Going Meat-Free with Flavor and Style 
|
by Jay Mallin, Eco-Action Team Member
 My dentist was monologuing the other day, as people in his line of work are accustomed to doing, when he remarked that he wished his parents were vegetarians for the health benefits. I was surprised - I love my dentist, but he's not the veggie type. Since my mouth was temporarily free of sharp implements, I asked, "Are you a vegetarian?" "Oh no," he said. "I couldn't eat all that salad."
Salad? Salad!?!? Is that what people think of when they think of a meat-free meal?
I don't think I have ever, not in decades of nightly cooking, served salad as a main dish in my house. It's not that I'm hostile to greens. It's just that I've long cooked for two growing boys, and for a spouse who's convinced protein is an essential ingredient for a good night's sleep. And I get pretty hungry myself. (For the record we're not a vegetarian household; we regularly eat seafood, and a fish is not a vegetable.)
More than a dozen of the parishioners participating in
St. John's Lenten eco-pledges have made pledges related to food, particularly giving up red meat or all meat for one meal a week, or going vegetarian or even vegan at least part of the time during Lent. As we covered in the adult forum, such choices have an immediate impact on greenhouse gases. And if we change our diets, grocery stores and the systems that supply them have demonstrated they will respond quickly to changes in consumer preferences. (Just check out the gluten-free section of your grocery as a reference.)
Going vegetarian or vegan even one night a week can be much less challenging than it sounds. Start with spaghetti - ever consider that spaghetti and tomato sauce is a vegetarian dish that almost everyone enjoys? Leave off the parmesan and it's vegan. Then extend your thinking on noodles a little bit - pasta with pesto, or a huge range of delicious Asian dishes (Pad Thai, anyone?). Next, head out into the grains & legumes. Black beans and rice, known in my country of origin as "Moros y Cristianos" (Moors and Christians), is probably the most basic, or maybe hummus, if you're focused on the Mediterranean. But the repertoire extends way, way beyond that. Then there are the vegetable curries too, and by the time you add the cumin, coriander, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, onions, garlic, and cloves, your entire house smells like dinnertime in Mumbai.
And finally there are the meat alternatives. Sure, you can try the newcomers, like the whatever burger. But is there really a need when there are already multiple flavors of veggie burger over at Trader Joe's? We have some "Korean-flavored" burgers in our freezer right now to keep one of my now-grown sons topped up. And tofu. I could not cook that stuff for years, until I read a simple NY Times recipe that explained you slice or cube it and throw it in a really hot skillet with oil, then let it sit without touching it for three minutes each side. Voilà - golden tofu worthy of a good Chinese restaurant. I served successful tofu tacos last week.
For more info and recipes along these lines, see the NY Times' recent "
The Meat-Lover's Guide to Eating Less Meat." Whatever Lenten pledge you've taken, enjoy some really good meals this Lent. If you want, you can even serve a salad - on the side!

Meet the Rite 13 Participants
|
by Lee Walsh, Assistant for Children, Youth, and Family Ministries
This past Sunday we conducted the Rite 13 ceremony for Alexandra "Alex" Coulouris, Miles Zoll, and Emily Teague. We have promised, as a congregation, to support them as they transition into adulthood. To do that, let's get to know them a little better.
 Alex, an 8th grader at Silver Creek Middle School, is the elder of two girls. She is known for her talent of playing the double bass and loves to indulge in reading - especially Crooked Kingdom, Ramen Boys, Lovely War, or Illuminae - when she has the opportunity. She looks forward to getting older so that she can visit England - she loves the accents of the English. We can look for great things from Alex who plans to work on violence prevention caused by prejudice and hate.
Miles, younger brother to Bella (14), is being home-schooled during his 7th grade year. He is happy to have reached his teen years because he is looking forward to being able to drive. Miles is a gifted mimic and is also talented at playing basketball. In his free time Miles plays video games, reads (his favorite book series is Harry Potter) and plays with his dogs Harper and Ozzie. Miles would like to positively impact the world by running an organization to help veterans.
Emily, a 7th grader at Robert Frost Middle School, has a 10-year-old brother, Chapin. Apart from loving to draw, hanging with friends and family, and skiing, Emily is known for her musical abilities and her finesse on the soccer field. You might catch her eating her favorite food, hamburgers, while singing along and watching her favorite movie, High School Musical. Emily likes being a teen because of her growing freedom and independence. She hopes to visit Paris one day as she dreams of visiting the Eiffel Tower. She hopes to work in support of the health of the planet and against climate change.

St. John's 2020 Budget: March 1, 10:10 am - Parish Hall
|
by John Stewart, Senior Warden
The Adult Forum on Sunday, March 1st will feature a group of Vestry members presenting and describing our operating budget for 2020. This session follows our well-attended forum last September, in which we presented our tentative budget and pledge goals. Much has changed since then, including significant parts of our staffing structure, and the Vestry will be explaining how those changes were accommodated in the final budget we adopted in January. We will also be providing an update on progress towards filling our vacant staff positions. Please join us on March 1st and come prepared to ask questions!

 St. John's Norwood has a long tradition of hospitality and strives to be a community that is open, inclusive, and welcoming. We want to offer our newest members all the connections, fellowship, and information they need to enter easily into the life of our church.
We are seeking innovative new ways to reach out and offer that warm welcome and we need your ideas! Whether you are relatively new or a long-standing member, we are sure you have a great perspective to share from your own experience at St. John's. Please help us brainstorm how we can open our doors and our hearts fully to new members of our church family.
If you'd like to help, please let Anne Derse ([email protected]) or Sydney Nixon ([email protected] ) know. We look forward to setting up a discussion soon!

|
by Karl Robson, Director of Music Ministries
 Lent is a time of intentional preparation to receive with freshness and renewed vitality the mystery of the resurrection of Christ. As we embark on this forty-day journey of prayer and reflection, the St. John's Choir will offer a service of Choral Evensong on Sunday, March 1st at 5:00 pm.
Choral Evensong is one of the most beautiful liturgical innovations of the Anglican tradition, blending the monastic offices of Vespers and Compline. It largely follows the order found in The Book of Common Prayer of 1662, with Psalms, Bible readings, and the Songs of Mary and Simeon: Magnificat and Nunc dimittis. The prayers, hymns, and anthems come from many centuries of the Christian Church. At Evensong we participate mostly by allowing the minister and choir to speak and sing on our behalf. Many find this frees them, in a busy world, to offer to God their own thoughts and prayers.
After the service, refreshments and information about the Lenten Eco-Pledge Program will be available in the Parish Hall.

Adult Forum: March 8,10:10 am - Parish Hall
|
by Peter Plocki, Adult Forum Coordinator
On March 8th, the St. John's Adult Forum will feature a presentation by Dr. Henry Ziegler and Mr. Edward Kussy, parishioners at Grace Episcopal Church in Alexandria, about their two-week medical mission trip to Tanzania last fall and the volunteer opportunities available to assist the urban poor in this African nation. They will describe the medical and community health programs in an urban poverty center in Tanzania's largest city, Dar es Salaam. Mr. Kussy, who is an environmental lawyer, will describe what it is like to be a short-term missionary without a medical background.
 Dr. Ziegler is president of the Health Tanzania Foundation and has been representing the Center for International Health in Tanzania as a senior medical consultant. He is currently health adviser for the Anglican Diocese of Dar es Salaam and the MEA Foundation. Dr. Ziegler has more than thirty years of community health/public health leadership and expertise in both the United States and abroad. Over the last thirty years, Dr. Ziegler has worked in Tanzania, the first three-and-a-half years full-time. He was health director for the Anglican Diocese of Dar es Salaam, developing strong community health and clinical programs including comprehensive HIV/AIDS services. Dr. Ziegler and his team see more than 65,000 patients a year, have trained more than 300 village health workers, and have distributed more than 90,000 treated mosquito nets in Dar es Salaam and remote areas of the Coast Region, where he also helped develop the first comprehensive Tanzanian regional plan to reduce maternal and newborn deaths. Dr. Ziegler has an M.D. from McGill University, an M.P.H. from Johns Hopkins University, and is board certified in internal medicine and board eligible in preventive medicine. He has held faculty appointments with three U.S. medical schools and is a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the Wisconsin College of Medicine and a clinical assistant professor of global health at the University of Washington School of Public Health.
 Edward Kussy is a partner at the Washington, D.C., office of Nossaman LLP. Before joining Nossaman, he worked for the Federal Highway Administration for thirty-four years, the last eighteen as the agency's Deputy Chief Counsel. He has worked on the legal aspects of major highway and other transportation projects across the United States. His primary specialty is environmental law, which he has practiced for almost forty-eight years. Mr. Kussy is a graduate of Michigan Law School and has an LLM in Environmental Law from George Washington University Law School, where he was an adjunct Professorial Lecturer for 16 years.

| Voices From the Holy land Film Series |
by Kirk Campbell, Holy Land Committee Co-Coordinator
St. John's Holy Land Committee is collaborating with Voices From the Holy Land (VFHL) for the third year running to present to the public three free films on the Israel-Palestine conflict. VFHL is a locally based all-volunteer group whose mission is to raise awareness and understanding of issues through the voices of Palestinians and Israelis, and especially to help the voiceless speak. This is VFHL's sixth annual film series. This year's films will take place at the following places/times, chosen to feature DC, MD, and VA locations:
- March 1st at 2:00 pm, Washington National Cathedral (DC): The Truth: Lost at Sea
- March 15th at 2:00 pm, Universalist Unitarian Church, Arlington (VA): The Ruins Of Lifta
 The Truth: Lost at Sea.
Directed by Rifat Audeh, the film tells the story of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of ships carrying humanitarian aid in an effort to break Israel's blockade of Gaza in 2010. The flotilla's participants were concerned citizens from around the globe who came together on a life-changing voyage to alleviate the suffering of strangers. It shows the Israeli attack upon their flotilla, with both footage that was broadcast and more that was smuggled off the ships, and analyzes the claims of Israeli spokespersons in the aftermath of the IDF's killing of numerous activists. Those claims are juxtaposed with the survivors' story and their statements before, during, and after the attack, and includes never-before-seen footage from aboard the vessels.
 The Ruins of Lifta.
Lifta is the only Palestinian village abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that was not subsequently destroyed completely or repopulated. Its ruins are the backdrop for a confrontation between mega-narratives underlying the conflict: the Nakba and the Holocaust.
Co-director Menachem Daum (with Oren Rudavsky), an Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn whose Holocaust research opened his eyes to a tragedy born from an earlier tragedy, meets Yacoub Odeh, a Palestinian expelled from Lifta. Odeh leads the struggle to save Lifta from Israeli plans to build luxury villas. The two join forces, and a climactic encounter between a Holocaust survivor and a Nakba refugee ensues.
For more information on these insightful films or to join the VFHL's efforts to share the stories of the people of the Holy Land, please contact Beth Wilmot (

Care Bags for the Homeless
|
by Lee Walsh, Assistant for Children, Youth, and Family Ministries
 Last Sunday our Church School classes assembled care bags for the homeless. Each bag contains assorted food, water, and care items (e.g., socks, bandaids) as well as printed information for resources like housing assistance, medical care, and soup kitchens. These care bags are in a box in the West Avenue lobby. Please take some, keep them in your car or backpack and be ready to give them away to someone in need.

Samaritan Ministry's Next Step Breakfast: March 12, 7:30 am - National Press Club
|
by Alex Schmandt
 Please join me and fellow St. John's parishioners at the Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington's (SMGW) annual breakfast fundraiser. The Next Step Breakfast will take place on Thursday, March 12th at the National Press Club (529 14th Street NW) in downtown DC. It begins at 7:30 am and ends promptly at 9:00 am. The breakfast is complementary.
This breakfast is an opportunity to support a local organization that addresses the long-term needs of under-served populations. While St. John's supports many local organizations which help people in immediate need, SMGW focuses on the long-term challenges of its participants by helping them to find jobs, housing, and education through a structured and mentored Next Step Program.
The Next Step Breakfast is an inspirational event with two special showcases. In the first showcase, an SMGW participant will share how their individual journey led them to SMGW as well as the success they have experienced through their participation in the Next Step Program. In the second, an SMGW volunteer will share their experience mentoring those in need and discuss how helping others has affected their lives. This year's host will be PBS News Hour's Yamiche Alcindor.
It would be refreshing if we had some new faces representing St. John's at the breakfast to boost those stalwarts that attend this event year in and year out. As an added incentive (in addition to the spiritual glow) of attending this event, I will pledge to those parishioners who attend the breakfast my quo to your quid. In other words, I will gladly reciprocate your time and effort to attend this event with my time and financial support to your cause or event.
If you would like to attend and represent St. John's, please contact Alex Schmandt at

"If Music Be the Food" Concert Featuring Seraphim Vocal Quintet: March 15, 3:00 pm - Nave
|
by Karl Robson, Director of Music Ministries
 Join us as we continue our fledgling benefit concert series, this time featuring a fun afternoon of music from the Renaissance!
The performers donate their time and talent, St. John's donates its beautiful acoustic space, and the audience brings as "admission" a non-perishable food item or money to help the hungry through Capital Area Food Bank.
Seraphim is a Washington-based women's ensemble (including our own Phyllis Fong and Charlotte Knapp) known for beautifully blended a capella harmony.
Seraphim's graceful ladies sing of life and love in Tudor England. They specialize in dances that evoke the spirit of the times, and offer humorous observations of the Court and its customs. Their songs of love, merry revels, animals, gypsies and pirates delight the young and young of heart.
"If Music Be the Food..." (IMBTF) is a series of benefit concerts which raise awareness and support for the hungry in the local community through the sharing of great music. Each concert is a fully grass-roots community event involving professionals, students, and local volunteers in joyful collaboration. We are striving to address nourishment in all of its forms; our bodies need it in the form of food and our souls need it in the form of music and community!
IMBTF is a completely volunteer endeavor. All of the musicians donate their services, the venues donate the space and print the programs free of charge, and the community, students, and local volunteers assist with publicity, stage management, and anything else that needs to happen for each concert. There is no fixed price for admission, rather, the audience is invited to bring non-perishable food items or monetary donations of any amount for the partnering food bank.
Founded in 2009 by violist Carol Rodland in Rochester, NY, IMBTF has become a national musicians' movement, with wonderful artists across the country creating projects based upon this idea in their own communities. The complete Shakespeare quote from Twelfth Night
captures fully the IMBTF ethos: "If music be the food of love, play on!" Music, food, love... it is all here in what we are doing together with each IMBTF concert.

Do You Know Someone Who is Hurting?
|
 If you know someone - perhaps a friend, neighbor, coworker, or relative - who is going through a difficult time, there's a wonderful way you can help them receive the care and support they need. Tell them about Stephen Ministry! Our Stephen Ministers have received 50 hours of training to provide high-quality, confidential, one-to-one, Christian care to hurting people. Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care receivers to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. The caring relationship lasts for as long as the person needs care. It's free, and it's a powerful way you can help a hurting friend.
To learn how to connect someone you know with a Stephen Minister, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders:
Penny Winder, John Mertens, Rob Hartmann, or Toni Hartman ([email protected]).
Our Stephen Ministers are there to care!

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. The Guardian: "Harari swashbuckles through these vast and intricate matters in a way that is - at its best - engaging and informative. It's a neat thought that 'we did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us.'"

Men's Book Club: March 11, 7:30 pm - Home of Earle O'Donnell
|
by Earle O'Donnell
 In 1924, the United States passed a law that was designed to stymie almost all future immigration by Italians, Greeks, Jews, and other eastern and central Europeans and to prevent all Asian immigration. The law established country by country limits on immigration from Europe. It was immensely successful. For example, Italian immigration, which had exceeded 220,000 in 1921, was capped at 2,662 annually thereafter.
In
The Guarded Gate: Bigotry, Eugenics and the Law That Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants out of America, Daniel Okent explains the factors that effectively shut the door to immigrants from countries with disfavored ethnic groups. Okent explains that opposition to immigrants has risen and subsided like a sine wave throughout our history. But this law was more comprehensive than any predecessor; so much so that Adolf Hitler singled it out for praise in
Mein Kampf.
Okent points to eugenics - the "science of breeding man" - as the driving force behind the law. By purporting to use "science" to identify inferior groups that endangered the "superior blood line" of Americans, particularly Nordic Americans, it provided a "scientific" justification for bigotry that proved irresistible. Some of the proudest names in American history - the Adams, the Roosevelts, the Lodges, Frederick Douglas, and Samuel Gompers - joined together to shut the door. Even the U.S. Supreme Court, in an opinion authored by Oliver Wendell Holmes, was sufficiently swayed that it upheld laws that authorized forced sterilizations of "misfits." How did this pseudo-science become so powerful? Is there anything that we can learn from this sad episode to inform today's harsh debate about immigration?
Join the Men's Book Club meeting on Wednesday, March 11th where we will delve into these hard questions. We meet at 7:30 pm at Earle O'Donnell's home (11221 Stephalee Lane, Rockville, MD). We look forward to seeing you there.
