A few years ago in a national Episcopal newspaper, I read an articleby a priest who, for a number of years, worked at Trinity Church, WallStreet in New York City. (Just as an aside, it’s the same church that is cen-tral to the plot in the movie National Treasure). There, on Ash Wednesday,a number of clergy take turns standing all day just inside the doors of thechurch because all day literally hundreds of people line up to “get theirashes.”
There is, of course, no liturgical response on the part of the one onwhom the ashes are imposed. The priest simply speaks the line,“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return,” imposing across of ashes on the recipient’s forehead as the words are spoken. But inher article, the priest wrote that any number of people would say “thankyou” after she had imposed the ashes. She thought “thank you” seemedan odd response to being told they were going to die. (Nancy Roth, EpiscopalLife, February 2001) I’m not so sure that it is such an odd response becausemuch lies beneath the outward imposition of ashes, much for which we canindeed be thankful.
The ashes are a sign of our mortality. We are not immortal, butwere created and given life as God’s good gift to us. And through Christ’slife, death and resurrection, we are given the gift of eternal life. To be re-minded that our life here and hereafter is a gift allows us to live in gratitude.
The ashes are a sign of penitence, an acknowledgment of our sins.But the point isn’t to remind us of our sins and leave us there to beat our-selves up. Nor is it a call for us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.Rather, penitence is possible because we trust in the forgiveness of Godand, through penitence, we move – by grace – beyond our sins into a newand different life. As one writer has pointed out, our failure to acknowledgeour sins will weaken our understanding of grace “because the full impact offorgiveness cannot be felt apart from the full impact of what has been for-given.” (Barbara Brown Taylor, Speaking of Sin, pp. 5-6)
Ash Wednesday, which this year falls on March 1st, begins the sea-son of Lent, a season in the Church Year that is about neither self-flagellation nor self-improvement. It’s about learning to live in gratitude forthe gifts we’ve been given. It’s about acknowledging our sins so we canalso rejoice in God’s gift of forgiveness and new life in Christ. For while thisLenten journey beings in ashes and sets us on a path that leads to a deathon Golgotha, it also takes us beyond the cross, to a garden bursting withlife, a life that not even sin and death can take away. In that lies our faith.In that lies the love and grace of God. And for a ritual of ashes which callsall this to mind, we can indeed say “thank you.”

HYMN-A-THON
For a little variety this year, whatused to be called the Psalm-a-thon,was changed this year to the Hymn-a-thon. Much like a Walk-a-thon,all choristers were encouraged togather pledges from family andfriends then participate by singingmost or all of the 720 hymns in theHymnal found in the pews of thechurch.
About 20 choristers attended thetwo day event and made it through
by singing all of the hymns played by choirmaster Drew Cantrill. His only break at thepiano during the 2 days was when relief pianist Catherine Kiersz played for about 50 ofthe songs. Even then he sang with the kids encouraging them to continue during thesecond day. Choir mother Nancy Stecker also participated as did Ward Hamlin whowas sitting in for his daughter Emma.
Variety is the spice of life and it could be heard with singing songs in rounds, soloists,boys then the girls and even audience participation.
Thanks to thevarious parentswho sat for aspell to listen, tothe crew whoprovided aterrific dinner onFriday evening,to KarenGorham forpreparing andsupervisinglunch. And lastbut not least tocoordinators –Marcy Zicari andDonna Kierszfor all their hardwork. It was agreat success.

EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT
If You Choose, You Can
A leper came to Jesus begging him, and kneeling he said to him, "If you choose, you can makeme clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "Ido choose. Be made clean!"Mark 1:40-41
What the man with leprosy said to the Son of God, is true for us as well, ordinary men andwomen that we are: If you choose, you can. We are not Jesus, all of us can bring healing into abad situation -- if we choose to do so.
The people of St. James Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge, Mississippi already knew that theycould do a lot -- St. James is a wealthy church. Immediately upon the arrival of thousands ofevacuees and displaced families, parishioners found the second part of the capacity to heal:desire. If you choose, you can. With their considerable ability and their strong desire, they setabout the task of welcoming and healing in a variety of ways.
An imaginative tic-tac-toe to redeploy some of St. James' office space, and both the Bishop ofLouisiana and the Dean of the Cathedral in New Orleans had a place for their staffs to work.The day school found room for another 100 elementary school pupils by thinking outside thebox a bit -- St. James famous choir found itself sharing its space daily with a class of school-children, kid's drawings and workbooks appearing among the sheet music.
Coffee, tea, comfortable chairs, Internet access, television -- and, above all -- showers: thewhole first floor of St. James office building became a respite center. Rescue workers in themorning, moms with brand-new babies in the evening -- a cadre of volunteers came each nightjust rock the babies while their mothers showered, and then to talk quietly with the women af-terward. Soon the school dietitian added a hot breakfast for the moms, delivered by volunteersto First Baptist across the street, where the moms and their babies spent the nights.
"I'm so proud of our church," the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans said on arecent visit to New York. 'Of all of it -- ERD, all those parishes, all the people from all over theChurch. Of all the organizations involved in this, the Church has helped the most."
St. James parishioners described the work they were doing as a blessing -- and they meant itwas a blessing for them. The desire to be part of a great healing flooded their hearts and hasstayed there, finding more and more ways to heal as they remain among those who have losteverything. We can be part of it too, even if we don't live in the stricken Gulf Coast region;we're part of it now, through our support with ERD. All we have to do is want to help, and Godwill show us what to do. If you choose, you can.

Vestry HighlightsFebruary 21, 2006
Dean Spangler opened the meeting with a prayer. Treasurer Gilbert Hernandez up-dated the Vestry on the status of the transition to new accounting software saying thatthere are still adjustments being made with the expectation that the Vestry will receivesuccinct financial reports at its monthly meetings.
The Vestry reviewed the goals established at its February retreat and Dean Spanglerencouraged Vestry members assigned to specific goals to begin working toward meas-urable outcomes.
The Vestry discussed at length its use of 4 Cathedral Park and resolved to form twoTask Forces, one to be chaired by Kara Schwabel to explore outreach uses and theother to determine costs of renovation and relocation of parish offices to this buildingas well as ascertain current market value of 128 Pearl Street.
The Vestry unanimously voted to accept a generous donation of office furniture fromthe Hunt organization currently renting two floors of 4 Cathedral Park. Their lease willend in April of this year.
Dean Spangler told the Vestry that the expected $339,000 Balduf bequest had beenreceived and the Vestry resolved to retain these funds in a short-term liquid accountuntil the Vestry determined how this gift would be used.
Dean Spangler told the Vestry that the girls’ choir would be purchasing new surplicesfor the summer tour and that the Choir Association will absorb expenses for thispurchase over and above the budgeted amount.
The Dean told the Vestry that Drew Cantrill would like to apply for his green card andthat she hoped that St. Paul’s would assist him in this process.
On a final and bittersweet note, Dean Spangler shared a letter from Canon Cole withthe Vestry stating that he intends to pursue his “great passion of studying ChristianTheology” by beginning a doctoral degree program in Historical Theology at the Catho-lic University of America in Washington, DC at the start of the next academic year. Hislast day with us will be July 30th. He thanked Dean Spangler for her invitation torenew his letter of agreement with St. Paul’s but believes this is the right time for him toreturn to school. He joked that if he didn’t do it soon, he might forget all the Greek helearned in college.
The Vestry closed the meeting with Compline.
