    When I was in college, I once stumbled into a

    lecture by an art historian talking about Byzan-tine art. In a side note he commented that people

    in the West were sometimes snobbish toward

    Eastern Orthodox Iconography, seeing it as

    backward and child-like. He observed that this

    was a misunderstanding of the history of Icons,

    and the result of a number of assumptions car-

    ried over from western art which saw the revival

    of realism in the renaissance as superior in skill

    to what came before. It would be a mistake, he

    argued, to see Icons as primitive because they

    were less realistic, or to believe that they were

    not realistic because the artists lacked the ability

    to portray their subjects realistically. Instead, hepointed out, Icons grew out of the more realistic

    tradition of Greco-Roman funeral portraiture and

    that, at least in the East, the artists were capable

    of presenting a subject in a more realistic man-

    ner and simply chose not to.

    He went on with his lecture, but his comments

    stuck with me and inspired me to do quite a

    bit of reading about Icons, their idioms and

    symbolism.

    Fast forward to this summer. Anna had already

    been in California visiting her family for a

    week or so, and I was preparing to join her forour vacation. So what do you want to do when

    you get here?, the question came. In think-

    ing about it, there wasnt much beyond going

    to the beach that crossed my mind. But then I

    was reading a random article online and saw a

    reference to funerary portraits, with the image

    associated with the article being listed as taken

    from a display at the Getty in Los Angeles. Im-

    mediately the remarks of that historian crossed

    my mind and my interest was piqued. I didsome research and found that the Getty Villa in

    Malibu California is devoted to ancient Greek,Etruscan and Roman artifacts, and that they had

    a whole collection of funerary portraits. Speci

    cally, they had several examples of mummyportraits from Roman Egypt on display.

    When I learned this, I knew I had to take the

    opportunity to see this exhibit, since thesemummy portraits are the artistic ancestor ofChristian Icons.

    When most of us think of mummies, we tend

    to think of Ancient Egypt, but the practice ofmummication continued through the rst

    centuries A.D. and was widespread in Ro-

    man Egypt. Funeral portraits emerged, which,

    while realistic in some ways, were also often

    painted from set patterns, making them easier to

    produce in higher quantities. For some reason,

    however, the practice of painting funerary por-

    traits seems to have died out in Roman Egypt by

    the middle of the third century A.D., which co-

    incides with the rise of Christianity. Once Chris-

    tianity became the dominant faith tradition, the

    old art of panel painting continued on in Coptic

    (Egyptian) and other forms of Iconography, butwith some distinctive changes.

    Just as the old funeral portrait artists have stan-dardized some characterizations, to which they

    would add an individuals distinctive features,there was a degree of standardization that arosein Christian iconography. Certain saints would

    be depicted in particular ways, certain posesbecame standard. As one author notes:

    Continued from p. 1

    The Eastern Church tradition places words and images on an equal

    footing. The great theologian St. John of Damascus (c. 675749)

    points out that just as words encourage hearing, so do images

    stimulate the eyes. He regards words written in books as verbal

    icons. The text or speech expresses a mental picture. This funda-

    mental equivalence between words and images, between theology

    and iconography leads implicitly to the forms being standardized.

    In addition to standardization for the purpose of conveying

    specic doctrines, there was also a shift in style. Realism becameless emphasized as things became someone disproportionate. Eyes

    became larger, noses and ngers longer in part to communicate

    the idea that the gures being presented no longer exist as we do.

    In paradise their senses will be heightened. Feet are depicted so as

    not to really touch the ground, but give the slight feeling of hover-

    ing, and eyes do not look where one would expect. For example,

    in many icons of Mary with the infant Jesus, Mary looks not at the

    Christ Child, but directly at the viewer, locking eyes and drawing

    us in. Likewise the Baby Jesus is not looking at Mary, but over her

    head or shoulder, drawing the observers attention upward to God.

    I nd all of this very interesting, and one of the things I appreci-

    ate about iconography is how conducive it is to reading, to

    considering consistent themes and ways of presenting them.

    Yet even as I reect on the ways that Christian theology inuencedculture and changed it, I nd myself wondering even more: how

    have my beliefs changed me. How is the Gospel altering the way I

    look at the world. Thats a healthy question for all of us to consider

    You can see the similarity in style and material by considering the

    examples below:

    portraits from the Getty.

    When we begin Christian Ed again on September 12, we will be using a new curriculum that will open up a variety of opportunities

    for interaction between the age groups of the church, as well as provide times for small group discussions and activities. Some of the

    material provided by this curriculum,Living the Good News, will provide a broad overview of our specic traditions as Anglicans/

    Episcopalians as well as the broader traditions of the church catholic. In this months Grail we are including an introduction to the

    way that Saints are treated in the Episcopal Church. Following this theme, there will also be a description of the various Saints com-

    memorated by the kneeling cushions around our altar rail.

    Te Church has set aside certain days to commemoratethe lives o specifc Christians. Most o these days arelisted in The Book of Common Prayerand described in

    Lesser Feasts and Fasts.

    Some have been added since the publication o thesebooks, having been authorized at recent GeneralConventions o the Episcopal Church. Te Apostles tothe Dea, Tomas Gallaudet and Henry Winter Syle, areexamples o these additions. We remember these men on

    August 27.

    Te Rev. Tomas Gallaudet may not have been thefrst to notice the loneliness o people with hearingimpairments, but he was the frst to bring their plight tonational attention. He opened the School or the Dea inHartord, Connecticut, in 1817.

    Based on methods used in France and England,Gallaudets school became the model or other publicschools or the hearing impaired in this country. At least

    10 such schools were established during the next 50 years.

    We actually remember two Revs. Tomas Gallaudet. Teson o the ounder o the school dedicated his lie to thespiritual welare o people who could not hear. Rectoro St. Stephens Church in Philadelphia, he became amentor or Henry Winter Syle.

    Henry Winter Syle, who had been unable to hear sincethe age o six, nevertheless served as a lay reader at St.Stephens Church. Te son o missionaries in China, he

    was educated at rinity College (Hartord, Connecticut)and Yale University. He then read or holy orders andbecame the frst person with a major hearing impairment

    ordained in America. In 1888 he ounded All SoulsChurch or the Dea in Philadelphia.

    Saints in the

    Episcopal Church

    For the wonderful thing about saintsis that they were human.Tey lost their tempers,

    got hungry, scolded God,were egotistical or testy

    or impatient in their turns,made mistakes

    and regretted them.

    Still they went on doggedlyblundering toward heaven.

    Thanks to the generosity of Beth Longmire and the diligent

    work of Dare Bauer, Dare Williams Estok, Stephanie Lowe,

    Boo Tidwell, the late Betty Ryan, as well as Terry Smith of

    McAlisters Upholstery, who donated the upholstery work, we

    dedicated three new kneelers on August 29.

    Because of their efforts, kneelers commemorating St. Peter, St. Paul,

    and St. Simon have joined the others at our altar rail. The following

    is a brief explanation of all of the saints commemorated to date.

    St. Joseph of Arimathea

    The patron of our congregation,

    commemorated by the large

    cushion in the center of the

    altar rail.

    St. Joseph was a wealthy and

    respected leader among the

    Jewish people. A member of

    the Sanhedrin, he is referred

    to as the councillor (Lk.

    23:50). After the Crucixion herequested from Pilate the body

    of Christ and gave it burial the same day (Mt. 27:60, Mk. 15:46,

    Lk. 23:53; cf. Jn. 19:42, etc.). He is described as a good and just

    man (Lk. 23:50) and as a disciple, but secretly for fear of the

    Jews (Jn. 19:38). According to the apocryphal Gospel of Nico-

    demus he played an important part in the foundation of the rst

    Christian community at Lydda. In the De Antiquitate Glastoni-

    ensis Ecclesie, written by William of Malmesbury between 1129

    and 1139, occurs the earliest mention of the story that St. Joseph

    came to England with the Holy Grail and built the rst church in

    the country at Glastonbury, but the passage relating this incident

    was added to the book at least a century later. Feast day in the

    East and the American Book of Common Prayer (1979), 31 July;in the Wester (Roman Catholic), 17 March.

    St. Matthew

    Apostle and Evangelist. His

    name occurs in all four lists of

    the 12 Apostles (Mt. 10:3, Mk.

    3:18, Lk. 6:15, and Acts 1:13).

    In Mt. 10:3 he is described as a

    publican. The call of Matthew

    by Christ is recorded in Mt. 9:9,

    as well as in parallel passages in

    Mark and Luke, where the name

    given is Levi. He is said to havemade a collection of Christs

    sayings in Hebrew and is traditionally held to have been the

    author of the First Gospel (which is sometimes called the most

    Jewish of the Gospels). His symbol is the winged man, and his

    feast day is Sep. 21.

    St. Mark

    The Evangelist, traditionally held to be the interpreter of St. Peter.

    He (and his Gospel) is symbolized by a winged lion. He was a com-

    panion of St. Paul and is traditionally identied with John Mark,

    the cousin of St. Barnabas (Col. 4:10). His reasons for turning

    back from the rst missionary journey on which he had departed

    with Paul and Barnabas did not

    satisfy Paul, but he was later

    with Paul in Rome. Eusebius,

    possibly relying on a very early

    tradition, tells us that Mark

    was the Bishop of Alexandria

    (Egypt), but he is also tradition-

    ally associated with the city of

    Venice, Italy (hence the symbol

    of Venice being a winged lion).

    His feast day is the 25 of April.

    St. Luke

    One of the four evangelists,

    St. Luke is considered to

    have been the author of both

    the Gospel of Luke and the

    Acts of the Apostles. His

    symbol is the Ox. Sev-

    eral facts of his life can be

    gathered from the Paulineepistles and from Acts, if

    the we-sections (Acts

    16:1017; 20:521:18;

    27:128:16) are parts of his

    travel journal. According to Col. 4:14, he was a physician, and it

    has been inferred from Col. 4:11 that he was a Gentile (an inference

    corroborated by his idiomatic Greek). He was a companion of St.

    Paul on his second and third missionary journeys, and went with

    him to Rome where he stayed during his captivity. Some traditions

    associate him with the brother of 2 Cor. 8:18, a view followed by

    the Book of Common Prayer collect for his feast (18 Oct.).

    St. John

    Commemorated along with

    the other Evangelists (i.e.

    Matthew, Mark, and Luke).

    The authors of each Gospel,

    based upon the themes of

    their writing, have long

    been associated with one

    of the four living creatures

    which surround the throne

    of God in the Book of Eze-

    kiel and Revelation; Johns

    symbol is the eagle. John is

    traditionally seen as the author of the Fourth Gospel, the Book ofRevelation, and three of the Catholic Epistles. He was the son of

    Zebedee (Mt. 4:21), and together with his brother St. James and

    St. Peter, he belonged to the inner group of disciples who were

    present at the raising of Jairuss daughter (Mk. 5:37), the Trans-

    guration (Mt. 17:1), and the Agony in the Garden (Mt. 26:37).

    The Lord designated him and his brother Boanerges, which

    according to Mk. (3:17) means sons of thunder. Many scholars,

    though not all, associate John with the Beloved Disciple of the

    Gospel of John, making John the disciple designated by Christ to

    care for Mary, and the only male disciple present at the Crucix-

    ion. His feast day is the 27th of December.

    The sponsorship program for the school Jess el Seor is current-

    ly underway. Anyone who wishes to sponsor a child and has nothad the opportunity to do so may sign up for a student to sponsor

    in the St. Francis Undercroft on the board next to the nursery. Be-

    cause of the limited number of children at the school, two people

    may sponsor the same child. There are two lines to sign up for

    each child. If you have not been contacted about re-sponsoring

    the child you had last year, that means

    your child has not returned and you will

    need to choose another child if you wish

    to be a sponsor. The cost per child is

    $60.00. If two people sponsor one child,

    then the cost would be $30 per sponsor.

    You may make your check out to St.

    Joseph. On the memo (or for) line write:

    Ecuador Sponsorship. If you are giving

    cash, please put the cash in an envelop

    marked Ecuador Sponsorship. This

    money goes to buy the students books

    and other necessary teaching materials.

    In the past we have purchased chair-

    desks, tables and chairs, maps, globes,

    textbooks, portable white erase boards, a

    supply cabinet, a teachers desk, musical

    instruments, posters, computers, and

    other teaching materials. Sponsors will

    have an opportunity to make a personal connection with their

    child at Christmas. During the month of November (in order toget it there by Christmas) the sponsors will send their child a

    Christmas card. More information on the card will follow.

    May God continue to bless us through our companion

    relationship,

    St. Peter

    Prince of the Apostles, his

    symbol is an upside down

    Latin cross with keys super-

    imposed. Like many of the

    saints outside the four evan-

    gelists, his symbol relates not

    only to his ministry but to his

    martyrdom. Our knowledge

    of his life and personality isderived chiey from the Gos-

    pels, Acts, St. Pauls Epistle to

    the Galatians, and tradition. According to the Gospel of St. John

    (1:44), he was a native of Bethsaida, a village near lake Tiberias,

    and in the Johannine account (1:3542) he is introduced to the

    Lord by his brother St. Andrew and given the name Cephas,

    the Aramaic equivalent of the Greek Peter. In all the lists of the

    twelve apostles Peters name appears rst and he is present on all

    the occasions when only a small inner group is admitted, namely

    the raising of Jairuss daughter (Mt. 9:1826), at the Transgura-

    tion (Mt. 17:18), and at the Agony in the Garden (Mt. 26:37).

    He usually takes the lead and is the mouthpiece of the disciples.

    After Peter professes his belief in Christ, the Son of the livingGod (Mt. 16:16), and the disciples are silenced, Matthew adds the

    Lords promise Thou art Peter, and on this rock will I build my

    church, together with the keys of heaven and the power of bind-

    ing and loosing (16:18 f.). After the ascension, Peter becomes the

    rst Bishop of Antioch, and after several years, travels to Rome

    where he was martyred under the Emperor Nero around 64 A.D..

    Tradition says that he asked to be crucied upside down because

    he did not believe himself worthy to die in the same manner as

    Christ. Two of the Catholic Epistles are ascribed to Peter, and the

    Gospel of Mark is said to convey his teaching relating to Jesus

    earthly ministry. There are historical reasons to believe that his

    tomb in St. Peters, Rome, is authentic.

    In addition to the feast of Ss. Peter and Paul on June 29, we also

    celebrate the Confession of St. Peter on January 18th.

    St. Paul

    The Apostle of the Gentiles.

    His symbol is a sword and

    an open bible emblazoned

    with the words Spiritus

    Gladius, Sword of the

    Spirit. Born in the rst few

    years A.D. Paul, originally

    called Saul, was a Jew of the

    tribe of Benjamin, a native

    of Tarsus in Cilicia and is

    indicated by Acts to have

    had Roman citizenship. He

    was raised as a Pharisee and may have had some education at

    Jerusalem under the famous teacher Gamaliel. His life in Judaism

    (Gal. 1:14) gave him his trust in God, experience of the Law, and

    a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, as well as his methods

    of arguing from Scripture. As a Jew of the Diaspora, he spoke

    Bart D. Ehrman in his book The Lost Christianities, if my

    recollections are correct, said something like this: In America or

    almost any country in the world you will be aware that Christians

    nd it difcult to choose a right Church. If they are Episcopa-

    lians, do they prefer High Church or Low Church? If Methodist,

    socially liberal or ethically conservative? If evangelical, would

    it be large and technically sophisicated, or small and intimate?

    Should it be a Bible preaching, or a liturgically oriented church?

    Politically active, spirtually focused, and have a strong music

    program or thoughtful sermons? Should it have a solid social

    ministry? Should it have an active youth group? Should it have a

    vibrant outreach program? The questions he raised go on and on,

    for those of us concerned about these things.

    Imagine the choices facing this church and congregation. What is

    better: solid social ministry, active youth group, vibrant outreach

    program, having a strong music program, thoughtful sermons, or

    small and intimate, etc.? I cannot or will not presume the groups

    desires and wishes, but just let me say that I am here to serve, not

    in a political way, but hopefully in a Christian way.

    In any event, it appears reasonably clear that we must remain an

    outreach family since all of the above matters are to be consid-

    ered on the question of the direction we are hopeful in attaining,

    considering the posibilities. Not everyone can be right, of course,

    in this understanding, for different groups within our family,

    some may hold varying, even contradictory points of view. I will

    remain eternally optimistic that our family will grow in faith,

    greeting, and fellowship.

    Who knows what kind of religious or social agenda will or could

    be formed in the period of one year as designated? On the other

    hand, maybe we as the vestry with Fr. Jody can lead the congre-

    gation with what precious systems of belief and practices we can

    formulate in unison with one another to advance our church, fam-

    ily, and outreach programs. We all must keep in mind The Great

    Commission (Matthew 28: 1920).

    With Gods help, for he will surely be with us, and with the Lord

    Jesus Christs guidance, we will advance, for when we come to

    know ourselves, then will we become known.

    my reflectionfor thiS paSt year

    Four times a year, members from St. Joseph volunteer to prepare,

    deliver and serve lunch at the Campus for Human Development

    at the Room in the Inn, 532 8 th Ave. South, Nashville, Tennessee.

    Men and women who stay there have pledged to stay off drugs

    and alcohol, attend church and be looking for work. Our Men of

    the Church, headed by Carl MacLeod, Jeff Jordan and Bill House

    prepare the bar-be-cue chicken, beans, potato salad, rolls and

    pecan pies to be served by various volunteers from St. Joseph.

    The people there tell us it is the meal they most look forward to.

    We have already provided lunch in March, June, and August and

    have one more opportunity to deliver and serve the meals this

    year on Sunday, October 3, 2010. If you would like to participate

    in this wonderful ministry, please sign up on the sheet on the

    table next to the Nursery. If you have questions, please contact

    Sarena Pettit.

    and wrote Greek and shows some knowledge of rhetoric. Within

    a short time of the Crucixion, he came in contact with the new

    Way of the followers of Jesus, apparently in Palestine, and per-

    secuted the Church (1 Cor. 15:9, Gal. 1:13). Acts 7:58 represents

    him as present at the martyrdom of St. Stephen, and 9:12 as

    authorized by the High Priest to arrest converts in Damascus. As

    he drew near he was himself converted. Without the ministry of

    St. Paul, we can truthfully say that Christianity would be very

    different today, and doubtless Gentile Christianity would be much

    smaller if it existed at all.

    The joint feast of Ss. Peter and Paul is observed on June 29, and

    the Conversion of St. Paul is celebrated on the 25th of January.

    St. Simon

    Also known as Simon the Less. He is represented by sh, some-

    times with a bible to represent his call from shing to shing

    for people. One of the twelve Apostles, called in Mt. 10:4 and

    Mk. 3:18 the Canaanite or the Cananaen. The Greek word is

    probably a transcription of the Aramaic meaning zealous, which

    would account for St. Lukes

    translation zealot (Lk. 6:15,

    Acts 1:13), though this could

    imply that he had once been a

    member of the Zealots, it that

    party existed at the time. The

    Apocryphal Passion of Simon

    and Jude related the preaching

    and martyrdom of these two

    Apostles in Persia. This tradi-tion indicates that Simon died

    by being sawed in two, hence

    the history of depicting St. Simon with a saw. In the West the two

    are always coupled in the ecclesiastical calendar and in dedica-

    tions of churches. We celebrate the feast of St. Simon and Jude

    on the 28th of October.

    Have you ever wondered how the various denominations

    and Christian traditions are related? Do you have friends or

    family that believe things that you nd interesting or even

    troubling and you wonder where these ideas came from

    and how they relate to what we believe and teach as creedal

    Christians in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition? If so the

    upcoming Priests Forum topic is for you.

    Over the coming weeks we will be discussing the develop-

    ment of Christianity from its origins among the disciples o

    Jesus into a world religion including many different sub-

    groups and ways of practicing the faith.

    Join us as we look at Christianitys family tree.
