Peaceful and Grace-filled Discernment Now may the Lord of peace him- self give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:16, 18 Paul’s second letter to the Thes- salonians wishes people peace and grace in our Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t you wish all your letters, or for that matter all you do, would end this way? Imagine what it would be like to end with grace and peace on a regular basis. What if when you checked out at the gro- cery the clerk wished you grace and peace and smilingly gave you your change? What if when you handed over your co-pay at the doctor’s office, the billing clerk thanked you for your check and wished you grace, and peace? What if when you received a contract from an attorney it ended with the words, “and may the Lord grant grace and peace between the parties entering into this agreement?” Imagine a world where important decisions were always made by first asking for the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Trinity is now beginning this time. This is our time of asking for the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your superbly gifted candidates for the next Rector of Trinity are winding up their visits with the Nominating Committee and Vestry. Soon it will be time to begin the last part of discerning which of these fine priests will join you as Rector in your journey with our Lord Jesus Christ. There is always a great tempta- tion to get impatient and “get on with it” at times like this. People can be restless and wonder what is taking so long. People can start to feel as if it will never be over. And it’s especially tempting to the peo- ple doing the hard work of discern- ment: Your Nominating Commit- tee and Vestry. Yet this is exactly the time when God wants us to rest in Christ’s grace and peace and lis- ten to God. A state of grace and peace is a place in which Wisdom, the Voice of the Spirit, has room to move and work. This is a state in which personal preferences, likes and dislikes, prejudices about this and that, are all set aside to ask, “What does God want for Trinity?” All of you have a role in this peaceful and grace-filled discern- ment of your next Rector. Your im- portant role can only be filled by you, because you were created as a unique Child of God. So in those ways you are best at doing, culti- vate peace, spread grace, and pray for your Nominating Committee and Vestry as they continue pa- tiently and wisely listening to God. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Peaceful and Grace-filled

Discernment

Now may the Lord of peace him-

self give you peace at all times in

all ways. The Lord be with all of

you. The grace of our Lord Jesus

Christ be with all of you. ~

2 Thessalonians 3:16, 18

Paul’s second letter to the Thes-

salonians wishes people peace and

grace in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Don’t you wish all your letters, or

for that matter all you do, would

end this way? Imagine what it

would be like to end with grace and

peace on a regular basis. What if

when you checked out at the gro-

cery the clerk wished you grace and

peace and smilingly gave you your

change? What if when you handed

over your co-pay at the doctor’s

office, the billing clerk thanked you

for your check and wished you

grace, and peace? What if when

you received a contract from an

attorney it ended with the words,

“and may the Lord grant grace and

peace between the parties entering

into this agreement?” Imagine a

world where important decisions

were always made by first asking

for the grace and peace of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

Trinity is now beginning this

time. This is our time of asking for

the grace and peace of our Lord

Jesus Christ. Your superbly gifted

candidates for the next Rector of

Trinity are winding up their visits

with the Nominating Committee

and Vestry. Soon it will be time to

begin the last part of discerning

which of these fine priests will join

you as Rector in your journey with

our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is always a great tempta-

tion to get impatient and “get on

with it” at times like this. People

can be restless and wonder what is

taking so long. People can start to

feel as if it will never be over. And

it’s especially tempting to the peo-

ple doing the hard work of discern-

ment: Your Nominating Commit-

tee and Vestry. Yet this is exactly

the time when God wants us to rest

in Christ’s grace and peace and lis-

ten to God. A state of grace and

peace is a place in which Wisdom,

the Voice of the Spirit, has room to

move and work. This is a state in

which personal preferences, likes

and dislikes, prejudices about this

and that, are all set aside to ask,

“What does God want for Trinity?”

All of you have a role in this

peaceful and grace-filled discern-

ment of your next Rector. Your im-

portant role can only be filled by

you, because you were created as a

unique Child of God. So in those

ways you are best at doing, culti-

vate peace, spread grace, and pray

for your Nominating Committee

and Vestry as they continue pa-

tiently and wisely listening to God.

Grace to you and peace from God

our Father and the Lord Jesus

Christ. Amen.

Rector’s Reflections

Page 2: Chimes for November 2011

We are very pleased to announce the addition of The Reverend Linda M. Young to the Clergy Staff as Associate Priest at Trinity. She joins Trinity

on a part-time basis. Her primary focus, in addition to her regular minis-try as a priest includes Youth Ministry (Junior and Senior High) and Pas-

toral Care.

Introducing The Rev. Linda M. Young

Our new Associate priest comes to us from the Diocese of Southern Ohio having served a par-ish in Cincinnati for the past year. She is originally from Ohio, having grown up in Cleveland, but came to Cincinnati to attend the College of Mount St. Joseph and has been in the tri-state ever since. A chemistry major in college, Linda chose ministry upon graduation, working at a retreat cen-ter giving overnight retreats to high school students from the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky ar-ea. “I have listened to the stories of literally thousands of teens over the years of working there. It is working with adolescents that really formed me as a minister. If I could keep a group of teenager’s attention while giving a talk, giving a sermon on Sunday morning was a piece of cake!” Linda has two sons, Ben 13 and Chris 16, but she says that it is much more challenging dealing with adolescents once they are your own kids! The eldest child is a special needs kid, diagnosed with Autism Spec-trum Disorder Linda got her Masters Degree in Education at UC and worked there at the Medical School co-ordinating programs that sent the students to medically underserved areas. All the while, she contin-ued to give retreats, moving on to adult retreats in time. She has also studied Tai Chi, the Chinese martial art of “meditation in motion”, and taught it at UC. She has traveled to the orient to study Tai Chi, and had her own school, but only teaches it now on retreats Linda was ordained a priest in June of 2010, after graduating from Bexley Hall Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. While part-time at Trinity she will continue to give retreats to adults with the group The Center Within, of which she is the Executive Director. She is very excited to be joining the staff of Trinity Church. “From the first time I supplied here this summer I felt a great sense of welcome and a very ‘at home’ feeling. I believe that sense of hospitality is what Christ wants us as a Church to be about, and I am honored to be a part of it here at Trinity.”

The Rt. Rev. Chilton R. Knudsen, retired bishop of

Maine, will begin serving as Interim Assisting Bishop

for the Diocese of Lexington later this month. During

the next year, Bishop Knudsen will be with us for two

weeks per month and three weekends. Her office will

be at Mission House and her residence will be at St.

Agnes House.

Bishop Knudsen was born into a Navy family and

grew up overseas (Guam/Marianas Islands, the Phil-

ippines, Japan), personal experiences that shaped her

commitment to world-wide mission. She studied biol-

ogy/ecology at Chatham College in Pittsburgh, PA,

earning a BA in 1968. During graduate study at the

University of Pittsburgh (1969-1972), she taught at

her alma mater, developing interdisciplinary courses

in Behavioral Biology and Ecosystem Analysis. She

later taught interdisciplinary courses at the communi-

ty college level, and served as a counselor in women's

health clinics in Pittsburgh PA and in Wheaton, IL.

Called to the priesthood long before the Episcopal

Church accepted the ordination of women, she finally

enrolled at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary,

receiving the M. Div. in 1980. She was ordained dea-

con in 1980 and priest in 1981, first serving a new

mission in Bolingbrook, IL and later in other congre-

gations, rural and inner-city. She was called as Pasto-

ral Care Officer in 1987 (later named Canon for Pasto-

ral Care) in the Diocese of Chicago, where she devel-

oped a nation-wide ministry of consulting and train-

ing about professional conduct in church settings. The

material she developed (including a chapter in the

book Restoring the Soul of the Church, Alban Insti-

tute, 1995), continues to be widely used. Elected Bish-

op of Maine in 1997, she served until retirement in

September 2008.

Bishop Knudsen has a long and personal interest in

issues of addiction/recovery, especially regarding sys-

tems that have experienced the subtle yet powerful

effects of addiction - in all its forms -- in clergy or lay

leaders. Her audiotape (1985) "Christianity and the

Twelve Steps" was produced by Cowley Publications.

She co-authored a book So You Think You Don't

Know One: Addiction and Recovery in Clergy and

Congregations (Morehouse, 2010)

As bishop, she planted three new Maine congrega-

tions (including Maine's only Latino congregation)

and led in the revitalization of several others, includ-

ing congregations that suffered in the aftermath of

addiction in clergy or lay leaders. She has received a

number of awards, including: Outstanding Woman

Leader, Chicago area YWCA 1970; Doctor of Divinity,

honoris causa, Seabury-Western 1999; Maine Council

of Churches honoree for Religious Leadership 2000;

and Maine Women's Hall of Fame Inductee 2006.

Since retirement, Bishop Knudsen has been a mis-

sionary in Haiti and a retreat leader, consultant and

spiritual director in the Episcopal Church and ecu-

menical settings. She lives in Bath, Maine with her

husband, Dr. Michael Knudsen, a retired computer

scientist.

Outreach

November 20, 2011 has been designated as

United Thank Offering Sunday for the in-

gathering of gifts at Trinity, Covington.

UTO is a ministry of the Episcopal Church, begun by

women in 1889, that addresses compelling human need

through grants used to alleviate poverty locally as well as

state and worldwide. Episcopal Church Women [ECW],

Trinity's sponsoring group, asks you to prayerfully con-

sider your participation each spring and fall.

In calendar year 2010 UTO received 120 grant applications, totaling nearly $6,ooo,ooo of which

69 were fully or partially granted. These include 43 domestic, 11 companion dioceses and 15 in-

ternational grants. A few examples of UTO grants include a handicapped accessible playground;

a music program to keep children off the streets; Transition Ministries; "Alive and Lively" -

Chronic Disease Management; Community Youth Leadership Program for Non-Violence; and

an interfaith Refugee and Immigration ministry. Those closer to us are funding for St. Paul's,

Newport Food Pantry and a Diocesan Commission Prison Ministry for children whose parents

are incarcerated.

Recently St. Phillip's received $17,900 to fund facility improvements in support of "The Com-

munity Meal," a project that provides a free hot meal to the Harrodsburg/Mercer County com-

munity once per month. Trinity, Covington has historically been a leader in our Diocese with

generous support of the United Thank Offering. Once again we ask you to open your hearts for

this ongoing outreach ingathering on November 20, in spite of the difficult economical circum-

stances affecting us all.

Peggy Lietzenmayer

Trinity United Thank Offering Chair

Parish People

Community Outreach: The New

Frontier

And what does the Lord require of you but to do

justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly

with your God.

Micah 6:8

On September 13, 2011, Charlie Pangburn

was presented by the Northern Kentucky Chamber

of Commerce with the Walter R. Dunlevy Fron-

tiersman Award, in recognition of a lifelong his-

tory of outstanding service to the Northern Ken-

tucky community, outstanding service to his profes-

sion or industry and the highest standards of per-

sonal integrity and family responsibility. When I

called Charlie to talk about it, I was struck with his

soft-spoken humility, as if this was a minor passage

in his life and work.

In truth, Charlie is a man with so many hats, he’d

keep a valet busy. Retired as a Colonel from the

U.S. Marine Corps, he earned his B.S. (with honors)

at the U.S. Naval Academy and his J.D. (cum laude)

from Villanova University School of Law where he

finished 7th in a class of 196. Were he to arrive one

Sunday morning in his USMC uniform, we’d be

dazzled by his medals and ribbons. He advised a

local cable channel on military strategy in the wars

in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is difficult to distill all that Charlie has done as

he is one busy person. At present, he is Chief Legal

Officer and General Counsel for University of Cin-

cinnati Physicians, Inc. after serving three years as

Associate General Counsel for the University of Cin-

cinnati. All this was after helping found the law firm

of Hemmer Pangburn DeFrank, PLLC, working as a

partner at Taft, Stettinius & Hollister and complet-

ing a number of assignments with the U. S. military.

Along the way, he has served on several regional

legislative and economic development councils,

youth leadership organizations, the Beechwood

Charlie Pangburn

School Council, the Northern Kentucky Convention

and Visitors Bureau and was notably the Chairman

of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in

2000-2001. He also served on the Board of Direc-

tors of ARC, the organization dedicated to improv-

ing the quality of life of mentally retarded/

developmentally disabled citizens.

Into physical fitness, he likes kayaking and cycling

- two wheel and motor. He and Connie, who live in

Ft. Wright, have a daughter Kimberly, a son, Chas,

a stepdaughter, Stephanie, and two granddaugh-

ters, Mila and Stella. He obviously has a full life

which he shares with all of us at Trinity - and it is

our great fortune. Six years ago, Charlie and Con-

nie came to join us in our journey with Christ. Im-

mediately he found his way among us, serving Him

and serving Trinity on the Vestry, and in outreach,

as stewardship co-chair, on The Finance Commis-

sion and the Men’s Prayer Group.

I still come back to the low-key personage who

practically begged me not to blare his accomplish-

ments. I’ll argue that where community outreach is

concerned, he has blazed trails in the tradition of

the historic frontiersmen, and in the spirit of the

ancient prophet’s standard.
