Continued on page 2Some of the most meaningful places we visited inthe Holy Land this past summer were churches inand around Jerusalem that are associated with Jesuslast days on earth - what we now call Holy Week. atweek begins on Palm Sunday when we recall Christ striumphal entry into Jerusalem. For many centuries, a church on the crest of theMount of Olives has marked the spot where it is be-lieved Jesus mounted the donkey to process down thesteep hill, across the Kidron valley, and into the HolyCity. I rst led a group there twenty-ve years ago,singing inside the church a song I had written just twoyears before. Its chorus recalls the fateful journey:

On the Way to Jerusalem Im asked by my Lord, Who do you say I am?

On the Way to the City of God Im questioned about Where does this highway end?

Today, we all know now the answers to those ques-tions, answers that even the disciples found hard toaccept at the time: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.But this title did not mean that his journey would endin political triumph, as Peter seemed to have in mindwhen he gave that reply (Mark 8:29 ). Rather, Je-sus revealed himself as Isaiahs Suering Servant (Isa

53:3 ), whose journey would end in crucixion and

death prior to his Resurrection, signifying a spirituatriumph both for him and for all of humanity.

is is all very apparent to pilgrims to the Mountof Olives today. For at the base of that same mountainwhere Jesus began his triumphal entry lies another

CHRISTIANEDUCATIONFrances Sessums, Director of Christian Educationchurch nestled inside the ancient Garden of Geth-

semane: the Basilica of the Agony. A large rock restsin front of the altar of that church, marking the spot

where it is believed that Jesus prayed in such anguishthat his sweat became as drops of blood falling to theground (Luke 22:44).

It was there that Judas met him and betrayed himto the soldiers. From that spot, Jesus retraced the samepath he had taken only a few days earlier - only thistime he was not riding on the back of a donkey in themorning sun, but being pulled along by chains in thedead of night.

Yet a third church stands atop the spot where itis believed Jesus spent that night: in the dungeon of

Caiaphus palace. e crypt of that church on Mt.Zion contains pillars where prisoners were chained, aswell as a maximum security cell into which they werelowered by a rope. In the darkness of this pit is whereit is believed Jesus spent the last night of his earthlylife.

Several more churches inside Jerusalems OldCity mark the stops along Jesus nal journey. eseare stationed along the Via Dolorosa, where bands ofpilgrims can be seen processing daily. Tey concludetheir journeys inside the ancient Church of the HolySepulcher, which contains both the Rock of Calvaryand the site of the Empty Tomb. To reach beneath thealtar to touch that Rock, and to go inside the Sepul-cher to kneel at the burial spot are two of the mostmoving experiences any Christian can have. While not all Christians are able to journey to theHoly Land to visit these sacred sites, each year ourHoly Week liturgies recall these foundational eventsof our faith: from the procession of Palm Sunday, tothe stripping of the altar and vigil of Maundy urs-

day, to the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday - allculminating, of course, in our joyous celebrations ofEaster morn. I hope that this year as many of you as possible(and the neighbors you have invited) may join in thisvirtual pilgrimage of our Holy Week and Easter lit-urgies, letting both the tragedies and the triumphs ofthese events in our Lords life sink deeply into yoursouls. I think you will nd this pilgrimage both in-wardly convicting and life-renewing, resulting in acloser walk with the Risen Lord.

Te ReverendDr. Ruth E. Correll, Ed.D.

THEPASCHALMYSTERY In elementary school, I read every mystery in thechildrens section of the public library near our home.

e story often took place during summer vacationwhen kids had tons of time to explore unhindered amountain cave, a vacant house, the woods, or the beach.One never knew where a buried treasure or an unsolvedcrime or an urgent situation might suddenly show up.An element of suspense, a bit of danger, the detectionof a signicant clue, and a problem solved in the nick

of time made mysteries a delight to relish. e endingstied up any strings left dangling. e good guys won theday; the culprits came to justice; and the hero(es) endedup safe and sound. Mystery solved. When I closed thebook with a sigh, I felt empowered for any opportunityto investigate a mystery on my turf.

Sometime around the eighth grade, readers couldgain entrance to the library shelves for adults, a transi-tion I eagerly anticipated. I remember the rst time Isearched the adult ction shelves for the word mys-tery in a title. I found one and took it out. What a huge

disappointment! e pages unfolded a vapid sexual en-counter followed by a violent death, boring and abhor-rent, respectively. I did not realize the wholesomeness ofthe childrens section until I read my rst adult mystery.I did not read an adult mystery again until graduateschool when someone introduced me to detective LordPeter Wimsey, the handsome and brilliant creation ofDorothy L. Sayers. at broke the ice. I regretted judg-ing all adult mysteries by one quite mediocre sample.

e childrens version of Sherlock Holmes mysteriesled me to the adult originals. en G.K. Chestertons

short stories featuring a priest detective fascinated me.e spiritual condition of adult psyches oered rivetingmysteries to be solved by the insightful Father Brown. So what is the dierence between these mysteriesand the Paschal Mystery? e dierence is that themystery of the Christian story is revealed rather thansolved. e human condition cannot be solved by hu-mans. e Paschal Mystery is the story of divine inter-

vention to free humanity from enslavement to diseaseof the soul leading to death. Into this mess came theGreat Detective in person. He revealed true deliver-

ance. When the Great Detective shed his own bloodand people spread that blood on the lintels and door-posts of their hearts, the angel of death passes over(Passover/Paschal) that heart to give freedom and eter-nal life. Why should I believe that story? e revealed

solution is the death, Resurrection, and Ascension toheaven of the Great Detective who says, I am the Waythe Truth, and the Life. Come, follow me.

e Paschal Mystery is better than the best ele-ments of the mystery stories for childhood and adult-hood. It provides for the most boring and abhorrentsordid sorties spiritually sombulent psyches can sum-mon up; i.e. sin. And, yes, the good guy wins the dayat just the right time in history. However, there are stilsome strings left dangling. We are empowered to tiethem up in our lives and settings through the help of

the risen Great Detective. e Holy Spirit wakes us upto respond to the call to be characters in the unfold-ing Paschal Mystery of Gods grace. rough thick andthin, the abiding hope is the certainty that the enemy

will nally and justly be defeated, and the faithful shallend up safe and sound.

12 HabiTsof

HIGHLYHEALTHYPEOPLE Here is a chance to get healthier at an individualpace, when it ts the schedule, and at a level of par-ticipation that ts distinct lifestyles. It is modeled ona program for Mayo Clinic employees. e 12 habitsare: 1. Physical activity

2. Forgiveness3. Portion size4. Preventive healthcare screening

5. Adequate sleep6. Try something new7. Strength and exibility8. Laugh9. Family and friends10. Address addictive behaviors11. Quiet the mind12. Gratitude

Habit 1: Physical activity

Exercise and physical activity are always bene-cial and it is a fun way to spend time - a chance tounwind, to be outdoors, to get social, or to simply dosomething that increases happiness. Find an enjoyablephysical activity and do it every day. Better yet, nd two or more types of activity to doto prevent boredom and overuse injuries. Make surethe activity is appropriate for age and tness level.

Start with a warm up and end with cool down. In-crease time and intensity gradually. Consider exercis-ing with a committed friend or involve the family.

A good general goal is to get at least 30 minutesof physical activity daily. To lose weight or increase

tness level, it may require more exercise or exercise ata higher intensity. Bottom line, all movement countsnot just exercise.Opportunities to explore: Be active throughout the day. Take the stairsrather than the elevator, change a meeting into awalking meeting, or consider a portable stepping orpedaling device that ts at a workstation. Include a10-15 minute walk at lunch hour.

Take a break from sitting. Try standing, stretch-ing or walking for a minimum of 5-10 minutes every

hour while at work or sitting at home. Activate a passion for food. Take up gardening

start walking to and from the grocery store, or explorea local farmers market. ese are fun ways be moreactive and explore new foods.

Move more, snack less. Instead of snacking fromboredom, go for a walk, dance or try an exercise video

Pick up an activity monitor. A pedometer is asimple tool to track daily steps. ere are also othertypes of activity monitors, such as Gruve and Fitbit

Any of them can be a great tool to check baseline ac-tivity level and encourage more movement. Make leisure time active time. Instead of watch-

ing television, go bowling or play an active video game Check out whats happening in the community

Perhaps there are community tness classes at locaparks, schools or gyms

UPDATEONISSUESINTHEANGLICANCOMMUNIONDon Brownlee

Tis monthly report is part of the Vestrys ongoing effort to in-form and update the Parish about the ongoing controversies withine Episcopal Church (TEC) and the Anglican Communion. esecontroversies largely involve the blessing of same-sex unions, or-dination of non-celibate homosexuals, interpretation of Scripture,and breakdown of traditional boundary lines between Provinces.

e Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, whichvoted in December 2012 to disassociate from e Epis-copal Church, voted in mid-March to join the GlobalFellowship of Confessing Anglicans, or GAFCON, andtemporarily accept primatial oversight from bishops ofthe Global South.

In February, the Global South primates voted to es-tablish a Primatial Oversight Council, to provide pas-toral and primatial oversight to dissenting individuals,parishes, and dioceses in order to keep them within theCommunion. Alternative Primatial Oversight meanssome bishop, province or group other than ones tra-ditional bishop or province is providing ecclesiasticaloversight to a parish or diocese. e votes came during the dioceses annual conven-tion.

Bp. Mark Lawrence said the new relationship, whilebringing a mutual responsibility in the Gospel, commitsus to neither a hasty aliation nor alleviates our need tocontinue the work of ongoing discernment for a morepermanent provincial relationship. e resolution said that in this period of uidity inthe Anglican Communion we reserve the right to re-

visit this decision, as a convention, should it be neces-sary during this temporary discernment period, howeverlong it may last. A task force is being created to explore permanentoptions for aliation. us far he and his diocese have declined to ali-

ate with the Anglican Church in North America, orACNA. ACNA describes itself as an Anglican prov-ince in formation, and many of the Northern Virginiacongregations which left e Episcopal Church are nowpart of ACNA. A statement on the dioceses web site said Whilethe Diocese has maintained many informal relation-ships with organizations that are part of the commu-nion, this formal primatial oversight arrangement makesclear that the Diocese is ocially part of the greater An-glican Church.

Organizations within the Anglian Communion

generally do not use the term Anglican Church, as ithas signicantly dierent theological implications than

the term Anglican Communion. Neither GAFCONnor the Global South Primates have any ocial stand-ing within the Anglican Communion, and are in factthreatening to break away from it over these same theo-logical issues.

* * * e Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina referredto above, and the Episcopal Church in South Caro-lina, which is rebuilding a diocese of e EpiscopaChurch in the state, are continuing their legal struggleover which indeed is the Episcopal diocese there, and

which owns properties. Property cases in Texas also arecontinuing. However, it now appears the property casesin Virginia have come to an end. On March 10th, theU.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case involving

e Falls Church. Falls Church Anglican, which votedalong with several other parishes in 2006 to leave theDiocese of Virginia, had appealed state court rulingsthat awarded all property and assets to the diocese. ediocese and departing parishes had previously settled allother property cases. Bp. Shannon said in a letter to the diocese that the

ruling means e Falls Church Episcopal is free to con-tinue to worship and grow in its home church build-ings.Although today marks an ocial and much an-ticipated end to the litigation, it also marks a beginning

We will now be able to focus fully our attentions on themany truly exciting ministries all over our Diocese. Ipray that those in the CANA congregations will join usin turning this fresh page.Elsewhere: e Archbishop of Canterbury will join the list ofspeakers at an Episcopal Church gathering called Re-

claiming the Gospel of Peace: An Episcopal Gatheringto Challenge the Epidemic of Violence. e event willbe held April 9th through 11th in Oklahoma City. Abp

Justin and Presiding Bishop Katharine Jeerts Schorwill hold a joint news conference. He had previously an-nounced plans to meet with Bp. Katharine during thegathering as part of his plan to meet with the primatesof all members of the Anglican Communion during hisrst year in oce.

Previous columns have noted the controversy sur-rounding Abp. Justins decision to name the Rev. Tory

Baucum, rector of Truro Anglican Church in Fairfax,to a prestigious preaching position at Canterbury Ca-thedral. A similar controversy now has erupted in thiscountry over an invitation by retired bishop EdwardSalmon, dean of Nashtoah House seminary in Wiscon-sin, to invite Bp. Katharine to visit and preach there inMay.

Nashtoah House has a reputation for being moretheologically conservative than other seminaries in theU.S, and a number of prominent theological conserva-tives, including Bp. Lawrence, serve on its board of di-

rectors. At least one of them, Bp. Jack Iker of the Dio-cese of Ft. Worth, resigned to protest the invitation. Asnoted above, Bp. Ikers diocese remains in a legal battle

with e Episcopal Church over property issues, and hesaid he could not be associated with an institution thathonors her. Bp. Salmon said in a video statement that he invitedher at the request of several Episcopal seminarians study-ing there. According to Bp. Salmon, Bp. Katharine hadadvised them not to enroll there because of NashtoahHouses conservative theological bent, and they wanted

her to see [for herself] who we are and what we are.He stressed the invitation does not mean we are takinga stance with her on certain [theological] positions. Ex-actly the opposite is true. She is being invited here so theseminary can witness to her that Nashtoah House is aplace where people of many stripes are together[from]many Anglican bodiesin harmony. Jesus Christ is thecore of this group, and there is no dissention or animos-ity

She will oer the encomium homily at a memorialgathering for one of those three students, who died in

March. She also will meet in various events and venueswith Bishop Salmon, members of the faculty and ad-ministration, including an academic colloquy.

It is important to remember that despite all these controversies,the work of the Church - globally, nationally, and locally - goes on.

Te Stewardship Commission continues to carry out thatwork, and spread the good News. Pohick continues to be the onlyBible some people will ever read. Pohick continues to leak the loveof God to those in need through donations of food and clothingto LCAC, adult and youth mission trips, LCAC Backpacks drive,Community of Hope, and support parish families in times of grief.

MUSICNOTES

Linda Egan,Minister of Music In April, through the gospels of Holy Week and

Easter, we hymn our devotion to Jesus Christ, to hislife lived for us, his death died for us, and to his resur-rection for us. e gospel for the Sunday of the Passion (PalmSunday) tells the entire history of the Passion ofChrist. With him, we enter Jerusalem and shout,Hosanna to the Son of David. We hear of his be-trayal. With him, we share the Eucharist given to hisdisciples. With him, we travel to the Mount of Olives,to the Garden of Gethsemane. With him, we walk theway of the cross. We see his crucixion, his death, his

burial. Each year on this Sunday, we have sung as the nalhymn, O sacred head, sore wounded. is text, withits familiar German chorale tune, is considered bymany to be the quintessential hymn for Holy Week.Singing it, we are able to express a deeply personal andspiritual identication with the passion of Christ. e text may be as old as the 13th century, possi-bly written by Arnulf of Louvain (c1200-c1250). It isthe last part of a seven part devotional poem, in whichthe types of salvation are related to parts of Jesus bodyas he hung on the cross: the salvation of the world tothe feet; the king of heaven to the knees; the goodshepherd to the hands.

e Latin text was freely translated into Germanby Paul Gerhardt and published in 1656. Stanza 4,What language shall I borrow, was translated into

English by James Waddell Alexander from that sourceand published in 1831.

But it was Robert Bridges who paraphrased theoriginal Latin text to create the present form of theother stanzas, publishing it in 1899. He created the

English metre to accommodate the German tune al-ready associated with Gerhardts translation. We singthis tune in J. S. Bachs harmonization and rhythmicform at hymn 168. You can see the 1656 harmoniza-tion and rhythm at hymn 169.

What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend,

for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end?

Oh, make me thine forever! and should I fainting be,

Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love for thee. And then, the following Sunday, our alleluias re-turn. We sing Jesus Christ is risen today, not withone alleluia per stanza, but with four! We are called tolive joyfully, because Jesus is alive, forever. is amaz-ing text, with all of its alleluias, probably dates to theearly 14th century. It likewise was translated from theLatin into German, appearing in Breslau in 1478. ecurrent version appeared in Lyra Davidica, in 1708a collection which published translations of German

hymns for English use. Charles Wesley added stan-za 4, a doxology, in 1740. e hymn has appeared inEpiscopal hymnals since 1865. Sing we to our God above, Alleluia! praise eternal as his love, Alleluia!

praise him, all ye heavenly host, Alleluia! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!
