Thameside Thinking
June & July 2015 The Magazine of Christ Episcopal Church Norwich, Connecticut
From the Rector Dear Friends, First of all I want to thank everyone who sent me cards, greetings, and best wishes during my illness. Having pneumonia was quite a shock to me, as I had never appreciated just how debilitating it can be. I am of course grateful to the Rev’d Jane Stickley, and all the various parishioners, who filled in for me at very short notice. Holy Week and Easter is probably the most inconvenient time of the year for a priest to be ill. I believe it is the first time that I haven’t been in church on Easter Day since 1975, when I was on a greyhound bus travelling from New Orleans to Hartford, CT. As I write this we are approaching Trinity Sunday. It’s a day that causes consternation to some preachers. The wording of any definition of the Trinity is so carefully balanced that it’s almost impossible to explain it without slipping unawares into some obscure heresy. I remember one colleague, who was a curate in Cambridge, England telling me of her anxiety that she had to preach at one of the city centre churches on Trinity Sunday. She knew that there would be at least two Professors of Divinity in the congregation, along with other members of the Cambridge theological faculty. Afterwards I thought I should have reminded her that it was not for their benefit alone that she preached but for the whole of the congregation, and that the sermon would need to be accessible to those who had no training in the subtleties of theological language. Like all preaching, a sermon on the Trinity has to relate belief to the lives we live day by day. Part of my sermon preparation is to look well in advance at books on the readings selected for each Sunday. I have just put one down that claimed to relate the readings to issues of social justice. I read the commentary for Trinity Sunday three times and I still have no idea what the author is talking about, but it is very carefully written. So the question for me is, “What difference does our believing in God as Trinity make to us on a day to day basis?” The word “Trinity” does not appear anywhere in the Bible. It is a concept developed in the early centuries of the christian church to describe the way christians experience God. It may seem an obvious thing to say, but theological language about God did not emerge from the minds of clever people, who dreamt up an idea. Rather, it comes from ordinary people engaging
with God and trying to describe their experiences in words. And the trinity describes a community of persons in a constant relationship of love with one another and maintaining a consistent unity within those relationships. But more than that, that unity embraces everyone else and draw them into the life of the trinity. Our life as christians together is to model and re-create the life of the trinity and proclaim it to the world around us. And so this doctrine compels us to be constantly aware of our relationships with one another and the motives behind what we do. Do, for example, our outreach activities effectively model the love that God wishes to proclaim to those we serve? With all best wishes, Hugh James
Where in the Church?
Do you know where in the church this picture hangs? The answer is at
the end of this
newsletter.
In 2015, a 17th Century German-Italian Convo
Entwining Keys, Wires, And Wooden Pipes By Janet Koch
It wasn't at all like "Dueling Banjos" in the movie "Deliverance,"
which all boomers know was really a duel between a banjo and a
guitar.
It wasn't even "Dueling Organ and Harpsichord" - it was much too
elegant for that.
It was point-counterpoint-pause-point-counterpoint-pause all the
way on the Sunday afternoon of April 26 when Princeton University
organist Gavin Black and our Jesse Nathan Glaude (on Black's
harpsichord) performed alternating works of Frescobaldi and
Froberger for a full-chapel crowd that included Norwich's lady
mayor, lady state senator - and the man who had just built the
extraordinary little blond-wood "continuo" organ.
Before we all staggered home full of Jennifer and Gregory Johnson's
Brie and petits-fours we knew way more about the Early Baroque
era than when we came in - even the dances - courantes,
allemandes, sarabandes and gigues.
We knew that composer Johann Jakob Froberger (1616-1667) was a hearty German student of the Italian maestro
Girolamo Alessandro Frescobaldi (1583-1643) - making these two F-Men perfetto for a back-and-forth between Glaude
and Black, who was with us for his fifth appearance in Christ Church's storied Chamber Music Series.
Black was Frescobaldi on the new "Bennett/Giuttari Organo Principale" while Glaude channeled Froberger on Black's
own "Hill and Tyre Flemish single," imported from New Jersey for the occasion.
Black was absolutely presciently correct in his on-line concert notes.
"The pieces will be sort of woven together, passing back and forth from one instrument/performer/composer
combination to the other in a way that we hope will make the whole even greater than the sum of the (great enough)
parts. Frescobaldi was Froberger's teacher, so the linkage makes personal/historical sense, and we hope that … it will
make rhetorical/performance sense as well."
These two performers were serious about letting "an unbroken dialogue" flow.
Glaude warned us sternly from the get-go - "No applause until the end."
He explained that Froberger was the introverted organist from Stuttgart, someone capable of finding inspiration in the
typhoid-fever death of a Prince Ferdinand and the catastrophic stairwell fall of French lutenist Blancrocher - who actually
expired in Froberger's arms.
The harpsichord looked three times the size of the new organ, which sounded like a throaty wind instrument.
Black tantalized us with a canzone, two Kyries and a "recercar."
Glaude's reply sounded as though he were plucking golden wires, not stroking ivory keys as he commenced a
"contemplative walk," pausing to adjust a right-side key as though he were calming a panting steed.
Lower notes sprang into a sprightly courante that evoked a Spanish guitar - then a pause - then a slow, tentative,
thrilling sarabande.
Back to the organ - flute-like as Black delivered another canzone and a toccata - ripples of sustained notes.
Glaude countered with another allemande, and arpeggios in a gigue, then a complex, meandering courante that built
and rose into a melancholy sarabande.
It was like two voices singing independently, winding around each other. Suite No. 2 was a particularly poignant,
yearning saraband, followed by a rollicking jig. Then there was a tortured "tombeau" mourning Blancrocher. A
"Bergamasca" by Black bewitched us as the evening sun flooded the chapel for the finale.
The moment had arrived when we could rise and applaud, as girls presented the maestros with bouquets.
With our flutes of champagne we toasted John Bennett, the Rhode Island organ maker, and his wife, the designer of the
filagree gingerbread that graced it.
Bennett agreed with one audience member's description of any Baroque organ - "a box of recorders" - those early
wooden flutes played like whistles.
But what celestial boxes.
After Five Divine Organ Improvisations, Parish Glows With Gratitude For Glaude
By Janet Koch
What a life that Orpheus had. Born at least one-quarter "divine." Gets a gold lyre from a god. Plays and sings so sweetly that OAK TREES move to hear him better. Rescues his Argonaut buddies from siren songs. Falls in blissful love with … OK, so it goes downhill from there, but 70-plus people in the sanctuary of Christ Episcopal Church in Norwich were ready to join an Orphic cult on May 24 after one short hour of Jesse Nathan Glaude's organ riffs on five major moments in the the Greek myth of Orpheus. The improvisation started like a middle-note sunrise - clearly celebrating the birth of a boy to a Muse and a mortal king. We could hear Pan-flutes, finger-cymbals and more other-worldly instruments evoking the arrival of Apollo and a parade of trees. Then dire danger and comic tuba-like notes - maybe even a foghorn - before Orpheus comes through in a chiming battle with murderous mermaids - followed by a diminuendo sail-away. Part Four - a "planctus" - notes of foreboding that nevertheless rose to holy crescendos like the joy of lovers. Then - dismal disbelief followed by a silent-movie score evoking a fumble-around in the underworld - ascension - and more ghoulish horror. We knew what came next, and we heard it.
Dreary despair and deranged wandering. Backing away from Maenads. (At this point the pews were vibrating. An aficionado explained to me later: "That was the 32-foot" - a particularly muscular tube on the organ.) Then a river surging away with the gold lyre and the severed head that still sang. Redemption. A fade. A stop. Whew. And a standing ovation. But it wasn't over. We had a surprise for Glaude - an only slightly early commemoration of his 10 years as Director of Music Ministries. Choir member Betty Hinsch read an original poem that ended: "Life without you would indeed B flat." (Champagne corks actually popped at this moment.) Piano prodigy Nithya Prakash presented her teacher with a bouquet - and disclosed that Glaude is familiarly known as 'Mr. G." "I was too scared to call him anything else!" Rector Hugh James and Senior Warden Chris Murtha bestowed a mysterious envelope of love that had been filled by parishioners grateful for Glaude's patience, kindness and perseverance. A big bravo. Bring on the Johnsons' Ethiopian chicken and chicken-salad-crowned cucumber wheels! Ten more years!

Deanery Picnic 6:30pm Tuesday June 23 at St John’s, Niantic
This year’s Deanery Picnic will be at St John’s Church in Niantic on Tuesday June 23rd starting at 6:30pm. Burgers, hot dogs and beverages will be provided, but people attending are asked to bring either a dessert or a salad dish to share. The picnic is an enjoyable social occasion which is open to any church member from any of the churches of our deanery. It’s a great way to meet people from some of our neighboring churches. The picnic will be preceded by the regular monthly Deanery Meeting of parish representatives which will start at 6:00pm. Traditionally this meeting deals only with essentials to ensure that we finish in time for the picnic!
Morning Prayer Tuesday Morning Prayer Service: Join Us! Those of us that support the Morning Prayer program on Tuesday fulfill an important part of our Church's life. In the process of conducting the service we prepare to pray for the needs of the congregation. Beyond the list of Church leaders and Churches both near and far we pray for members of our congregation and those they care for. There is no great secret in doing this and being effective but our numbers are few and so we are inviting anyone to join us and add to our voices. There is ample evidence that prayer works and by increasing the voices there is a greater chance that we will be heard. The service starts in the chapel promptly at 9:00 and lasts about 30 minutes and includes three Hymns. About once a month a Holy Eucharist will be included to honor men and women that have served the faith since its earliest years. Following the service we have coffee and tea in the Pine Room and we try to bring ourselves up to date on those we pray for or those we may visit.
J.C. Club (Youth Group)
The J. C. Club, Christ Episcopal Church’s Youth Group, has been meeting since January 2015 under the leadership of parishioners Jourdan Johnson and Mary Elizabeth Lang, both of whom come to this ministry with previous experience of working with adolescents. The new leaders have received excellent input and assistance from Steve Kimball and Phil Björnberg. We meet on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 8:45 AM, after the 8 o’clock service, during the school year. The last regular Sunday meetings for this spring are May 24 and June 14, but other activities are being planned for the summer. The J. C. Club is a youth-centered club, in which the members have chosen their own name and planned activities in three basic areas: spiritual growth, social service, and social activities. The age range of the members is 13 to 17 years old. The role of the adult advisers is to assist the teens in accomplishing the goals they have set for themselves.
The youth have set two basic social service ministries for this year, and these are to visit shut-ins and help feed the hungry in Norwich. We are working with people inside and outside the parish to find ways to help them launch these ministries. Individually, the teens have also come to help with several parish events. Some of them are serving as acolytes at the altar on Sundays, and assisting with the children’s Funday Club. In the area of spiritual growth, the youth asked to learn more about the Old Testament and about forms of prayer and meditation. Jourdan and Mary Elizabeth have begun a Bible study with them, centering on stories in the Old Testament and how they show the evolving relationship between God and the people of the Covenant, and we also are helping them understand more about prayer and meditation. Also, a group of them are holding a bake sale May 30th so that they can raise money to repair the playscape on our church property. The J. C. Club has already held its first social activity, a Game Night in the Pine Room. It was great fun playing new and traditional board games and enjoying snacks. The members who missed it were disappointed, so we are planning to have another Game Night during the summer. Also planned are a picnic and campfire at one of the leaders’ homes.
Yard Sale
Many thanks to all those who have worked so hard for our Yard Sale and luncheon on May 30th. This sale will benefit our Food Pantry. And thank you to those who donated items for sale. This issue is being printed before the sale takes place and the money raised will be announced in the next issue. Some of our youth have been busy preparing to run a stall at that sale selling lemonade and baked goods. The proceeds of that stall will go towards repairing the playground by the Pine Room Entrance to the Church. Many thanks to Gabby and Ariana for organising this on their own initiative, and obtaining donations for this stall from local businesses.
Funday Club The Funday Club is for the under 13s and meets during the 10am service, except when it is a Family (or All-Age) Eucharist. They normally leave after the gospel reading. During their sessions they study Christianity and do art and craft activities which reinforce the learning and enable them to have something to take home and share with their families. When we move to the Summer Schedule on June 21st, the Club will take a break since it will be the school vacation, and re-start in September after the Parish Picnic. On Saturday June 6th our Rector, Hugh James, will be leading a training session in the Pine Room for the Funday Club Leaders. For those who don’t know, Hugh spent 8 years (1984-1992) as the National Youth and Children’s Officer for the Church in Wales. During that time he was responsible for developing and implementing a training scheme for Sunday School teachers throughout Wales. That course led to successful candidates being awarded the Archbishop of Wales’ Certificate in Sunday School Teaching. So Hugh will be drawing on his experience during this day. Cathy Cosby will also be sharing some of her expertise in leading discussion on how best to cope with children who have behavioral problems.
Christ Episcopal Church Food Pantry New Hours 11:45am To 1:00pm
Schedule For June & July: June 5 Closed July 3 Closed June 12 Open July 10 Open June 19 Open July 17 Open June 26 Open July 24 Open July 31 Open Your donations are very much needed and appreciated. Please no expired items. Thank You.
Craft Group The craft group will take a break for the summer, but occasionally may be meeting at Debbie Kimball’s house where it is cooler.
Summer Schedule @ CEC Starting Saturday June 20, 2015
Saturday Evenings @ 5:00pm
Contemplative Eucharist in the Chapel This service is an experiment. Following several suggestions over recent years we have decided to see whether or not a service at this time will attract worshippers. It will be a more informal service than we are used to at CEC. There will be no scheduled acolytes or readers. Those roles will be decided upon spontaneously before the service starts. The liturgy will be said, and will be simpler than usual, following “An Order for Celebrating the Holy Eucharist” on pages 400 and 401 of the Prayer Book. There will be periods of silence for meditation and reflection. There will not normally be a sermon, but there might be guidance and discussion on how to
meditate. Depending on the feedback from those who attend we might vary the format, and at the end of the Summer, we will review it. We will be asking question such as the following: Is there a call for this type of
service? Would people value a regular service on Saturday evenings throughout the year? Has the service met the requests for a more meditative style of worship?
Sunday Mornings @ 8:00am Holy Eucharist in the Chapel
This service will be in the same style as the 8:00am service throughout the rest of the year: a simple said Rite 2 eucharist without music or hymns, but with a short sermon.
Sunday Mornings @ 9:00am Holy Eucharist in the Sanctuary
This service will be in a similar style to the 10:00am service throughout the rest of the year: a Rite 2 eucharist with hymns and a sermon, but without the other service music.
The priest and servers might or might not robe, depending on the heat and humidity.
Sunday September 6, 2015 10:30am Outdoor Eucharist at Mohegan Park
Followed by Parish Picnic
Social Action Group We have recently launched a group to engage in Social Action, and campaign for a more just world. This is different from our existing outreach activities in that it is more concerned to discover and challenge the reasons for injustice. So, for example, the Food Pantry seeks to alleviate hunger and poverty, but our new group will be focusing on the reasons why we have hunger and poverty, and campaigning to address those reasons. This might show itself in writing to our senators and other elected officials, for instance. The group has held an initial meeting and will continue to meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:00pm. The next meeting will be on Tuesday June 9th in the Pine Room extension. At the first meeting we decided upon a mission statement which will be published shortly. For more information please speak to Jourdan Jonson or Susan James.
Parking for July 2nd Fireworks
The Annual Firework Display to mark the July 4th Independence Day will be taking place this year on Thursday July 2nd. Parking will once again be available at Christ Episcopal Church at $5 per car. From there, it is a short walk by the river along the heritage path, or down Washington Street to the Marina. Or you can stay at the church and watch the fireworks from there. There will also be food and drinks for sale. If wet, the rain date is Friday July 3rd.
Trees To Be Trimmed At its May meeting the vestry agreed to a request that some of the trees below the parking lot on the South side of the Church be trimmed. This will be done free of charge by the person who requested it, and will open up the view of the firework display from the Church steps. It will be done in such a way that the “not-so-nice” view of the Yantic river and Holly Hock Island will not be opened up, thus preserving the beauty of the scene.
Election of the 27th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
Election will take place June 27 during General Convention in Salt Lake City The Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop announced on May 1st the names of
the bishops it will nominate this summer to succeed Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. The four
names will be formally submitted to the General Convention during a joint session on June 26, the day prior to
the day set for the election. The nominees are:
The Rt. Rev. Thomas Breidenthal, 64, Diocese of Southern Ohio
The Rt. Rev. Michael Curry, 62, Diocese of North Carolina
The Rt. Rev. Ian Douglas, 56, Diocese of Connecticut
The Rt. Rev. Dabney Smith, 61, Diocese of Southwest Florida
Details of the 4 nominees and links to information about them and the election process can be found on this
website: http://www.generalconvention.org/pbelect
Our own Diocesan Bishop, Ian Douglas in among those nominated.
The election will take place at St Mark’s Cathedral in Salt Lake City on June 27. The name of the bishop who
has been elected will then be referred to the legislative committee who will make a recommendation to the
House of Deputies whether to confirm the election or not confirm. The House of Deputies will immediately
vote on the recommendation. The House of Bishops will then be notified of the action taken, and the name of
the presiding bishop elect will be announced. He will preach at the convention’s closing Eucharist on July 3,
and the present Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will preside.
The presiding bishop elect’s nine-year term officially begins Nov. 1, 2015. The presiding bishop is primate and
chief pastor of the church, chair of the Executive Council, and president of the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society.
The 78th General Convention meets June 25 – July 3, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Reservations for this event must be made and paid for in advance at the CCSArts Office.
