Greetings sisters and brothers in Christ,
I wish you all could have been with me this past week in Nashville for Re-Sounding Campus Ministry. I am thankful that church council made it possible for me to attend.
The opening presentation, by Rev. Becca Stevens, Episcopal Chaplain at St Augustine's Chapel at Vanderbilt University, founder of Magdalene a two-year residential community founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1997 for women with a history of prostitution and drug addiction. Magdalene was founded not just to help a sub-culture of women, but to help change the culture itself. They stand in solidarity with women who are recovering from sexual abuse, violence, and life on the streets, and who have paid dearly for a culture that buys and sells women like commodities.
Thistle Farms, http://www.thistlefarms.org/founder.html is a non-profit business operated by the women of Magdalene. They make by hand bath and body products which are environmentally responsible. The jobs help the women gain experience to re-enter the work force.
Other presenters included Amy Jill Levine, Professor of New Testament at Vanderbilt University Divinity School, who presented on the differences between how Jews and Christians interpret Scripture , and Betty DeBerg, from UNI, and Director of the National Study of Campus Ministry. There were two musical experiences, Alathea, two women from East Tennessee who had an incredible blend of folk, porch mountain music, and story telling, always with a Christ-centered focus. The other musician was Peter Mayer, well know in many circles as part of Jimmy Buffet's band.
Enough of my excitement. As you all know, things are exciting here at UniLu, with the expected visit of the prospective new pastor's visit coming up next weekend. (Saturday 4-19 and Sunday 4-20)
This week, in addition to Feast Incarnate tonight:
Thursday, Mid-week Eucharist resumes, commemorating Mikael Agricola, Bishop of Turku, died 1557
At 10 past noon, we will gather around the font for a brief mid-day eucharist. Mikael Agricola, was consecrated bishop of Turku, Finland, without the approval of the pope, Agricola began a reform along Lutheran lines. In only three years, he translated the New Testament and worship texts into Finnish, in the process establishing the rules of Finnish writing that are still used today.
