From Te Rector

Te ReverendDonald D Binder PhD

his past year has been a very busy time of minis-try within our parish where we have continued

to seek new and expanded ways of letting the lightof Christ shine within our surrounding communitiesand beyond Many of these have been on parade inthe ldquoStewardship Perspectivesrdquo so faithfully (and well-) written by Fuzzy urston and the Stewardship Com-mittee over the better part of the past twelve months

ey read as a grand testimonial of all the good work that has been done by our hardworking ldquolabor-ers in the eldrdquo whether they be ministering pasto-rally at the Fairfax or in local hospitals raising supportfor LCAC the Wounded Warriors and other worthycharities or welcoming visitors to our worship servicesor in tours of our historic church - to give just a veryabbreviated list At the same time after eight years of faithful ef-

forts we have also essentially completed the rst phaseof our Master Plan which focused on renovations ofthe parish house making this center for our parish ac-tivities both more welcoming to our visitors and morefunctional for our sta and volunteers It all culmi-nated with our rededication of the Parish House ina joyous service held on Sunday October 4th of thispast year is work was accomplished by the labor-intensive eorts of our Renovations Committee who were buoyed by the nancial contributions of manygenerous parishioners

Speaking of generosity Pohick was also the ben-

eciary of approximately $250000 in bequests givenby our late parishioners Bob and Bunny Kilmarx andRoy and Norma Avery From deliberations held at our2015 vestry retreat the vestry voted to allot 80 ofthese funds towards major capital repairs which havenow included contracting for the replacement of ourParish House roof and 20 towards the establishmentof a ldquoLet Your Light So Shinerdquo grant fund to seed newparish initiatives

From this latter fund the Grant Committee ap-proved a $10000 request to establish the Bob andBunny Kilmarx Scholarship Fund to assist activemembers of our youth programs with grants for col-lege or trade school Other requests in the ong wilinclude potentially underwriting the establishment ofa ministry to the bereaved and a series of temporarysigns advertising parish worship and activities

With all these recent successes we still face a major challenge in the new year is became apparent asI was researching service attendance trends in responseto Vestrygrams suggesting a movement to two Sunday

services year rsquoround Because Pohick has oered threeSunday services for over 55 years (since 1959) I havenot wanted to make any change in this regard unless I was convinced that such a change would (1) Be ben-ecial for the worship and spiritual life of our con-gregation and newcomers and (2) Not unintentionallyharm the various facets of our common spiritual lifeincluding worship Christian education stewardshipand outreach

F OOD P ANTRY

e rst Sunday of each month Pohick collectsnon-perishable food items that are contributed tothe Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC)food pantry Please consider bringing in an itemor two to include as a part of the alms givingFood can always be dropped o any time and leftin the Common Room

And so I spent a good deal of time literally enter-ing into a database the attendance numbers of everySunday service held since 2002 (my rst full year as

Rector) What I found is a general decline in churchattendance across those fourteen years overall follow-ing a troubling trend among all mainline churchesduring that same period

But while those declines were relatively modest forthe early and late services - 25 (17 worshipers) and27 (19 worshipers) respectively - the service withthe largest percentage (and numerical) decline overthat period is our middle or ldquofamilyrdquo service with a whopping decrease of 32 or 70 worshipers per Sun-day on average

Although we donrsquot keep track of who attends whatservice the nature of that middle servicersquos populationsuggests that those absent worshipers are mostly chil-dren and their parents is supposition is supportedby attendance records from our Sunday school fromthat same timeframe which give an average class at-tendance of 75 students in 2002 and only 35 studentslast year - a 53 decrease So it is fairly clear that mostof our decline in church attendance over the past de-cade-and-a-half is a decrease in young families

My initial interpretation of these numbers is thatthey rstly reect a shift in demographics at is where we once had Baby Boomer children (aka ldquoMil-lennialsrdquo) swelling the ranks of our Sunday school and youth group most of those children have long sincegone on to college and jobs elsewhere - and in somecases their parents have stopped attending or havedone so less frequently

Conversely there are relatively fewer ldquoGen-Xrdquo par-ents with children coming up behind them Whatrsquosmore in our immediate neighborhoods at least many

immigrants from the Far and Near East have movedin and they are less attracted to Christianity becauseof other religious aliations making evangelism moreof a challenge

Economic issues have also come into play as a lotof younger families have now found it too expensiveto live in Fairfax County - and so they are moving tomore aordable homes in Loudon Prince Williamand Staord Counties

Lastly a proliferation of sports teams school or-ganizations and extracurricular clubs have arisen over

these past fteen years whose leadership no longerhold Sunday mornings to be sacrosanct us the chil-dren and teens who are currently members of our con-gregation generally attend worship services Sundayschool classes and youth programs less frequently than

in the past ere are almost certainly more underlying fac-tors at work here but irrespective of these the bottomline is clear we have to work harder to attract youngerfamilies and to keep them more regularly involved inour common Christian life Some of the actions wehave taken in our continuing ldquoLet Your Light SoShinerdquo campaign have helped in this regard includingthe Brotherhood of St Andrewrsquos sponsorship of a BoyScout troop and the formation of a post-high schooscholarship fund mentioned above

Yet because of the pressing nature of this concernI am calling upon the Vestry and congregation this year to focus upon developing specic measures wecould take to reach out to these young families and welcome them into our church family while ndingnew ways to encourage a more robust involvement ofour young people within our youth programs is willbe the major theme of our Vestry retreat this year andit will be reected in one or more January forums thatcome out of it

It may well be that changing service times wouldbe helpful in this regard though I am presently notsold on the idea But whatever the case may be on thatissue I know that with the help of our incredibly tal-ented sta Vestry and overall congregation we will besuccessful in discerning Godrsquos will for us so that wecan discover new ways to heed Jesusrsquo command to bap-tize teach and make disciples of all nations (Matthew2819-20) It is in this Spirit that I look forward to anincredibly fruitful 2016 condent of Godrsquos continuedblessings upon our mission and ministries at Pohick

CONTINUITY AND CHANGE

Pohick Church continues to amaze me withits devotion to love and compassion expressedin many venues throughout the year It truly is aprivilege to be among you in my fourth year ofministry here In 2015 we saw both continuityand change in areas where I was involved e fol-lowing summary reviews them for your informa-

tion prayer and potential participation Preaching In Episcopal settings the Gospelreading usually takes the focus of the sermonHowever the other readings the Collect of theDay and even a hymn may be worthy sermon ma-terial that ts the liturgical season For the rsttime in my ordained ministry I attempted a seriesof sermons during the four Sundays in August while the Rector was away on vacation Basedupon the Epistle lessons they addressed gearing

up spiritually for the coming year that begins eachfall Celebrating Small celebrations of Holy Com-munion at homes or at medical facilities welcomeChrist into our daily lives and circumstances Iappreciated the company of several parishioners who have joined me recently in these visits Weoften realized the presence of our Lord in this sa-cred ritual ndash even if the person visited was too illto partake or participate fully

Teaching e Alpha Courses continue to bea source of education and relationship building anks go to the Bairds Rita Stankwitz Ed- wardene Pitcock and the Marsicos for their lead-ership food preparation and loving child carerespectively Four couples including several new-comers completed the Marriage Course at thechurch One couple viewed the videos and workedon the exercises on their own at home and an-other couple has started with the ldquodo-it- yourself rdquoprocess Several couples are on the wait list for

and visits o the street from people requesting -nancial aid Attending to these requests took aninordinate amount of time erefore we have de-cided to oer aid only by referral from local sociaservices agencies While there may be exceptionasituations we believe this generally provides forbetter accountability and stewardship of fundsand time devoted to pastoral care Social workershelp on many fronts and we appreciate their skillsand access to social services Cooperation servesboth our own parish members as well as the widercommunity Let us continue to let our light shinein hard times as well as in prosperity

Pohick Episcopal Church

We pray for peace in the Middle Eastespecially for the Church hellip in Egypt

- From the Pohick prayer list

When they had gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream ldquoGet uprdquo he said

ldquotake the child and his mother and escape to Egypt Stay there until I tell you for Herod

is going to search for the child to kill himrdquo - Mathew 213

In Christian (pre-)history the story of Joseph

in Exodus and the persecution of the Jews in Egyptstands out as one of the great heritages Later Jesusrsquosfamily escaped into Egypt to avoid the clutches ofHerod Egypt saved Joseph and his family as well as Jesusrsquo family and plays a role in many Bible stories Today Egypt has the largest percentage of Chris-tians in the Middle East is minority comprisesaround 12 of the population although some esti-mates put the gure as high as 20 Coptic Christianscomprise the overwhelming number of this minority

and their presence reaches back to the very beginningof Christianity Mark the Evangelist is by traditionconsidered to be the founder of the church in EgyptHe preached in Egypt and suered martyrdom in Al-exandria around the time Nero ruled in Rome (54-68 AD) Other Christian denominations such as An-glicans have very small congregations in the countryEgypt remained primarily a Christian country afterthe Arab conquest in 641 AD but is now the center ofSunni Islam in the world Up until about 20 years ago the Christian com-munities lived fairly peacefully among their Muslimneighbors However with the general turn in theMiddle East away from secularism and then the fall ofPresident Mubarak in 2011 the Coptic Church facedincreased persecution is increased after the electionof President Morsi from the Muslim Brotherhood in June 2012

In July 2013 the military staged a coup and re-moved Morsi from power e Coptic Pope TawadrosII supported the ouster and subsequently Christians

have been blamed for the coup A violent crackdownby the military-led government against Islamists in

August 2103 sparked deadly attacks against Chris-tians As evidence of the increasing threat in Decem-ber 2014 and January 2015 ISIS militants in Libyakidnapped and subsequently executed 21 CopticChristians e Egyptian military responded to thisatrocity with air strikes into Libya Egypt has many workers spread throughout the Middle East so thisis unfortunately likely only a forerunner of things tocome

e persecution of Christians in Egypt will likely

continue at low levels e government is institution-ally weak with the police and justice sectors not able tofulll their tasks Furthermore the legal code includesrestrictions on freedom of religion is minoritypopulation is large enough and the situation not toodire that unlike Syria and Iraq the population doesnot face extinction But on the individual level life will remain hard with this minority often becomingscapegoats based merely on religion As throughoutthe Middle East Christian persecution often stemsfrom oppressive government and with the reign ofPresident Sisi rmly in control little will likely changein the near future Remember the Egyptian CopticChurch in prayers with their 2000-year history andpray that this period of persecution will remain short

UPDATE ON ISSUES IN THE A NGLICAN COMMUNION

Don Brownlee Co-chair Policy and Planning Commission

is monthly report is part of the Vestryrsquos ongoing eort to in- form and update the Parish about the ongoing controversies withinTe Episcopal Church (EC) and the Anglican Communion Tese

controversies largely involve the blessing of same-sex unions ordi -nation of non-celibate homosexuals interpretation of Scripture andbreakdown of traditional boundary lines between Provinces

In mid-January the primates of the provinces of the Anglican Communion will gather in Canterbury for a piv-otal session on the future of the communion

e gathering was called by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in November to ldquodis-cuss key issues face to face includinga review of the structures of the An-glican Communion and to decidetogether their approach to the nextLambeth Conferencerdquo Archbishop Justin Welby said ldquoIhave suggested to all Primates that

we need to consider recent devel-opments but also look afresh at our ways of working asa Communion and especially as Primates paying properattention to developments in the pastrdquo As of this writing the agenda had not been announced

Abp Justin had said it would ldquobe set by common agreement with all Primates encouraged to send in contributions Itis likely to include the issues of religiously-motivated vio-lence the protection of children and vulnerable adults the

environment and human sexualityrdquo Abp Fred Hiltz primate of the Anglican Church ofCanada (ACC) said a number of his fellow primates wantan agenda that indeed ldquoreects notonly concerns within the domestic lifeof the churchrdquo - issues of relationshipsamong the provinces amid disagree-ments over human sexuality - but also

what he called ldquothe urgent issues with-in our common humanityhellip povertythe global refugee crisis and climatechangerdquo

After a meeting with Abp Justin in early December Abp Hiltz said in an interview with the Anglican Journalthat Abp Justin remained very open to that and he saidthat a lot of the primates are calling for an agenda thatreects both Abp Hiltz also said that he came away from theirmeeting ldquoencouragedrdquo by Abp Justinrsquos ldquoclarity in terms of

what the Primatesrsquo Meeting is and what itrsquos notrdquo e Primatesrsquo Meeting ldquois not a decision-making body- itrsquos a body for people that come together to pray and dis-cuss and discern and oer some guidance We donrsquot makeresolutionsrdquo Abp Hiltz said In addition to the 37 other primates Abp Justin in-

vited Abp Foley Beach head of the Anglican Church inNorth America (ACNA) ldquoto be present for part of thetimerdquo is phrasing was a way of both including and not

including ACNA and Abp Foley Most of the churchesof the ldquoGlobal Southrdquo recognize ACNA as an Anglicanprovince but e Episcopal Church Church of Canadaand Anglican Communion organizations do not ACNA isnot ldquoin communionrdquo with the See of Canterbury which isgenerally considered s one of the traditional requirementsof being an ldquoAnglicanrdquo church Churches of the Global South have generally refusedto participate in meetings that included e EpiscopaChurch in their words ldquoey were not prepared to share infellowship with provinces like e Episcopal Church of theUnited States (TEC) which had rejected the clear teaching

of Scripture and the collegial mind of previous PrimatesMeetings and the Lambeth Conference 1998 by pressingahead with the blessing of same sex unions and ordainingthose in such relationshipsrdquo ey called the upcoming ses-sion ldquoa courageous initiativehellipto nd a way to resolve thespiritual and moral crisis that has beset the Communionthroughout the opening years of the twenty rst centuryrdquo

ey said they would attend ldquoin the hope that Archbishop Welby will like them stand rm to guard the gospel welove knowing that we cannot rewrite the Bible to suit thespirit of a secular age ldquoe choice before the Primates as they gather in Can-terbury is whether they will recognize this reality and take

the dicult but necessary action to restore the bible to itscentral place in the life of the Communion or whetherthey will accept a merely cosmetic solution which will see itincreasingly taken captive by the dominant secular cultureof the Westrdquo Perhaps because of those sensitivities Abp Justinrsquos of-cial announcement called it a ldquogatheringrdquo rather than aldquomeetingrdquo Abp Hiltz said Abp Justin was quite clear that what-ever it was called it would not exclude any of the primateof churches that are members of the Anglican Commu-nion

ldquoHis principle is one of full inclusion of all the pri-mates I think he will encourage and if need be challengethe primates to uphold that principlerdquo Abp Hiltz said But leaders of the Global South have made clear thadivisions over human sexuality remain their key focusand they do expect decisions not just prayer discussionand discernment In his Christmas Pastoral Letter AbpEliud Wabukala Primate of Kenya and Chairman of theGAFCON Primatesrsquo Council praised a recent decision bythe Anglican provinces of the Sudan and South Sudan to

ACNA and end formal ties with e Episcopal Church

Continued on page 7




In a letter published following their meeting their bish-ops pointed in particular to the two resolutions adoptedthis summer by the General Convention on same-sex mar-

riages ldquoIn our view such innovations are not in conformity with the Scripturesrdquo the bishops wrote Abp Wabukala said ldquoe clarity and courage of thesebrothers is an encouragement to me as we prepare for

the meeting of Primates next monthhellip With many others I long to see our be-loved Communion united and its divi-sions healed but this must be in a way thattruly honours Jesus as Lord and head ofhis body the Church It is easy to be likeparents who by false kindness allow their

children to follow destructive patterns of behaviour but weare called to care for the household of God to guard thegospel of grace and to preach the word lsquoin season and outof seasonrsquo (2 Timothy 42)rdquo In a similar vein the Rev Canon Phil Ashey head ofthe American Anglican Council wrote in December thatto continue in communion with e Episcopal Churchand Church of Canada would be to ldquolet go of the truth

e truth is that e Episcopal Church in the US andthe Anglican Church of Canada have rejected the Biblicalhistoric Christian faith ere are many faithful individualsthat remain in those churches but as a whole these twoprovinces (and now the Scottish Episcopal Church) areoutside the bounds of Biblical Christianityrdquo

ldquoose Anglican churches that have legitimized samesex behavior and marriage have done so over and againstthe plain meaning of Holy Scripture atrsquos why the Arch-bishop of Canterbury is reduced to speaking about the im-portance of ldquoculture and contextrdquo Sin if it can be said toexist at all is simply a moving target It is not the heartsoul and conscience-ruining wreck that stems from ourfundamental rebellion against God and his high hopes forus It is simply what we dene shaped by our culture ourdesires what is politically correct and in every case apartfrom God and His word We donrsquot need to ldquocome homerdquo -

we are already at home with who we are and quite content

to remain that way ldquo lsquoSo whatrsquo you may say lsquoWhy does it matter as longas you get on helping the poor feeding the hungry serv-ing widows and orphans and others If you can keep yourtheology to yourself and get on with ldquomissionrdquo togetherisnrsquot that the most important thingrsquo No A church thatserves the poor but fails to faithfully preach the Gospeland disciple believers is missing the markhellipWhat a ter-rible bargain this new Communion vision asks us to enter- to exchange immutable truths and standards of right and

wrong for what is lsquoculturally and contextuallyrsquo correct Howmany secular relief organizations and NGOrsquos have madethat same bargain It does not make us a family much less

a church and even less a Communion of churches ldquoWhat brings us together as Anglicans isnrsquot sharedmission or endless indaba What brings us together as An-glicans is a common confession of Jesus Christ as Lord asrevealed in the Scripturesrdquo

Elsewhere bull In mid-December Presiding Bishop Michael Curryplaced three senior leaders of the churchrsquos executive staon administrative leave due to ldquoconcerns that have beenraised about possible misconduct in carrying out their du-tiesrdquo He did not specify the nature of the misconduct andstressed in a letter ldquoMy decision should not be confused

with a nding of fault but is necessary to allow us to ndclarity We are taking these allegations seriously and there

will be a full and fair examination of the concerns that havebeen raised to be conducted expeditiously by an indepen-dent investigator To protect the integrity of that process

we will not be able to say more about the concerns at thistime I also ask that we all refrain from speculation dicultthough that may be We all have a responsibility to protectthe integrity of all the human beings involved and also theintegrity of a fair and just process in this matterrdquo A week later he announced that a law rm CurleyHessinger amp Johnsrud LLP had been retained to reviewthe issues involved is announcement gave no additionadetails but the rmrsquos web site lists its practice areas as in-cluding employment advice and counseling and employ-ment litigation He said he expected to be briefed on thendings early in the new year e three are Chief Operating Ocer Bishop Stacy

Sauls Deputy Chief Operating Ocer and Director ofMission Samuel McDonald and Alex Baumgarten Di-rector of Public Engagement Bp Sauls also serves as thepresiding bishoprsquos chief of sta

bull Bp Michaelrsquos announcement that the three had beenplaced on leave presumably was a matter of some urgen-cy because he made it the same day he was released fromRichmond Hospital after undergoing surgery for a subdu-ral hematoma (small collection of blood between his brainand skull) He was hospitalized after falling ill and hav-ing some diculty nding words when speaking duringa visit to Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg on De-

cember 6th and underwent surgery December 8th He wareleased and went to his home in North Carolina at theend of that week where he was to ldquocontinue his healthcareregimen which includes physical therapy and occupationatherapyrdquo However statements on his illness said a full re-covery was anticipated

It is important to remember that despite all these controversies the work of thChurch - globally nationally and locally - goes on As Bp Susan observed we consciouslyrefuse to be a ldquomuseum churchrdquo Our Stewardship Commission continues to remind us ofthe ways we at Pohick carry out that work and spread the good News We continue to ldquobthe only Bible some people will ever readrdquo Trough youth mission trips food donations toLCAC donations of school supplies and backpacks the Gunston School tutoring programand the Community of Hope Pohick continues to ldquoleak the love of Godrdquo to those in need

From the Rector continued from page 1

F OOD P ANTRY

e rst Sunday of each month Pohick collectsnon-perishable food items that are contributed tothe Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC)food pantry Please consider bringing in an itemor two to include as a part of the alms givingFood can always be dropped o any time and leftin the Common Room

And so I spent a good deal of time literally enter-ing into a database the attendance numbers of everySunday service held since 2002 (my rst full year as

Rector) What I found is a general decline in churchattendance across those fourteen years overall follow-ing a troubling trend among all mainline churchesduring that same period

But while those declines were relatively modest forthe early and late services - 25 (17 worshipers) and27 (19 worshipers) respectively - the service withthe largest percentage (and numerical) decline overthat period is our middle or ldquofamilyrdquo service with a whopping decrease of 32 or 70 worshipers per Sun-day on average

Although we donrsquot keep track of who attends whatservice the nature of that middle servicersquos populationsuggests that those absent worshipers are mostly chil-dren and their parents is supposition is supportedby attendance records from our Sunday school fromthat same timeframe which give an average class at-tendance of 75 students in 2002 and only 35 studentslast year - a 53 decrease So it is fairly clear that mostof our decline in church attendance over the past de-cade-and-a-half is a decrease in young families

My initial interpretation of these numbers is thatthey rstly reect a shift in demographics at is where we once had Baby Boomer children (aka ldquoMil-lennialsrdquo) swelling the ranks of our Sunday school and youth group most of those children have long sincegone on to college and jobs elsewhere - and in somecases their parents have stopped attending or havedone so less frequently

Conversely there are relatively fewer ldquoGen-Xrdquo par-ents with children coming up behind them Whatrsquosmore in our immediate neighborhoods at least many

immigrants from the Far and Near East have movedin and they are less attracted to Christianity becauseof other religious aliations making evangelism moreof a challenge

Economic issues have also come into play as a lotof younger families have now found it too expensiveto live in Fairfax County - and so they are moving tomore aordable homes in Loudon Prince Williamand Staord Counties

Lastly a proliferation of sports teams school or-ganizations and extracurricular clubs have arisen over

these past fteen years whose leadership no longerhold Sunday mornings to be sacrosanct us the chil-dren and teens who are currently members of our con-gregation generally attend worship services Sundayschool classes and youth programs less frequently than

in the past ere are almost certainly more underlying fac-tors at work here but irrespective of these the bottomline is clear we have to work harder to attract youngerfamilies and to keep them more regularly involved inour common Christian life Some of the actions wehave taken in our continuing ldquoLet Your Light SoShinerdquo campaign have helped in this regard includingthe Brotherhood of St Andrewrsquos sponsorship of a BoyScout troop and the formation of a post-high schooscholarship fund mentioned above

Yet because of the pressing nature of this concernI am calling upon the Vestry and congregation this year to focus upon developing specic measures wecould take to reach out to these young families and welcome them into our church family while ndingnew ways to encourage a more robust involvement ofour young people within our youth programs is willbe the major theme of our Vestry retreat this year andit will be reected in one or more January forums thatcome out of it

It may well be that changing service times wouldbe helpful in this regard though I am presently notsold on the idea But whatever the case may be on thatissue I know that with the help of our incredibly tal-ented sta Vestry and overall congregation we will besuccessful in discerning Godrsquos will for us so that wecan discover new ways to heed Jesusrsquo command to bap-tize teach and make disciples of all nations (Matthew2819-20) It is in this Spirit that I look forward to anincredibly fruitful 2016 condent of Godrsquos continuedblessings upon our mission and ministries at Pohick
