Opening Prayer
Let us pray.
Grant, O God, that we may follow the example of your faithful servant Barnabas, who, seeking not his own renown but the well-being of your Church, gave generously of his life and substance for the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Wisdom in Times of Crisis
Social Renewal as Spiritual Practice
Friday, July 10, 2020
CAC Faculty member Dr. Barbara Holmes points us to the interwoven nature of love— love of God, of self, and of neighbor. We cannot keep the Great Commandment without fully engaging in all three. In her wisdom, she sees this time of crisis as an opportunity for a great re-imagining of our society and how it might function for the good of all. Barbara says:
The practice I’m focusing on is self-love and love of neighbor. We tend not to be very good at either one, but during this time of isolation, we have equal opportunities to rest and to heal, to love and be loved. . . .
For me a spiritual practice that matters includes social renewal. Instead of blaming others about the state of our union, instead of blaming one political party or another, we actually can reflect on our own complicity and support of systems that abandoned the poor, warehoused our children in failing schools, and failed to provide adequate health care, even under normal circumstances. As a spiritual practice, we can wake up to the possibility of building a new order. We can improvise those possibilities; try them out in the creative microcosm of a shared public life, realizing that our way of life before the pandemic was not perfect. It could be improved so that all members of the society thrive. We’ve received reports that COVID-19 is disproportionally impacting communities of color. There are many reasons for this outcome, including the fact that people of color often have chronic health problems that make them particularly vulnerable to the disease as a result of poverty, poor or nonexistent health care, and economic disparities.
We should reconsider the contours of our national social contract. Our social and economic systems work on a zero-sum game where there are winners and losers. It didn’t have to be that way. We have the opportunity to restructure society, so it works as well for the have-nots and the almost-haves as well as it does for the wealthy. Do we really want a society organized to support the rich with the toiling of an underclass of marginalized laborers? Do we believe that it is every man, every woman for themselves, or do we want a society safety net for those who have fewer options and fewer resources?
From an article I wrote titled “Still on the Journey,” I believe that as a spiritual practice we can imagine and create “a political system responsive to the people and respectful of global neighbors, a health system that is comprehensive in scope and not profit driven, an educational system shaped by innovation, improvisation, technology, and practicality.” [1] The pandemic [and widespread demonstrations for Black Lives] have lifted the veil from our eyes.
Can we be honest now about what is not working? Can we re-envision new options? I believe that we can, if we want to.

New Ways of Doing Church Continues
|
|
|
We have sheltered in place for about four months, with some restrictions being lifted. We have met some of the challenges of responding to this virus. These achievements seem to be temporary at present.
The fact that our county has done a good job of following safety protocols and willingness to shelter in place is a major factor in our area being in a much better/healthier position than many parts of the country. It has made a difference. And much like many areas of our country, lifting restrictions has set us back a bit.
Hospitals are low on beds and staff. Infection numbers in California (including Sonoma County) are rising. More people are dying. People are becoming ill after attending church services, family gatherings, and children’s camps.
Please see “Safety Requirements and Protocols” Below.
Great healing is needed due to the pandemics of the coronavirus, and of social and spiritual viruses that we have all participated in. The wisdom we can now embrace is that none of us are separate. We are all infected by numerous hostilities that spread hate and disease based on prejudice and fear. It is all interconnected.
We must continue to do our part in protecting ourselves and all others in our communities. To continue our efforts to keep people safe, we will be in a prolonged season of sheltering in place and focusing even more on healthier and safer habits. We will do our part to slow the transmission of this disease.
It is best to stay at home, except for essential reasons. Please be diligent and prudent when it comes to following safety precautions. We are all connected. We are connected to each other in the Body of Christ. This includes our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. It includes the virus. We are connected in the process of our healing.
The most important thing right now is for all of us to do our part to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 in order to save as many lives as possible. Please consider this a spiritual practice.
Our priorities remain:
Protect the Vulnerable
Slow the Transmission of this Disease
Wear Face Masks/Face Coverings anywhere other people are.
Stay at home unless absolutely necessary to leave.
Remain 12 feet away from anyone when possible.
There is a continuing high risk of infection in our county, with deaths rising. We will faithfully continue our efforts to follow safety protocols to keep ourselves and others safe. Our church buildings are closed; and in-person worship is suspended indefinitely. We will continue worshipping and gathering online until a vaccine has been developed, or the virus is demonstrably under control.
Bishop Shannon, of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont, says “It’s hard to maintain hope. And so we do have to give ourselves the opportunities to cry, to lament, to mourn, and to know that all is tied together with new life.” Do this at home with your families. Do this in your small groups.
When we worship together online we see and hear our familiar faces and voices on our screens and from landline phones on a regular basis. We enter into the liturgy together, still a familiar pattern. We pray for our loved ones and for the concerns of the world. Our church is still open. We will continue to experience Christian community in real and meaningful ways.
I am happy to see many of you being vigilant, and at the same time, reaching out to connect to people. We will join together in a special Zoom Healing Eucharist to lament and mourn corporately. And we will pray about how we might be cleansed and healed of all of these illnesses. We will continue offering hope to the world.
We will continue in ministry as the Body of Christ. Saint Patrick’s provides food for the homeless twice a month through the Redwood Food Bank. Our Outreach Ministry provides funds for numerous community services. We offer our popular ENews twice a week to our congregation and others in our community to lift spirits, provide information, and share joy.
You all reach out to each other daily through phone, Zoom, email and post mail. We will be creative in learning new ways to serve. We may explore the root causes of hunger in Sonoma County. We may advocate with our city, county and state lawmakers to address homelessness. (Did you know that advocacy is part of our Baptismal Vocation: Loving our Neighbor?). We can work to eliminate racism, classism, misogyny, hatred of those from different religions and cultures, and all forms of oppression.
We can suspend judgment of others, and listen, seeking understanding. We are bound to our neighbor in freedom. We can enact change for communities, promoting human flourishing.
What ideas do you have about this? Share your thoughts.
Please join your brothers and sisters in prayer, worship, study, fellowship and service. I am inviting each of you, as a member of our congregation, to be part of implementing a new ministry. We will gather materials in love for the well-being of our homeless neighbors. We will individually organize suggested items, inserting them safely into appropriate gift bags.
When we have accumulated sufficient numbers of Blessing Bags, we will make plans to deliver these gifts of hope. Please contact me if you would like to participate in this ministry. We will provide instructions for packing, what foods and other items should be included, and information about making deliveries.
This is something we can do in our own neighborhood. We are exploring what group organization to start with, and are awaiting requested information and follow-up. This will be about building relationships and community in our area for those in need. We will have meaningful dialogue with our neighbors and hear their stories. More information to come ....
I encourage you to Start a new virtual, small group. Please contact me to discuss. Staying connected with our church family is very important. We have an opportunity to see things in new ways, and to become enlightened about what others in the world are suffering. I would love for you to share with me what you feel called to explore.
Let us pray:
O Great Love, thank you for living and loving in us and through us. May all that we do flow from our deep connection with you and all beings. Help us become a community that vulnerably shares each other’s burdens and the weight of glory. Listen to our hearts’ longings for the healing of our world. Knowing you are hearing us better than we are speaking, we offer our prayers for the growing of our hearts, the healing of our friends, families and neighbors. We pray for wisdom for our church community and ministry. We pray for the courage to make a difference in each of our own small ways. We offer these prayers in all of the holy names of God. Amen.
I am honored to be a part of such a loving and giving church community, Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church. Yours in Christ,
Priest Doyle
Rector

Earlier this week on Tuesday, the Redwood Empire Food Bank Pop-Up Ministry met again at St Patrick's front parking lot! They were able to serve many families this week. Check out Eleanor's summary of what happened on July 7th!
Dear All,
Thank you to Pam, Larry, injured but working Sallie, Denise, returning snowbirds Barbara and Brad, Beth and driver DeShaun. I think we distributed food for 158 people and 57 families. (see 3rd paragraph...)
We again had some new clients. One couple brought homemade masks for the volunteers, each in a plastic bag - greatly appreciated! A few cars later - a sight I've never seen: a car with loose papers filling the floorboards to half way up the front and back seats, all across the dash and a trunk full! (I didn't check to see if she was sitting on some!) I asked where we should put the food. Her response was, "On top of the papers!" Silly me for not figuring out the obvious!
Sad confession: I left St Pat's yesterday with my Pop-Up notebook on my trunk. It was dark when I realized what had happened, but was back just after daylight this morning to find one paper from it in the ditch. I'm happy someone now has a good notebook, but I'm bummed to not have the contents! Sometimes it's a challenge to be human!

Dear Friends in Christ,
I want to thank the Cathedral Profile, Applicant Review Committee, and Vestry for their hard work and spirit filled discernment. The Holy Spirit was clearly guiding us all during this time, and we have all been blessed by this experience.
I am delighted with this news and look forward welcoming Matthew to a collaborative partnership. Matthew brings experience in theologically grounded stewardship, rebuilding church facilities, and keeping the focus on mission and ministry.
Please welcome Matthew to the diocese.

Meet Rev. Matthew Woodward
|
|
 Matthew grew up in England, and after a diverse faith journey became an enthusiastic Episcopalian by choice. He believes the Episcopal spiritual tradition has a unique contribution to make to the conversation about faith that is going on in our culture right now. We are faithful and thoughtful, open to science and mystery, and we praise God with our hearts, souls and minds.
Born Pentecostal, Matthew became a member of the Church of England when his theological and social questions could no longer find a home there. In particular he appreciated the pastoral care of Church of England Priests when he realized he was gay and God still loved him deeply. He retains a love of scripture and emotionally connected worship from his upbringing, but he has added to that an appreciation for the rich traditions of the Episcopal Church and liturgical worship in particular.
Matthew studied Theology at the London School of Theology, King's College London and Westcott House in Cambridge, where he was prepared for ordination in the Church of England. His academic interests lie in early childhood spirituality and lifelong Christian formation. He loves family ministry and has founded and developed children and youth work in all three parishes where he has served.
He is an avid sci-fi fan, a cook, a runner and the proud parent of an Australian Shepherd mix rescue pup: River. Incidentally, River’s name comes from his favorite Science Fiction TV show, Doctor Who, where “Professor River Song” was a super fun character for about four seasons. His own River will only get to take on the title “professor” when she graduates puppy classes.
His favorite color is red, his favorite thing to cook is Coq au Vin and his favorite Bible verse is 1 John 4:7, which reminds us that God is Love, so we should consider loving one another as a top priority.
Matthew is excited to join the Trinity Cathedral community and the Diocese of Northern California in the middle of the culture changing events that are COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement. He believes that these events invite us to deeper contemplation of what it means to live into the Baptismal covenant of the Episcopal Church where we promise to: “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.”

A letter to Trinity Cathedral and the Diocese by the Rev. Matthew Woodward, Dean-Elect
Dear Trinity and Diocese of Northern California Family,
I am excited to be invited to become your Cathedral Dean and look forward to meeting you all in the fullness of time (perhaps virtually at first, if shelter-in-place keeps us from meeting in person).
The call from the Vestry and Bishop Megan felt truly spirit-led and I am humbled and excited to accept it. Trinity Cathedral has a depth of spiritual formation within its membership, and an active community of volunteers that work to support one another and share the love of God with the world around them. This is a community I am eager to join and work with.
I am so grateful for the service of Jim Richardson, your interim Dean, and Canon Lynell Walker, Associate Dean, who will both have retired by the time I arrive. I am aware of the great heritage of pastoral care and Cathedral ministry they will be handing to me and I want to cherish that heritage.
I also believe that a Cathedral is a public space, whose focus is on three horizons: the gathered congregation, the dioceses family and the wider world. I am excited to get to work with Bishop Megan and our Diocesan family and hope to make sure Trinity feels like a home for the whole diocese. It is also my hope that we can be a conversation partner with all of our neighbors in Sacramento, and that we might provide a venue for important conversations about life in our city and state. If you are interested in this kind of public conversation, let me know and let's talk about it.
I am excited to join the Trinity community and the Diocese of Northern California in the middle of the culture-changing events that are COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement. I believe that these events invite us to deeper contemplation of what it means to live into the Baptismal Covenant of the Episcopal Church where we promise to: “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.”
Finally, I am aware that there are questions about the buildings at Trinity, and I want to enter into a conversation with you about that. I am very keen to know how you most want to serve your fellow congregants, and also our neighbors in the wider community. When we have established that, we will know how we want to develop spaces that can serve the community and share the Love of God with them.
Well, I cannot wait to join you, and my pup, River is excited to come also. I will be with you from Sept. 1, and I am really looking forward to it.
Love,
Matthew+, Dean-Elect

The Lambeth Conference
The Lambeth Conference is a once-a-decade event gathering bishops and spouses from across the Anglican Communion for prayer, Bible study, fellowship and dialogue on church and world issues. Their next meeting was originally scheduled for July of this year. It has been postponed due to the coronavirus. I believe they were meant to meet in Jordan.
Convened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the conference will take place across venues at the University of Kent, Canterbury Cathedral and Lambeth Palace during the summer of 2022. Over one thousand bishops and spouses will travel to the conference. They will represent churches and Christian communities from around 165 countries of the Anglican Communion - one of the largest Christian communities in the world.
Under the theme of “God’s Church for God’s World, Walking, Listening and Witnessing Together” Lambeth 2022 will call participants together for prayer, Bible study, fellowship, reflection and dialogue on shared topics, concerns and opportunities in the Anglican Communion. The biblical focus for the event will be
I Peter.
The conference will explore a range of church and world affairs from topics like mission and evangelism, climate change, gender justice, poverty, tribalism, modern day slavery, and peace and reconciliation. The Anglican Communion has a vital role to play in working for justice and transformation in our world.
Bishop Megan says she is sad they will not be able to go this year; and, she believes they made the right decision for safety. Also, there might be the problem of a number of bishops not being able to travel back to their home countries.
Bishop Megan shared that, in the meantime, our bishops of the Anglican Communion across the globe will be getting to know each other virtually. | |

 Sonoma County United In Kindness

Dear Sonoma County United in Kindness (“UIK”) Project Supporters,
In response to our request, many of our 1500 allies recently registered their support of “UIK” with the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. In response, the Board of Supervisors adopted our “Sonoma County United in Kindness” statement as a Gold Resolution on Tuesday, June 9th. Thank you all for the support!
UIK’s Progress to date:
We have participated in tabling at 18 major events within the county to inform people about acts of kindness since March 2019. Additionally, we have presented two multi-faith seminars on “Shared Values Among Religions” and “Religions and the Environment” with the St. Patrick Episcopal Church in Kenwood with great success.
UIK’s Future plans:
We are currently reaching out to Sonoma County schools to introduce and promote our UIK agenda and to convene a multi-faith symposium on “Root causes of bigotry and what we can do about it”. The symposium was originally scheduled at the Sonoma County Day School’s 700-seat auditorium in September 2020 for all Sonoma County schools and their students/parents. However, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, a different date and platform will be needed for this event — perhaps via Zoom.
In collaboration with a group of parent activists, we have created a kindness toolkit, which is ready for use by willing teachers for the purpose of engaging their students to be more sensitive, inclusive, and open minded.
Either in person or through video, we have organized and are ready to present highly qualified speakers and trainers to discuss the following topics at interested schools or organizations: racism, bullying, inclusivity, tolerance, and respect for others.
We plan to work with large local businesses in Sonoma County to adopt and promote acts of kindness in their daily operations. We are also planning to engage city and county officials and agencies to integrate acts of kindness into their policies and conduct.
Requesting your help:
To effectively achieve UIK’s goals, we need support from the endorsers of our project and from the public. We are asking our endorsing organizations to publicize this letter in their newsletters and social media, and to inform their members about UIK. We are asking the public, the 1500 people who have signed our declaration, and newcomers, to assist with these projects. In particular, if you have expertise in the area of web design, or if you can offer other ideas on how to achieve our UIK goals, please let us know!
Thank you!

If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present." -- Lao Tzu

Closing Prayer
Let us pray:
O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
