NEWSLETTER FOR FINNS IN THE OTTAWA AND MONTREAL REGIONS VOL. 17, NO. 50

Message from the Editor

pring is in the air. The sun is shining brightly, the snow has melted and children are

reuniting in the parks. After quite a mild winter, the spring season has officially begun.

It is a refreshing time of year to watch the flowers bloom and leaves open up. It truly

is miraculous to notice the first sprigs of grass begin to appear in the ground, listen to the

birds chirping as they return to a warmer climate, and watch brilliant colours of tulips and

daffodils unfolding. The days are getting ever longer and we sense an extra surge of energy

around this time of the year.

In cold climates, spring cleaning has become a tradition for many households in preparation

for the summer months. It entails organizing, deep cleaning and purging. This is a good

opportunity to gather items for the Finnish church bazaar. Closely related to this spring

cleaning is the nesting instinct. An urge which our household is currently experiencing as we

are preparing for the birth of our second child in early April. Suddenly, sorting every closet

and shelf has become of utmost importance to me, while my husband is laboriously painting

the baby’s room. Yohan, our 19-month-old son, must be feeling this energy as he places

everything into neat piles and watches daddy from the bottom of the ladder with a paint

brush in hand.

Spring symbolizes rebirth and renewal, and my family will be experiencing this to the utmost

with an actual birth. Our little trinity will be transformed into a family of four, shifting

energies in our household. In the meanwhile, we will enjoy the upcoming Easter holidays

amongst family, before these great shifts begin. While flipping through some culinary

magazines in preparation for the holiday meal, I noted that the fashion world has marked

vibrant brights mixed with practical neutrals as the new spring 2010 colours. I look down at

my yellow T-shirt and, feeling much like an Easter egg, would like to wish you all a very

happy Easter!

Kalevala juhla kikkokodilla

Kalevalajuhlamme alkoi Jumalanpalveluksen jälkeen. Tällä

kertaa se sattui viralliseen Kalevalan päivään,

28 helmikuuta. Sitä sanotaan myös suomalaisen

kulttuurin päiväksi. Suomessa se on virallinen liputuspäivä

ja Onnin nimipäivä.

Sivistyksen, lukutaidon ja uskonnon tulo Suomen johti

vähitellen muistinvaraisen kansanperinteen

unohtumiseen. Se oli parhaiten vielä tallessa Karjalassa,

mistä Elias Lönnrot avustajineen keräsi Kalevalan runot,

sekä Suomen että Venäjän puolelta. Venäjän Karjalassa

on jopa Kalevala niminen kyläkin. Lönnrot muunteli

joitakin runoja, jotta tarina olisi johdonmukainen.

Eiväthän runolaulajatkaan aina kaikkea muistaneet ja

siten sisältö varmasti muuttui vuosien kuluessa.

Ensimmäinen Kalevala ilmestyi 1849 ja toinen muutamia

vuosia myöhemmin. Kalevala on myös monen taiteilijan

inspiraation lähde.

Ismo toivotti juhlavieraat tervetulleiksi laulamalla muutaman rivin Kalevalan 21. runosta,

missä Pohjolan emäntä toivottaa sulhasen tervetulleeksi hääjuhlaan. Pastori Matthew lauloi

ja säesti kitarallaan englanninkielisen virren. Mirjam Kytölä kertoi Kalevalan merkityksestä

tämän päivän ihmisille ja lausui osan Kalevalan viimeisestä runosta. Kanteleryhmä esiintyi

Kalevala-aiheisesti jo Jumlanpalveluksen aikana esittämällä rukouksen “Varjele vakainen

Luoja” ja juhlassa viisi kappletta. Lauloimme kaikki yhdessä Karjalaisten laulun,

Soittajapaimenen, Lemminkäisen äidin ja juhlan päätökseksi Suomen salossa. Yhdessäoloa

jatkettiin kahvia nauttien.

The year of the Arctic…up close!

Mission Sunday brings throat-singing to Montreal Finns

Pastor Matthew

Even before members of the G-7 were mushing dogsleds in Iqaluit, members of St. Michael’s

Finnish Lutheran Church of Montreal enjoyed their own “Arctic immersion” on 17 January. At

the invitation of Pr Matthew Anderson, interim minister for St Michael’s, two representatives

of Canada’s northern communities came to church with the Lutherans. Inuit throat-singers,

Nina Segalowitz and Tagralik Partridge, performed three times.

Nina is originally from the Northwest

Territories, and Tagralik from Kuujjuak, on

the far northern coast of Quebec across

from Iqaluit. In addition to their

performance, Tagralik explained how

throat-singing was originally a pastime

employed by women in traditional

communities as they worked and spent

time in families. While there are set

“pieces” for throat-singing, there is also

some room for improvisation, and the

game ends when one of the singers

(Tagralik admitted that it’s usually her!)

starts laughing.

For more information, see the St. Michael’s page at the Montreal Lutheran Council website:

Tietoisku Montrealin suomalaisesta kirjastosta

Viron lähihistoriaa lukee kuin jännäriä

Virolaisen vanhanrouvan aamuidylli särkyy, kun hän löytää pihaltaan henkihieverissä olevan nuoren naisen. Sofi Oksasen Finlandia-palkittu Puhdistus alkaa

kärpäsellä Aliide Truun kamarin verhossa ja jatkuu kuin armoton jännitysromaani taitavasti sommiteltujen takautumien avulla. Säälimättömässä takaa-ajossa henkilöt paljastuvat yllättävästi aivan toisiksi kuin olisi luullut, ja Viron lähihistoria hahmottuu lukijalle. Kirjailija käyttää osin samoja naiskaupan teemoja kuin

ruotsalainen kulttidekkaristi Stieg Larsson Millennium-trilogiassaan (olisipa hauskaa jos joku lahjoittaisi tuota sarjaa kirjastoomme!). Piesty naisen ruumis symboloi

miehitettyä maata.

Finlandian lisäksi Puhdistus on kerännyt kuusi muuta huomattavaa suomalaista kirjallisuuspalkintoa sekä Viron valtiollisen kunniamerkin, Maarjamaan ristin. Puhdistusta esitettiin kolmella loppuunmyydyllä kaudella näytelmänä Kansallisteatterissa, ja Tallinnassa siitä tehdään oopperaa

kaupungin kulttuuripääkaupunkivuodeksi 2012. Ruotsalaiskriitikko kehuu kirjan kuvaavan loistavasti kommunismin ja rosvokapitalismin väliin puristettua Viroa.

Jyväskylässä syntyneellä Sofi Oksasella on suomalainen isä ja virolainen diplomi-insinööriäiti. Kirjailijan erikoinen goottityyli on vienyt hänet usein ”siistiä ja asiallista” suosivien suomalaisten hampaisiin. Todellinen mediakohu Suomessa syntyi Oksasen suomittua suomalaisia miehiä väkivaltaisuudesta ja masentuneisuudesta Tanskan televisiossa, jonka ohjelmassa kirjailijat kertoivat kansansa erityispiirteistä. Sofi Oksasen loistokas ja runollinen kielenkäyttö nostaa hänet Suomen tämän hetken

kirjailijoiden eturiviin. Monet kiitokset Pirkko Hakalalle merkittävästä lahjoituksesta!

Toinen sukulaiskansojemme vaiheista kertova romaani on Toivo Pekkasen Inkerin romaani.

Kotkalainen työläiskirjallisuuden klassikko kirjoitti inkeriläiskylän vaiheista jo jatkosodan aikana, mutta syystä tai toisesta, luultavasti poliittisesta, se jäi silloin julkaisematta. Romaani kertoo vakaaseen pekkaslaiseen tyyliin Juhana Korpolaisesta ja hänen kylästään Venäjän vallankumouksesta alkaen 20-luvun lopun Stalinin vainoihin.

Kerrotaanpa taas, että kirjaston keskivaiheilta löytyy hylly nimeltä UUTUUDET. Siinä pidetään kirjastollemme uusia kirjoja; ei välttämättä vasta ilmestyneitä. Antti Tuurilta on vuodelta 2006 Suuri asejuna Pietarista, jonka sisältää suomen kielen miehekkäimmäksi lauseeksi sanotun ”Minua ovat koneet aina totelleet”. Hyvin merkittävä ja järkyttävä on Khaled Hosseinin afganistanilaisromaani Tuhat loistavaa aurinkoa.

Message from the Pastor

Minä olen, sinä olet, me olemme!

These last few weeks of winter I’ve had the pleasure of taking Maisa Suhonen’s beginners’

Finnish class at the church home, together with four other students. The teacher and the

other students are thoughtful, patient and kind: they put up with my head-scratching and

my faltering questions, and the students show a real willingness to help each other out as

we struggle with this “different but not difficult” (so the text says!) language. It’s been

challenging, but fun.

But as I learn the basics, I’m reminded that almost every language has at least some of the

same kinds of rules. Whether it’s English, French, Greek or Finnish, sometimes it’s “I” who is

the subject of the action (minä) sometimes you (sinä) and sometimes we (me).

As the snow melts and we celebrate Easter 2010, it’s time to look again at who “me

olemme” described at St Michael’s Finnish Church. Who ARE we as a church? Who calls the

building home? Who uses it? Who feels some connection to it? And more importantly, how

can we who are in the congregation serve the wider community, so that the “we” becomes

more and more inclusive? How can we reach out in solidarity, in justice, in celebration, in

learning, in support, in service, and in love, to all those who even only sometimes feel they

are part of our community?

Easter reminds us of one thing: new life is for all. There is so much death in this world, and

so much stress and pain, that these days a message of new life is doubly important. Against

the very real horror and trouble that we read about in the papers or see on television, we

have a message that there is ALSO hope and love, there is the possibility of life even in

death, that the world was created good, and that we are stronger together than alone. One

of Jesus’ last prayers, according to John, was that those who followed him should be “one”,

and live in love. Death can divide people, but it can also unite. Spring is traditionally a time

for new beginnings, and this year perhaps more than most, that may also be true of

St. Michael’s.

Easter is traditionally a time of rebirth. May that be true of us, as well. Me olemme…the people of

God. Me olemme….St. Michael’s Church. Me olemme….a community with a future and a hope.

Happy Easter!

Pastor Matthew

St. John’s Lutheran Church INSHALLAH IN CONCERT

Saturday, 17 April 2010, 5 pm, St. John’s Lutheran

In performance with Director Debbie Lou Ludolph. A free-will offering will be taken to

support the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary’s new Kanata Centre for Global Song.

The concert will also feature St. Michael’s Kantele Group!

Inshallah is an outreach of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary’s newly inaugurated Kanata Centre

for Global Song. Inshallah’s tour to Montreal is being sponsored by the Montreal Lutheran

Council, Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and some Montreal Lutheran churches. For an

interesting article on Inshallah by the Kitchener Waterloo Record, please see:

http://news.therecord.com/article/588535

Formed in 2007, Inshallah has grown from 20 singers to a core of 65 singers

from the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary (WLS) and the wider ecumenical

community. The choir is committed to singing songs from faith communities

around the world and seeks to understand the contexts of their origin.

Inshallah is an Arabic word meaning "God willing"; the name was chosen to

honour the origin of the choir, formed during a trip to the Holy Land when

30 people from WLS sang, prayed together and returned home determined

to continue this experience.

Debbie Lou Ludolph, Director

And consider taking in the following:

Friday evening, 16 April: Come and meet newly-arrived Lutheran Pastor Jim Slack at a

welcome reception for Inshallah at Christ the Redeemer (corner Anselme Lavigne and

Westpark Boulevard, Dollard-des-Ormeaux). Food, conversation and no doubt some

spontaneous singing!

Saturday, 17 April, 2-4 pm: Inshallah will be leading open workshops for anyone

interested in singing, global music, and how these rich resources can be used in worship.

You do not need musical training to join in – just enthusiasm! Location: St. John’s Lutheran,

corner Jeanne Mance and Prince Arthur, downtown.

Saturday, 17 April, 7 pm: Don’t go away! After the concert, stay for an evening of fun

and fellowship at Luther Pub Night; enjoy premium beer and more great music; all funds

raised for the Seminary!
