To do that, let me first introduce myself the way I usually introduce myself to strangers: Hi, I’m Michael Coffey.<br /><br />Most people who know me personally know me as Mike, and that’s right. I do like Michael, also, but that’s not why I always introduce myself as Michael. I had numerous experiences of introducing myself as “Mike Coffey” and people hearing it as “My coffee” and they wonder why I’m talking about the beverage in my hand. The “k” sound at the end of Mike and the hard “c” sound at the beginning of Coffey elide and it becomes “My coffee.” So, to eliminate this silliness from my life, I’m Michael Coffey. Nice to meet you.<br /><br />One of the other funny things about my name is “Coffey” the Irish name has nothing to do with the drink. The spelling should be a clue, although there are some “Coffee” people out there, too. One of them was a famous African-American rodeo clown in Texas, and I met his niece once, but that’s a story for another day. The name “Coffey” is an Anglicized form of the name Cobhthaigh, which is derived from the Irish word for “victorious.” <br /><br />And that leads us into Lent, the cross and resurrection, and the Christian faith. I have often complained that Lent often becomes an extended meditation on the death of Christ, six and a half weeks of Good Friday. I have never found that helpful, and it is not the reason for the season. Lent is meant to be a season of preparation for renewal in Christ’s death and resurrection at Easter, either through baptism or renewal of baptism. Lent is the preparation part, culminating in the great three days of Holy Thursday (or Maundy Thursday), Holy Friday (or Good Friday), and Holy Saturday (or Easter Vigil). <br /><br />The preparation time of Lent of course means preparing to go deep into the paschal mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection, so that means, yeah, contemplating the significance of the death of Christ, not separate from the resurrection of Christ as is often done, but as the unavoidable part of the transformational journey of faith in Christ.<br /><br />So what do we do with the death of Christ, the crucifixion of Jesus, as we look for deep meaning in our Christian faith and life? Well, first we don’t separate it from the resurrection. It is not an isolated and complete thing in and of itself. Those first disciples spent Friday to Sunday morning thinking it was an isolated and complete event, and that led them to their utter despair and sense of abandonment. They, for that brief period, saw Jesus as the ultimate victim of the religious and political powers that had always created victims in order to remain in power. They were likely tempted to see themselves as victims, too, and maybe for about 36 hours give-or-take they did.<br /><br />But after experiencing the resurrected Jesus they no longer could see him as a victim of the political and religious powers. He was the victor, the one who conquered the victim-making powers, and there was no going back to victimhood if you trusted and followed the resurrected Christ from that day forward. Being baptized into Christ meant giving up your victimhood identity and living in the victor identity of Jesus.<br /><br />My proposition, then, is that Christian faith is about moving from a victimhood identity to a victor identity. Christ saves us from the victim-making powers of this world by submitting himself to their pointless power, and showing it to be utterly powerless and foolish. Identity in the paschal mystery of Christ means letting go of all the victimhood identities we have been told define us and living in the victor identity of Jesus, the true power of God at work in the world.<br /><br />There are several problems we must address in order for this to be the truly transforming good news of Christ. The first, which is probably the most controversial, is that we are constantly tempted to cling to our victimhood identities. There is something empowering, but falsely so, about claiming victimhood as our primary identity, but it is not life-giving and transforming of ourselves or the world. It simply perpetuates the ways of the world that are killing all of us. And too often, victimhood leads to defeating the victimizers only to perpetuate the cycle of creating new victims.<br /><br />Let me be clear: there are many victims in this world. People suffer because of the power exerted by individuals, religions, corporations, governments, and societies. People are marginalized and left out of the flourishing of life God intends for us all because of greed, accumulation of wealth by a few, and the many identities we cling to (nation, tribe, ethnicity, class, gender, race, language, religion, political group, etc.) in order to have dominance over other identities. There is nothing good about any of this, and if I am honest, if we are honest, we probably participate in and benefit from some of the victim-making powers of this world, even if we suffer from some other victim-making powers.<br /><br />I’m not talking about denying any of that. What I am talking about is not allowing ourselves to be defined by our own experience as victims. It is an utterly life-stealing belief to see ourselves primarily as victims, to seek empowerment through victimhood, and to be stuck in our reactions to it. There is a lot of this going on in the world, especially in this highly divisive cultural moment in the United States. Whether on the right, left, or center politically, there are people who see their primary identity in their victimhood and then let that define everything about who they are and how they live. It feels like a powerful thing especially when it creates identity groups of victimhood. And there can be power in it, and some of the power can be harnessed to address injustice and give voice to political grievance. But in the end, it is dehumanizing and severely limiting when it is our only or primary identity as a person. <br /><br />Jesus is God’s transforming power to live by a life-giving identity outside of and beyond victimhood. He himself is the ultimate victim of political and religious powers. His whole life leading up to his unjust execution was focused on connecting people to God and to each other in a community of love, grace, service, generosity, and hope. It was an empowering message that pulled people into their true identity in God, not into their victimhood identity created by the society around them. And then in becoming the ultimate victim, God raised him to new life to offer the true fullness of life as God intended it: not as an eternal victim, but as the victor whose life of selfless love empowers us all to life the same kind of selfless love in this world.<br /><br />How can you tell Christ is no longer living in his own victimhood, but instead as the victor in God’s resurrection power? Because he did not rise up to go back and try to get revenge on his enemies. He didn’t tell his disciples to seek some kind of earthly justice for the horrific injustice of his own crucifixion. He sent them to love, forgive, and work to end victimization by living in an utterly different reality called the reign of God. Faith in Christ is important because it means giving up our own victimhood identities and our own desire to seek retribution on those who have harmed us, and instead to seek to bring everyone into a new identity of neither victim nor victimizer, but victor in God’s love in Christ. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be earthly, civil, governmental ways of seeking justice for victims of every kind. It means knowing that even that does not ultimately give us the fullness of life or define who we are in God and in community with one another. <br /><p></p><p>It's hard to have selfless love for others when you’re stuck in a victimhood identity. It is draining, it fosters resentment, and it erases the full and deep truth about your own full human identity in God. It is always tempting to remain a victim, and it can be incredibly difficult to escape that victimhood identity when you have been so deeply wounded by powers that victimized you. Many of us need years of therapy and lots of time and patience with ourselves to even begin to have a different, non-victimhood identity. But giving up victimhood through the power of the paschal mystery of Christ is the truly empowering good news we need.<br /><br />You can be angry at me for saying this. You can say I’m just a privileged person who has never experienced victimhood and doesn’t care about victims. You’d be wrong, of course. Even in all my privileges I’ve experienced being a victim of institutional and personal power others have wielded against me. I’ve suffered personal and familial tragedy. I’ve had cancer. I’ve been tempted to cling to that victimhood because it feels empowering. But the truth I’ve realized in myself is that it never gives me life, it never empowers me to love others, it never sets me free.<br /><br />My proposition, wonderful person who has kept reading to this point, is that you and I can be truly free in Christ’s death and resurrection because we can give up clinging to victimhood as our true or primary identity. Lent can be our time to ponder all this in anticipation of our personal and communal renewal at Easter. It’s probably painful and hard work to do because it feels like letting go and losing. I’m going to work on that, because honestly, I’ve been clinging to a few victimhood identities I’ve had. The pain has been real, but clinging to it has only hurt me even more.<br /><br />We can be free in Christ the victor to be victors with him. We can let Lent be a time to slowly let go of the grip of our own victimhood, even when we have every right to cling to it. It can be our time to find true transformation and empowerment in Christ the victor.<br /><br />Of course, that means I might have to start introducing myself as “Michael Victor” which is actually my name in Irish already. But now, you and I, can be victors of another kind, victors in Christ who are able to love more, hope more, and live more than we ever imagined.<br /><br /><br /></p>Michael Coffeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09678115338906022719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163229935991757598.post-48589613946956770972024-02-06T15:25:00.003-06:002024-02-06T15:25:51.778-06:00Gathered -- A New Communion Song<p> I wrote this song last year to finish out the Christ Liturgy service I first wrote years ago.

school students and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Texas by an 18-year-old with an AR-15
has brought us once again to grief, pain, fear, and anger. Maybe you feel some
of those and not others. Certainly, those most impacted by this massacre
(family, friends, the local Uvalde community) are affected in ways that are difficult
for us to comprehend.</span><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Often after tragedies like
these (and they are often and too many) we find rituals of comfort to help us
through: prayer, lighting candles, naming names, holding silence, etc. These
are appropriate responses and can be helpful. But it seems to me at this point,
whatever rituals and prayers we offer should not aim to comfort us. They should
bring us deeper into the pain and anguish of these unspeakable acts of violence,
because we know there are laws and social expectations around guns that can be
changed to make these events less likely to happen.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Comforting ourselves too
quickly keeps us from taking action. When we take away our pain, we no longer pay
attention to the cause of the pain. A recent Washington Post article stated
that the average time it takes for Americans to move on from a mass shooting is
4 days. That’s it. We find a way to comfort our deep hurt and we get distracted
by the next news cycle, even if it is the next mass shooting.</span><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I am taking direction for my

psalms of lament in the Old Testament. The psalm begins with a startling proclamation:</span>

I suspect that the tragedy befallen the psalmist and their community is too
great to first find comfort. Why? Maybe it makes too little of the tragedy. Maybe
it makes light of the pain. Maybe any comfort that comes that quickly and
easily will be trite and shallow and short-lived. The psalmist refuses to be
comforted (even by God!) because the pain is too real to be easily dismissed.</span><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW1vkMDXRklAPBd9y4gOGAg9yjkNTH3TX6PT2elerIyMOYzKukwTOA-Y5V-EnPJ04brZN4kDl2on04pnM45vEb8-0ugHKvRXg94WVwYA82AL2ChC1SkvHDvAtIBLJoiiT3N-vvUkgkENn9myBp6qs4aHlveGxnXf44NXN0Sg6rYx6q85Cy4z6dYF6/s636/Picasso%20Guernica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="636" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW1vkMDXRklAPBd9y4gOGAg9yjkNTH3TX6PT2elerIyMOYzKukwTOA-Y5V-EnPJ04brZN4kDl2on04pnM45vEb8-0ugHKvRXg94WVwYA82AL2ChC1SkvHDvAtIBLJoiiT3N-vvUkgkENn9myBp6qs4aHlveGxnXf44NXN0Sg6rYx6q85Cy4z6dYF6/w400-h225/Picasso%20Guernica.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Guernica</i> by Pablo Picasso<br /></td></tr></tbody></table>I think we are in a moment
when we can refuse to be comforted because it makes our current tragedy smaller
than it really is. We can sit in our grief, pain, and anger longer than we
might think is pious or socially acceptable, even when our grief, pain, and
anger are directed at God. One of the powerful witnesses of the Old Testament
is its openness to people of faith expressing their anger and pain toward and
at God. Surely, we have room in our faith for that in such a terrible time as
this. Psalm 77 certainly does:</span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Communities of faith tell
stories of how God has been faithful in the past and done wonders we cannot easily
dismiss. We tell biblical stories and personal stories and cultural stories and
say: This is who God is for us! So maybe, after we have done the hard work of
grief, and we have let anger keep us focused long enough, maybe we can find
comfort and look to God to change this awful life we are living.</span><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">One thing is clear from the
biblical story: Our hope is in God alone, not in human power, institutions, or
politics. But that clarity and focus on God empowers us to participate in God’s
healing and restoration of this world to one of life and love. We participate
in institutions and politics and confront human power because of who God is for
us and for this world: A God of love, compassion, and justice.</span> <span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The psalmist remembers God’s
past deeds even when it was not obvious that God was active in them. Consider
this ending of the psalm and how it speaks of God’s great act of liberation of
God’s people in the Exodus: <br /></span></p>

such profound faith even today. Perhaps we can see God’s footprints as God
walks with us through this liminal moment as we cross to the other side and
find safety and true freedom. Who is working to get us to the other side that
we can see as God’s agents of change? How can we participate in this moment as
the body of Christ suffering with and for our broken world until healing and
resurrection come?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Candara",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I don’t have all the answers

being comforted too quickly, and turning to God as our hope, can lead us to
answers and new hope.</span>

coincidence that the insurrection at the US Capitol happened on January 6th,
the day of Epiphany in the church calendar. This is the day when the church
celebrates the arrival of the Magi by the leading of a star. These unnumbered
and ungendered Persian astrologers came to the home of Mary and Joseph to visit
the child Jesus and bring him gifts and blessings. It is a long-held tradition
in the church to bless homes on January 6th and to write in chalk above the
door a symbol of blessing for the coming year: 20 + CMB + 22. 20 and 22 make up
the current year. CMB is an acronym for the Latin <span style="font-style: italic;">Christe
mansionem benedicat.</span> Some traditions hold that the letters stand for the
legendary names of the Magi (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar).</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><span>
</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><span>But now January 6th
has the connotation not of house blessing but of house destruction. While many
see this date as a tragedy in the history of the United States, others see it
as a day to celebrate their use of violence and power. I do not believe we can
allow January 6th to be co-opted by such perversions. I think we must
intentionally and diligently reclaim it.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">

We
reclaim January 6th as an epiphany, as a day of revealing God's love in Jesus.
And we do it with full admission that the meaning of the day is now co-opted and
that is simply part of the story now. Remember those Magi? They were on a mission
to bring gifts and blessings to the toddler Christ. But Herod, who they bumped
into on the way after getting a little lost, was on a mission of destruction.
He was planning a coup. Instead of the reign of God being inaugurated through
this newborn king, he decided to use violence to try to keep himself in power.
The church remembers this sad story on December 28 and calls it "The
Slaughter of the Innocents" because Herod ordered the death of children 2
and under -- the same age of the child Jesus when the Magi showed up. </span></span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">

</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>By the time the
church gets to January 6 each year, we've already heard about the birth of the
new king that challenges all claims of earthly power with divine love and
mercy. And we've already heard that this new king is resisted with violent
force by the ones who already hold power and are not at all ready to give it
up. So, we kind of know what we're talking about. We know what we're doing in
reclaiming January 6 because the story already includes insurrection and coup
d'etat and violence. But it doesn't stay there.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>
</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>The United States is
at a fragile moment in its history of practicing democracy. January 6 will
always be a reminder that we can lose it all if we don't sustain it daily. But
January 6 is also for the church a day to see that light and blessing and gifts
and awe survive massive resistance to God's ways. So that's what I think we should
do: Live with light and blessing and gifts and awe January 6 and every day and
point toward the shining star, the gentle rule of the one many will resist but
none will topple.</span></span></p>

witnessed the unthinkable and yet entirely predictable violent overtaking of
the United States Capitol while it was undertaking one of its central Constitutional
duties: certifying the state’s reporting of their Electoral College votes. It
was unthinkable because it has never happened before and it violates so much of
the spirit of the democratic process we see as a core part of our identity. It
was entirely predictable because five years of Donald Trump’s demagoguery and sociopathic,
malignant narcissism made it clear that violence in the name of keeping him in
power was always on the table, and he frequently called his followers to it.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What we saw and
heard during the Trump rally before the march to the Capitol, and during the
invasion of it immediately after, was sedition, which is defined as “conduct or
speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.”
It was also insurrection, “a violent uprising against an authority or
government.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My claim today is
that Jesus was a promoter of particular kind of sedition but not insurrection.
Anyone who thinks violent uprising could be in the name and spirit of Jesus is
simply and dangerously wrong. But anyone who thinks Jesus wasn’t about
inspiring people to rebel against the authority of the state or empire is
missing the subversive power of his life and ministry.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m going to be very
careful and cautious here. I’m NOT saying Jesus would support what happened on
January 6. People who caused and enacted such seditious insurrection were severely
led astray by lies and cannot justify what they did in the name of Christ. They
were motivated by white supremacist, nationalist power, which can never be in
the name of God. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ll say it again:
Insurrection is never an option for a faithful Christian witness (I will contemplate Nat Turner and slave revolts for liberation on another day...) Many around
Jesus wanted insurrection. They wanted Jesus to lead them in a march up to
Jerusalem and fight off the vassal King Herod appointed and controlled
by Emperor Tiberius. They wanted Jesus installed as king and they wanted all
the benefits that would bring to themselves. In short, they wanted Jesus to
imitate the Roman Empire, and all human empires, but just do it better and for
their advantage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What Jesus did was
something else entirely. Jesus lived a full and faithful witness to the
peaceful empire of God that is always arriving in our midst. Jesus inaugurated
and enacted that divine reign through words that confronted human corruption of
power that harmed other people, and through words and acts of mercy, healing, and sharing
God’s abundance with all. He taught his followers to pray: <i>Your empire come,
O God, your will be done, on earth today.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus’ words and
actions were never about violence and insurrection, but they were always about
confronting any human systems of power that harm others, whether religious or
political. His words and actions caused so much turmoil that they got him
rejected and executed. His words of love and peace, forgiveness and mercy,
sharing and trusting God’s generosity, were so challenging to the empire and
the religious authorities that they utterly crushed him to stop it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus lived a
powerful life of powerlessness in the face of corrupted human power. That was
his sedition. Read this carefully: I don’t mean that Jesus’ words and actions
of healing, peace, and prophetic truth-speaking were a means to cause sedition.
I mean they were his sedition. Why? Because they were a complete rejection and
confrontation of empires and temples of power and violence. Jesus’
powerlessness in the face of deadly power, leading inevitably to his
crucifixion, is the most seditious thing he could do. After that, the empire
and the wealthy powerful were complete exposed for what they really are: Corrupted
human power that simply should not be given allegiance. While throwing it off
with violent insurrection is never Jesus’ way, giving human empires and leaders
the allegiance that is due only to God is never how people of faith are to
live.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In one form or
another, human governments, systems, institutions, and religions use dominating
power to keep the powerful powerful, and the powerless powerless. What Jesus
did is embrace powerlessness as God’s most powerful tool of sedition. Once
again, why do I call this sedition? Because it has the power to expose the
truth of human systems of power, and turn our allegiance, our deep abiding
trust, to God alone. If Jesus had used dominating power over others, he would
have been the most empire-affirming religious leader of his day. Instead, he
overthrew the power of the empire through the powerlessness of love spoken and
lived.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">All Jesus did to get
in trouble was speak words of blessing and judgment and do good deeds of
healing and revelation of God’s love. He lived a fearless powerlessness that no
human emperor or president could ever understand or undo. When Christians lift
up the cross as the truth of Jesus and of God’s reign, they lift up a completely
different way of being in this world. They lift up the seditious powerlessness
of love, love of friend and enemy, love of God above empire and religion. They
lift up trust in God alone, who works through their very own powerless love to

</xml><![endif]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve been pondering
why Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a person of immense greatness. Her accomplishments are beyond
impressive. Her commitment to justice and equity under the law for many groups
of Americans is inspiring. In American history, few persons have had such a profound
impact on all of our lives. Amazingly, her work before she became a Supreme
Court Justice is just as important as her work on the court.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">But here’s what it
is. Here’s why she is for me a profoundly inspiring figure: She was in it for
the long haul. She knew the work for equality would be slow and difficult. She
planned out the strategy. She didn’t let defeats along the way stop her from
working for the bigger goals. She was no flash in the pan. She didn’t burn
bridges along the way. She made friends with those who opposed her because she
knew that she was right in such a deeply important way that what she was
working for benefited even her supposed enemies. She brilliantly took cases
that benefited men when they faced sex discrimination so that the broader
implications of her work were clear, even though they had many other privileges
already that some may have thought made their cases less important. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She built her life's work step by step, case by case, so that by the time she got to the next big goal, no one could deny she was right. RBG lived consistently not for the small, quick wins, but for the Really Big Goals.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My God, what a
woman, what a leader, what a brilliant mind, what a persistent commitment to
the work of equality for all under the law. Her memory is blessed among us.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t know about
you, but I’m in this for the long haul. It’s a lifetime of work that never
ends. So what. What else are we here for?</span></p>

<br />
Where do you find yourself in this moment? Grieving the
death of an innocent black man named George Floyd? Bewildered and frightened at
protests that seem to explode into rioting and looting? Sympathetic with police
who bear the shame of the racist and violent actions of a few officers? Angry
and ready to scream and raise hell until leadership brings forth radical change
in policing in America? A little bit of all of it?
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Certainly, where you or I find ourselves is rooted in our
identity and experience. If you are white you likely have a very different
reaction to the events of this past week than if you are black, though I won’t
claim to speak for how an African-American person might or should react. On
this subject I highly recommend the recent article by Kareem Abdul-Jabaar,
which you can find <a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-05-30/dont-understand-the-protests-what-youre-seeing-is-people-pushed-to-the-edge">here.</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to focus more specifically on the reaction of white
Christians to the struggles of racism, police brutality, and suffering in our
times. If you are a white Christian like I am you were likely raised with
images of white Jesus, with a respect and appreciation for police and authority
figures, and with a belief that God favors law and order in the civic realm.
You probably assume that these institutions of power exist to keep us safe, and
to keep society running smoothly. For most of us, most of the time, this is our
experience. We feel safe and protected because of the power and authority we
give to government. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have in the Lutheran tradition teachings that speak about
doing things for “good order.” Why not do something different or against
tradition or without proper authority? Good order! We also have a long-held
theological assumption that government is God-ordained and good people submit
to its authority. These beliefs have caused us numerous problems over centuries
that I won’t delineate here except for this: Few Lutherans were willing to rise
up against fascism in German in the 1930’s out of good order and a belief in
God-ordained government. And no, you can’t jump to Dietrich Bonhoeffer as our
hero and justification—he himself made this point very clearly in his own day,
and he was nearly a lone voice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RpaISmZuaZU/XtbApFUdfiI/AAAAAAAABfE/hi_MnZ2dhfoswV07ol60ieGgVzrJ6E_QQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Culture_Matrix_RedPillBluePill-1047403844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RpaISmZuaZU/XtbApFUdfiI/AAAAAAAABfE/hi_MnZ2dhfoswV07ol60ieGgVzrJ6E_QQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Culture_Matrix_RedPillBluePill-1047403844.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how are we white folks who go to church and love Jesus
and drink a little supposed to understand what is happening right before our
eyes? Let me go to the 1999 movie <i>The Matrix</i>. In this influential film,
the hero character named Neo slowly discovers that everything he assumed was true
was a lie. He had heard rumors that there is some alternative truth known as
the Matrix, but he had a hard time believing or understanding it. The rebels
who try to convince him of the truth tell him he can take a red pill and know
the painful truth of reality from which there is no going back, or the blue
pill that will allow him to return to his life of not-knowing and being
enslaved to a lie. In what has become a meme-worthy image ever since, Neo takes
the red pill and discovers his own terrible reality. (Spoiler alert in the
following… but seriously, does anyone need a spoiler alert about <i>The Matrix</i>
anymore?)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the crucial scene where he takes the red pill, he is
suddenly awakened to the truth that he exists in vat in a massive warehouse of
other bodies in vats, hooked up to an enormous machine using their bodies as an
energy source. Physics and biology questions aside, it’s a shocking scene and horrible
to think of human beings’ bodies being used as chemical power plants.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then, because Neo is awakened to the truth, the giant
machine rejects him and flushes him out. Neo dies to his old life and lives a
new life of the truth, which compels him to find ways for others to be
liberated by the truth. When Neo is flushed out it is very much like a baptism.
He dies to his old life. He is plunged into water. He comes up a new person
living a new life. He is very uncertain about this new life and what it means,
so he begins a period of learning and formation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why am I going into <i>The Matrix</i> mythology and
symbolism while our cities are aflame and cries for racial justice echo down
every street? The central symbol of Christianity is the cross, and I believe
that those who see in the cross the truth of God and the world have taken the
red pill. Now, I don’t believe this happens automatically, and much of
Christianity, especially white Christianity, has substituted the truth of the
cross with a blue-pill alternative truth, one that says the false reality is
the good news and we should go along with it at all cost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSWb67NXbas/XtbA6rPAaRI/AAAAAAAABfM/2whPxGoGSWwuhU_mSEltZ7AIjXtith_GQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Kantrowitz%2Bon%2Bwhite%2Bsupremacy_feature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="740" height="216" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSWb67NXbas/XtbA6rPAaRI/AAAAAAAABfM/2whPxGoGSWwuhU_mSEltZ7AIjXtith_GQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Kantrowitz%2Bon%2Bwhite%2Bsupremacy_feature.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The false reality is white supremacy and the white power
structures that support it. The blue-pill life is one in which we continue to
support institutions and religions that sustain white supremacy and systems of
power that promise us so much if we just go along. But they can deliver nothing
but death. The red-pill life is one in which we are baptized into Christ, die
to the old ways of living for whiteness and the empire that pseudo-benefits us
alone, and rise to the new life of living for love and justice for everyone.
The cross makes it clear that this reality of God is worth living for even if
it is painful and costs us a great deal to move closer to that truth. This new reality
is what Jesus called the governance of God among us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P1s2ILOHiOE/XtbBFb_7wEI/AAAAAAAABfQ/wEvrx-_zbtQNwrQ0KgcRTkop79PK7sSewCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ethiopiancrucifix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="759" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P1s2ILOHiOE/XtbBFb_7wEI/AAAAAAAABfQ/wEvrx-_zbtQNwrQ0KgcRTkop79PK7sSewCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/ethiopiancrucifix.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I believe with all that is my theological and spiritual
understanding that the cross is God’s way of bringing us into the new reality.
It is the red pill, the revelation of truth, and that is why it saves us. The
New Testament is filled with this understanding of the cross. The New Testament
presents us with good news that only comes through the transformation of seeing
God and the world through Jesus’ cross of truth. It is not what Christianity
has come to teach us about some individualistic faith and blessedness apart
from the reality of our neighbors and institutions and governments. The New
Testament vision of the cross as salvation is about upending the truth of the
empire, which is often so appealing or at least comfortably familiar for those
it benefits. The New Testament vision of the cross is the enactment of the
governance of God, which is often so surprising and upside-down to our eyes
that calling it good news almost seems a joke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe you don’t believe me, or get what I mean when I say
the cross is the red pill that wakes us up from the coma of the false reality
of the empire, into the new reality, and only reality, of God’s governance in this
world. Here are some importance texts that speak to this truth-telling of the
cross:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></span><b>Mark 8:31-35 </b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i><sup>1</sup> Then he began to teach them
that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the
elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days
rise again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>32</sup> He said all
this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>33</sup> But turning and looking at his
disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are
setting your mind not on divine things but on human things."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>34</sup> He called the crowd with his
disciples, and said to them, "If any want to become my followers, let them
deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>35</sup> For those who want to save
their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the
sake of the gospel, will save it.</i></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
This is a turning point in Mark’s Gospel.
Jesus, after demonstrating for 8 chapters that he is a man of great power, unexpectedly
teaches his followers that he will give up power, be killed, and trust God to
raise him up. Even more shocking, he calls his followers to give up greatness,
deny their own self-interest, give up power, stop trying to preserve their
privilege, and take up the way of the cross of Jesus as their own way. This, he
says, and not the worldly way of dominating others, is what saves, what gives
true life.</div>

In this text we hear Mary proclaim the good

Here Jesus gives his first speech and says
what he is about. He quotes from Isaiah and speaks about the long-awaited
Jubilee, the Old Testament hope and decree that when society gets imbalanced

economic and judicial balance must be restored. And he says: Today, it is
happening, because Jesus is speaking this truth into reality.</div>

John uses the Old Testament story of Moses
lifting up a serpent on a pole for the people to see their sin and be healed by
looking at it honestly. For John, looking at Jesus crucified by the empire and
seeing God’s full revelation there is the source of eternal life. Eternal life
in John is not simply life forever in heaven. Eternal life is living the
fullness of life now, fully awake and seeing for the first time who God truly
is through Jesus. And who is God revealed to be in Jesus? The power of love and
life in opposition to the power of death and the empire.</div>

it is the power of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>19</sup>
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the

Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish
the wisdom of the world?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>21</sup>
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God
decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who
believe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>22</sup> For Jews demand
signs and Greeks desire wisdom,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>23</sup>

God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>25</sup> For God's foolishness
is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human
strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>26</sup> Consider your
own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards,
not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>27</sup> But God chose what is foolish
in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame
the strong;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>28</sup> God chose what
is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing
things that are,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>29</sup> so that
no one might boast in the presence of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><sup>30</sup> He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became
for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and
redemption,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><sup>31</sup> in order that,
as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."</i></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
Paul writes about the foolishness of the
cross, knowing that God’s way of redeeming the world looks like powerlessness,
and in fact is powerlessness. But Paul sees as only one whose eyes have been
opened by the cross that God’s foolish ways expose the so-called wise ways of
human power. All those who see themselves as wise and trust in human power and
use it to support systems of domination are exposed as utter fools. If God can
become utterly powerless in the cross of Jesus and resist the use of power
against the empire, and still win at this game as God did in the resurrection
of Jesus, then there is no allegiance worth giving to nations and armies and
tribes. Even more, Paul speaks about the followers of Jesus as precisely those
who look foolish, unwise, powerless, born into low esteem. The good news of the
cross says: God’s power works through you precisely because you do not embody
the power that the world values, but the power of self-giving love made perfect
in the cross.</div>

There are many more texts I could share. These are the ones
I find particularly inspiring. I could walk you through the whole book of Revelation
and show how it empowers martyrs to live for the good news because the empire
is falling apart. I could show you in James where the poor and the weak are
most honored by God. I could walk through more of John with you and show you
where being able to see the new reality through Christ is a kind of vision only
those who know they didn’t see the truth before can have.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The cross is the red pill that God gives us to see the
truth. God transforms this world through powerlessness to expose the figurative
and literal dead ends of human power. Right now, in our moment, death is all
around us. White power has dominated black bodies for centuries, and even though
we got past slavery and Jim Crow and enacted civil rights (and most of those
changes were achieved with great resistance from those who keep holding onto
white power) the power is still with whiteness.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The truth of the matter is, those who see God in the cross
of Christ see Jesus in George Floyd dying under the knees of police officers.
We see him cry out to his mother like Jesus did on the cross. We see him
breathe his last and commend his spirit to God. We see God in black bodies
beaten and bruised and lynched. We see the evil of the empire exposed, an
empire many of us once thought could bring us life and salvation if we just
went along with its power games. Now we can’t stand the thought of it, because
we see all the death and we want only the life that God brings through the love
of Jesus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also see the cross that disciples must bear in the hard
work of protest, witnessing, working for change, and never settling for quick
and easy feel-good responses. We see there is a price to be paid for the
transformation from death to life, but there always is. We see that we are in
good company because Jesus bears the cross with us and all bodies that are
crushed under the knees, the machinery, and the economy of our current empire.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We white Christians don’t like any of this. We want it to go
away. We want the easy faith of me and Jesus and grace that sets us free from
accountability and obligation. In my learnings from the black church, I see
that they don’t want it either, but they have no choice but to take up the
cross and march toward the coming goodness of God’s justice.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So the question is, my fellow people of faith who have seen
the cross of Jesus, seen the death of George Floyd, seen the unending series of
oppressions done in the name of our security and protection… the question is:
Do you want to take the red pill and live for God’s new, wonderful beloved community,
or do you want to slip back into the blue-pill narcotic world of whiteness?</div>

It involved an hour-long ritual that was open, interactive, and raw. It was inspired in part by the work I had done with the Men's Rites of Passage from Richard Rohr.<br />
<br />
The ritual hour involved listening to the entire Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) by Gorecki. During the meditation words slowly appeared on an image of the crucifixion of Jesus by Rouault.<br />
<br />
I have taken those grief words and the second movement of the symphony and created this grief meditation. Holy Week draws us into the depths, and part of those depths is the need to go through all our grief so that it can transform us, or rather, so God can transform us through it by the paschal mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. Soon the new life, but first all the grief.<br />

We are living in a moment that is both familiar to human
history and unique in technological possibilities. Pandemics have impacted
human life for millennia. Even when people did not understand how transmission
by viruses or bacteria occurs, they understood the importance of social
distancing during a pandemic. People stayed home. Children stayed in their yards
and waved at their friends across the street. Neighbors chatted from their
porches. Churches closed for months.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the 1918 flu pandemic, the telephone had just become
available to many. I can imagine it was a lifeline of communication for those
who had it. During our COVID-19 pandemic, we have means of communication and
connection that until recently were unimaginable: Facebook, Instagram, texting,
Zoom, Skype… how many ways are there for us to connect as individuals and
groups? It’s astounding and it’s a gift, a lifeline.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
These internet-based means of connecting have made it
possible for churches to do ministry in new and expanded ways while we are not
able to gather in person. Worship can be livestreamed. Groups enjoy Zoom
meetings. Web sites and emails share information quickly and broadly. One thing
technology has not been able to solve for us is the gathering of the church
community for sacramental life. For most of the church in the world, weekly
gatherings around the table to share communion bread and wine is central to our
worship and spiritual lives. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This has created a moment of debate and experimentation in
congregations. Faithful church members desire to share communion with the real
stuff of bread and wine. It is a pattern and a spiritual practice that forms
the lives of many faithful. Many are hungry for this sacramental life while we
are unable to gather in person. Some want to find new ways to share communion
with a celebrant livestreaming the thanksgiving over the bread and wine while
worshipers gather around their own bread and wine at home and consume after the
meal is virtually blessed. Some think this is our new digital way of worshiping,
especially during pandemic. Others think this is an unfortunate development
that distorts the meaning of the sacrament. I am sympathetic to the former, but
part of the latter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As this debate has been taking place across the church, I am
going to share a few thoughts on why I think this practice of sharing communion
over a livestream is an unfortunate and unnecessary response to the short-term
reality of social distancing. </div>

1. In Lutheran teaching Christ is present in the Word just
as Christ is present in the bread and wine of communion. The proclamation of
Law and Gospel through absolution, Scripture, preaching, liturgy, and song is a
means of grace just as much as Holy Communion. In the excellent authoritative
document on worship in the ELCA, The Use of the Means of Grace (<a href="https://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/The_Use_Of_The_Means_Of_Grace.pdf">https://download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/The_Use_Of_The_Means_Of_Grace.pdf</a>)
says this about the Word:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>WHAT IS THE WORD OF GOD?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Principle</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>5 Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate. The
proclamation of God's message to us is both Law and Gospel. The canonical
Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God. Through
this Word in these forms, as through the sacraments, God gives faith,
forgiveness of sins, and new life.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Application 5A </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Proclamation of the Word includes the public reading of Scripture,
preaching, teaching, the celebration of the sacraments, confession and
absolution, music, arts, prayers, Christian witness, and service . The congregation
's entire educational ministry participates in the proclamation of the Word.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Word of God is the living encounter with Christ, whether
through Scripture, preaching, liturgy, song, or sacrament. All are a gift. But
we should not diminish the importance of the Word as gift by altering our
communion practice in such a way that distorts its meaning. Word conveys well
through technology. Sacrament, with its inherent materiality, does not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Fasting is a long-held spiritual discipline of the
church. It is central to Jesus’ teaching in the sermon on the mount on true
spiritual practice. It is foundational to the Lenten season and practices. It
is a fortunate coincidence that the COVID-19 pandemic is peaking in the United
States during Lent, when fasting of one sort or another is already in play in
many of our lives.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a time for us to speak of fasting from communion as
part of our spiritual discipline and social and ethical practice to live in
solidarity with the world as we seek to end the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Fasting is often downplayed or rejected in our modern lives. The thought of
giving something up seems too burdensome for us who are used to having
everything now and in abundance. During Lent, many choose to focus on doing
something good (giving to the poor is also part of the traditional Lenten
focus) rather than fast in any disciplined way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For our own spiritual maturity, we should use this moment to
engage in church-wide shared fasting from the eucharist as an expression of
shared sacrifice and solidarity with the entire world. It is an opportunity to
reconnect to the importance of not only what we want and consume, but what we
give up for greater purposes. It is a moment to see the positive in this
response rather than the negative in what we cannot practice for the moment.</div>

3. Communion is a great gift we share in the church. It is
the gift of Christ’s self-giving love, Christ’s very presence, made available
to us in a meal that connects us to his death and resurrection. As great a gift
as this is, and as precious as it is to the ongoing life of the faithful, it is
still a gift and not a requirement. We should not make participation in the eucharist
on a weekly basis (a wonderful practice I am grateful for) so essential to
people’s lives that if they cannot receive they cannot live full lives of faith
and trust God’s grace given to them by many means. People’s hunger for the sacrament
can be praised while the short-lived fasting can be encouraged.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Communion is a material thing, a bread and wine meal. It
cannot be separated from these things even if any individual cannot consume one
or the other of the elements. At the same time it is by definition a communal event
– not just communion with Christ but communion with one another through Christ.
The most important physical element present in the celebration of the communion
meal, a point often missing from eucharistic theologies, is the gathered community.
Virtual gatherings have their place in our lives today. But they do not and
cannot replace everything. They are very real and wonderful. But they are not physical
bodies gathered around a table, accepting one another in radical grace, breathing
and singing together, hearts pulsing in the same moment, receiving from one
table, one bread, one cup (I’m not promoting common cup here in this time of
pandemic, just the importance of the cup of the table around which we gather in
real place and time.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Communion gatherings are radical theological events: They
proclaim the most profound truth of Christian Gospel: incarnational love.
Christ is the incarnation of God’s Word in the flesh in history, and in the
communion meal. The gathered assembly becomes this incarnation of Christ
through this sacred event. Incarnational theology is a Christian belief in
direct opposition to mere propositional truth or love as a generalized concept.
It is the risky, costly, daring proclamation that God’s love is known in real
human bodies and real created stuff. </div>

5. We should not create unfortunate future implications for
our sacramental life by responding to the short-term necessary social
distancing by practicing virtual communion. We are already living in a digital
world where our in-person gatherings are becoming less common. We are already losing
an essential aspect of our humanity, living in real community, even as we
welcome the gift of virtual life that we have now. One of the great gifts and
realities of the church is that we gather together for Word and Sacrament. And
when others cannot join us, we remember them and minister to them as an act of compassion
and grace.<br />
<br />
6. One of the principal characteristics of Holy Communion is its
inclusivity of all the baptized. The admontion of Paul in First
Corinthians not to partake of the supper in a way unworthy, that fails
to discern the body, is specifically about those who are likely of poor
means and must work long hours and cannot make it to the agape meal
before everyone else has eaten up all the food. Paul admonishes the
wealthy and privileged to wait for the others, or else it is not the
Lord's Supper they are eating.<br />
<br />
We find ourselves in a
moment where the practice of virtual communion offers the sacrament in a
way that excludes many, including the poor without internet access, the
elderly who are not experienced with technology, and the sick who
cannot participate virtually and cannot receive by pastoral visit or
eucharistic minister because of social distancing. A moment of fasting
together in solidarity with all those who cannot participate with the
rest of the church in a possible virtual gathering seems true to the
intent of Paul and the church's theology of the church as the body of
Christ that includes all. </div>

These are the main points that come to mind for me as we
engage in this difficult moment for the church and the pastors that care deeply
about their people. I am not particularly interested in policing other church’s
practices. I am however interested in the norms and precedents we create by
responding to urgent needs with short-term solutions that might well diminish
our sacramental worship life together in the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is my hope that we can all lift up this moment as a time
of fasting, name the hunger we have to gather together again with each other
and with Christ in the material, sacramental gifts of bread and wine around the
table of grace, and come through this together until we celebrate with exuberance
and profound gratitude like we may not have known before. In the meantime, it
is my hope that the Word we proclaim through Scripture, preaching, liturgy,
song, conversation, and prayer is received fully as the gift of grace that it
is.<br />

<br />
<i>Refrain:</i> <br />
Nothing can separate us<br />
from the love of God in Christ.<br />
Nothing can separate us<br />
from the love, from the love.<br />
<br />
What about hardship?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about illness?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about peril?<br />
Nothing can separate us from the love.<br />
<br />
What about death?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about life?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about rulers?<br />
Nothing can separate us from the love.<br />
<br />
What about this day?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about tomorrow?<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
What about powers?<br />
Nothing can separate us from the love.<br />
<br />
We have Jesus.<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
We have the Spirit.<br />
Nothing can separate us.<br />
We have love.<br />
Nothing can separate us from the love.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163229935991757598.post-63334769702000833932020-03-13T11:29:00.002-05:002020-03-13T17:20:36.193-05:00A Pandemic Church. Or, Love in the Time of COVID-19<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s not often that we live in a time like this. A viral pandemic
is a scary reality that we must go through together. We aren’t used to shutting
down our lives. As a church we aren’t used to living without our regular Sunday
worship and the community formed around it and other gatherings and activities.
We can barely imagine cancelling our Holy Week and Easter celebrations, but now
we must contemplate this, too. Social distancing feels like the antipathy of
Christian community.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are not unique, however, in going through such times. The
past is filled with periods when plagues swept through cities and people
suffered greatly. The usual response to a plague was to flee. The wealthy and
powerful in particular were able to leave an area until it was safe to return.
The poor were left to endure the ravages of disease without the social and
political support they needed. During a number of ancient epidemics, the one
group that intentionally stayed behind to care for the sick and the dying was
the church.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During a fourth century plague in Caesarea, a large Roman city
already ravaged by war and famine, many fled. The Christians stayed behind. It
was one of many examples of how the church understood its mission to live the
love of Jesus by caring for neighbors in need, any neighbors, suffering
neighbors. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eusebius was the bishop of Caesarea during that time. He was
also a great early church historian. He wrote of the church during the plague:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>All day long some of them [the
Christians] tended to the dying and to their burial, countless numbers with no
one to care for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others gathered
together from all parts of the city a multitude of those withered from famine
and distributed bread to them all.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many attribute the large growth of the church in the
middle-East during these early centuries to the church’s radical acts of
compassion such as caring for their neighbors during plagues, not running away
and thinking only of themselves, and feeding the hungry without hesitation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of these courageous and compassionate Christians died
because of their choice to stay with the suffering around them rather than run
from it. Did they do it because they thought they were trying to convert
individuals to Christian faith or to grow the church into the largest religion
of the empire? No, they did it because they knew they existed in the world to
embody the love of Christ with words and actions, concrete expressions of God’s
love in real times and places. They did it because compassion flowed through
their veins as the very blood of Christ and love strengthened their bones as
the very body of Christ.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Church, we are in such a time. It is our calling now to be the
love of Christ for our neighbors. We don’t need to spend much energy wondering
if those we care for will join our churches or learn to love Jesus like we do
if we do this or that good deed. We need to spend our energy doing all we can
to bring health and healing, compassion and love into reality. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fortunately, we know much more about how disease spreads
than they did in the ancient world. They knew contact was hazardous, but they
didn’t understand the means of transmission. We have the great gift of medical
science to help us. We need not place ourselves in unnecessary risk. Part of
what we must do now is join with the whole society and globe in reducing
unnecessary risk. But that does not mean abandoning our vulnerable and anxious
neighbors to fend for themselves. We can’t do that. It’s in our blood and bones
to be love and compassion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may recall the story from Matthew’s Gospel:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>When the Pharisees heard that Jesus
had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a
question to test him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Teacher, which
commandment in the law is the greatest?"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the greatest and first
commandment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And a second is like it:
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."</i>
(Matthew 22:34-40)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Jesus is asked what is the most important commandment,
he responds not with one but two, because you can’t sum up what is most
important about the God of the Bible without saying both at the same time: Love
God. Love your neighbor. For followers of Jesus, we cannot separate our love of
God from our love of neighbor. We hear in the First Letter of John that these
two are deeply connected:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whoever does not love does not know God, for
God is love… The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must
love their brothers and sisters also.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(1
John 4:7-8, 21)</div>

This love is real and concrete, expressed in words and deeds,
actions that heal and bring justice. It is not romantic. It is not necessarily
feel-good. I confess I have not read Gabriel García Márquez’s book “Love in the
Time of Cholera.” I’ve been reading about it, though. The author has said that
those who read it need to be careful “not to fall into my trap.” He sets up the
reader to think of love in romantic ways when all the while he is undoing such
simple notions. Love itself can be a kind of cholera or disease when we only
think it is a feel-good thing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m contemplating the ways we are called to be church today
like the ancient world – to stay instead of flee, to show love and compassion instead
of act only out of self-concern, to have courageous faith instead of fear that
runs rampant, to love even if it doesn’t feel good. We can’t avoid having fear
and anxiety, and caring for ourselves is wise and good. We must listen now
deeply to what our faith in a God of loving care means and let it guide us even
as we acknowledge we are anxious and afraid.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s time to redirect our energies and resources to respond
in our communities in new and beautifully loving ways. I’m imaging some. Maybe
you are starting to think of others. Here are some of mine:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Be willing to be part of the large effort to slow down
the transmission of the virus. We must sacrifice much that is precious to us in
the short term to join in the work of preventing our health care system from
being overrun, and thereby increasing suffering and death as those who need medical
care don’t receive it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Take actions that minimize risk for those most vulnerable
to this disease: elderly and immunocompromised persons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Develop new ways of caring for one another during this
crisis, such as:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>a. Checking
in regularly with those who are vulnerable in your church.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>b.
Offering assistance to those who need to isolate themselves from exposure:
grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, helping them learn how to use delivery
services.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>c. Be
aware of those who might have a difficult time managing their own emotional
health with increased anxiety and social isolation. Keep in touch through
phone, text, email, and social media even more than normal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>d. Listen
to health care for professionals for safe ways to visit the sick and care for
them. Some will get sick and not have family or friends nearby to help them
with meals or other personal needs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Encourage church members who are able to do all of these acts
of compassion for their neighbors. Love of neighbor does not distinguish
between church and unchurched. Now more than ever we must believe and live
this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Explore and experiment with all the ways we can use
social media to connect. Social distancing doesn’t have to mean social
disconnection and it might be more important now to do these things. Live
streaming worship services, posting devotionals, setting shared prayer times,
conference calls for conversation groups… there are so many ways to connect and
uplift. We can redirect our energies now to see what works for people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Look for ways this crisis will impact the poor, the
homeless, the unemployed, the uninsured, immigrants, refugees. Help them as we
can, but also, name the injustices and call our political leaders to enact
policies that protect people and provide adequate health care, food, and shelter
all the time, not just during a pandemic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lh8ESNWR7NU/Xmu0nQG5yGI/AAAAAAAABcc/hsif3VMw058jpvSUBWsnwYieeFjsq2FiwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/olga-bakhtina-crucifixion-bluethumb-c93c.jpeg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lh8ESNWR7NU/Xmu0nQG5yGI/AAAAAAAABcc/hsif3VMw058jpvSUBWsnwYieeFjsq2FiwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/olga-bakhtina-crucifixion-bluethumb-c93c.jpeg.png" width="212" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During this global shared experience of pandemic, we are
observing what happens when a virus spreads because of one person making
contact with another. We can also experience another kind of pandemic and
spread another kind of virus: the love of neighbor. Yes, this is how the early
church grew quickly. No, I’m not suggesting we use this moment to grow the
church. I am suggesting that we spread the virus of love of neighbor by rising
above our own selfish concerns and showing what God’s love looks like when it
really matters. These embodied examples of Christ’s love will certainly spread from
person to person, infecting hearts and imaginations with compassion, and love
will abound. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is surely what God is up to in Jesus and in us by the
Spirit’s power: not to grow the church, but to grow compassion and love in this
world. This is what we hear in the word of Scripture and preaching when we
gather for worship, which we may need to fast from for a short while. This is
what we are nourished by in the bread and wine of communion, which we may also
need to fast from for a time. But having been so thoroughly loved and fed for
so long, this is a fast we can endure. We can continue to love in this time of COVID-19
and spread the pandemic of love because compassion flows through our veins as
the very blood of Christ and love strengthens our bones as the very body of
Christ.</div>

<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">Music is a universal human experience. It has a deep resonance in the human spirit, connecting individuals and communities to mystery, holiness, beauty, joy, sorrow, and the divine. The earliest forms of music were most likely percussion, and even in our world of sophisticated musical developments, drums and percussion stir us in ways we cannot fully explain.</span></div>
<div class="Bulletintext" style="mso-pagination: none;">

<div class="Bulletintext" style="mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">Christian worship is almost always a musical experience. Great liturgies tend to do two things at once: Unite the individual worshipper with God and form a community united with God as one. This communal and individual experience of God is what makes worship such a profound human activity. For Christians, this unity with God and one another comes through the grace of Christ by the power of the Spirit. Christian worship, therefore, creates a community through the good news of Jesus Christ. Worship almost always includes Scripture, preaching, prayer, and sacraments, but without music to convey and support these great things of worship, the power and depth of experience is often not there.</span></div>

<div class="Bulletintext" style="mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">I created this percussion liturgy with the notion that comes from many African cultures: music is a communal experience, and communal experiences are musical. In particular, drumming, percussion, and rhythm create a unique opportunity to experience community. One drummer’s rhythm will play on some beats and leave spaces on others. Those spaces are where others add their rhythms. The whole created by these layerings of rhythms express this wonderfully complex understanding that community creates space for each person, and each person participates in and experiences something greater than any individual.</span></div>
<div class="Bulletintext" style="mso-pagination: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Bulletintext" style="mso-pagination: none;">
<span lang="en-US" style="language: en-US; mso-ansi-language: en-US; mso-ligatures: none;">This eucharistic liturgy invites communal participation through drums and other percussion, hand clapping, foot tapping, singing, and dancing. Whether you are a professional musician, a hobbyist like me, or someone who enjoys music but you’re not sure you have rhythm or tonality, this liturgy invites you to participate, find joy in community and in God by sharing in the rhythms of life, knowing there is space for you here.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In the night in which he was

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">our Lord Jesus took bread,</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> and

thanks,</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">and gave it for all to drink,
saying:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This cup is the new covenant</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> in
my blood,</span>
