We all have experiences that are so formative, so altering, so transformational that theychange fundamental ways we think and live. For some of us it may be a series of eventsthat has shaped us. Others know the day and hour of a single event and can travel theremindfully at any given moment. It might be a first date, first kiss, first love or... firstheartbreak. It could be the day of baptism or confirmation, a graduation, first job, firsthome of your own. It could be an accident, illness, death of a beloved. Such events inour lives shape us and form us into who we are today. My “big 3” in chronological orderare ordinations, marriage, and birth of Frances’ and my son, Don. What are yours? For Christians, our pivotal event is Easter. Easter changed everything! Yes,we have nothing to show for it except an empty tomb. And that’s exactly thepoint because the empty tomb gives us hope. Is there anything we need nowmore than hope?

Change happens at such a rapid pace, we get lost trying to keep up. Time andagain we find ourselves asking: How did that happen? When did that change?Who made those rules? Why?

A sense of discombobulation and discomfort hangs in the air and we can’tdiscern where it’s coming from, but we feel it grieving our souls. So, we askdeeper questions: Can we still trust God? Can we still hope in Easter? Will Godmake something holy and good and beautiful out of a world filled with drugwars, child abuse, wars and natural disasters? Can we trust God to do somethinggreat and wonderful with people who claim to love God, then do despicablethings?

“Yes!” is Easter’s message. Come, into the glow and the warmth and thechallenge and the holiness and the hope of the empty tomb. Gather in the nameof someone higher and holier that we are, someone who has conquered thedarkness, someone who can give us hope. Experience the presence of the risenChrist once again. Rejoice with others who struggle with the same challengeswe have. Pray and praise and sing with those who lift our spirits and whosespirits we have lifted. Together, celebrate God who, through Jesus’ emptytomb gives us hope for today and hope for the future.

Easter reminds us of God’s love opening life beyond our imaginations to eachof us. It is personal!

It’s not symbolic or esoteric or for someone else. It is for us! Easter is thesong God is singing to the world.

Another pastor didn’t sing much because, like me, he didn’t have much of asinging voice and couldn’t read music. But one year his daughter persuadedhim to sing along with the choir on Easter Day when they concluded worshipwith Handel’s “Hallelujah chorus” as was their tradition.

That pastor really got caught up in singing all those “Hallelujahs” when, all ofa sudden, the director stopped, the organ stopped, and the choir stopped. Hesaid, “They stopped too soon! I’ve been going around with a couple of‘Hallelujahs’ inside me just waiting to get out.” That’s what Easter does for us. We all walk around with “a couple of ‘Hallelujahs’inside just waiting to get out” because Easter fills us with hope!

In Christ,

As the author states: "Easteris the greatest celebration of theChristian community, the climax of thechurch year, and the focal point of ourfaith. But to enter fully into Christ'sResurrection, we must first follow himin his passion. Observing Holy Week--the week preceding Easter Sunday -- isan invitation to do so."

EASTER FLOWER REQUEST FORM (Please Print)

Please make your check payable to Saint Michael & All Angels and write “EasterFlowers” on the memo line. You may place it in the collection plate or mail it to SaintMichael & All Angels Church, 3233 Pacific View Drive, Corona del Mar, CA 92625.Deadline for Bulletin inclusion is Monday, April 14th.

What I think Hans Kung is asking in “On Being A Christian” is “How did Christianity continue after the ups and downs ofHoly Week and the complete breakdown of Good Friday?” And my answer is “because Jesus, our leader and Lord, arosefrom the grave, alive in love for the world that had forsaken and killed him.” Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risenindeed. Alleluia.

According to the evangelist John, Mary Magdalene had stayed at the foot of the cross with Mary, the mother of Jesus, andMary, the wife of Clopas, and the beloved disciple. Such courageous devotion to Jesus had come from a profound experienceof his love. Jesus had set her free from seven demons (Luke 8:2) and, in her gratitude, she had laid down her life in love forJesus, personally and financially. There was no question in her mind about the source of her deliverance, the origin of theexodus of her spirit from all that oppressed her. She knew the truth of Jesus, and his truth had set her free. Nothing elsewould do for her. No other presence of power would suffice. At the empty tomb it was only when Jesus allowed himselfto be known that Mary re-experienced that for which there was no equal: the personal presence of the Lord who called herby name, “Mary” (John 20:16). “Rabboni!” she exclaimed before she sought to embrace him.

The Easter encounter stands at the heart of our Christian faith and is the watershed experience of believers. The Risen Christis real! He was not resuscitated but resurrected, alive for those who had the eyes of faith. Mary represents all who seek tobelieve; if she does not experience the risen Lord then Christianity for her, and for us, collapses into pious delusion, a falsedream, a bad joke.

No empty tomb nor angelic visions, no reading from scripture nor eloquence of preachers, no succession of “Alleluias” norstately anthems can replace the personal experience of encountering the Risen Lord. No amount of “creating Easter” cansubstitute for personally experiencing the Risen Jesus in our midst, any more than a sailor shouting “Land!” can create terrafirma; the land must be reached before the joy of finding becomes authentic and then the ecstasy is grounded in reality.

Jesus is risen and alive as the then seen-but-now-unseen power of God, victorious over sin and death. The love of God haswon! It is this reality which gives birth to the “Alleluias,” not vice versa. It is in this experience of Jesus, raised and therebyvindicated, that we know his way and truth and life to be authoritative. Easter is God’s “Amen!” to the love of his onlybegotten. Alleluia! Alleluia!

I've had a lot on my mind during Lent as I look forward to Easter, particularly about the reality of the Resurrection for modernday Christians, so I offer you a second column this month, about a question by the theologian Han Kung that has beengnawing at me for quite a while now. Easter's a good time for us all to think about these ideas. --p.d.h.

Beloveds in Christ –

“How did a community emerge in the name of a crucified man?How did a new beginning come out of such a disastrous end?Where did his followers gain their strength after such a disastrous end?How did the condemned heretical teacher come to be exalted as Israel’s Messiah, the Christ?How did the unmasked seducer of the people become ‘Savior,’ this rejected blasphemer the ‘Son of God?’How did they come to proclaim, not only the Gospel of Jesus, but Jesus himself as the Gospel, unintentionallyturning the proclaimer himself into the content of the proclamation, the message of the kingdom of God into themessage of Jesus as the Christ?”

FROM THE EVERY MEMBEREVANGELIST

A work friend described her Lentendiscipline as follows: “Tonight I’mgetting together at home with myparents and inlaws .. Next week, I’mhaving dinner with two cousins Ihaven’t seen for a while.

“My church encouraged us to ‘dosomething better during Lent’ and Irealized that although we want to gettogether with family, we seldom do ...and ... I cannot assume the chance willalways be there for me.”

It was such natural evangelism. Weoften talk about family and friends, buttalking about faith was “new territory.”In the next few weeks I’m lookingforward to listening more and sharingthoughts on family and faith with myfriend. The ripple effect could be quitelarge ... for her ... for me ... foranyone.

LEST WE FORGET: There have been4,489 American military casualties inIraq and 2,176 in Afghanistan. "Lordhear our prayers for those who are deadand for those who mourn."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pastorand Theologian, born 1906

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born February4, 1906. He studied at the Universities ofTuebingen and Berlin, receiving his Doctorof Theology degree from the latter in1927,graduating summa cum laude. Hisdoctoral thesis was published in 1930 asCommunio Sanctorum. Still too young to be ordained, the 24-year-old Bonhoeffer went to the UnitedStates in 1930 for post graduate study anda teaching fellowship at New York City'sUnion Theological Seminary. Although hefound the American seminary not up tohis exacting German standards, he had life-changing experiences and friendships. Hestudied under Reinhold Niebuhr and metFrank Fisher, a black fellow seminarianwho introduced him to Abyssinian BaptistChurch in Harlem, where Bonhoeffertaught Sunday school and formed a lifelonglove for African-American spirituals. Heheard Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., preachthe Gospel of Social Justice and becamesensitive to not only social injusticesexperienced by minorities, but also theineptitude of the church to bring aboutintegration. Bonhoeffer began to see things"from below"-- from the perspective ofthose who suffer oppression. LaterBonhoeffer was to refer to his impressionsabroad as the point at which "I turned fromphraseology to reality." After his return to Germany fromAmerica in 1931, Bonhoeffer became alecturer in systematic theology at theUniversity of Berlin. He seems to haveundergone something of a personalconversion from being a theologianprimarily attracted to the intellectual sideof Christianity to being a dedicated manof faith, resolved to carry out the teachingof Christ as he found it revealed in thegospels. On November 15, 1931--at theage of 25--he was ordained at the old-Prussian United St. Matthew's Church inBerlin.

From the first days of the Naziaccession to power in 1933, Bonhoefferwas involved in protests against theregime. From 1933 to 1935 he was thepastor of two small congregations inLondon, but nonetheless was a leadingspokesman for the Confessing Church, thecenter of Protestant resistance to the Nazis.

On May 10, at 7:30 PM in AllAngels’ Court, Saint Michael& All Angels will host its first

ever U2charist.This is a celebration of Holy

Eucharist accompanied by the musicof the Irish rock band U2. The RightReverend Diane Jardine Bruce willbe celebrant, and returning to SaintMichael & All Angels for one night topreach will be our former AssistantPriest, the Reverend Canon JaimeEdwards-Acton.

All offerings collected at theU2charist will be donated to theAfrican Well Fund, contributing totheir 2014 campaign to “Build a Wellfor Bono.”

Bono is the lead singer and frequentspokesman for the band, and he isalso a powerful voice of the campaignto eliminate extreme poverty, one ofthe UN Millennium DevelopmentGoals.

The 12 songs to be used before,during, and after worship will beperformed live by the local group TheJoshua Tree, a U2 tribute band.

The idea of using the music of U2during worship was first developedin the Episcopal Church. Sarah DylanBreuer, an Episcopal theologian, is afan of U2, and designed the firstU2charist.

The first time a U2charist waspresented was in the Diocese ofMaryland at a conference forDiocesan clergy in October, 2004.The first church to present aU2charist was Saint George’sEpiscopal Church in York Harbor,Maine, under the leadership of theRev’d Paige Blair. Since then theU2charist has been celebrated in manydenominations and countries aroundthe world.

Since the early years of U2, this rockband has been recognized for theintense spiritual content of much ofits music. One of its biggest early hits,“Pride (In the Name of Love)” is adual anthem of praise to Martin LutherKing, Jr., and Jesus. Here are partsof the lyrics from that song:

One man caught on a barbed wire fenceOne man he resistOne man washed on an empty beachOne man betrayed with a kissIn the name of love!What more in the name of love?Early morning, April 4Shot rings out in the Memphis skyFree at last, they took your lifeThey could not take your pride

Through the three plus decades thatU2 has been a major force in popularmusic, they have continued to includethemes rooted in Christian religion intheir songs. This is what makes theirmusic so suitable as a setting for HolyEucharist.

Individually, Bono has become oneof the strongest voices in our culturefor the Millennium Development Goals,in particular eliminating extremepoverty. He also is a leader of themovement to forgive the debt of thirdworld nations, which falls under the8th goal of a Global Partnership forDevelopment. Among his manyfriends, Bono counts both George W.Bush and Nelson Mandela. Bush calledBono “the real deal.” They haveworked together to promotehumanitarian efforts in Africa. Mandelaand the members of U2 were goodfriends, which makes the U2’s writingof the Oscar-nominated song“Ordinary Love” for the 2013 filmMandela: Long Walk to Freedom aperfect match of artist and message.

The African Well Fund conducts acampaign every year at this time toraise money to build a well in Africa. Itis called “Build a Well for Bono”because it happens around the time ofBono’s birthday…May 10th. This yearthey are engaged in a $30,000 campaignto build a well in Angola. It is our goalto raise a sizable chunk of that at ourU2charist.

You can learn more about U2, Bono,and the connection between theU2charist and Millennium DevelopmentGoals, on April 27th at Sundays at Nine,when I will present a completeoverview of all this and more. And, ofcourse, you can enjoy a particularlyuplifting experience at our U2chariston Saturday, May 10th at 7:30 pm..The Joshua Tree will perform “Pride(In the Name of Love)” and “OrdinaryLove”, as well as 10 other songs. Songlyrics will be projected on screens, andyou will be encouraged to sing along.

Horizons & Heritage

By The Right Rev’d J. Jon Bruno

(Episcopal News, Los Angeles)Recently, Bishop Michael Curry of NorthCarolina and I had the privilege of joiningthe people of St. Philip’s Church, LosAngeles, in blessing their new room forparish archives and history.

This collection of resources, assembledby parish archivist and historian CharleneDiggs, spans more than a century andreflect deep and meaningful insights intoboth the congregation and wider LosAngeles — highlighting especially theexperiences of the city’s African-American community.

Charlene Diggs, together with CanonRoy Salmon and the Rev. Glenn Libbyand everyone at St. Philips, is to becommended for preserving and sharingthese important resources — and Iencourage all congregations in ourdiocese to make similar strides indocumenting and preserving andrecording local history.

One of the best ways to do so is videoor audio taping of oral histories withsenior parishioners willing to offer theirreflections.

Another best practice is creating digitalscans of irreplaceable parish records.

Across the diocese, we have anotherimportant reason for documenting ourhistory with a forward-looking view tofuture ministry: this coming Decemberwe will celebrate the 150th anniversaryof the first service of SouthernCalifornia’s oldest continuing parish, theCongregation of St. Athanasius, locatedat the Cathedral Center of St. Paul. Thatservice was led by the Rev. Elias Birdsallon Christmas Day 1864, and we willmark this milestone at our next meetingof Diocesan Convention, Dec. 5 - 6.

We will meet under the theme“Horizons & Heritage,” and I have askedour diocesan archivist-historiographer,Canon Robert Williams, to guide thisobservance, starting with assemblingonline pages of photos and text — bothhistorical notes and current ministrypriorities — for each congregation of theDiocese of Los Angeles. This wonderfulcollection will be available in time forConvention, where we will share andcelebrate significant highlights as we lookforward together into the future.

Ours is a shared history, eachcongregation branching off at differenttimes within our family tree and fromthe common roots dating from the

planting, 150 years ago, of theCongregation of St. Athanasius. I lookforward to sharing this celebrationwith you, and I encourage you todirect any questions or comments toCanon Williams at 213.482.2040, ext. 240,or email [email protected].

Together, let us give thanks to God forour horizons and heritage!

In 1935 Bonhoeffer was appointed toorganize and head a new seminary forthe Confessing Church at Finkenwald.He described the community in “LifeTogether” and later wrote “The Costof Discipleship.”

Bonhoeffer became increasinglyinvolved in the political struggle after1939, when he was introduced to thegroup seeking Hitler's overthrow.Bonhoeffer considered refuge in theUnited States, but he returned toGermany where he was able to continuehis resistance. In May, 1942, he flewto Sweden to meet Bishop Bell andconvey through him to the Britishgovernment proposals for a negotiatedpeace. The offer was rejected by theAllies who insisted upon unconditionalsurrender.

Bonhoeffer was arrested April 5,1943, and imprisoned in Berlin. Afteran attempt on Hitler's life failed April 9,1944, documents were discoveredlinking Bonhoeffer to the conspiracy.He was taken to Buchenwaldconcentration camp, then toSchoenberg Prison. On Sunday, April8, 1945, just as he concluded a servicein a school building in Schoenberg, twomen came in with the chilling summons,"Prisoner Bonhoeffer. . . come with us."He said to another prisoner, "This is theend. For me, the beginning of life."Bonhoeffer was hanged the next day,April 9, at Flossenburg Prison.

There is in Bonhoeffer's life aremarkable unity of faith, prayer,writing and action. The pacifisttheologian came to accept the guilt ofplotting the death of Hitler because hewas convinced that not to do so wouldbe a greater evil. Discipleship was tobe had only at great cost.

(With thanks to Susan Beechner)

Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise Without delayes,Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise With him mayst rise:That, as his death calcined thee to dust,His life may make thee gold, and much more, just.

Awake, my lute, and struggle for thy part With all thy art.The crosse taught all wood to resound his name, Who bore the same.His stretched sinews taught all strings, what keyIs best to celebrate this most high day.

Consort both heart and lute, and twist a song Pleasant and long:Or, since all music is but three parts vied And multiplied;O let thy blessed Spirit bear a part,And make up our defects with his sweet art.

I got me flowers to straw thy way;I got me boughs off many a tree:But thou wast up by break of day,And brought’st thy sweets along with thee.

The Sunne arising in the East,Though he give light, & th’East perfume;If they should offer to contestWith thy arising, they presume.

Can there be any day but this,Though many sunnes to shine endeavour?We count three hundred, but we misse:There is but one, and that one ever.

POET’S CORNER

Easter by The Rev’d George Herbert (1593-1663)

Easter is from “The Temple,”(1663) a collection of over onehundred and fifty devotional lyrics by The Rev’d GeorgeHerbert, a Welch-born English poet, orator and Anglicanpriest. Lyric poems are written as if spoken (or sung) by onevoice. Readers are often encouraged to feel as if the poem isaddressed directly to them or, in other cases, that they areoverhearing the poet’s private meditations. This gives animpression of great intimacy. It also produces a sense ofauthenticity. Because of this, lyrics have always been popularforms for love poetry. For the very same reason they havealso been a natural choice for writing about religious belief. -Notes from The Spectator, March, 2012

Easter is Herbert’s personal reworking of Psalm 57 and is an act of emotional confession.
