Joy to the world! A Christmas 2020 message from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

Joy to the world! The Lord is come: let earth receive her King; let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing.

Perhaps like me, you’ve sung this hymn for years – in church, at home with your family, gathered with friends and neighbors. Perhaps you’ve sung it to yourself – in your car, on a walk, or quietly in the dark of night.

Joy to the world!

While we may not feel joyful this year – as the pandemic of disease continues to bring sickness and death, when fear and mistrust – a darkness – threatens to overcome the light – we, as followers of Jesus Christ must bear joy to this aching world. We must shine light into the darkness. Joy to the world!

Like much in our lives, proclaiming joy is difficult work – also good and essential work – especially now. Though we mourn that which is lost in our lives, our families, and our communities – Joy to the world!

While we strive to pull up the twisted and thorny vines of hatred and bigotry and anger – Joy to the world!

Through streaming tears and gritted teeth – Joy to the world! – because God is breaking into our lives and into this world anew.

While this is a strange year, the ministry He gives us remains the same. We will prepare him room in our hearts by taking on the ministry Jesus demands of us: feed those who are hungry; welcome the stranger; clothe those who are naked; heal those who are sick; visit the prisoner. Love God. Love your neighbor. Sing joy into this old world. Prepare him room.

St. Luke writes of the first Christmas, “[Mary] gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” There, in the simplest bed, in the cool of the night, in a trough, in bands of cloth, lies the One for whom no room was made. And yet strangely, there lies the One whom not even the universe can contain.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come. In your hearts, in your homes, in your lives, prepare him room.

God love you; God bless you; and may God hold us all in those almighty hands of love.

Diocesan Council closes year with reports of challenges, plans for future

By Pat McCaughan

Bishop John Harvey Taylor closed out the final Diocesan Council meeting of 2020 with praise and thanksgiving for Southland congregations’ safe and reverent return to in-person worship, for upcoming “joyful, happy, colorful” Christmas celebrations, and anticipating engaging ministry next year.

The most recent Covid-19 challenges prompted California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Dec. 6 stay at home order, mandated when regional ICU availability drops below 15% capacity. The order exempts church worship, which is only permitted outdoors and in adherence with government and diocesan restrictions, Taylor said.

When his council of advice, consisting of deans of each of the diocese’s ten geographic deaneries, learned of the latest order, “we gave considerable thought as to whether it was appropriate for us to get out ahead of the wave and ask diocesan institutions to stop in-person worship altogether,” Taylor said. “But the council’s and my feeling has always been that our churches are doing a magnificent job offering outdoor worship safely and reverently.”

During several recent in-person pastoral visitations, “I’ve seen four churches doing in-person worship in a wonderful, reverent way and each putting safety first,” he said.

Two diocesan services will celebrate the joy of Christmas

On Christmas Day, Bishop Diane M. Jardine Bruce and Canon Stephen Bruce invite the diocesan community to join them for "Christmas Around the Creche," a multilingual celebration of the Nativity featuring readers and musicians from congregations throughout the diocese. The service will be livestreamed at 10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 25. “We’ll have all the languages in which services are conducted in the diocese,” says Bruce, including English, Korean, Spanish, Mandarin and more.

On the first Sunday after Christmas, Bishop John Harvey Taylor will officiate at a "Festival of Lessons and Carols for Christmas," featuring multilingual readings and carols from all ten deaneries in the diocese. The service, to be livestreamed at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 27, will include a meditation by Bishop Taylor and a virtual celebration of Holy Eucharist.

Both offerings will be available via the diocese’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. No prior registration or signup will be needed to view the services, which also will be available on demand after their initial airings.
Diocesan staff to observe holiday closures

At the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Gardner Street, St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church marks 2020 as its parish centennial year. The landmark church was completed in 1930 as designed by an architect of Washington National Cathedral. (File photos)
Hollywood parish marks centennial with ‘digital discipleship’ amid COVID-19 crisis

Three pandemics – 1918 flu, HIV/AIDS, coronavirus – shape pastoral ministries at L.A.’s St. Thomas the Apostle parish

By Bob Williams

“Spanish Influenza – Pneumonia.” Handwritten as the cause of death on Oct. 19, 1918 of 29-year-old George Rasmussen in Los Angeles amid an emerging global pandemic, this entry is recorded in the register of Hollywood’s St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church, then an active mission congregation bound for parish status in 1920-21.

A few lines down the register, ditto for Alvin J. Nelson, 40, and then for Florence Timm, 27, on Oct. 23, followed by young Mary Margaret Shafer, 13, who died Oct. 26, of pneumonia three days before Dorothy of the same address, same cause, age unlisted.

Similar entries continue that fateful autumn when in-person church services were among gatherings prohibited by city ordinance on Oct. 11, with the ban lifted that December. St. Thomas’s priest-in-charge at St. Thomas, the Rev. A. F. Randall, conducted burials at cemeteries including Forest Lawn, Rosedale, Inglewood, and Evergreen.    

Some two years later, in 1920 – when Bishop Joseph H. Johnson assigned St. Thomas’s parish boundaries reaching from Gardner Street into West Hollywood – the influenza pandemic had claimed some 3,000 lives in Los Angeles citywide, 675,000 nationally, and 50 million globally.

At that time, parish leaders would not have imagined that, 100 years later, the COVID-19 crisis – with a death toll to date of 8,345 in Los Angeles County, 304,000 across the country, and 1.6 million worldwide – would require the parish centennial observance to pivot from in-person events to digital participation using YouTube livestreaming, a technology far evolved from that of the expansive silver screens of the landmark Golden Era movie theaters along then-fashionable Hollywood Boulevard.

Likewise, in early 2020 when banners heralding the parish’s centennial year went up around the church, St. Thomas’s current rector, the Very Rev. Canon Ian Elliott Davies, and the congregation had no idea that their beloved sanctuary – home to beautiful liturgies in the Anglo-Catholic tradition – would two months later be closed for the foreseeable future.

Bishop Taylor names Tom Carey dean of Deanery IV

The Rev. Tom Carey, vicar of Church of the Epiphany, Lincoln Heights (Los Angeles), since 2010, will serve as dean of Deanery IV beginning Jan. 1, according to Bishop John Harvey Taylor.

Carey succeeds the Very Rev. Canon Roberto Martinez & the Very Rev. Fernando Valdes, former co-deans, who recently transitioned to new congregations.

Carey, a former Franciscan monk, was ordained to the priesthood in 2003 in New York, where he led St. Patrick's Church in Deerpark, Long Island, and Church of the Redeemer in Astoria (New York).

“Tom will bring his pastor’s heart, a prophetic voice, and his infectious joy to his work as dean, gathering, counseling, and representing the deacons and priests of Deanery IV,” said Taylor. “Bishop [Diane M. Jardine] Bruce, Canon [Melissa] McCarthy and I look forward to our ministry together.”

Carey is looking forward to continuing the already-strong relationships in the deanery, dubbed "El Centro," which includes La Magdelena Church and St. Mark's Church in Glendale: St. George's in La Canada; and the Los Angeles congregations of St. Philip's (Central L.A.), St. John's Cathedral (downtown), St. Barnabas' (also known as St. B's, in Eagle Rock), Trinity (East Hollywood), St. Athanasius (Echo Park), All Saints (Highland Park), St. Stephen's (Hollywood) and Epiphany.

During the pandemic, chaplains are a lifeline for inmates

By Leila Miller

Every day, Brother Dennis Gibbs sits by a window in the living room of his monastery in the San Gabriel Valley and pens a letter or two to people behind bars.

His “friends on the inside,” as the gray-haired monk calls them, have kept up a growing correspondence with Gibbs for more than nine months, sharing an intimate view into life in jails and state prisons during the pandemic.

Many have voiced worry about the coronavirus and “the tenuous feeling of how it’s being managed in the jails,” said Gibbs, 66. They’ve admitted that some aren’t reporting symptoms for fear of being put in isolation.

Although sometimes left feeling powerless, Gibbs, who co-directs a restorative justice ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of L.A. and visited the county’s jails four days a week before the pandemic, has been uplifted by a surge in pen pals. He also circulates a newsletter he began in June for inmates that features spiritual reflections and inspirational quotes.

A key to a locker is key to success for housing program

[Pasadena Community Foundation] With its new Safe Haven Bridge to Housing program, All Saints Church now serves as the site for a unique housing model that shelters homeless individuals safely on its campus. A Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) COVID-19 Response Fund grant helped to add a critical component to the program: storage lockers for participants.

PCF’s $25,000 grant helped All Saints install storage lockers for participants to keep essential belongings. As Kate Clavijo, PCF’s Senior Program Officer, points out, “A locker may seem like a small thing to some people, but it can be a critical first step in helping people obtain housing and income. Lockers not only provide a secure place for documents, clothes, cellphones, and keepsakes, but they also serve as the point of contact location for people to meet with outreach workers.”

National Cathedral tolls bell 300 times as United States passes 300,000 COVID-19 deaths

By David Paulsen

[Episcopal News Service - December 15, 2020] Washington National Cathedral on Dec. 15 tolled its bell 300 times, once for every 1,000 people who have died from COVID-19 in the United States, as another grim milestone in the pandemic coincided this week with the promise of hope offered by a vaccine.

American deaths have now topped 300,000, and over 16 million cases have been reported in the United States. Worldwide cases have passed 71 million, including 1.6 million deaths, according to the World Health Organization.

“The climbing death toll from this pandemic seems disturbingly routine. How awful that is,” National Cathedral Dean Randy Hollerith said in a written statement.

“The Christian faith teaches that each person is a beloved child of God, and that my well-being is deeply connected to your well-being. We are not lone individuals free from responsibility; rather, we are dependent upon one another for our very lives and commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves.”

Gunman killed by police on steps of New York’s St. John the Divine

By Egan Millard

[Episcopal News Service - December 14, 2020] Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include the identity of the gunman.

Police shot and killed an apparently suicidal man on the steps of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York City on Dec. 13 after he began firing two guns into the air just after an outdoor Christmas concert concluded. No one else was injured.

The cathedral choir had just finished performing a free Carols for the Community concert – masked and distanced – on the front steps around 3:45 p.m., and the crowd of hundreds of attendees was dispersing when the man began firing shots into the air in front of the bronze doors, according to New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea and the Associated Press.
