The Apostle’s Standard
St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church
January 2015
Dear Friends in Christ,
Early this morning I awoke to the sound of thunder. Wherever the bolt of lightning struck, it must have been close. Instead of the low rumbling I had heard
throughout the evening, this particular strike sounded with a sharp crack that
woke me out of a deep sleep. I not only heard the sound, I felt the thunder shake
me awake. The sensation caused me to feel as if heaven itself was falling down
upon my little apartment.
The Rev.
Daniel Shumate
Deacon/
Seminarian
Lightning is the result of immense static-electric buildup. Positive and negative
charges on the opposite ends of clouds collect, and in one moment, pull electrons
out from the accumulated water droplets in the clouds. The positive charges at
the earth’s surface pull the negative charge out from the bottom of the cloud, and
create an electric pathway. Thunder thus results from the expansion of rapidly
heating air, which explodes outward and creates the cosmic boom that I heard.
I find something interesting about this. I cannot see static electricity. I cannot see
the millions of electrons that fill water droplets. But in one moment, that which
was previously invisible is profoundly present. The physics of nature, through
imperceptible to the naked eye, direct all my person to their presence.

Mission Statement:
A nurturing, inclusive
community centered in
Jesus Christ, called to grow
in our faith through
worship, ministry,
education, and service.
We have now entered the season of Epiphany. Epiphany is the lightning strike,
the cosmic boom, of the liturgical year. Just as the electrons within the cloud’s water droplets, God is already incarnate in Christmastide, but it is the cosmic boom
of Epiphany that allows for us – unseeing pilgrims beneath the clouds – to stop
and consider what is really happening in the world. Like the lightning strike,
Christ calls out to us in physical form, and makes manifest the mystery of the
heavens through signs, symbols, and rituals that ask us to respond. God is stirring
up something powerful in our very midst, and we are called to look up and wonder what that something is.
In the same way that lightning expands the surrounding air in a loud boom,
Christ’s self-revealing changes the landscape of creation. The love of God realized
in Christ’s enfleshment indicates heaven’s interest in earth. You and I are important to God. The way we live, the way we treat God’s children, God’s creation
is of particular interest to the creator.
How is God’s lightning strike causing you to wonder through this new year?
What parts of your person are still aimlessly traveling beneath the clouds of heaven and need to stop and ‘look up’ as the heavens quake for your attention? How
can you allow Epiphany to call you out from the east, and follow the path toward
the revealed Christ?
I pray through this Epiphany, that God wakes us from that slumber, and calls us
to wonder at the presence of Jesus among us.
Yours in Christ,
The Rev. Daniel Owen Shoemake
Deacon/Seminarian

CURRENT ADULT FORMATION CLASSES
Sunday Mornings, 9:30 a.m. – 10:20 a.m.
Newcomers Class
January 11 – February 1
The Taylor Room
Facilitators: The Very Rev. Wm McCord Thigpen, Rector; Bob Van Keuren, long time parishioner and
editor of the 2004 Jubilee History.
New to St. Bartholomew's? We welcome you. Have some questions? We will try to answer them.
Want to know a little more? Test the waters; come to four sessions that cover: an overall introduction to
the parish "Who are we and what are we about?", St Bartholomew's history, our worship, and the layout
of the church and chapel. You will have an opportunity to meet the rector and ask your questions. This
series of four sessions repeats several times each year.
Changing Theology seen through our Liturgies
January 11 – February 1
The Meeting Room
Presenter: The Rev. Corinne Crammer
The key to understanding what Episcopalians believe is to listen to our worship. Although the Book of
Common Prayer is central to the way we pray together, the Prayer Book has changed over the centuries.
How do changes in the practices and beliefs of the Episcopal Church affect the way we worship? And
what might the future hold for our worship? This course will explore the evolution of the Book of Common Prayer from the 1549 English Prayer Book to our present Episcopal liturgies.
Corinne is a gifted teacher and assisting priest at St. Bartholomew's.
Does the Church have a role in Fostering Civil Discourse?
February 8 & 15. Meeting Room
Facilitators: Members of the Adult Formation Committee
This two part series will show clips of a 90 min live webcast that the Episcopal Church aired in
October from the historic Christ Church in Philadelphia. The presenters, including the Presiding Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori make various arguments for the Episcopal Church to take
up its role and fostering civil discourse among the Abrahamic faiths. Segments of the webcast
will be shown, followed by guided discussion. You can go to

ANNOUNCING UPCOMING CLASSES FOR LENT
WEDNESDAY EVENING
FILM AND DISCUSSION SERIES DISMANTLING RACISM: A LENTEN JOURNEY TOWARD LIBERATION
February 25, March 4, 11, 18, & 25; 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The Meeting Room
Lent is a time for not only self-examination and repentance, but also one that anticipates liberation from the
things that bind us, limiting our full human experience. The Diocesan Commission for Dismantling Racism
has invited each parish in the diocese this Lent, to explore the nation's evolving race-relations and the structures that support racism. 2015 is also the 50th anniversary of the death of Jonathan Daniels, an Episcopal
seminarian from Washington DC, who was killed in Hayneville Alabama while working on civil rights.
There will be a diocesan pilgrimage to Hayneville late this summer. In response to the dioscesan invitation
and in preparation for the pilgrimage, St. Bartholomew's response is to host a series of films with discussion; Banished, Traces of the Trade, Slaves in the Family and The Journey of Jonathan Daniels to name the
key films. We are inviting guest facilitators to host each film and discussion. Dinner is served before class,
and we will end each session with Compline. Please sign up for the dinners.
SUNDAY MORNINGS IN LENT
A LENTEN EXPLORATION - TWELVE STEP SPIRITUALITY
Sundays February 22, 29 & March 8
9:30 a.m. - 10:20 a.m. The Meeting Room
The Twelve Step practices and principles known well too many who are recovering from addictions, also
have great wisdom and practical application for anyone on a spiritual journey. Lead by two St. Bartholomew members, this series will look at the origins of the twelve step practices as well as incorporation into
life. The brief presentations are designed to facilitation class discussion. See Beverley Elliott, [email protected], for more details.
REMEMBERING MARY MAGDALENE IN HOLY WEEK
Sundays, March 15 & 22; 6:30 p.m.. The Brooks Room
Presenters: Lisa Persons and Beverley Elliott
How might including a liturgy in Holy Week that remembers Mary Magdalene’s loving anointing of Jesus’
feet shift your experience of this annual unfolding of Holy events? On Holy Monday this year, March 30 at
6:30 p.m., St. Bartholomew's will host a contemplative liturgy created by Episcopal priest and modern mystic, The Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault. The liturgy invites us all to remember how Mary Magdalene ardently
anointed Jesus’ feet after he arrived in Jerusalem, revealing that she knew the sacrifice he was about to
make. Marking Mary Magdalene’s loving accompaniment of Jesus at every stage of the Holy Week drama
shifts the emphasis from abandonment of Jesus and consequential guilt, to his sacrificial love – a course of
action voluntarily chosen, bringing about the cosmic reconciliation through which “all heaven and earth are
brought together in unity through Christ.” (Ephesians 1:10)
The two classes are designed to prepare participants for the contemplative anointing liturgy. This unique
liturgy was first offered at the Episcopal House of Prayer in Collegeville, Minnesota. To read more about
the liturgy, see this article: http://www.episcopalcafe.com/put_women_back_into_holy_week/
Lisa Persons has and M. Div. from Candler School of Theology and is coordinator for Amerson House Spirituality
Center. She has studied with Cynthia Bourgeault over a number of years. The Rev. Beverley Elliott is Senior Associate
Rector for Adult Formation and Pastoral Care at St. Bartholomew's.

ANNOUNCING UPCOMING CLASSES FOR LENT
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A LENTEN PRACTICE THIS YEAR?
Read the Bible in a Year - The Bible Challenge comes to Episcopalians
Always wanted to read the Bible all the way through? 2015 could be your year.
Start in Lent (February 18)!
To finish in a year, each day you will read 3 chapters from the Old Testament, 1 Psalm and 1
chapter from the New Testament. It will take you 20-25 minutes, depending.
All you need to do is:
• Go to the free online schedule for readings: (www.thecenterforbiblicalstudies.org) . You
will also get background information and hear from the priest Marek Zabriskie, the founder of
the Bible Challenge.
• Purchase a good study Bible (The New Oxford Annotated Bible, New Revised Standard
Version with Apocrypha, 2010, 4th edition, is recommended by The Rev. Zabriskie and colleagues). Talk with Beverley Elliott if you want further advice. Go to online Amazon or try
discount bible sites or Cathedral Bookstore. Cost $18-$35 (depending hardback or paperback;
new or used).
• Purchase The Bible Challenge, Read the Bible in a Year, ed. Marek P. Zabriskie, available
www.forwardmovement.org $18 or go to Cathedral Bookstore. The portion of the book covering the first thirty plus days is available at no charge. The full Kindle / iPad version is available for 9.99. This book offers a brief commentary on each set of readings for the day. The authors include Marek Zabriskie, former Presiding Bishop, Frank Griswold, former Archbishop
of Canterbury Rowen Williams, Biblical scholar Walter Brueggeman and others.
• Send an email to Beverley Elliott ([email protected]) if you plan to join the challenge. If there is interest we can form an on line or real time support group.
Research reveals that Christians who show the most change in their faith behavior are not
those who go to church, or even read the Bible twice a week. It is people who read the Bible
four times or more a week. Parishes and dioceses around the U.S. have experienced renewed
energy as people have committed to reading. Join Beverley and others in this venture.

YOUTH NEWS
St. Bartholomew’s
& The Journey to
Adulthood
The Essentials of the Program
The Journey to Adulthood is the Sunday youth curriculum used at St. Bartholomew’s. It is a six-year
program, divided into three two-year components:
RiteRite-13 (a name based on a liturgical celebration
integral to the program) celebrates the gift of
gender and provides a foundation for the remainder of the program.
J2A (Journey to Adulthood) builds on Rite-13 by
training young people in six necessary skills of
adulthood: Listening, Assertion, Negotiation,
Research and Information Management, Partnership and Leadership; and
Sr. High - builds on the previous four years of the
program by enabling the young people to
practice their newly-acquired skills in the context of the supportive congregation community.
Each segment of the program has in common a
systematic focus on all the aspects of a whole person. Self, Society, Sexuality and Spirituality are the
areas which are covered, in depth, in the light of
the Gospel, in order that the reality of young people’s lives can be strengthened, encouraged,
healed, corrected, and empowered by the life and
wisdom of Jesus Christ. Jesus is again our model
for these four areas. At the end of the gospel story
of Jesus in the temple, we read, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and
human favor.”
The life of Jesus is a life of balance, in which no
province of human experience is exempt from the
love and instruction of God. The program takes
seriously the need to deal with what is real for
young people, to honor their questions, to assure
them that they are real people with real, valid and
authentic experiences; and we undertake to place
a scriptural, spiritual and liturgical frame around
each and every one of those experiences. To do
less than that is to imply that God is only interest-
ed in our piety or in our ability to participate in
certain rituals.
God is absolutely interested in every aspect of human life. That is one reason for the Incarnation: to
remind us all, time and time again, of God’s presence in the mundane and the sublime, in our
speech and in our silence, in our understanding
and our misunderstanding.
By entering into a dialogue with young people
about all of their concerns, and by offering to
them the instruction of faith, as best we can, we
seek to show these youngsters, in the words of the
Collect for Young Persons, “That your ways give
more life than the ways of the world, and that following you is better than chasing after selfish
goals.” (BCP 829)
We seek to integrate these four aspects of being
human into a harmonious whole. The secular
world virtually ignores spirituality while placing
undue emphasis on sexuality. The Church virtually ignores sexuality, except for its mandate that
we refrain from sexual behaviors outside the context of committed, monogamous relationships
blessed by the Church.
If we look at the self in isolation, rather than as a
part of the Body of Christ, we miss God’s calling
to
wholeness
and
interdependence.
And if we consider societal needs and social action without considering the implications of our
spirituality, we miss the chance to see that all of
God’s actions in history have been on behalf of the
poor, the downcast, the disenfranchised.
As we acknowledge and re-establish the links between Self, Sexuality, Society and Spirituality we
empower ourselves and young people to offer our
bodies—in fact, our whole lives—to God as a living sacrifice.

VESTRY HIGHLIGHTS—December
Financial Information
a) The parish is in very good financial shape as the year closes.
With five Sundays in November, our pledge income for November was over budget and although our income from other sources was under budget, our total income for November was
significantly over our budgeted monthly income. Our expenses for November were somewhat
below our budgeted expenses. This brings our year-to-date income and expenses to $763,892
and $761,315, respectively, for a net surplus of $2,577. See the Treasurer’s Report for more detailed information.
b) Annual Pledge Campaign
As of December 17th, we had 230 pledges totaling $680,000. There were 59 pledging units from
2014 that had not yet pledged. The stewardship committee has had some communication to
most of those and 12 have made verbal commitments. Another 12-15 pledges are expected to
come in. If you have not yet submitted your pledge, please do so as quickly as possible.
c) Endowment Board: New Members Approval
Susan Johnson, Ed Willingham, and Joel Kunkler were elected for three-year terms.
