry Goodspeed (June; 1st Isaiah,
Jeremiah and Ezekiel pp. 58-136).
Although the Hebrew Prophets do contain messianic messages agreed upon by both Christians and Jews, this course is
built upon the primary assumption that the prophets had a message relevant to the moral and religious situation of their
own day. While it is granted that times have changed it is denied that the basic issues of life are different today from
those of the days of the prophets. People still trust in material strength and delight in wealth and luxury while they
forget God. People still heed the speaker who presents the pleasant message and reject tough-love. The prophets,
properly interpreted, speak to ongoing issues of a world in need of direction with regard to spiritual, political and social
issues.
Paul Custodio Bube is the W. Lewis McColgan Professor of Religion, Lyon College. He also teaches courses for Lay
Ministry training for the Presbyterian Church. The courses he has taught include Hebrew Bible and New Testament
studies, The Minor Prophets, World Religions, Ethics (including Business and Professional and Christian Ethics), The Early
Church, Women and the Bible, Advanced Seminar in Religion and Philosophy and Process Thought. Paul holds a PhD
University of Southern California in Theological and Philosophical Ethics.
Henry Goodspeed has taught numerous classes at Second Presbyterian Church since 1979. He has a degree in Biblical
and Patristic Greek from Abilene Christian University and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.
* “pre-canonical” are prophets who do not have a book named after them like Elijah

Cotham Lectures 2016 – Diana Butler Bass: Save the dates! Diana Butler Bass, author of Grounded: Finding God in the World, Will be Westover Hills Presbyterian Church’s 2016 Cotham Lecturer, May 22 – 23, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. A leading commentator on religion, politics, and culture, she follows up her acclaimed book Christianity After Religion by arguing that what appears to be a decline in religious practice actually signals a major transformation in how people understand and experience God.
The "distant" God of conventional religion has given way to a more intimate sense of the sacred that is with us in the world. This shift, from a vertical understanding of God to a God found on the horizons of nature and human community, is at the heart of a spiritual revolution that surrounds us - and that is challenging not only religious institutions but political and social ones as well.
Diana holds a Ph.D. in American Religious History from Duke University. After a dozen years teaching, she became a full-time writer, independent researcher, educator, and consultant. Her work has been cited in the national media, and she has ap-peared on CNN, FOX, PBS, and on NPR.
For more information, contact Westover Hills Presbyterian Church at (501) 663-383, www.westoverhills.org
Coffee with Sophia Said on Sunday, May 15 during Sunday School: Sophia Said, program director for The Interfaith Cen-ter, will be our Minute for Ministry Speaker during all three worship services on Sunday, May 15.

Sophia is well known in Arkansas for her work in interfaith dialogue. She has been instrumental in develop-ing a multi-faith youth group, gathering people of different faiths around shared meals, and in developing the Interfaith Friend-ship Camp. A portion of the Pentecost Offering received on May 15 will go to support her work in these areas.

Our millennials at Ferncliff on a retreat led by Emily
Wilkes and sponsored by the Young Adult Ministry
of Second Presbyterian Church.
The Property Ministry has provided two Lifepack CR Plus Automated
External Defibrillators (AED). The AED is fully automated with a simple
two-step process of turning on the device and applying the electrode
pads to the victim. The device provides clear directions to the user.
The device is designed to deliver a shock only if it determines a heart
needs it. No one even needs to press a shock button. The AED’s have
adult and child size electrode pads.
One AED is located in a white defibrillator box above the water foun-
tain and next to the fire extinguisher outside the Chapel and across to
the men’s restroom. The other device is located in a white defibrillator
box on the lower floor next to the fire extinguisher and across from the
elevator. The elevator is located across from the Great Hall.
