Rector’s Message Dear Friends in Christ, I’ve surprisingly found myself becoming increasingly interested in watching and listening to the myriad of potential candidates surfacing as we brace for another presidential election. I have channel-surfed the various networks and find myself becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of thoughtful and intelligent engage-ment the potential candidates have with those with opposing points of view. It has reminded me that the tendency to not engage with those that think differently than us is not limited to politics but is a sad reality in most other areas of our lives. Last week a seasonal parishioner sent me a copy of a brief article a mutual friend of ours wrote for the local paper in her community. The Reverend Barbara Sajna is the rector of St. Luke’s Church in Sister Bay, Wiscon-sin. Jill and I have had the pleasure of getting to know Barbara over the years and always look forward to seeing her when we visit the Church of the Atonement in Fish Creek, Wisconsin in the summer. Mother Barbara is one of the most thoughtful, articulate and open-minded priests I know. Her gentle demeanor and genuine interest in others endears her to most everyone she meets. I found her brief article published in the Saturday, February 21, 2015, edition of the Door County Advocate to be right on the mark and worthy of sharing with you. Mother Barbara’s words are not only good words for Lent, but clearly applicable for the rest of the Church year too.

“That guy must be an idiot—-or is he?”

At a recent clergy retreat, the focus of discussion was communication in the face of disagreement. How do we talk when we disagree?

Those who are familiar with church history are aware that there have always been disa-greements in the church. But it’s pretty impossible to miss the fact that there are disagree-ments in the wider society as well, particularly these days in the political arena. So the question is a timely one.

The bishop who presented the retreat pointed out that we often have a simplistic, three-step process in confronting opponents. First we assume that they must just be ignorant and that, if they only knew the facts as we did, they would agree with us.

When that doesn’t work, we often slip to what he called the “idiot” criticism—they don’t agree? They must be idiots. And then, worst of all, the next step is the move to demonizing: they don’t agree, the must just be evil.

We all know, of course, that as finite human beings, we’re never going to know it all—we’ll always be limited in our knowledge, or our perspectives, or by our abilities or opportu-nities. So in any social setting, whether the church or the wider society, we have to be pre-pared to admit that we might be wrong. And, we should also be prepared to try to cast our opponent’s position in the best possible light before we dismiss it. As we move further and further into partisan positions, however, and into metaphorical “gated” communities by only talking with those who agree with us and gathering our

Page 3 March/April, 2015

information from sources that substantiate only our opinions, being able to see different points of view (let alone admitting the possibility that we might be wrong!) becomes more and more difficult.

Looking at this from the point of view of a democracy, recent movements like the civility movement have cautioned us that a healthy democracy requires conversation around disagree-ment. Looking at this from the point of view of the church, we have Jesus’ summary of the law in those two commandments to love God and neighbor. I’m writing this article on Ash Wednesday, and part of the liturgy on this day as well as in most Sunday services is the recognition and confession that we fail to do that.

Part of our failure is a misunderstanding of that word “love,” which has become overlaid in our culture with either romantic ideas or ideas of warm and fuzzy emotions. But love here means neither of those things: instead it means the recognition of connection and the responsi-bility that flows from the connection.

One way to think of this is to remember Paul’s idea of the Body of Christ—we’re all part of it, interdependent, woven together. Another way to think of it is as an interconnected web of existence. Everything we do or say affects the whole. We might prefer to live as isolated indi-viduals, exercising our rights as we please but, as one commentator recently said in regard to the measles vaccination situation, your right to swing your fist stops just before my nose.

Whether we like it or not, we are not isolated beings, but social beings, connected with one another and with all creation. Love in this biblical sense is the recognition of that connection and the willingness to live accordingly.

Perhaps all of us first learn about that kind of love in families where we come to under-stand that kind of connection and find both the necessity and willingness to make sacrifices for the common good. In that regard, the family can become that training ground for love, which then allows us to expand that understanding in broader and broader circles, so that we can un-derstand the underlying truth of the parable of the Good Samaritan that our neighbor is anyone in need.

One final thought from that same retreat—that we love God only insofar as we love our neighbor. In fact, the presenter suggested that we can say that love God only as much as we love that neighbor that we Love the least. Good thoughts for Lent. The Rev. Barbara Sajna, Rector St. Luke’s Episcopal Reprinted from the Door County Advocate

Rector’s Message

Page 4 March/April 2015

Message from the Senior Warden Dear Friends in Christ,

In the midst of the busyness of "high season" in Naples, and the busy program calendar at Trinity-by-the-Cove, it seems hard to believe that only six weeks from now we will be celebrating Father Michael Basden's retirement and the end of Michael and Jill's ministry at Trinity-by-the-Cove. Father Michael has been our Rector for over fifteen years and he will be the first Rector of Trinity-by-the-Cove ever to retire at Trinity. This is an important milestone in the history of our parish and it is an appropriate time for us to reflect upon, be thankful for, and to celebrate Michael and Jill's many accomplishments and contributions to our parish and larger community.

Under Father Michael's care and leadership, Trinity has blossomed and grown during the last fifteen years into a vibrant and spirit-filled parish that not only serves the population of our community, but acts as an example and resource for other Episcopal churches in our diocese and nation. By all objective measures, his rectorship has been a smashing success. He has grown the adult membership of our parish, drastically increased the amount of children and young families who have become members, established outstanding Christian formation programs for children, youth and adults, maintained an outstanding worship and liturgy experience which includes an extraordinary music program, attracted and mentored outstanding associate clergy and staff members, doubled the endowment, doubled the pledge income of the parish, conducted mul-tiple successful capital campaigns to allow for the expansion and improvement of church facilities and pro-grams, created opportunities for parish members to engage in hands on service through the service commis-sion, ensured that Trinity has continued to support and promote charity work in Collier County through the grant commission, and he has supported and created numerous individual church programs for almost every possible Christian ministry group imaginable from bible studies and EfM to icon painting classes and fruit canning groups.

Father Michael is a gifted preacher, leader, administrator, mentor, and friend. His many strengths have been augmented by the many strengths and gifts which Jill has shared with our parish. Although I am sure that we will all miss Michael and Jill and their leadership, what I will miss most about them is their unique approach and way of being. While the accomplishments noted above are impressive, they do not and cannot truly convey the spirit in which they have been achieved or the spirit that Michael and Jill have infused into Trinity. Michael and Jill have always made Trinity a place of lightness of being -- a place where despite our struggles, fears and problems, we can experience hope, joy and love. Father Michael does not take himself too seriously, is quick to joke (often at his own expense) and somehow manages to stay grounded in the love, joy and lightness of the Holy Spirit while navigating in the real world. I am sure that we have all experi-enced this lightness at one time or another. It is rare to find and know a priest who has been blessed with such a light and loving spirit along with a talent for leadership, organization and administration.

On behalf of all Trinitarians, I would like to thank Michael and Jill for their faithful service and outstand-ing ministry work. I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that as a result of Michael and Jill's Minis-try, Trinity-by-the Cove has become a shining example of what a Christian church can and should be -- a place of worship, prayer, celebration, learning, fellowship, service, love, and transformation in and through Christ. Thanks be to God for Michael and Jill's gifts and for the wonderful place that we have all co-created with them! As many of you know, Father Michael's last day at Trinity-by-the-Cove will be on Sunday, April 12, and we are planning a party that evening to celebrate his retirement. The entire parish is invited and details are included in this issue of the Trinitarian. Please mark your calendars so that you do not miss this event.

Thank you for your continued support and thank you in advance for your support of Father Michael and Jill as we celebrate Michael’s retirement. Michael D. Moore, Senior Warden

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd I remember as a little girl that I loved going to bed. I have a vivid memory of kneeling by my bed with my two brothers,

one on each side, and my Dad behind us, with his arms around all of us. "Our Father who art in Heaven..." I don't think I knew all of the words to the Lord's Prayer at age three, but I do remember the comfort and joy I felt wrapped in my father's arms. As an adult, I still find joy in my Heavenly Father's loving arms.

Because the greatest need and capacity of young children is for relationship, and celebration of that relationship, our children are the ones who are the most open to and delighted with God's gifts; therefore the child also has a tremendous capacity for prayer. "Life in the atrium is a place of prayer, a place of listening and responding to God, a place where work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation and prayer." Sofia Cavelletti, founder of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, through her 50+ years observing and working with children, believed it is from praying with children that we have learned most about the difference between the religious worlds of the child and the adult. It is here that we have learned the need for respect and reverence. In the atrium, we too recognize the varied ways young children prayer-fully respond to God:

•their becoming very quiet and still when listening to God's Word or watching a liturgical presentation •their delight with the message we share with them; sighs of pleasure, smiles and light in their eyes •their spoken and sung prayers •their engagement in the work of their hands following a presentation

To honor the mystery of the child means to honor their most natural form of response to God, their most natural form of prayer. For the younger children this will primarily be praise and thanksgiving. For the older child, in addition to praise and thanksgiving, the need and capacity arise for intercessory prayer and penitential prayer. How many of us have heard the spontaneity of a child praying? Their prayer focuses on the many gifts God gives us. “Thank you for the light!” “Thank you for everything!” “Thank you because I am one of your sheep!” “Jesus is wonderful!”

Little children tend to pray with few words. However, this does not mean that the child prays only for a short time. The inner spirit of the child’s prayer lasts a long time. We often notice moments of silence during a prayer or following a prayer. For example, a one year old child may be still and quiet after watching a Naples sunset, or a flock of pelicans fly overhead. This silence is considered prayer.

Actually, silence is an essential element in helping children’s prayer. More than the silence that occurs during their prayer, our children long for that which is quiet and still; pretty hard to find in today’s world. As adults, we often think that prayer is “talking with God”. Children understand prayer is first listening to God and being aware of His presence. May we nourish that special need for listening by creating time and space for silence. For it is in the silence that God speaks to us, and we listen and respond.

Controlled movement is another aid to prayer. Slowing our bodies, kneeling, folding our hands, bowing our heads, are all movements which lead a child to stillness and quiet. These gestures also become a language of prayer for our chil-dren. The gesture of peace and the signing of the cross offer still other ways for the children to respond to God's gifts.

With our respectful and observant attitude, may the children lead us to "listening with God".

Artwork is prayer!

Maundy Thursday

Liturgy and Prayer Watch April 2nd , 6:00 p.m.

T he Maundy Thursday Eucharist commemorates the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Com-

munion and Christ’s giving of the new command-ment to love one another as he loved us. Although we are on the threshold of Good Friday, the Eucha-rist is celebrated with solemn joy. The celebrant begins and those present may follow in the sharing of the washing of feet as Jesus mandated. This is an expressive symbol of the coming of God’s Kingdom through the ministry and service of his followers who are nourished by the heavenly food of his ban-quet table.

The Altar of Repose reminds us of the Garden of Gethsemane, in which Jesus spent three agonizing hours between the Last Supper and his arrest. Addi-tional bread and wine is consecrated at this Eucha-rist. This reserved sacrament is placed on the altar where it will remain until the Good Friday liturgy.

The Maundy Thursday Prayer Watch begins at the conclusion of the liturgy and continues throughout the night until Good Friday morning.

Parishioners are encouraged to join in the Prayer Watch by signing up for a time slot, either an hour

or half hour. The church remains open and parish-ioners are asked to keep the light burning while praying and/or meditating in the church. Jesus asked his disciples, “Could you not watch with me one hour?” What is our reply? Please sign the roster when it appears in the Narthex of the Church.

Good Friday April 3rd, noon

O n this day, God’s Friday, we falter before the enormity of the Cross. The

liturgy of Good Friday is a solemn time of re-membering Christ’s Passion. The Altar is bare and we kneel in silence. The silence is broken by prayer:

Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family for which our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, given up into the hands of sinners and to suffer death upon the cross.

In the readings we hear Isaiah’s prophecy of the suffering Servant, we are reminded of Christ’s perfect sacrifice, and finally, we stand on Calvary’s hill at the foot of the Cross with St. John.

In the silence, which accompanies each of the solemn collects, we are invited to join the pain and sorrows of humanity to Christ’s suf-fering. A cross is brought into our midst, the symbol of God’s great outpouring of love for us.

By your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

We confess our sins and pray the Lord’s Prayer. There is no Eucharist on this day. In-stead, we receive Holy Communion from the sacrament consecrated the night before on Maundy Thursday. We give thanks and leave in silence.

The Great Vigil of Easter

Holy Saturday April 4th , 8:00 p.m.

T he oldest liturgy of the Christian Church is that of Easter Eve and the Easter Vigil. It con-

sists of lighting the Paschal Candle, reading of scripture, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, and the first Eucharist of Easter.

The congregation gathers outside the dark-ened church. A new fire is struck and the Paschal Candle, the symbol of the Risen Christ, is lighted. The procession moves into the church with every-one holding hand candles. A cantor chants, “The light of Christ,” and the people respond, “Thanks be to God!

As the faithful enter the church, light from the candles expels darkness, so has Christ overcome death. The ancient Christian hymn, Exsultet, is sung. The lessons that trace the history of salva-tion are read.

The Easter-eve baptisms take place in the light of the Paschal Candle, symbol of the new light of the Risen Christ. This great candle is lighted for all baptisms and funerals throughout the coming year to remind us of this moment. The Eucharist begins with the celebrant’s proclamation, “Alleluia, Christ is Risen!” The tower bell rings and the or-gan echoes its jubilant reply. The Eucharists of Easter Eve and Easter Day celebrate the first and greatest of the Church’s fes-tivals. In our Easter communion, the risen Lord comes to us once more to nourish us with the life he gave us in baptism—a life that cannot be taken away or destroyed even by death.

El Hogar Orphanage children enjoying a special Pizza lunch sponsored by parishioners Sandy and Chuck Abookire.

D uring February parishioners Lydia Kerr and Lisa Murray visited the El Hogar Orphanage

in Hondurus which is supported by the Women of Trinity. The Orphanage was started by Episcopal expats who found children living in cardboard box-es in their doorway. They rented an apartment for them and sent them to school. As more children came, the local church took over and eventually the Episcopal Ministries of USA and Canada became involved. A Canadian firm donates new uniforms each year. One church in Boston sponsors 60 chil-dren! The children not only receive an education and learn a trade, but also so much love and devo-tion from a minimal staff.

Thank you to the Women of Trinity for continuing their support for these poor children.

Being a Trinitarian Having fun, sharing a meal, raising funds for outreach, teaching our

girls to sew dresses for AIDS orphans in Africa, praying while writ-ing an icon, hearing the Lord’s word, listening and learning about our Naples heritage. Some of the happenings in February!

Education for Ministry

Education for Ministry

Y ou may have heard some people in the congrega-tion talk about EfM and wondered what it is.

Even when you were told that EfM stands for Education for Ministry you were still baffled. What does that mean? Or, maybe you have never heard about EfM. However, EfM must be interesting when you have such people as Mick Moore, Mike McDonnell, Sara Ridge-way, Diana Harrison, Mike Durant, Mary Madison and Russell Tuff, having graduated from the course. And this spring John Robb, Mason Ayres, Mike Moore, Susie Martinsen, Dorothy Lowrie and I will be graduating and Art Neumann and Donald Stitt will enter their fourth year of study in the fall. So, let me tell you a bit about it.

EfM is a unique program of theological study of our Christian faith. An EfM group has a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve students who meet with a trained mentor weekly for two and a half hours over the course of a nine-month academic year. The course takes four years to complete and is broken up into these courses of study:

Year One: The Old Testament Year Two: The New Testament Year Three: Church History Year Four: Theology, Ethics, Interfaith Encounter

An EfM group is defined by its harmony of purpose. It is not simply a Bible study group, not a religious study course, but a small community of people focused on study, worship and meaningful discussions. Through study, prayer and reflection EfM groups move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God’s kingdom.

Study:

Participants are given weekly assignments to study with t help of resource guides. They are responsible for setting their own goals. In the seminars members have an opportunity to share their insights and discoveries as well as to discuss questions that the study materials

Page 12 March/April 2015

raise for them. The focus is on discussion, not de-bate, as the class covers historical biblical stories as well as meaningful current issues.

Reflection:

Theological Reflection is the hallmark of EfM. The goal is to learn to think theologically. By examin-ing their own beliefs and their relationship to our culture and the tradition of our Christian faith, participants can learn what it means to be effective ministers in the world. In coming to terms with the notion that everything we do has potential for manifesting the love of Christ, we discover that our ministry is at hand wherever we turn.

Worship: The seminar is supported by a life of prayer and regular worship. My personal experience with EfM is that it is in-spiring, educational, challenging, fun, deep and rewarding. It is a cornerstone of an open discus-sion with fellow believers, regardless of their level of bible understanding and knowledge. Trust is developed and friendships are formed. I encourage any of you who think you might be interested, or who just want to know more about EfM, to contact me or talk to any of the current or graduated participants. We will all be very happy to share our thoughts about and experiences in EfM. Trish Williams Mentor

Standing Notices The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is celebrated at the Easter Vigil, the Day of Pentecost, All Saints’ Day or the Sunday after All Saints’ Day, and on the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord (the First Sunday after the Epiphany). Baptisms are reserved for these occasions or when the Bishop is present.

The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is offered to members of the parish, in good standing, and members of their immediate family. Lent is not a suitable season.

It is expected for the parish office to be informed when a member of the parish is hospitalized in order to secure the ministrations of the church.

The Sacrament of Holy Unction is administered at the Healing Service on the second Thursday of each month at 12:00 p.m.
