Archbishop Foley Beach issues a call for solidarity

By Archbishop Foley Beach

In the wake of the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Archbishop Beach writes to encourage the Church to show tangible support for our Jewish neighbors.

This week I have been grieving for those directly affected by the shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, and I have been grieving for all of us who have been touched by this evil.  I hope that you will find ways to reach out to our Jewish neighbors and friends in the midst of this painful and frightening time.

I am encouraged to hear reports of our members in Pittsburgh who have responded in love, and I am thankful to those churches around our Province who are planning to join local synagogues this Friday night in a show of solidarity.  I want to commend the #ShowUpForShabbat initiative for your consideration. 

Shabbat is the Jewish Sabbath and it begins at sunset on Friday night and runs until sunset on Saturday night.  This is an opportunity to do something tangible and supportive; meeting at local synagogues and letting our neighbors know that they are not alone. 

David Harris, one of the organizers, has put it this way: “The community of conscience must stand as one, whether in the face of the hate-motivated attack against a black church in Charleston, which took nine lives, or a synagogue in Pittsburgh, which took 11 lives.  We are determined to ensure that love triumphs over hate, good over evil, unity over division. That’s our America.”

Please consider joining, but also please be mindful and sensitive to the dynamics in your local area.  Some Jewish communities may be thankful for the public show of support, and others may be nervous at having unfamiliar faces at the synagogue on Friday.  Both reactions are understandable, so as the organizers suggest, “please reach out to a member of the Synagogue or the Synagogue staff in order to assure that the Synagogue is able to accommodate your desire to attend.”

The Most Rev. Foley Beach is Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America.

Optional Lunchtime Breakout Sessions

1. “Advance Care Planning”…What does this new phrase being used in the healthcare industry mean for the elderly, terminally ill, and disabled? This workshop will explain all the terms like “Comfort Care,” “Medical/Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment,” “Hospice,” “Palliative Care,” “DNR’s” and “Advance Directives” and the positive and negative impact each can have on patients. We’ll discuss when they should or should not be employed, whether for you or your loved ones. We will also examine patients’ rights and how families need to be involved to ensure they get the best care.

The Rev. Georgette Forney, Deacon, is President of Anglicans for Life, the only global Anglican ministry dedicated to helping the Church address issues at the beginning and end of life, including abortion, abstinence, adoption, euthanasia, and embryonic stem cell research. She is also the co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, an effort to raise awareness about the physical, spiritual and emotional harm abortion does to women and to let those who are hurting from abortion know help is available.

The Rev. Scott Bailey is an assisting priest at Christ Church in South Riding, VA. He also serves on the chaplain team for University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health Systems and is an endorsed chaplain, licensed by the ACNA Special Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy. 

2. Islam At Our Doorstep…Never have believers in America had a better opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with their Muslim neighbors! Our area is home to one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the U.S. with over 400,000 Muslims, 75 mosques and the two largest mosque complexes in the nation. Yet many of us feel timid around Muslims and are hesitant to meet and talk with them. Come and be encouraged as we consider what God is doing among American Muslims today and how each of us can effectively communicate Christ's love with them.

The Rev. Robert Watkin is the founder and president of the Oasis Life Network, an organization aimed at equipping and mobilizing the church for effective ministry among Muslims. Robert served for 15 years at The Falls Church Anglican, most recently as the Director of Outreach. In the 1990s, he lived in the Republic of Kazakhstan and taught English at Aktau University for five years, helped launch an educational center for the community and planted a multi-ethnic congregation with predominantly Kazakh leadership. He earned his M.Div. from Trinity School for Ministry and is currently completing his doctorate at Gordon-Conwell Seminary. 
 

3. Five Years In: Continuing to Raise the Bar in Child Protection…DOMA’s Child Protection Policy is five years old! Child Protection Chair Lindsey Feldman and Chancellor Scott Ward will update church leaders on the newest version of the child protection policy, answer legal and practical questions, and make recommendations to aid in the implementation and maintenance of best practices in your church to keep our children safe.

Lindsey Feldman is the chair of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic’s Protection of Children Committee and Children’s Ministry Director at All Saints’ Church in Woodbridge, VA. Lindsey trains Child Protection Workshop Leaders throughout the diocese and in other denominations. With a BSW and a MA in Counseling, Lindsey worked for many years as a Probation Officer and Family Counselor for the Juvenile Court and helped establish and lead the Juvenile Justice Parenting Program through Cooperative Extension.

4. Your Church and the New Wineskins Global Missions Conference: Why Bring a Team?…The New Wineskins Global Missions Conference is the primary mission-mobilizing event for the Anglican Church in North America. Held every three years, it brings together those engaged in local mission and international mission; it draws missionaries and senders, clergy and laity, intercessors and evangelists, teachers and disciples. Come hear New Wineskins Missionary Network’s Executive Director, Jenny Noyes, share about the impact that next September’s conference can have on your church’s missional zeal. A number of congregations in our Diocese have discovered the power of bringing a team to experience New Wineskins—a conference that changes lives and changes churches. Come hear about the 18 pre-conferences that will go deeper on a variety of mission topics. Learn how everyone from young children to seniors can be challenged and equipped to take the Great Commission seriously.

Jenny Noyes is Executive Director of New Wineskins Missionary Network, an Anglican mission-mobilizing ministry based in Greensboro, NC. They host the triennial New Wineskins Global Missions Conference, which is coming up September 26-29, 2019 at Ridgecrest, NC.

5. Conversation for Church Planters…DOMA church planters and prospective church planters are invited to have lunch and conversation with our pre-Synod seminar leader, The Rev. Winfield Bevins.

The Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins is an author, artist, and speaker whose passion is to help others connect to the roots of the Christian faith for discipleship and mission. He is the Director of Church Planting at Asbury Theological Seminary. Prior to coming to Asbury, he was a pastor, college professor, and planter of Church of the Outer Banks (Diocese of the Carolinas). He has taught on four different continents, speaking at conferences, churches, and seminaries on a variety of topics. He has a Doctorate of Ministry from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. Having grown up in a low-church background, Winfield eventually found his spiritual home in the Anglican tradition, but freely draws wisdom from all church traditions.

Afternoon Breakout Sessions

1.  Transgenderism: Compassion, Clarity & Conversation…An increasing number of people in Western culture, especially teens, identify as transgender. Their “inward” experience of masculinity or femininity feels askew to their “outward” biological sex, male or female. With this topic now mainstream, Christians need to think carefully and compassionately about an array of questions, including: What anthropological assumptions underlie popular views and treatments? What does a loving Christian response look like? 

The Rev. Samuel D. Ferguson is currently working on a Ph.D. in the area of biblical anthropology. He also serves as part of the pastoral team at The Falls Church Anglican, Falls Church, VA, where he transitions to the role of rector in the spring of 2019. 

 

2. Becoming an Everyday Missionary…We often compartmentalize our “spiritual” and our “secular” lives when in actuality everything we are and possess is sacred and should be used to further God’s kingdom on earth. This workshop will give you practical ideas of how to be a missional Christian, engaging with those around you on a 24/7 basis as you live your everyday life. What do you have? Will you give it to Jesus?

Jenny Noyes is Executive Director of New Wineskins Missionary Network, an Anglican mission-mobilizing ministry based in Greensboro, NC. They host the triennial New Wineskins Global Missions Conference, which is coming up September 26-29, 2019 at Ridgecrest, NC. Jenny has served on the staff of Alpha USA and the Anglican Communion Network, the precursor to the ACNA province, as Evangelism Director. 

 

3. North America: The New Mission Field…We live in an increasingly multicultural, secular, and global context, and because some churches in the United States do not understand these shifts, they have either stopped growing or are in decline. These shifts, however, have created tremendous opportunities for mission, as the mission field has now come to us, along with fresh voices from the global church from which we can grow and learn. Dr. Winfield Bevins, Director of Church Planting at Asbury Seminary will be sharing how each one of us can join in God’s mission to reach North America with the gospel of Jesus Christ through personal evangelism, church planting, and revitalizing existing congregations.

The Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins is an author, artist, and speaker whose passion is to help others connect to the roots of the Christian faith for discipleship and mission.

4. Tomorrow’s Leaders in Your Church Today: How to reach and form college students as leaders for the Church…Local, national, and global leaders for tomorrow are students on college campuses today. 53% of these students report feeling hopeless. Only 4% of this generation of students has a Biblical worldview. Regardless of the size and style of your church, there are important ways you can help to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to campus and disciple next generation leaders for ministry in the Church and the world. Join in an interactive session to discuss best practices in reaching college students with the Gospel and integrating them into the life of your parish.

EQUIP! 2018: Pre-Synod Workshop open to all

By Tom Herrick

Click here to register! All are welcome to attend!

For the past several years, our annual Synod has featured a missional gathering on Friday afternoon aimed at exploring areas of ministry that we believe are critical to the health and growth of our congregations. These “pre-Synod” conferences, featuring topics such as Evangelism (2015), Multi-ethnic Ministry (2016), and Discipleship (2017), have been great opportunities to hear what folks around our diocese and province are doing and the impact they are having. These talks have stimulated a lot of conversation in our table groups and have led to new initiatives in the months following, as the creative ideas shared by our speakers sparked our imaginations and encouraged us to dream about new possibilities. Because these gatherings have proven so worthwhile, we decided a more descriptive title was needed. EQUIP! gatherings seemed a more appropriate name, since that is exactly what they are designed to do for us. 

EQUIP! 2018 promises to be just as exciting as its predecessors. The theme this year will be how to multiply our ministries through church planting. Our speaker is the Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins, an Anglican church planter and director of the Church Planting Institute at Asbury Seminary, as well as the author of numerous articles (“Reclaiming the Missional Heart of Anglicanism”) and books (Church Planting Revolution). Dr. Bevins will be giving us lots to think about in his talks, “North America: The New Mission Field,” “Church Planting in the 21st Century: Fresh Expressions and other New Models of Church,” and “How Might an Anglican Church Planting Movement Look: Hallmarks of the Wesleyan Revival.” The focus of his talks will be to help us to understand the changing mission field in which we find ourselves today and how we can more effectively reach those in our communities through innovative approaches that will grow and multiply our ministries. 

Please join us for these exciting talks and take the opportunity to explore new ways to reach those in your community for Christ. EQUIP! 2018 begins at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, November 16, 2018, and concludes with a light supper together before the opening Eucharist, at which Dr. Bevins will be our preacher. More information can be found here, including the free registration form needed to secure your spot and dinner.

We look forward to seeing you and hearing together what God has in store for us as we multiply our ministries through church planting.

The Rev. Dr. Tom Herrick is Canon for Church Planting for the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic.

Discovering the spiritual practice of walking

By Ann Bodling

A couple of weeks ago, a friend asked me what my spiritual practices have been lately. I was caught off guard and mumbled something about reading and contemplative prayer but, at the same time, I felt like I was forgetting something important. I was. I was forgetting what has been a practice for the last several decades, though I would not have termed it as such until relatively recently.

In the last few years I have become acquainted with the importance of living and being in the moment- not fixated on the future or the past, not entertaining the myriad distracting thoughts that pass through my weary brain, not giving in to fears or irritations or even wants, but noticing what is right in front of and all around me, taking it in, paying attention, acknowledging God's presence. Do I live this way through most of my days? No. Does being aware and awake to what transpires in the real world come naturally? No. Do I even remember that I want to experience this restorative focus on the present? Not very often.

And so, I walk. And in the walking, I am captivated by my surroundings and I slip into noticing without effort. This morning my walk took me through woodlands and along an overgrown field, and the songs of cicadas, crickets, and katydids of all species were my constant companions. I passed bright orange fungi on the shaded roadside, a spike buck who watched me warily through the trees, and a single Acadian flycatcher calling from overhead. Such are the findings I expect to encounter when I set out early in the morning.

Today, however, there was a message woven into my wanderings. As often happens, my walking took me past an old abandoned pasture filled with tall grasses and forbs, the  sun low behind me, casting the scene in a golden glow. The insect chorus was in full swing, though the singers remained invisible among the grasses and, in fact, I could not see any animal life there at all. When I reached the end of the field, I turned around to head back home, and the scene had been transformed. With sun backlighting the pasture, every drop of dew stood out, glistening in relief. And, in what had appeared to be an empty field, shone hundreds, or maybe thousands, of spider webs, sunlight glinting off each delicate strand.

As I stood in awe, I realized how little I had really seen on my first pass by the pasture. All these creatures, all this life had been right in front of me and I had missed them. It was as if they had been hiding in plain sight all along. I wondered then, how often do I miss understanding others' perspectives, so intent am I in seeing things from just one direction, the one in which I am heading. How often have I assumed I am right because my vantage is the only one I can see?

Contemplation, or living with God fully in the moment, is most powerful when we allow the present to seep into our souls. Sometimes the noticing alone is enough to fill us and we are content. Sometimes, like this morning, there is a message that deepens and changes us, if we but accept it. I find that, for me, walking is one of the most natural means of being open to the present moment. Discover walking as spiritual practice.

The Provincial Office welcomes new staff and new roles

The Provincial Office is in the midst of a season of transition as the Rev. Canon Alan Hawkins changes his role in the office, the Rev. Lawrence McElrath comes onboard in a role with an expanded remit, and the Rev. Canon Jack Lumanog leaves the staff.

The Anglican Church in North America is pleased to announce that the Rev. Canon Alan Hawkins has been appointed as the Chief Operating Officer for the Province.  The Chief Operating Officer oversees the staff who handle the day-to-day operations of the province, from finance and communications to helping coordinate ministry initiatives and task forces.

Canon Hawkins comes to the position after serving for the last four years as both the Provincial Canon for Development and a member of the Finance Team.  Prior to these appointments, he served as the Provincial Director for Church Planting.  Alan is based in Greensboro, North Carolina where he and his family have helped to plant and lead the Church of the Redeemer over the last twelve years.  Church of the Redeemer is a thriving congregation in the center of the town, and has just moved into a new building.  Canon Hawkins will remain in Greensboro, traveling as necessary to oversee the staff and operations in the Provincial Office outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Archbishop’s office outside Atlanta, Georgia.

“I am excited to serve the province in this new role,” said Canon Hawkins.  “As a Church, we continue to grow, and I am honored to continue helping to build up our capacity to support our dioceses and congregations in their local ministries.  We are an international church with amazing staff and volunteer leaders spread across multiple time zones.  Thankfully, for a province of our size, modern communications tools have revolutionized how we can work and collaborate together for the spread of the Gospel.”

Archbishop Beach commented, “Alan has been serving the province, often behind the scenes, for many years now, and I am delighted that he is willing to lead our operations.  His familiarity with our provincial structures and staff, his vision for the future, and the respect he carries amongst our leaders has made him an excellent fit for this role.”

Likewise, the Province welcomes the Rev. Lawrence McElrath to the staff as chaplain and Canon to the Archbishop.  In this role, Rev. McElrath will support the Archbishop’s office with logistics, travel, correspondence, and communications.

Rev. McElrath is a U.S. Army Chaplain who has most recently served as Assistant to the Bishop’s Chaplain for the Special Jurisdiction for the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy and Curate at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hudson, Ohio. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Youth Educational Ministries from Malone University and a Master of Divinity from Nashotah House Theological Seminary. With over 10 years of experience, Fr. McElrath will be a great addition to the staff in service to the Lord.

“The Lord is doing amazing things through the ministry of the Anglican Church in North America and I am honored to have been asked to serve Christ and His Church in this unique way,” expressed McElrath. “I look forward to working alongside Archbishop Beach, serving as his Canon. In my role, I serve as personal aide to the Primate. My prayer is that, through my ministry, Archbishop Beach will continue to be able to devote himself to prayer, his family and his call to serve the Global Anglican Communion. I am grateful to have the support of my Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Derek Jones, my brothers and sisters in the Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy, and most importantly, my wife, Megan. May the Lord give strength to my hands as I endeavor to serve Christ and His Church.” 

Canon Hawkins and Rev. McElrath move into positions that have expanded in scope, as the ministries of the province and the Archbishop have expanded. The Rev. Canon Jack Lumanog has served as the COO since 2014, and the Canon to the Archbishop since 2011.  Canon Lumanog left the Provincial staff in October, and Archbishop Beach expressed his appreciation for his service, “Over the years, Canon Lumanog has made valuable contributions to the life of the province, and I wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”
