The cast of the Epiphany Drama
Dear Friends:
IT IS A GREAT JOY AND PRIVILEGE for me to be with you at Christ Church, Deer Parkand to be able to share with you in the worship and life here in the coming months.Your warmth of welcome to me has been greatly appreciated. I am concious of all thatGod has given to this great parish over the years and I join with you in expressinggratitude for the ministry of Judy Rois over the last six years.
As we move into this New Year, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a veryHappy New Year! I hope this new year, and indeed the whole year, will be happy for you and for the causes that concern you. And I hope that you will be happy notsimply in some superficial sense of the absence of things that irritate or annoy or thepresence of things that give us momentary pleasure, but happy in the more biblicalsense of blessed.
I hope that you will be blessed this year: that whatever lies ahead of you, this year, itwill involve some deepening of your experience, some lessening of your fear and anxietyand the replacement of a facile optimism that this is the best of all possible worldswith an enduring trust that “all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.”
In the blessings that we may receive this year, if we are open enough to receive them,we may expect that our faith, our sense of God, will be one source, maybe a funda-mental source of blessing.
We may discover through our week-by-week gathering here at CCDP clues abouthow to be better people by reinforcing our shared values and our sense of what isimportant in human life. The sense of God which we glean through our worship, ouropenness to God’s word in scripture, our sharing of bread and wine, and our care forone another, give us resources for living, and living creatively and humanly in a worldthat often seems to have lost its capacity for creativity and humanity. That, I think isnot an insubstantial blessing for us at the beginning of a new year.
At Christmastide, we heard and read that “grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”(John 1:17). In the person of Jesus Christ we are given something – grace and truth –John calls it – that far exceeds anything we can do, measure, earn or control; and it isthat something – grace and truth – that can transform our lives. Because of the lifeand ministry and, in particular, the dying and rising of Jesus, we have become whatwe are made to be, the children of God, sons and daughters – intimates with Godand sharers of the divine life.
Into that divine intimacy we are invited every day of our lives. The blessing of our life

Lent Learning’sThe observance of Lent is an ancient practice. In 203 AD St.Irenaeus wrote to Pope St. Victor I, regarding the differencesin the practices of communities leading up to Easter. In this21st century, the rhythm of Lent does not always fit into ourlives. People observe Lent in different ways and with differentintent. This year we are pleased to be able to offer you threedifferent opportunities for observing Lent. Our hope is thatone of these opportunities will fit with the rhythm of yourlife and offer you an opportunity to observe an intentionalLent.
40 Day Journey with Dietrich BonhoefferToward the end of his life, in a letter to a friend writtenfrom his prison cell, Bonhoeffer confessed: “What is bother-ing me most incessantly is the question of what Christianityreally is, or indeed, who Christ really is, for us today.”(Letters and Papers from Prison, 279, from the Preface of ‘40-Day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer’).
It is – or should be – a perennial question.
This observance of Lent can be done individually, as a couple, or in a group. Those participating will require thebook, which is available from Samantha (cost $15.00).There will be two meetings: the first on Ash Wednesday(time to be confirmed), will be to answer any questionsabout how to use the book throughout Lent. The secondmeeting will be sometime in Holy Week, at a time agreed on by the participants, to check in about the journey.During the 40 day journey Samantha will be available byemail, telephone or appointment for participants.
Sundays in Lent – Lunch and LearnAt 11:30am on Sundays, March 13th, 20th, and 27th, joinTom Greene in the Arthur Smith Room for a look at thereadings for Lent.

Costumes, Prophets and Justice!HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you all laughter, adventure andlearning for 2011!
This is a bittersweet time of year for me. I am excited for anew term in PromiseLand, and all the great things we haveplanned for the kids. I am also excited to welcomeArchdeacon Thomas Greene and have the opportunity towork closely with him. But I am sad to say goodbye toRector Judy Rois and I will really miss the energy and lovethat she brought into our community.
I would also like to take this opportunity to extend a hugethank you to everyone who assisted with our ChristmasPageant. What a dynamic and fun way to end the year! Iwould especially like to thank Norm Nurmi for composingthe beautiful song “On the Road to Bethlehem” —- thekids had such fun singing it! We hope that next year’s pageant can be even bigger and better!
This winter season, the kids of PromiseLand will be exploringthe Prophets of the Old Testament - Micah, Isaiah andAmos - and learning about their struggle for justice. Wewill then embark on our own journey for justice by writingletters to our governments and showing them how muchwe care about bringing justice to our world.
I’m looking forward to continuing to laugh and learn withthe inspiring kids of CCDP!

HELLO! MY NAME IS ROB WALKER, and I have had the privilege of serving this community as a Theological Intern.This fancy term means I want to be a priest when I growup, but I’m still finding my way around. I wanted to tellyou all what a deep joy being part of this parish has been.The website says “There’s Life Here!” and that the parishtries to include everyone; but I have to tell you, the websitedoesn’t do justice to how fabulous and welcoming you all are!
It’s been a blast to shake your hands every week and to have surprising, but always very helpful, conversations: fromtalking about unity in the Church with the Rev. KarenHamilton, discussing with someone in the Wednesdaymorning crew about whether or not evil exists, to spendingtime with the Anglican Church Workers thinking about theimportance of lay ministry and priestly humility in theChurch. You will all continue to be in my prayers.
As I leave for my second internship in the Diocese ofRupert’s Land (Winnipeg) after the Christmas season, Iwould like to encourage you all to remember: even in thistime of difficult transition - of sadness and gratitude butalso of new beginnings - God is with you! The Spirit isblowing through like a fresh breeze, and I suspect that weall can feel it in our own ways. One moment stood out forme in a recent Sunday service. The music was fabulous asusual (thanks Eric!), and people seemed so caught up in theSpirit of things that some people just kept praying the firstprayer, the collect, with David Neelands! Since we’re allAnglicans who like our liturgy “decently and in order,” the
voices soon dropped off, and David finished the prayeralone. I remember thinking to myself: “Oh, please don’tstop! Keep going!” Sometimes, I think the Holy Spiritloves to gently nudge us away from what we expect intosomething a little odd and always life-giving.
You all understand this, because you have such a firm commitment in your hearts to welcoming the strangerand doing justice for people, even when it doesn’t quiteseem convenient. Speaking as a lowly ministry student, stillfinding my feet, it seems to me that God has new placesfor you to go, despite all the changes and difficulties thatlie ahead. Expect good things to happen! Thank you allso much for mentoring me, and I look forward to seeingyou again. God “can do infinitely more than we can askor imagine” and I look forward to hearing about whatthat means for Christ Church Deer Park. Remember:God is with you!
Rob Walker,Theological Intern
A Farewell Message from Rob Walker
Rob with St. Nicholas (George Lewis)
Lay Pastoral VisitingTHE CLERGY OF CCDP are currently exploring the viabilityof creating a lay pastoral visitors program. Lay pastoral visit-ing is a recognized healing ministry of the Diocese where lay members of a congregation are trained and supervised by clergy to pastoral visit members of the congregation whomay be ill, shut-in or otherwise unable to participate in regular parish activities. Lay pastoral visiting is much morethen simply “friendly visiting”. Lay pastoral visitors aretrained in the field of pastoral spiritual and religious care. As such, visitors are expected to observe those standards whichrelate to the Responsible Ministry policies of the Diocese.All lay pastoral visitors must therefore be interviewed andscreened for this ministry and must attend a six week trainingprogram planned for late February / early March 2011.
Lay pastoral visiting can be a rewarding ministry for thosewho believe they are called to a ministry which brings thepresence of Christ into the homes of those unable to attendpublic worship.
Those who may be interested in learning more about thisministry can attend a information session led by Rev. CanonDouglas Graydon on Feb. 13th after the 10:00am service ormay contact Fr. Graydon at 416-363-6021 ext 236 [email protected]

Brian BuckinghamAugust 27, 1939 - January 4, 2011
From the eulogy given by JRThornton at the Funeral Liturgyheld for Brian on January 10th.
TODAY WE ARE GATHEREDtogether to mourn the loss of adear friend, Brian Buckingham,This was Brian’s spiritual home,
a place that he loved and, was loved and respected by all.
Brian had a huge impact on the life of this Church. and it was here, some 20 years ago, that I first met him at a meeting of the Outreach Committee.
Outreach is an important part of the life of this community;it involves looking beyond ourselves, helping those less fortunate (especially the outcasts of society) while recognizingthe value of each person.
Brian was passionate about caring for those persons in need,without judgment and with love. He believed in reallydoing something for people, not just sending a cheque,which he also did with great generosity, as most of you know.
When this parish decided to start an Out of the Cold program, Brian and Yvonne were among the first to volunteer.They were the Captains of a dinner Team, preparing andserving dinner while providing companionship and supportto about one hundred homeless men and women on coldSaturday nights in the Winter.
Our friendship blossomed as we worked together in theOut of the Cold Program and on the Outreach Committee.He really knew how to take care of business and at the same time be kind, humorous, humane and generous. Thehomeless people, our guests, loved him.
But more than that, Brian was a guide and an inspirationfor this and many of the other outreach programs that thisparish undertook under his leadership, including financial support of other charities such as LOFT, The DowntownChurch Workers, The Churches on the Hill Food Bank andmany others.
He supported the organization of other programs, includinga prenatal program in Malawi, a Community Breakfast onSaturdays and a cooking class for clients of LOFT who werepreparing to re-enter society.
In all these and many other outreach projects, and in the
overall life of this parish, Brian made a difference..a real difference.
He was an inspiration, a colleague and, most important, a treasured friend. We will all miss him greatly.
TWO FASCINATING EVENINGS of musical exploration with Dr,Michael O’Connor. 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the Arthur Smith RoomNo specialized musical knowledge required!
Tuesday, April 5Exploring Mozart’s Requiem
Unfinished at his death, Mozart’s masterful Requiem remainsan enigma, generating much romantic speculation and controversy. This talk will offer a commentary on the music,illustrated with recorded examples. We will also explore thesecretive genesis of the work, the possible cause of Mozart’suntimely death, and his widow Constanze’s efforts to have thescore completed.
Tuesday, April 12Exploring Elgar’s /Dream of Gerontius
Elgar’s setting of John Henry Newman’s imaginative evocation of the journey of the soul to God is now a treasureof the England choral tradition. But it was not always so:from the beginning, the work was controversial for musicaland theological reasons. This talk will offer a guided listeningto this radiant and hope-filled meditation on life after death.
Dr Michael O’Connor is a lecturer at St Michael’s College in the University ofToronto. He studied at the PontificalGregorian University in Rome and at theUniversity of Oxford, where he completed a doctorate on early modern biblical exegesis.A former Warden of the Royal School ofChurch Music (RSCM) in the UK, he is a
member of the Board of RSCM Canada. His interests includethe relationships between scripture, theology, worship, andthe arts (especially music).
