Tidings May10

I’ve been your associate pastor now for almost eight months. We’ve celebrated the twin peaks of Christmas and Easter together and survived the valley of “snowmaggedon” in between. I’m starting to get a sense of the rhythms of life at Brown Memorial Park Avenue, learning names and faces (can’t wait for that new directory, though!), and even establishing

some patterns and habits of my own. When I began work here in September, my understanding of my position

was to be a general support to Rev. Andrew Foster Connors by helping to lead worship, preaching once a month, and sharing in the pastoral care of the

congregation. I was also asked to focus on Adult Education and give some attention to the deacons, who had been operating (quite capably!) for a long time without much staff support, and to the growing number of young adults in the church. Eight months in, I can say with confidence that these have been my priorities.

In addition to my weekly part in worship, I helped initiate a monthly gathering of young adults. There are at least 30 people on my “list” of members and prospective members under 40 with 0-1 children, and at least 15 of them have been to one or more of our dinners. The deacons are meeting five times a year; they keep in touch with members who can’t attend worship, and will soon be extending communion to them on a regular basis. In addition to responding to ongoing needs of our older members and the occasional needs of those in crisis, the deacons are also exploring opportunities to reach out to the very youngest part of our church family: newborns!

Since I took over adult education in Advent, the staff and I have collaborated with members of the congregation to offer opportunities for adult education on Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, Saturday mornings, and now on Thursday mornings, along with our occasional Tri-Church Series. During December and January, we explored the topic of Christian Education in Adult Forum. I have gathered some feedback from those sessions, as well as from surveys, that will inform our future planning. We have also been exploring some exciting new opportunities for our confirmands and middle school students.

About a month ago, one of my brothers asked me what my favorite part of the job was, and I’ve done a lot of thinking about my answer to that question. Day in and day out, my most consistent favorite activity is interacting with other staff. Their talent, openness, humor, and wisdom make collaboration intensely rewarding, but I find that even ordinary conversation is a joy. I continue to learn from their example, even as I bring my own gifts and ideas to the table to share. But there are many other aspects of my job that I have found to be life-giving, even if they do not happen every day.

Although preaching is one of the most time-and-energy consuming things that I do, it is also one of the most spiritually and professionally rewarding practices of ministry for me. Another related joy has been the chance to engage scripture through Bible Study. So far, my favorite vehicle for this has been the Thursday morning Bible study because the group is smaller and the atmosphere more relaxed. One dream of mine is to have at least half the members (and all of the deacons and elders) engaged in some kind of small group

renewed Musical VitalitydurinG the sundays after easter

During these weeks when we continue to celebrate the manifold meanings of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives, I rejoice in the continuing growth of membership and

commitment in the Chancel Choir. During the past few weeks we have been thrilled to welcome new choir members: Susan Stroupe, soprano; Erin Drenning, alto; J. Spencer Hammond, baritone; and Greg

Dekker, bass. I am deeply grateful to each of them and to every continuing member of the Chancel Choir for their dedication of time and skill to the ministry of music at Brown Memorial Church.

On May 2, the choir of Chatham University will lead the music of worship at Brown Memorial Church. Founded in 1869, by Presbyterian pastor William Trimbel Beatty as the Pennsylvania College for Women, the school has expanded to become Chatham University, now offering coeducational curricula through doctoral degrees. It will be a delight to welcome the women’s choir of Chatham University under the direction of Stacey Brett to our

worship on the 5th Sunday of Easter.On the same day, May 2, our own Chancel Choir will

travel to Silver Spring to participate in a festival of gospel music at Colesville United Methodist Church. We will join the choir of the Colesville Church under the dynamic direction of Dr. Barbara Baker in this service to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of that church. We heartily encourage every member of Brown Memorial Church to attend this celebration!

On Thursday evening, May 20, the Chancel Choir will hold a recording session to tape a full program for broadcast on SacredClassics.com, produced by our good friend James Howes for an FM station in St. Petersburg, Florida, with live streaming audio throughout the world.

I am profoundly grateful for these and many other heralds of renewed life, hope, and joy during these weeks of Easter. In the music ministry of Brown Memorial Church we join with C. S. Lewis in being Surprised by Joy. May you be surprised by abundant joy during this season of Easter!

a youth’s reflection

This year, the high school youth group has been spending one Sunday afternoon each month at Marian House, a transitional housing center in Waverly. Marian House helps homeless women and their families’ transition to financial and emotional stability. Our youth group goes there to play with the women’s children: tag games, arts and crafts, or even arranging flowers for their mothers. As someone who travels to Pine Ridge in the summer as a part of our church’s Dakota Partnership, I find this especially meaningful. It’s hard to keep up relationships with the children in Pine Ridge during the rest of the year, but I can see the children at Marian House on a monthly basis. It’s my hope that this consistency makes our relationships with the children more valuable for them. We’re hoping to continue going to Marian House through the summer and next year.

May 2010 the tidinGs PaGe 3

Q: “In the twenty-first century industrialized world, few believe that sickness is the result of God’s punishment for an individual’s sins. So, if we think that sickness is unrelated to God’s actions, why would God intervene if we pray for healing for someone’s physical or mental ills?”

A: This question raises some important theological issues. First and foremost is the purpose and value of prayer. Virtually all theologians agree in the value and importance of prayer.

John Calvin devoted pages and pages of his Institutes of the Christian Religion to this topic. It is the first element of worship noted in our Presbyterian Directory for Worship. But here is where agreement ends. Some theologians

argue persuasively that prayer moves God to act. They might argue that the slavery experience of the Israelites in Egypt is paradigmatic for our relationship with God. In that experience, the slaves “cried out” and their cry “rose up to God” (Ex. 2:23). The experience of liberation, it can be argued, begins when human beings cry out to God for help. God is moved by their cry to enact healing. If we follow this theology through, it works well in the person of Jesus who often responds to those who cry out to him for help, offering healing, and community, and forgiveness to those who seek it.

Others argue that this kind of faith is too heavy on superstition. They might agree that “crying out” to God is helpful, but not because it moves God to act. Rather, it changes us. Much like therapy, voicing our needs moves private anguish into the public realm, the first step in personal and social transformation. In this view, prayer is important not because of how it changes God, but rather how it changes us. Walter Brueggemann has argued that many of the psalms function in this way, moving the petitioner through a process of disorientation into a place of reorientation. The voicing of private pain becomes the necessary first step that leads to a different place of healing and wholeness.

Frankly, I don’t think we know definitely how prayer “works” at least not in a consistent, mechanistic way. I have heard testimony from sick people who were healed miraculously that they felt the power of prayer, like a supportive hand holding them up. On the other hand, I have heard testimony from sick people who prayed desperately for healing and never received it, at least not in the way they had hoped or imagined. More common, are the people who have experienced physical healing through doctors, nurses, and advances in medical technology – all gifts from God no less miraculous.

I have found it best not to universalize any one individual’s experience of prayer, but to recognize that it is a part of what we do as people of faith; not to pretend to understand how it operates, but to cultivate it as a regular discipline for followers of Christ. This posture allows for

testimony from people and communities about their experience of prayer without implying that we have a clear handle on how God operates in healing or in any other arena.

In other words, there are some mysteries about which we do not know. Perhaps this is why prayer can be so challenging, difficult, and satisfying at the same time. Prayer is a mystery that changes something, but we are unable to say decisively just what that something will always be. My own view is that we worship a God who is full of surprises, who characteristically offers newness in the midst of death. Speech that is offered to that God is invited in the fullest expressions of candor, imagination, and desire that we can offer. So when our physical healing or the healing of those we love is what we crave most deeply, we are invited to utter that desire in all its fullness, need, and hope.

It has been my experience as a pastor, that, almost without exception, something changes when we pray. Just don’t ask me to be clear about what that something is.

Pastor’s reflections

Bible study. Other highlights include tutoring on Wednesday mornings, participating in a monthly Bible Study, prayer, and support group for clergy, Wednesday Nights at Brown, and a number of one-on-one encounters with members.

Of course, no transition is without its challenges. Perhaps the main challenge for me has been simultaneously experiencing so many major personal life transitions or “stressors” as they are called in certain inventories: moving, owning a home for the first time, starting a new career, starting a new job, getting engaged, negotiating a long distance relationship, thankfully, all good things, but draining nonetheless. I am so grateful that I have landed in such a supportive, caring community of God’s people for this next important phase of my life.

In the Gospel of John, when the disciples have their worlds turned upside down by Christ’s call, crucifixion, and resurrection (Talk about life stressors!), they return to what they know best, fishing (Don’t worry; I’m not trying to go back to school!). But even so, they find themselves out on the boat tired and frustrated after a night of fishing with nothing to show for it, but what they find out is that there is no part of their lives where they don’t need Jesus. He shows up to break bread with them, and their nets are suddenly overflowing. It seems that a life of discipleship (and ministry!) can be just as tiring and frustrating…except that Jesus keeps showing up to feed us, to connect us with each other, and to remind us that we are never in this alone. Thanks be to God!

key wins for Build in Parks and recreation, education, and anti-usury

BUILD has experienced some exciting wins over the past few weeks. First, several Brown Memorial members joined BUILD on the steps of the War Memorial to hold a rally and press

conference prior to attending Taxpayer Night of the Board of Estimates meeting on Wednesday, April 7. At stake was the Mayor’s proposed closing of more than half of the city’s recreation centers and five of the city’s pools this summer. wFor many of our city’s children, including the students we read to at Eutaw Marshburn, these recreation centers and pools are their only alternative to hanging out on the streets during the

summer months. Andrew led the action on the steps of the War Memorial Plaza; he was joined by other clergy and politicians, including Councilman Carl Stokes who is calling for an audit of the city’s Recreation and Parks Department. Rev. Kevin Brooks represented BUILD before the Board of Estimates; he called on the Mayor to not slash funding for Recreation and Parks and to join BUILD in “Re-Creating” the Department of Parks and Recreation. As of the press deadline, the Mayor has found money to keep the centers and pools open and she has agreed to meet with BUILD to discuss a comprehensive plan for the Recreation and Parks Department. Mayor Rawlings-Blake has announced the appointment of a new Director of Recreation and Parks, Gregory Bayer, also.

As a founding member of the Baltimore Education Coalition, BUILD celebrated when the budget adopted by State Legislators on April 12th did not cut education funding. Several Brown Memorial members participated in rallies in Annapolis, met with State legislators, and called and wrote their legislators to ensure that education funding was not cut. The greatest threat was a proposal by the Senate to shift the cost of teacher pensions to the local jurisdiction. This would have meant $30 million dollars per year being diverted from the classroom. Through BUILD and the Baltimore Education Coalition, we made sure that our legislators understood they

could not balance the budget at the expense of the young people in our city.

On the national scene, Metro IAF (Industrial

Areas Foundation), the umbrella organi-zation comprised of BUILD and its sister organizations, has been working over the past year on its 10% is Enough campaign. The goal is to pass legislation that would cap interest rates at 10%. On April 14th Senator Bernard Sand-ers from Vermont introduced legislation that would cap interest rates at 15%. On the same day, representa-tives from Metro IAF met with Massa-chusetts Treasurer Timothy Cahill and leaders of the state’s largest banks. In the meeting, Treasurer Cahill stated his support of Metro IAF’s 10% is Enough Campaign and is transferring $500,000,000 of state money out of the banks that refuse to uphold the State’s usury laws. When asked by Bank of America “What does this mean for us?” Cahill replied “It means I am transferring $320,000,000 out of your bank.”

trustees’ uPdate

Marathon Roofing is completing the roof repairs on the church. The major part of the scaffolding has been removed and the gutters and down spouts on the Jenkins Alley side and Lafayette Street side are being finished. An easy way of inspecting the work is from the third floor of the Church House. Marathon will begin repairing the flat roof of the Church House in the next three weeks.

Future projects include some sort of exit lighting in the sanctuary and emergency lights in the sanctuary. The electrical bid was very high and Miller Electric is working with the insurance company to come to a compromise that the church can afford. A second project is access control and security in the church and Church House.

Meet a trailBlazer

As a youngster, he seemed destined for the “road less traveled”. His parents, Barbara and Lynn, set the stage as they became urban homesteaders in Reservoir Hill. They purchased their home for a dollar and raised Luke and his younger brother, Bill in the neighborhood not far from Brown Memorial Church.

The road of achievement for Luke began at Polytechnic Institute where he undertook the rigorous “A” Course with the science option. He was a member of the highly regarded “It’s Academic” team which competed weekly against other public and private high schools on local television. In Luke’s junior year, he was selected to participate with 11 students in the Baltimore/Odessa partnership. He was privileged to visit Ukraine (not “the Ukraine” as Matthew Stremba informed him). Lasting impressions of this trip were living with a family in Odessa and visiting the catacombs where people who resisted the Nazis were forced to live.

After graduation from Poly, Luke traveled west to Richmond, Indiana. He matriculated at Earlham College, a liberal arts college founded in 1847 by Quakers. At Earlham, Luke journeyed through several streets. His major was politics, but in addition to his studies, this pioneer ran the campus radio station for over two years and was the sports editor for the school’s newspaper.

Putting his newly acquired undergraduate degree into practice was the next avenue for Luke to trod. He ran the campaign of Lee Hamilton for one perspective of public service. Working for the Department of Commerce in Indiana helped to educate him about the “nuts and bolts” of politics. He assisted small communities in developing sewage systems and senior centers. When Lee Hamilton left office, Luke worked for Baron Hill, Hamilton’s successor.

In 2005, the road led back to Maryland. In 2006, the peripatetic Poly alumnus acquired a law degree from the University of Maryland. He managed the campaign for Tom Perez for Attorney General. Several paths opened when Luke passed the bar exam in 2007. One lane opened for him to lead Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s quest to become the Baltimore City Council President. A main street opened when Luke was appointed an Assistant States Attorney in Anne Arundel County in 2007. These days he is a prosecutor and handles appeals.

Are there other places in the urban wilderness that need a pioneering trailblazer? Luke thinks there are. He is diligently working to represent Maryland’s 46th

Legislative District in the Maryland House of Dele-gates. This district includes such distinctly different neighborhoods as Brooklyn, Highlandtown, and Fells Point. Luke intends to visit every registered Democrat-ic voter in his party before the September primary.

In addition to his job and campaigning for office, Luke finds time to hike, ride a bicycle, and perform his duties as an active Elder who develops and monitors the BMPA budget. A member of Brown Memorial since he was four, Luke recalls that a lot of the activities in which he and his brother, Bill participated occurred at the Woodbrook Church where there were more young people. Brown Memorial is “home” to Luke. The members helped to nurture him and the church gave him his first job. He fondly related that his job was to“manage the chaos of the children in the nursery during the service.”

Wherever the road may lead him, Luke remains firmly anchored at Brown Memorial. He believes that BMPA is “a growing, vibrant congregation”. He believes that the membership is composed of many people who are committed to solving problems of the city. Luke Clippinger is a trailblazer. Watch him carefully because he is sure to blast clearings in several more areas.

In 1980, a process of binary fission of the old Brown Memorial Church produced sister churches Brown Memorial Park Avenue and Brown Memorial Woodbrook. On Sunday, October 24th, we will celebrate this 30th anniversary of Brown Memorial Park Avenue Church. The History Project committee members are excited about compiling writings of many of our members reviewing and evaluating the past 30 years into a booklet in honor of the occasion. We also expect to make our archives more accessible and user friendly by then. If you have agreed to provide a write-up for our history compilation, and haven’t yet done so, we really need it by the end of June (sooner, if possible), so we can pull all of them together into a consistent whole. If you have recollections you think belong in this booklet or documents or photos you think belong in the church archives, please let a member of the committee know. Members of the History Project Committee are: Sally Robinson, Julie Hanks, Karen Nelson, Graham Richardson, Henry Taylor, and Bill Wilson.
