My Friend, Marcus Borg

Part of my daily routine is checking the CBC news, Bayshore Broadcasting news, and also looking at my “newsfeed” on Facebook. By using all of these avenues, I usually have a reasonable idea of what is happening in our world. I certainly appreciate Facebook because what my colleagues and friends share as “news” isn’t always in the secular sphere. This past week, that was certainly the case. This past week in January, one of the greatest theologians of our day, Marcus Borg, died. Borg was among many names that we might know for modern theological thought such as; John Dominic-Crossand, John Shelby Spong, Nadia Boltz-Weber, Phyllis Tickle, and Brian McLaren. Individuals who help us rethink our relationship with God, each other, our world, and also help us re-imagine what it means to be human. I first encountered Marcus Borg in his book, “The Heart of Christianity: Rediscovering a Life of Faith.” I had heard about Borg and thought his book would be great for a community coffee shop book study I was leading; how right I was. As I read “The Heart of Christianity”, I was refreshed and challenged in healthy ways by Borg’s way of thinking. As I flip back through the book again, I’m not surprised by how many underlined lines and paragraphs I marked and how many times I write comments like, “Amen!”, “Yes!”, “Yes, for us and others.”, and many large doodles of stars to mark sections I really liked. Marcus Borg was an amazing theologian. He viewed the faith we share plainly and with humility and he was open with not being sure about being right. To Borg, being right wasn’t what was important; it was being humble before God and journeying together that we might deepen our faith and lives grounded in God.

To be quite frank, there is so much I could say about Marcus Borg that it would take far too much for a simple devotional piece. Instead, I share with you one aspect Borg has shared which means a lot to me, that being, what Borg calls a “thin place”. A thin place is where our hearts are opened and we experience the divine; a time when the distance between us and God seems very very thin. This is a close and intimate place to be. This, however, doesn’t change how close God is; God is always close, it is our perception that changes how we perceive God.

In our Christian practises, worship can be a thin place. “Worship can become a thin place. Instead, this is one of

its primary purposes. Of course, worship is about praising God. But worship is not about God needing praise. I recall hearing a radio preacher talking about how God loves to be praised. He has God sound like a narcissist. Rather, worship has the power to draw us out of ourselves. Worship is directed to God, but is in an important sense, for us.” This is what we strive for, for all who gather for worship whether in a church or in nature. I pray that we may continue to strive to create opportunities for “thin places” in our lives and faith and practices. I encourage you, if you haven’t read or heard of Marcus Borg, get to know him. His thoughts will lift your spirit and excite your imagination. You can check his books out of our local libraries or you can listen to many talks, interviews, and lectures Marcus Borg has given on YouTube. Simply go to www.youtube.com and search “Marcus Borg”. May his words and thought continue to inspire us for generations to come.

Blessings,

Chad+

MOVIE NIGHT ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’

Where: Christ Church When: Fri. Feb. 27th

Time: 6:00 p.m.

1. Some British retirees (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy) decide to outsource their retirement to exotic and less expensive India. Lured by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and imagining a life of leisure in lush surroundings, they arrive and find that the Marigold is actually much less luxurious than its advertisements. Nevertheless it slowly begins to charm them in unexpected ways.

Well, I’m doing it again! The annual Mittleholtz family letter is here. Like every other year in review that we have shared, this one is quite interesting. (I think). We’ve had one full year in Sault Ste. Marie, and we have gotten use to city living. Living in the city is great over all. The only down-side according to Noah and Ethan is the lack of “snow days”. In fact, there have been none. (Even with the over 170 cm of snow we received in November!) Let’s start with the boys… Noah is now 9, and in grade 4. He attends Rosedale Public French Immersion School. I think he is enjoying being in the “big kids school”. This school is much smaller than FH Clergue, so, as a parent, I feel like we have a better connection. He is enjoying piano lessons with Mrs. Kettles, and is looking forward to testing for the first time with the Royal Conservatory in June. He is curling again out of the Soo Curlers, but this year, twice per week. He has some fantastic coaches, and has improved leaps and bounds just in the last 2 months. Noah also continues with Tae Kwon Do and swimming lessons. At church, he is beginning to read and be an acolyte. Ethan is 7, and in grade 2. He is still at FH Clergue French Immersion School. His original teacher is now off on maternity leave after having her first baby. I believe he is enjoying the freedom of having his own school without his brother. He has begun piano lessons with Mrs. Kettles, and has a real gift for it. He continues swimming at the Y and is looking forward to passing Noah in levels (probably by June). Both of the boys have enjoyed Finn-Hill a few times already this season with their sleds, and visiting their friends that are fairly close by from time to

time. They are working on a pretty big snow fort at the back of the drive way, and a mega snow ball fight has been planned for February with their friends. I’m not sure if any of the parents know about this, but the planning began after last year’s. Brad continues to shepherd the folks at Zion Lutheran Church. The commute is awesome! He has had some health concerns especially since the summer. He ended up in hospital over the Thanksgiving weekend. Following the doctors’ orders, he is doing great. He has done his first painting class since high school, with his colleague Paul. In my opinion, the painting is beautiful, and I hope he does more. I continue to swim 4-5 times per week at the Y, and since Brad is doing better, I’m doing better too. (Mostly because of his sleeping machine, we’re both sleeping through the night). Scrapbooking had been put on the back burner for a while, as I was just too tired to enjoy it. But since November, I’ve been back creating with enjoyment, and maybe next year, you will receive a home-made card again. I’m also enjoying singing in the church choir, and I began clarinet lessons in November. 20 years is a long time in between lessons… it has taken me a while to get back into it. I continue to be a consultant for Epicure. I am slowly building my team, and am now at the manager level. It has been quite enjoyable making my own hours and showing people how to cook tasty healthy meals fast. In November the Mittleholtz family increased by one, without months of pregnancy or hours of labour. Our new wee one, Jack came to us with a full body of hair, whiskers and tail. We adopted our new kitten and have quickly learned that he is definitely a people cat. He loves cuddling with us all the time. He is lots of fun, and the boys have really taken to caring for him quickly.

The boys spent a week at Camp Edgewood, and then a week at Grandma and Grandpa Perrin’s house before I flew down for their 40th wedding anniversary dinner, and then the three of us flew home. I think the boys enjoyed the adventure of their first flights. We did a great camping trip and lighthouse tour around Lake Superior this past August. We had purchased a new-to-us Ford Flex to make pulling the camper easier, and I really do like that car! It was really nice not having to be so precise with the packing. Our trip lasted 3 weeks, and we stopped in Thunder Bay for some Finnish Pancakes and Fort William. Next, we stopped in Duluth MI, where we did a train ride and visited the local Aquarium. From there we headed to the beautiful Keewenaw Peninsula (the very top of Michigan). We stayed at an awesome State park and did a tour of a decommissioned copper mine, where we learned what it meant to really be in the dark. Continuing around, we went to Marquette. One of the high lights was the children’s museum on a rainy day. Sault Ste. Marie is the last stop on the tour, but we decided to sleep in our own beds. Brad’s Grandma Becker died in September at age 93, and we of course drove to Kitchener for that. All of the Great-grandchildren had a part of the funeral service, and we all enjoyed soft-served ice cream in her honour. As we look forward to 2015, Brad is excited that I will join him in the 40 year category. We are celebrating with a party when we come down to KW after Christmas. Hugs and Blessings The Mittleholtz family

Parish Partnership Council Meeting of Wed. January 14th - Update

Ministries: Pastor Chad gave the report on behalf of the Committee which met in the morning. The stew night in support of the Council of the North is still on hold. Ministries had suggested a new Bible or Book Study be established after services on Sunday mornings possibly at Christ Church because of its central location. They are still reviewing options. They are planning a Parish movie night for Friday, February 27th at 6:00 p.m.; ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ starring Judy Dench. A possible discussion following the film will be on issues facing today’s seniors. Saturday March 28th has been set aside for making the palm crosses for the Parish. All are invited to join. Bring a brown bag lunch and join in, starting at 10:00 a.m. Trinity Church in Wiarton.

Pastor Chad advised that the materials for the Holden Evensong cannot be found. They possibly were last used at an evensong held this past summer at St. Margaret’s. If anyone is aware of where they have been stored would they please contact Pastor Chad.

Fundraising: A suggestion was made to council for the Parish to hold a ‘Murder Mystery Dinner’ evening as an alternative to the pork dinner for the Parish wide fundraiser. This idea will be explored over the next couple of months. What are the talents of our parishioners? Who might be interested in participating in some way?

Visioning: Allen Partridge reported on behalf of the Visioning Committee. A suggestion was made to hold perhaps monthly events, dinners for the Parish, not for fundraising but a time of fellowship and an opportunity for people to become better acquainted with each other. The first suggested evening is for a catered dinner after Easter. It would be held at Christ Church as the most central location. Tentative date is Saturday April 18th. More details will follow over the next month or two.

Helen Wheeler has agreed to chair future meetings of the Visioning Committee (see separate report). A chair of Ministries is still needed.

Eileen Bart provided an update on the Reverend Hugh Gissing. He is doing well, although he is still struggling with the heat. His newest challenge is to break a two year old paint (horse), yes a horse. A wonderful gift from three churches he helped to come together.

Another major topic of discussion was on ‘Safe Church’. While this is a specific Anglican program it is also followed in the Lutheran Church although it is not a formal process. Pastor Chad will be receiving more information for the next Council meeting. The main intent of the program is to protect vulnerable individuals, such as children and seniors.

Visioning Committee Update After thinking, praying and talking to Chad, I have decided to take on the chair of the Visioning Committee for LAAMB. I know I have big shoes to fill but luckily the old shoes are going to remain part of the committee to offer advice and ideas. (That is Alan Partridge of course!) The Visioning Committee is going to take the next few months to learn more about the people in the parish and the services in each community. Working with ministries it is hoped that there will be a parish event each month so we can deepen our relationships and have some fun. The first even is a movie night in Lion’s Head later in February. Where possible please attend these events and help bring the parish together. With gathered knowledge and discernment we will be ready to more clearly determine where our parish needs to be focused. This may mean partnering with other organizations, starting new ministries or continuing some that we are presently involved in. It may require letting go of some of the things we have done for a long time and venturing out in faith in new directions. Whatever we as a parish determine let us remember our goal – to serve God, to bring the amazing love of God to all people at a time when it is really needed. Remember as Bishop Terry said “This is God’s world” He will prevail and all we need to do is determine if we want to be part of the journey. Each of us loves the church or we wouldn’t attend regularly or work so hard to ensure it continues to survive. So think about your church – where does the light shine? Where is the darkness? What does God call us to be in

2015? Pray and ask Holy Spirit to guide us as we journey in faith as one body together. Helen Wheeler

In Memory of Someone Else

We were saddened to learn this week of the passing of one of our members, Someone Else. Someone Else's passing created a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years, and did far more than a normal person's share of work. Whenever there was a job to do or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list. Let Someone Else do it. It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among the largest givers of our group. Whenever there was a need, everyone just assumed that Someone Else would do it. Someone Else was a wonderful person, sometimes appearing superhuman, but a person can only do so much. We're the truth known, everybody expected too much of Someone Else. Now, Else is gone. We wonder what we are going to do. Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow. But who is going to follow things that Someone Else did? When you are asked to help, please remember, we cannot depend on Someone Else any-more.

12th Day of Christmas Celebration

On Jan. 5, the 12th day of Christmas, Pastor Chad & Kim opened their home to all Parish members for an evening of food & fun. The weather and the flu bug kept many from attending unfortunately. For most of us there it was our first introduction to the other residents of the rectory, namely Benjamin, Emily, & Preston, the family cats.

It seemed the food just kept appearing on the table. Some were favourites from down east. A large Nova Scotia balsam fir adorned the sitting room. Gisèlle won the prize for the hunt for the pickle. (You must ask Chad-for the details ha ha). The Christmas music which was lovely was made even more so played on the turntable console. Marleen won the board game Carcassonne There were numerous games to choose from, a great collection. Thanks Chad & Kim for sharing your home with us; the great food and the downhome hospitality. Gail Bennett

A Great Big Thank You On behalf of WIG a sincere thank you to the Lutheran and Anglican Ministries of the Bruce. A grand total of 332 jars of peanut butter were donated to the Peninsula Food Bank. This year the Salvation Army provided 424 Christmas Food Hampers. Thanks to all who helped out with donations as well as to those who volunteered their time.

DID YOU KNOW?

SHROVE TUESDAY

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent starts: the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It's a day of penitence, to clean the soul, and a day of celebration as the last chance to feast before Lent begins.

Shrove Tuesday is sometimes called Pancake Day after the fried batter recipe traditionally eaten on this day.

But there's more to Shrove Tuesday than pigging out on pancakes or taking part in a public pancake race. The pancakes themselves are part of an ancient custom with deeply religious roots.

Penitence

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving that Christians used to undergo in the past. In shriving, a person confesses their sins and receives absolution for them.

This tradition is very old. Over 1000 years ago a monk wrote in the Anglo-Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes:

In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him.

Anglo-Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes

The name “Shrove Tuesday” denotes the beginning of a period of cleansing, wherein a person brings their lusts and appetites under subjection through abstention and self-sacrifice.

Giving up Foods

During Lent there are many foods that some Christians - historically and today - would not eat: foods such as meat and fish, fats, eggs, and milky foods.

Historically so that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the shriving Tuesday, and eat

up all the foods that wouldn't last the forty days of Lent without going bad. Pancakes became associated with Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the eggs, fats and milk in the house with just the addition of flour

The need to eat up the fats gave rise to the French name Mardi Gras. Some Catholic and Protestant countries traditionally call the day before Ash Wednesday “Fat Tuesday or “Mardi Gras”, one of these being the famous New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Shrove Tuesday celebrations

We are all familiar with the custom of having pancake suppers on Shrove Tuesday but running races with pancakes is another long standing custom.

The custom of running pancake races started in the United Kingdom as part of these celebrations, based on a legend from 1445. On Shove Tuesday one woman was still making pancakes as the church bells rang. Rather than be late she took her frying pan, with a pancake and raced with it to church. The most famous of these races are still held in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England.

In Latin European countries “Shrovetide” developed separately as ’Carnival’. This derives from the words “came levare” (to take away meat) and is another aspect of the Lenten fast. It is often celebrated with street processions or fancy dress, masked balls, and elaborate feasts. The most famous of these events is the Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, and the Venetian Masquerade.
