A letter from The Office of the Bishop
Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dear Friends in Christ,
As of May 20, the marriage of same sex couples is now allowable in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I rejoice in this
development.The understandings of what constitutes marriage and family have evolved significantly over time and especially the last
few generations. The shape of marriage has changed vastly over the centuries and the change continues. It is clear that the definition of
what and who constitutes a family is under examination and open to modification and new understandings of the nature of human
relationships. It is the work and ministry of the Church to bring people to unity with God and one another; it is the very nature of
marriage to show forth through intimate human relationships “…the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church.” (Paul’s
Letter to the Church in Ephesus/The Book of Common Prayer, page 423)
For several decades, The Episcopal Church has been faithful in seeking understanding in what God is calling us to in relation to
matters of sexuality and marriage. I have come to believe that marriage is the union of two people to live together in fidelity, love and
unity until death parts them whether the partners in the marriage are of the same or different genders. I pray that all married persons
become ever more signs to a broken world of the unity God intends for all people and that they become channels of God’s love into
the lives of those around them.
As Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, I give my permission to the Priests of this Diocese to marry persons of the same
gender, though in accord with our Canons, no Priest is required to do so. In addition to following the legal requirements of the State,
the Canonical policies and procedures that apply to heterosexual couples desiring to be married are now extended to include persons
of the same gender who wish to be married.
Thankfully, The Episcopal Church is part of a broad catholic and reformed Christian tradition that allows for unity even in the midst
of disagreement. Not all members of this Church will agree with this decision. In The Episcopal Church, there is room for all people
of good conscience and good will toward their neighbor to gather as one around God’s altar.
Only liturgical form approved by the General Convention of The Episcopal Church will be used (attached: The Witnessing and
Blessing of a Lifelong Covenant). The rubrics of the rite state that the bishop may authorize modifications of the Pronouncement, and
I authorize the following modification: "Now that N. and N. have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of
hands and the giving and receiving of rings, I pronounce that they are married, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit. Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder."
May God bless us all, and God “…grant that all married persons find their lives strengthened and their loyalties confirmed.” (The
Book of Common Prayer, page 430)
Faithfully,

The Rt Rev Clifton Daniell ordained Martha Dixon Tucker to the Sacred Order of
Deacons on Saturday June 14, 2014 at African Episcopal Church of St Thomas ,
Philadelphia, Pa. Trinity Church is Martha’s sponsoring church. The sacred Order
of Deacons is one of three ordained ministries within the Episcopal Church. The
other two being priest and bishop. Historically the liturgical role of deacon has been
reading the Gospel and assisting at the Eucharist table. The word deacon comes
from the Greek diakonos meaning servant. Deacons serve in a variety of pastoral
ministries in their communities. Many people within the church are “vocational”
deacons. Trinity Church sponsored Denise Leo as a vocational deacon some years
ago. Martha will be a transitional deacon serving in a parish for a period of time
before being ordained a priest and taking additional priestly duties. Most recently
Trinity Church saw Nora Johnson in this role. – Carol Williamson

History of Trinity
An Excerpt from “A Hundred Years Journeying” By Harry Toland, December, 1994.
“If ever a church’s refugee sponsorship turned out well, it was Trinity’s of the Oliver
family. The church may have reached out initially, but it won a family of lasting loyalty
and support, a family of friends. Trinity church originally thought it was sponsoring two
families, the Olivers and an uncle and nephew of another family. The uncle however,
went to New York and the nephew followed him there. In October, 1962, Women of
Trinity hosted a lunch for Ofelia Oliver attended by more than 100 women. It was
described as “a most happy occasion.” Angel’s job at Wanamaker’s Wynnewood store
did not pay well, and the Vestry appropriated funds from time to time to help the
Olivers get started. The June 1963 Vestry minutes report that “Wanamaker’s finally has
given Mr. Oliver a raise of $3 a week which is totally inadequate. Therefore he is free to
find another job.” That may have jogged the store. The following month, the minutes
relate that he received “a substantial raise… and his future now looks good.”Trinity also helped to bring Angel Oliver Sr.,
Angel’s father, and Manuel Escoto, Ofelia’s father, to the
United States from Spain, where they had gone from Cuba.
The senior Oliver had a dramatic arrival at the church. The
account of the February 3, 1964 annual meeting tells of Rector
Layton Zimmer reporting on efforts to get more members of
the Oliver family out of Cuba. “Then he announced that three
hours earlier the father of Angel Oliver had landed in New
York. At this point the door opened and Angel Oliver entered
with his father. The latter spoke a few words of greeting and
thanks to the gathering.” The senior Oliver stayed with the
family for a few months and worked briefly for the Paulson rug
company, then left to work and live in Union City, NJ. Manuel
Escoto lived with the Olivers until his death in 1968. In 1965
the Rector read a letter to the Vestry from the Oliver family
“expressing their gratitude and love for all the help extended
to them by many members of the parish.” Two years later voted funds to bring four members of the Escoto family to this
country from Spain. the Vestry “

Some of Trinity’s youth participated in "Boxed Out" at
Wallingford Presbyterian.A Box-Out is an event where students
come together to raise awareness for issues
surrounding homelessness.
The youth met to bake cookies
which were taken to The
Seamen's Church Institute for
delivery to seamen.
Mission Trip
Candy Cook, Jesse Clemmer, Leah Graham, Andrew Manwaring, John Crawford,
Britton Cook and Joyce Tompkins joined Youth works in McDowell County, West
Virginia. Once a thriving community, McDowell County spiraled downhill from 1950 to 2000. In that time the population
decreased by nearly 75%. By the year 2000 the community had little hope, schools were failing both physically and
academically and intervention was needed to avoid a complete collapse of the community. It came in the form of state
aid which brought needed repairs and resources to the crippled school system. Out of that intervention, hope began to
grow. Less than a year later those hopes were dashed with two back-to-back devastating flood seasons that wiped out
many of the small towns in the county. Several people died or disappeared altogether in the floods and entire towns
were demolished. McDowell County residents are working their way out of these challenges with a new resolve to repair
their community. “Come Grow with Us” was the motto adopted in 2005 to demonstrate the county’s desire for growth
and rebirth after significantly challenging times. In this area of approximately 27,000 residents, the unemployment rate
hovers around 11% and the median household income is nearly $25,000 less per year than the national average. The
poverty rate remains around 32% of the population. The community has seen some growth and success, particularly
with the opening of many new businesses in the area, creating employment
opportunities for residents. Growth happens slowly but this community is seeing
change and experiencing hope. The group had the opportunity to serve through
facilitating a Kids Club
program and through work
projects.
Congratulations to Ann Marie Stanton for picking the Golden Halo winner!
About Lent Madness
Trinity participated for the first time this year. Lent Madness began in 2010 as the brainchild of
the Rev. Tim Schenck. In seeking a fun, engaging way for people to learn about the men and
women comprising the Church’s Calendar of Saints, Tim came up with this unique Lenten
devotion. Combining his love of sports with his passion for the lives of the saints, Lent Madness
was born on his blog “Clergy Family Confidential.”
The format is straightforward: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination
bracket. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time and people vote for their favorite saint.
16 saints make it to the Round of the Saintly Sixteen; eight advance to the Round of the Elate Eight; four make it to the
Faithful Four; two to the Championship; and the winner is awarded the coveted Golden Halo. The first round consists of
basic biographical information about each of the 32 saints. Things get a bit more interesting in the subsequent rounds as
we offer quotes and quirks, explore legends, and even move into the area of saintly kitsch.

10 Reasons Why People Leave Church
By Benjamin L. Corey Originally published in
“Formerly Fundie” Blog.As I thought about my own opinion as to why people leave the church, it struck me that
the actual reasons why people leave aren’t necessarily reasons that apply to one generation or the other. The issues
that wound and tear a person down to the point that they walk out the door are typically issues that affect people
from all generations and all walks of life. In fact, the reasons I have compiled are issues that led me to walk way
from church as twenty-year-old, and still tempt me to walk out again some days– even though I’m not 20
anymore.Whether you’ve always known what e-mail was, rode your big-wheel in the street without a helmet, can remember seeing
ET in the theater, or did time in ‘Nam, here are the 10 reasons why people from all generations leave church:
10. People leave church when they can’t find community.
This is one of those reasons where it can serve as a reason why people come to church in the first place, and also becomes
a reason why they leave– people want community. So many of us are tired of doing life on our own, tired of plastic
American relationships, and are looking for deep, loyal, and authentic communal relationships. This should be a central
goal of churches– building community. Why? Christianity was never meant to be lived out in the context of isolation, but
rather in the context of community. When people can’t find community, can’t plug-in or access meaningful relationships,
they split in hopes they’ll find it somewhere else. When a church learns to do community well, it is a life-giving
experience. When churches fail to build community, church just becomes another item on your list that sucks the life out
of you. I have experienced church both ways and can honestly say that I’m finished investing emotional energy into
churches that don’t build a culture that values authentic community.
9. People leave church because they need less drama in their lives.
I don’t know about you, but my life always seems to have enough drama in it– I certainly don’t need anything that is
going to add to the drama factor. So often, people seek out church because they need a reprieve, a refuge from the
emotional drama of day to day living. However, far too often church relationships find a way to add to your drama. Now,
I get that we’re all imperfect and that any group will have their own conflict, but some churches seem to do drama more
than others. Our jobs, family dynamics and friendships provide us with enough opportunity to be gossiped about, backstabbed, and pushed to the margins- we don’t need to add to that. Church needs to be a safe place where one can escape
the typical relational drama we all face and instead experience loving support and acceptance. When church just becomes
another area that is going to add drama to my life, I need to cut the cord and move on for my own sanity. Which leads me
too…
8. People leave church because of unresolved conflict.
As mentioned above, any community is going to have conflict. However, a healthy and life-giving community is one that
practices healthy conflict resolution in order to keep relationships safe and whole. Some churches do a fantastic job at
helping individuals reconcile their differences in loving ways which deescalate and restore, while others have skewed
ideas of what reconciliation looks like. Too often, wounded people are told, or are caused to feel, as if their emotional
response to being wounded is somehow wrong or sinful. We can be encouraged to “forgive and forget”, “get over it”, or
even told we have “no right to feel that way”. We fail to realize that wounded people need to have their feelings
validated, and need to have a place to air their hurts in a way that causes them to feel heard. If we want people to stop
leaving church, we need to develop radical humility and become the peacemakers that Jesus claimed would be blessed.
7. People leave church because of controlling leaders and unskilled teachers.
Leaders make or break an organization, and church is no different. When the pastor or church leader(s) come across as
controlling (whether it is real or perceived) it creates an environment that doesn’t feel safe to people. No one wants to be
controlled or dominated in church– not even the people who assimilate and eventually tolerate such environments.
Instead, people want to feel heard and included in issues of decision making and long-term vision. Too often, it seems like
the kids who are picked on in high school either become cops or pastors so that they can control other people- and they
become increasingly intoxicated with their own perceived power. When people like me smell this, we bolt.
Likewise, you can have a church with a great community and a loving pastor– but a pastor who happens to be differently
gifted outside the realm of preaching, and lose people. The longest 45 minute blocks in my life have been when I have
been forced to sit and listen to a person fly the plane around the pulpit ten times, without ever landing. Bad preaching is
miserable. If people feel like the preaching sucks, they’ll leave in search of something else. We need to make sure we place
people in positions to serve in accordance with their abilities AND passions, not just their passions.
6. People leave church because they get turned off by social climbing, cliques, and nepotism.
Social climbing is simply how I would describe the phenomena where people have to acquire a certain amount of “social
credit” with the people of influence before they can serve and be included. As a result, the popular folks at church amass
followers, and power. Such a system requires you to play the “game” with people of influence if you want to be a fully
included member of the group (leading to the formation of cliques). Some people, like me, refuse to do this in silent
protest… instead believing that all people should be able to come together to experience God, equally. Nepotism goes
along the same lines– we don’t want to see people elevated to their positions because they were of the right bloodline, or
played the game with the right people– we want to see people elevated to positions simply on the basis of their skills,
abilities, and calling.
5. People leave church when they feel like they need to become a carbon copy of an individual or ideal in order to be
fully included and appreciated.
During the times when I have found myself church shopping online, one of the first things I look at is the church’s
statement of faith. This isn’t so much because I care about what they believe (although, I obviously do) but because I want
to know if I’m going to be required to be a detailed copy of everyone else to be accepted. When I see a ten-page statement
of faith the spells out everything from “Who is God” to “Why we believe the rapture will happen next Tuesday”, it tells
me that there will be no room for me to live, breathe, or be my own person– my acceptance will depend on whether or not
I am a carbon copy of everyone else.
People want to be who God made them– they don’t want to be a carbon copy of who God made you. When we feel forced to fit into
a predetermined mold as to what a member of this community must look like, we leave (or in my case, I don’t ever go to
begin with). Most people don’t want to be like everyone else, and when a certain culture tells them they must become a
clone as a condition of acceptance, many will leave instead of submitting to such a dehumanizing experience.
4. People leave church because they are tired of being told how a “good Christian” will vote.
One of the most frustrating aspects of Evangelical Christianity is that it’s not so much of a faith tradition anymore, as it is
a political movement. When I was in seminary I wrote frequently on this issue calling it the “deification of western
values”, because Christian culture has picked a few hot-button political issues and married one’s political opinion on
these issues to their faith. We are tired of this. All of us.
It is possible to sincerely love Jesus and still not vote for the Republican candidate. PLEASE stop making people feel like
voting differently is somehow akin to apostasy. Jesus followers hold a wide array of political beliefs, and that’s okay–
they’re just political beliefs… it’s not theology not matter how hard others want to make it theology.
The sooner we can embrace our political diversity, and end this unholy marriage with conservative politics, the sooner we
can all start trying to follow Jesus, together.
3. People leave church because they’re looking for something authentic.
The word authentic means: “not false, but real… therefore reliable and trustworthy”. Ironically, I can think of no more
authentic message than the loving and very real message of Jesus.
However, the way we often live that out is far from authentic. In scripture we see authenticity being something God
loves; my favorite characters in the Bible are the people who were raw and who told God exactly what was on their mind,
minus a filter. These are the people, such as David, whom God calls “friend”.
Yet, church often becomes a place where you want to be anything but real. It’s just not safe to do so- especially with people
who are busy pretending they have it all together but still seem to have enough time to be your worst critic.
People want to do church with people who are real, people who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable in relationship, and who
are willing to sit beside you in the messiness of life. When church feels fake and like it’s not a safe place to be vulnerable,
people leave in hopes they’ll find someplace that is.
2. People leave church because they feel lonely.
As you look through items 10-3, imagine how it feels to experience the losing end of one of these issues (sadly, I don’t
think many of you will have to imagine that). The feeling of being excluded, by definition, creates an intense loneliness.
Being one of the only people living raw and authentically in a quest for community, is a lonely feeling. Being the one
person who can’t, in good conscience, sign onto the same statement of faith that the group has, is a lonely feeling.
Watching cliques form as an outsider, and watching people who rise to esteemed positions by way of church politics, is a
lonely feeling.
People leave church because they start to feel like an outsider, and that makes them lonely. It is an emotion that is painful,
powerful, and given enough time, unbearable. If leaving church is what’s needed to stop feeling so lonely and to stop
feeling like an outsider– they’ll do it (and it would be the right decision).
1. People leave church when they don’t find Jesus.
This sounds silly on the surface, but it’s not. Church of all places should look like Jesus! Church should be a place where
people are busy loving the unlovable, embracing the outcast, serving the widow, immigrant and fatherless. It should be a
place where power is rejected, gender and race is irrelevant, and where the most coveted position is the position of
servant. I think we need to just start being honest with ourselves and admit that a lot of people reject our churches because they’re too
interested in Jesus to accept a counterfeit version.
When I look at the story of Jesus, I am consistently moved by the way people were attracted to his personality. With the
exception of religious conservatives, everyone longed to be around Jesus and went to great lengths and great risk to
spend time with him. I am convinced that if we built loving communities of faith that were raw and authentic, that
embraced the excluded, and were known by how well they loved others, there wouldn’t be an empty chair in the
sanctuary. Because if a church were really to look like Jesus, people wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Youth Center Celebrates Success How does a Philly teen who’s in foster care, homeless or
otherwise at risk beat the odds and stay on track with career training? Some would answer, “it
takes a village.” True enough. But ECS would add, “it takes a new approach.” On April 12, the
shape, progress and success of that approach — built around re-framing the past and re-thinking
the future — were showcased as the Saturday youth group unveiled their marketing projects. Seeing Youth Succeed, their new
name, was chalked in bright, bold lettering on the blackboard that dominates their space and was graphically represented in their
new logo. Homelessness, an issue they know well, was the focus of their just-completed, hard-hitting documentary. “It’s projectbased learning,” explains Arley Styer, who is directing the program. “Even though they have thought partners, the kids drive the
process, and it’s very effective. The goal is to build critical thinking, teamwork and leadership.” Some of the city’s top creative
agencies provided advice and encouragement for this year’s projects. Said Ryan Overhiser, a copywriter at Allen & Gerristen and one
of the first guest speakers, “They seemed refreshed after we talked, like they were ready to dive headfirst and practice some of the
thinking we shared with them.” Similarly positive, Robby Fernandez, CEO of Moxie Pictures and a speaker near the end of the
projects, said, “You could easily see how enthusiastic and passionate they were about film. I was quite impressed by their desire to
get as much information and knowledge as possible.” Other speakers were “Que” Gaskins from Que-in, Leticia Whitsett from Tierney
Agency, Ben Harrison from 160 over 90 and Caitlin Vivian from Allen & Gerristen. Rick Boyko, who was director and professor at the
VCU Brandcenter and spent many years with top ad agencies, Leo Burnett, Chiat/Day and Ogilvy & Mather, provided ongoing and
inspiring consultation. A second $100,000 grant from the Caroline Alexander Buck Foundation is helping to fuel success of SYS and,
in fact, the Youth Center as a whole. Just last year the foundation awarded its first $100,000 grant to ECS for expansion of a pilot
program then known as Teens Takin’ Over. It started as a workshop series for about 40 teens, ages 14 to 18, in other ECS programs.
However, now the Youth Center offers individualized employment preparation to about 100 youth, up to age 23. What’s perhaps
most notable is that the Youth
Center is supporting kids over 18 just
when other programs stop. Research
shows that older at-risk kids often get
discouraged and drop out of college
or career training. So they require an
intensive assessment and training
program to develop the necessary skills
and resources for sustainable
employment and financial stability.
“We’ve hit a niche,” says Dave
Griffith. “We don’t know of another city
agency using our experiential,
cognitive therapy approach, and the older
youth are coming in droves.” To
benchmark success, the University of
Pennsylvania, Temple University and
Drexel University have partnered with ECS
to determine clear goals and
outcomes. That accomplished, ECS is now
quantifying the concrete, positive
effects of the program.
