Happy New Year, St. John’s! And happy Epiphany! | |
|
Today we mark the end of the Christmas season and the arrival of the Magi to witness the birth of the Christ. This is an event that carries deep and various meanings for us in the Christian tradition. And as we embark on a new year of our discipleship journey, I want to invite us to ponder together the wisdom in this story for our delightfully – and challengingly – diverse world.
This story of an interfaith and intercultural encounter holds deep wisdom for us in terms of how we are to navigate difference with initiative, curiosity, and respect. The magi sought out this newborn king, travelling a mighty distance to pay their respects to an event of great import to a group other than their own - and they came bearing gifts! What might it look like for us to imitate this behavior, taking the initiative to go outside of our own boundaried worlds in curiosity, respect, and generosity toward people outside our own spheres, traditions, and social circles? The magi also came ready to recognize the holy outside of their own religious tradition, willing to take risks and ready to be changed by what they saw. What might it look like for us to chart a bold path toward the holy wherever it is to be found, to risk being changed by such an encounter; redirected, sent down an unfamiliar road in the faith that God awaits and guides our way?
This is what Jesus as the Christ always calls us to: the willingness to find God where we may have been conditioned not to expect it, or in places that are outside of our comfort zones. We are called to risk ourselves and our well-worn spiritual understandings in order to meet God in new ways and places, and to allow ourselves to be changed, enlarged, and finally transformed. The Magi are so important to our Christian story because they are witnesses to God’s invitation in the Incarnation to encountering the holy not only in the human, but also in what is foreign to us, what is risky, what is beyond our small worlds and comfort zones. And conversely, this story also represents God’s wide-open invitation to all to draw near, as the divine knows no borders. May we accept that invitation boldly as the Magi did, and may we live it for others, offering God’s love like a bright star that leads us all home.
With love and blessings for the year ahead,
Sarah

A Big Christmas "Thank You"
by the Rev. Anne Derse, Deacon and Minister for Community Engagement
| |
|
Our special thanks this Epiphany to St. John’s worship ministries and their many individual volunteers who shared their creative gifts and time to offer the beautiful worship experience we shared this Christmas! The Flower Guild transformed the nave with light and beauty; our talented choirs and musicians filled it with glorious music; the Altar Guild and Lay Eucharistic Ministers prepared the altar and served the Eucharist with reverence and grace, ably assisted by our acolytes; and our Welcome Ministry shared the warmth of St. John’s tradition of hospitality with all. We are grateful for the support of our lay volunteers, whose committed service makes honoring God in worship such a spiritual and meaningful experience.
We also offer thanks to our Parish Life Ministry and volunteers for the fellowship, joy and festive spirit they extended through a beautifully decorated Parish Hall and wonderful Christmas receptions throughout the season. We are blessed that they share their gift of hospitality so generously with our community, at Christmas and throughout the year!

Welcome Our New Interim Office Administrator: Stefanie Van Pelt | |
|
We are happy to announce that Stefanie Van Pelt is now serving as our Interim Office Administrator.

Upcoming Opportunities to Discuss our Draft Race & Equity Statement: Saturday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 18
by The Rev. Sarah Reynolds, Associate Rector
| |
|
In his December 16 Rectors' Corner video, Sari announced our decision to replace the promised survey on St. John’s draft statement on race and equity with opportunities, instead, to unpack and discuss the statement in community. The reason for this, as he stated, is that while a survey can collect data, it doesn’t create space for discussion, for feelings, for wrestling with the big issues. And those are things we need to make space for, as a community, as we journey together toward our vision of becoming Beloved Community.
In January, we’ll offer a couple different opportunities to unpack and respond to our draft statement. Join us in person after worship on Sunday, January 15, from 12:00 to 1:30 pm. Or join the conversation on Zoom the following Wednesday, January 18, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.
In these sessions, we’ll walk through each section of the statement in a guided reading and discussion. In order to use our time together to really talk about the statement itself and the issues it addresses, we ask that you read the statement beforehand, which you can find here. We also suggest referencing this glossary of terms, so that we are all working from the same definitions.
It is our hope that these sessions provide the space and opportunity not only to reach clarity on the statement itself, but also to allow the space to explore our sticking points so that we can move forward in this work together as a community...

Website Notification
by Sharon Lopilato, Finance & Communications Assistant

For those of you who might be wondering, what you currently see at stjohnsnorwood.org is not a new, redesigned website. It is a temporary site, quickly posted after recent issues with our hosting company killed our former site. It is intended to be short-term, providing only the very most minimal, critical information for parishioners and visitors. We are currently in talks with a trusted EDOW partner about hosting a new and improvied website for St. John's. Thanks in advance for your patience, and stay tuned for more details! | |

It will include a mock meeting between the speaker, an experienced trusts and estate attorney, and a St. John’s family which will address some of the key issues in framing a plan that accomplishes your wishes with care and kindness for those you love.

Voices From the Holy Land Online Film Salon - Sunday, January 15
by Barbara Ordway
| |
|
Is Israel an Apartheid State? Such is the claim of the United Nations, Amnesty International, B’Tselem, Human Rights Watch, and journalists from a range of media. The International Criminal Court has labeled apartheid “a crime against humanity.” If this is apartheid, what is the authority of the UN and the ICC to adjudicate Israel’s violation of international law?
Two short documentary films explore the separate and distinct laws, physical infrastructure, civil systems and military enforcement applied to Palestinians in Israel and in the occupied territories. Watch the films for free at your convenience (Check out the trailer at tinyurl.com/VFHL-ApartheidTrailer), then join the online Q&A Discussion on Sunday, January 15.
Panelists include Saleh Hijazi: Former Deputy Regional Direct - MENA at Amnesty International; Michael Lynk: Author, Associate Professor of Law at Western University, former UNHCR Special Rapporteur for Palestinian territories; Edwin Arrison: Anglican Priest, Development Officer - Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation; and Jonathan Kuttab (moderator): Attorney, author, Exec. Dir. Friends of Sabeel North America.
How it works:
- Register here for the Voices from the Holy Land Online Film Salon: tinyurl.com/VFHL-January2023
- Once you register, you will get a confirmation email from Zoom with a link to the meeting and a link with to watch the film. (Save this confirmation letter as the meeting link is unique to your email and you must have this to participate.)

Men's Book Club Meeting - Wednesday, January 11 at 7:30 pm
by Earle O'Donnell
| |
|
In The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America, Timothy Snyder exposes the dark philosophy and grand ambitions that underly Putin efforts to extend Russian power and to undermine Western democracies.
Snyder examines Putin’s transition from a leader who before 2012 accepted the EU’s legitimacy for Europe and actually aided America to strike back at militant Islamism in Afghanistan to a person who has unleashed multiple military and covert operations to extend Russian power while weakening Western democracies. Putin has, Snyder explains, has embraced the nationalistic views of a set of Russian philosophers who contend that the West is decadent to its core and must eventually succumb to a great Russian Fascist leader. In the words of one of these philosophers, the Leader must rise as an “act of salvation” so that classic “virtue” can be restored to the world. Putin’s actions are based on “Strategic Realism” which recognizes it cannot become stronger; it can prevail by making its enemies weaker. To that end, Snyder argues, Putin’s cyber war in the American 2016 election was not just aimed at electing a President who would tamely acquiesce to Russian plans, but to begin to undermine the people’s faith in the fairness of the American election process and in the credibility of its institutions. Snyder’s analysis of Russia’s sweeping ambitions and of Western vulnerabilities is revealing and even a bit scary.
Please join us on Wednesday, January 11 at 7:30 on Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent the day prior; please email Earl O-Donnell at [email protected]
if you would like to be added to the contact list.
