The Three Faces of Evil
For our St. Valentine’s Day date, Anne and I went to the Academy of Music in Philadelphia to see the Broadway production of The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Although we were in the nose-bleed section, we still had a wonderful view and the legendary acoustics of that fine old theatre brought tremendous immediacy to the music.
The show is based on the folk opera of the same name, which was in turn an adaptation of the novel and play Porgy. George Gershwin com-posed the music, the lyrics written by his brother Ira and DuBose Hayward, who authored the original book. All three works were based on the lives of African Americans from the Sea Islands of South Carolina who were living in Charleston on the fictional Catfish Row. The show opened in 1935.
Creating Porgy and Bess was a gutsy move for the Gershwins. In its original form it is a sprawling opera for the stage with a run length of over four hours. The cast was entirely African American in a still very racist and segregated America. It ran for 124 performances on the Great White Way and then went on the road. Yet it struggled for acceptance, being too operatic for Broadway, too low-brow for the opera house, too black for many whites and blacks felt it contained unflattering racial stereotypes. However it continued to live through songs such as ‘Summertime’, ‘It ain’t necessarily so’, and ‘I got plenty of nuthin’’.
In the late 1970s, opera houses began to revive it to great acclaim. But only in the 21st century were attempts made to bring the show back to

the Broadway stage, and the recent performance in Philadelphia (adapted by Suzan-Lori Parks and Diedre Murray) has proven to be the most successful. It is shorter than the original, and according to critic Hilton Als in The New Yorker magazine this version succeeds in "humanizing the depiction of race onstage.”
Porgy and Bess is a love story between the two title characters. Porgy is a crippled beggar who makes his living on the streets of Charleston. When we meet Bess, she is in an abusive relationship with a stevedore named Crown. She is a drug addict, having been hooked on ‘happy dust’ through a previous relationship with a pusher and hustler nicknamed Sportin’ Life. When Crown kills a neighbor in a fight over a disputed game of craps, he flees, and Porgy takes Bess in. Bess manages to get off drugs through the love of Porgy and with the support of the women on Catfish Row.. Crown, on the run, kidnaps Bess from a picnic, beating her in the process, but she manages to escape and return to Porgy. Following a devas-tating hurricane, Crown returns and in a fight Porgy kills him. Porgy is arrested, and Sportin’ Life moves in, tempting Bess with drugs and the offer to take her to the bright lights and fancy clothes of New York City. With Porgy in jail, she accepts his offer. When Porgy is released he finds Bess gone, and on his crutches leaves his neighbors and heads off to follow and find his love.
While I’ve known the operatic version of the work for years, one thing in this new production caught my attention in a new way: the three faces of evil shown in the story. One blatant, one subtle and one invisible.
Crown is clearly and evil man. He is very strong as a result of his work on the docks, and he uses brute force to get his way, beating Bess, stabbing his neighbor and battering down a door during the hurricane to get access to shelter. Those who know him are petrified of him. People in the audience actually applauded when he died! Sadly, by using violence, Porgy is arrested for the crime, his own hands sullied by murder, and setting up Bess’ seduction by Sportin’ Life.
Sportin’ Life is a pimp and a pusher. He is flashy, smooth talking and always awash in cash, booze (the show takes place during Prohibition) and drugs. He knows as author William Burroughs points out (as quoted in the New York Times), “The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.” And Sportin’ Life as tempter uses this subtle technique to successfully convince Bess to come with him. He is the subtle salesman of evil: cool, calm, consistent and persistent. Where Crown’s brute force failed, Sportin’ Life’s subtlety succeeded.
Crown’s evil was easy to spot, and difficult to fight. Like all bullies, be they in the playground or politics, those who have physical or dictatorial power make resistance difficult. Jesus himself couldn’t physically overcome
Page 3
the forces arrayed against him during that first Holy Week. Only the omnipotent power of God’s love can provide the strength and courage to persevere until the opportunity arises to overturn that evil. Sportin’ Life’s methods are more difficult to spot – he’s a tempter like Eve encountered in the Garden and Jesus in the wilderness. Often there is enough truth in the message to make it plausible, but the design is evil, and destruction the purpose. But we have been given the truth and nothing but the truth from the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Hence, two faces of evil. The third is indifference. The community around Catfish Row could not have cared less about the misery, poverty and despair in which their neighbors lived, and enabled the other two faces of evil to live, grow, and thrive. As the 18th century British jurist Edmund Burke is credited as saying, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” To be a bystander to evil whether brutal or subtle is to collude with it, and in turn, be swallowed by it. The German pastor Martin Niemöller discovered this to his chagrin. A hero of submarine warfare during World War I, Niemöller was afterwards ordained a Lutheran pastor, and served in churches in his homeland through the tumultuous 1920s and 30s. He eventually opposed the Nazis, was arrested and placed in a concen-tration camp. He was scheduled to be executed, but was saved as a result of American forces occupying the camp before the order was carried out. Afterwards, Niemöller reflected,
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a communist; Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a socialist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak out.
As Martin Luther himself reminded us in his greatest hymn ‘A mighty fortress is our God’, “And though this world with devils filled, should threat-en to undo us” evil is all around and ever present. Yet, “we have the right man on our side … [and] God hath willed his truth to triumph through us”. We are equipped with “the Spirit and the gifts” and we can confront each face of evil with the knowledge that “God’s truth abideth still” – indeed abideth in us through the one who defeated the world, the flesh and devil. In the face of Jesus, each face of evil is sent faceless into the void and through his victory we triumph over every evil. Take that, Sportin’ Life! The Revd. Richard C. Wrede, Rector

Daffodil hope
In Lisa Genova’s novel Love Anthony, Olivia lives on Nantucket Island, where
winter is long but daffodils bloom even while it’s still cold. In one scene, she
watches the flowers “shivering in the wind, impossibly bright and fragile and
brave against the cold grayness.”
Struggling with deep grief, Olivia finds hope in the bright yellow blooms after
a long, bleak winter. She embraces the daffodil as a sign that summer will
come again — and that “life will return to her as well.”
In Christ, God gives us hope that sometimes appears vibrant against the gray-
ness of earthly life. We cling to it because we’ve seen the promise made good
before — winter yielding to summer, a new beginning granted — and we trust
that new life will return to us, as well.

Wedding Anniversaries in April Wedding Rings The exchange of wedding rings isn't found in Scripture. It came into practice among Christians in the late ninth century. The unending circle profoundly symbolizes a couple's mutual promises of ongoing love and commitment, as well as God's promise of eternal love that surrounds all — including each couple and marriage.
“O God, send your blessing upon these your servants, that they may so love, honor and cherish each other in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness . . .” Amen.

The peacock's symbolism
supposedly more beautiful ones led to use of the peacock as a sign of resurrec-
tion and glorification. Additionally, the eye-like pattern in the peacock’s tail feathers made it a
symbol of conscience and of God, who sees all. However, the peacock also
represents arrogance as it struts to show off its plumage. During the Baroque
period, the peacock was often part of artwork at the 10th Station of the Cross,
depicting Jesus stripped of his clothing—atoning, according to some teachings,
specifically for our sin of vanity. Early Christians believed peacocks shriek when they catch sight of their feet,
which they consider ugly. Christians took this as a reminder that we, too,
should lament our spiritual imperfections that detract from the beauty of life
In April the Palms and Palm Crosses are given to the glory of God and placed at the altar in loving memory of:
With hope in the resurrection of Christ Jesus
May the souls of the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

PLEASE DONATE
Once again we have the opportunity to donate warm Clothes and blankets, including
coats, knit hats, gloves, sweat shirts and pants, sweaters, warm socks, and sneakers. They will be
transported to the homeless and needy in Camden throughout the winter. A collection Box is in the Parish House outside Joyce's office appropriately
marked. If you would like your donation picked up, please call Ron Pollock. Our brothers and sisters in Camden have great needs, and
we frequently have more than we need or can use; it is just a matter of transporting from here to there. Believe me, they greatly appreciate your
generosity. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS The last "pick-up" of warm clothes and blankets for the homeless and less fortunate in Camden will be Thursday, April 10. After that date, please save these items for next winter when the program will resume. Thanks for your generous contributions: you TRULY helped those in need.

The perks of giving
Although National Volunteer Week is officially observed in April, every week thousands of volunteers help people in need. As volunteers can attest, sharing one’s time and talents leads to many intangible benefits. New research shows that volunteering and giving also provide physical and emotional advantages. Givers report an improved sense of well-being, lower stress levels, better physical health, an enriched sense of purpose in life and increased happiness. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely help another without helping himself.”

2014 DIOCESAN CONVENTION
HIGHLIGHTS
We're grateful to all of you who joined us at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill on February 28 and March 1. The 230th Diocesan Convention--Bishop Stokes' first--was a hopeful, faithful gathering and exchange of ideas. To view a gallery of photographs from both days, go to: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.271827672986400.1073741842.222732037895964&type=3
Exciting developments across these two days:
Bishop Stokes opened his first Diocesan Convention with a stirring and memorable address, excerpted above. "I think it is important that we gather, share time togeth-er, enjoy fellowship and do some of the necessary work of organizing ourselves as a body," said Bishop Stokes. "We need to continue to examine, re-imagine and simplify the structures of the Diocese of New Jersey, as the larger Episcopal Church is seeking to examine, re-imagine and simplify its own structures."
The Rev. Dwight J. Zscheile, Ph.D delivered the Convention's keynote address. Zscheile, author of People of the Way: Renewing Episcopal Identity, spoke on the national state of the Episcopal faith, and challenges and changes to come in the future: "You assume that people know what church is, and where to find it, and what kind of church is the appropriate church to find. And you can hang out a sign in your neighborhood and assume it's intelligible to people. Now, I'm all for being welcoming-the alternative is much worse-and yet, we wait in our churches to welcome people...we invite people into the established life of our congregations, rather than something that is deep in our traditions-the vernacular idea. That the life of the church should be in the culture and language of the people. That's what the Pentecost is about...the Book of Common Prayer is one of the greatest examples of this idea. One of the greatest questions today is-are we inviting people to church, and thereby forcing them to leave their native culture?" To view the entire keynote
address, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0PvOd7TuXg
"It is a wondrous, exhilarating, frightening, joyous, awesome time to be the Church. We can no longer rely on a dominant Christendom model of Christianity where our place in society is assured and easy. Our times are more like those of the Apostles and the early Church. The context around us is often indifferent, sometimes hostile. Yet there is a yearning....There is a yearning for the holy....There is a yearning for the kingdom of God, even if so many don't realize what the kingdom is.
Master, it is good that we are here… Yes....But we can't stay here...The Lord has work for us to do… How grateful I am to be your bishop, to be called to take up the cross with you and to go forth at this time in this historical diocese. May God grant us grace, strength, courage and faith to bring Christ's light, Christ's transfigured, transforming, light into every corner and crevice of New Jersey and beyond. Let's get to work. Right Onward!" --From Bishop Stokes' Convention Address. To view the entire address, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbGLcJMNfc&feature=youtu.be&t=9m40s
