From the Rector
Of the Shameful Cross I remember my grandmother giving me a cross necklace when I was confirmed. I was in the sixth grade. I wore it to school, and one of my friends asked me that if Jesus had been killed by a gun, would I wear a gun around my neck. I thought the question ri-diculous at the time; my mother said the little boy “just didn’t know any better”; but now in hindsight, I’m afraid the question is a good one. Last year at the Festival of Flowers, just before
Easter, there was one exhibit consisting of displays of flowers all in the shape of crosses. I thought to myself, no matter hard we try to imagine it, there is nothing beautiful about a cross. In the ancient Near East crosses were used as instruments of torture and death for those who committed what was considered by the powers that be the ulti-mate crime: sedition, betrayal of the state. Death by crucifixion was the most horrible punishment conceived in the mind of Empire, designed to deter anyone else from similar conspiracy. And to make matters worse these crucifixions took place outside the walls of the city, on the highway, so all passersby could see the horror lest they harbored ill will against the state as well. To be killed and bur-ied outside the city walls was a shameful thing. It meant that the life of the vic-tim was of no account, out of community, lost among the stony rubble, vulner-able to scavengers, dug up by the dogs. Crucifixion was as much about shame as it was about death. And yet, still these crosses hang around our necks and adorn our churches. Iro-nies at best, that even amid the shameful brutality of our world, God is there in imaginative reverie begetting from the darkness, violence and shame… life and hope and dignity. It doesn’t add up, this irony, but it is in truth all we have to hope for. So in this season we embrace the ambiguity of the cross: it is a re-minder of the dark brutality of our world that wounds and shuns and shames; and it is also an outward and visible sign of a fragile but certain promise that our God is in solidarity with us in our darkest hours, and with all who suffer; that God suffers with all the crucified of our world…still shunned, still broken and still shamed. The cross bids us to remember and acknowledge the injustice and violence still rife among us…and…and, lest we lose sight… it bids us to hold fast to the promise that the good will stand with dignity yet… even if on shaky ground…and there is something beautiful about that.

Help Needed for Food Share Weekend!! The March Food Share event will take place this weekend. On Friday, 3/ 26, food bags will be packed at 5:30pm in Stir-ling Hall, and food distribution will be on Saturday, 3/ 27. Ordinarily, the same people come to help each month. BUT:
the Azalea Trail Run will also be held on that Saturday morning and many of the ‘regulars’ will be running or spec-tating during the same time as Food Share. We need help! If you can help, we need able bodies to arrive by
7:15am on Saturday to help take the frozen items out and bag them; the distribution will start at 8am and you’ll be fin-ished before 9. Please note: many of the streets around the church will be blocked to traffic, so be sure to come early enough to avoid the barricades or plan an alternate route.
Calling Layweeders and Others! Anyone who is interested, whether you are an ‘official’ layweeder or not, is invited to meet at the church this Saturday, March 27, at 9:30am to get the church grounds presentable for Easter. Bring your garden gloves and remember the Azalea Trail traffic!
Palm Crosses will be created in the kitchen of Stirling Hall on Saturday, March 27, beginning at 10am. Eve-ryone is invited to help, and it is not hard to learn! Please see note above concerning the Azalea Trail Run traffic.
The Christian Living Today class will discuss this week (3/28) the chapter on Palm Sunday from Marcus Borg's and Dominick Crossan's book The Last Week. Borg and Crossan provide the historical context necessary for a full understanding of Palm Sunday. They describe Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as a carefully planned counter-demonstra-tion to the parade of imperial Roman troops entering the city of God. Some excerpts from the chapter: …Pilate's procession embodied the power, glory and violence of the empire that ruled the world. Jesus' procession embodied an alternative vision, the kingdom of God. This contrast--between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Caesar--is central not only to the gospel of Mark, but to the story of Jesus and early Christianity. …Two processions entered Jerusalem that day. The same question, the same alternative, faces those who would be faithful to Jesus today. Which procession are we in? Which procession do we want to be in? That is the question of Palm Sunday and the week that is about to unfold. All members of the congregation are welcome to this ses-sion, which begins at 9:30am in the Walter K. Smith room. If you want a copy of the Palm Sunday chapter, email Henry Callaway at [email protected] .
Easter Day is a feast day in many ways! Breakfast will be held in the courtyard between services, and a champagne reception follows the 10:30 service. We need goodies! If you are interested and willing to bring food for either event, please call Jean Tucker (753-1984) or Charlotte Hall (473-8281).
IHN Week begins Easter Sunday! Sunday, April 4, is the beginning of All Saints’ next week to host Interfaith Hospitality Net-work/Family Promise. The week begins with supper on the evening of the 4th and concludes with breakfast on Sunday, April 11. If you would like to help with this important ministry, email Henry Brewster at [email protected] or call him at 338-0630.
You are invited to see Alabama Pub-lic TV's The Buddha (read about it at aptv.org) on Wednesday, April 7 (the Wed. after Easter) at the home of Gail Stilwell. It's by award-winning film maker David Grubin. It starts at 7pm so if you're interested in coming, it would be a good idea to arrive by 6:30. There'll be nibbles and cof-fee; please bring your own wine or whatever, if you'd like that. Gail's address is 245 S. Warren Street in the Church Street East district . Directions: going east on Government, pass Broad and go to the Ben May Library on the cor-ner of Washinton/Gov't. Turn right onto Wash-ington. Go one block to Church St and turn left; go two blocks to Warren and turn right. The house is in the third block on the left- a 2-story red brick house with a driveway on both sides of the house. We hope to see you there!
Prison Ministry to Begin If anyone is interested in participating in a Transition from Prison to Society Ministry or organizing com-mittee for the same, please contact Danny Moreau at [email protected] or at 272-0041.
Congratulations to Charlie and Laurie Bailey, who have become great-grandparents!! Granddaughter Anna and her husband, Caleb Clark, are the parents of Lila McDuffie Clark, born about a month ago.
Holy Week begins this Sunday with the “triumphant entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem. The jour-ney of Palm Sunday begins at All Saints with the Liturgy of the Palms, where palm crosses are blessed and distributed to the crowd which watches Jesus ride into the city on the back of a donkey. Shouts of “Hosanna!” quickly deteriorate, however, into those of “Crucify him!” as we listen to the Passion Narrative, this year from the Gospel of Luke. At the end of the service, we leave in relative silence...no grand music, no singing, just the bell tolling as it is tolled at the end of a funeral.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week, the mood remains quiet. There will be Holy Eucharist in the Chapel at 7:30am Monday and Tuesday, and at 12Noon on Wednesday.
The Triduum Sacrum or the “Sacred Three Days” are composed of the last three days of Holy Week: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The Triduum Sacrum and Easter are the yin and yang of our faith; the dark and the light. There is no Easter without first the arrest, crucifixion and death of Jesus of Nazareth. We are duly obligated as Christians to participate fully in the Holy walk of Holy Week. The joy of the Resurrection is made more poignant by also remembering the evil that we are up against in our world, the martyrdom of our Lord at the hands of corrupt power, one such outward and visible sign. Our liturgy is the means by which we pay attention to our world and the means by which we envision the way to live in it. As we live the liturgy, we are informed for living our lives with profound integrity. Make the commitment this Holy Week to walk the way of the Cross, that we may know again the gladdening light of our salvation in Christ’s resurrection.
~ The Maundy Thursday service will begin at 6:00pm in the church. This service of Holy Eucharist is more austere than most eucharists; the sanctuary is more bare than usual; people will kneel on the cold, hard marble floor to wash each other’s feet, to remember and re-enact what Jesus did for his disci-ples on this night; after the Eucharist is over, the altar will be stripped bare in preparation for the day of cru-cifixion and the cross will be draped in black. We will leave the church in silence.
~ The Good Friday Liturgy will be held at 12Noon and repeated at 6pm. There is no Eucharist on Good Friday, no music. We will hear the Passion Gospel again, this time from St. John. We will pray the Solemn Collects. Silence is pervasive.
~ The Holy Saturday Liturgy, although quite brief, is also quite profound. It begins at 9:00am in the choir area of the church. Again, there is no celebration of the Eucharist. An anthem from the Burial Rite is said. It’s about waiting. And hope.
The Great Vigil of Easter is the first service of Easter Day, held at a convenient time between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter Morning. Our service will begin outside the Government Street doors of the church at 7:30pm on Saturday night. The service consists of four parts: ~ The Service of Light. We will light the Paschal Candle from the newly-kindled fire and process into a dark church. As we find our places, candlelight will be spread among the congregation while the Exsultet is sung. ~ The Service of Lessons. Five lessons describing God’s saving deeds in history will be read, each followed by a hymn or psalm, and a collect. ~ Christian Initiation, or the Renewal of Baptismal Vows. This year, two infants will be baptized! ~ The Holy Eucharist. ~ After the Blessing and Dismissal of the Eucharist, our processional will be led by members of The Excel-sior Band, who will take us to Stirling Hall for a wonderful Agapé Feast! The church will provide roast lamb, and drinks: tea, wine and water. The rest is potluck. Please bring a dish to share (not finger-foods, but dinner food)! The Band will play, we will eat and laugh and dance, and celebrate our Lord’s return together. Alleluia!
