Annual Meeting homily 2012
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Psalm 111
, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13,
Mark 1:21-28
Listen to God. That is a clear and simple message from today’s readings.
The Christian life is a listening life. God is always speaking. The challenge is to listen.
The people of Israel wandering in the desert knew all about that challenge. For them, listening to God was not a sweet private spiritual experience. The voice of God shook them to the roots of their souls. "If I hear the voice of the LORD my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die." Wandering in the desert teaches us how profound is the voice of God. When the boring comfort of routine and the deadening sense of expectation is lifted away, then we hear clearly that voice which loves and which saves and which gives the Holy to us and asks that we give ourselves in return. Our job is to listen to the ways that God speaks.
To truly listen, we must be ready to respond.
The Christian life is a listening life. This has been true from the beginning.
Adam and Eve listened to the footsteps of God in the garden. They hid because they could not face the truth of their own lives.
Abram listened to the voice of God that called him from his homeland to a place he had never seen.
Moses listened to the voice of God calling him out of his exile to risk and danger with a captive people.
Jesus listened to the voice of God that said to him “You are my beloved Son.” Even Jesus was so shaken that he ran to the desert himself, where he could listen more deeply and be transformed and prepared more profoundly.
God is still speaking. The line of listeners has not been broken. The Christian life is still a listening life. What shall we hear when we listen today?
Moses may not walk among us anymore. But it was Moses himself who said, “I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets!” That same Spirit which moved Moses and freed a whole nation is poured out upon us. That same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead and which came upon the disciples at Pentecost is poured out upon us.
God is speaking. Our life is a listening life. How shall we listen?
A listening life is a challenging life. We must name the noise outside of us, and the noise inside of us. We live in a world which bombards with information and images, and which wants to tell us how to feel and what to buy and how to think and feel.
This noise is easier to deal with than the noise within us. We all have it—noise of boredom and tedium, noise of fear or despair, noise of anger or pride. Each of us has our own re-mix, our personal play-list of inner noise that also tries to tell us how to feel, how to think, what to buy and to value.
But God is still speaking. How shall we listen?
We place ourselves in the presence of God through prayer, through a re-kindling of hope and faith, through asking God for the gift of the Spirit and the gift of listening. We place ourselves in the presence of the Word and in the life of the sacraments, through sharing Communion and in common prayer. We take that life of prayer into our daily lives in a way that works for us.
And we listen, with humility and respect and gratitude, to one another. We listen today, as we gather today to speak aloud our life here that we share at Saints Peter and Paul. We listen, in that spirit of respect and humility that Saint Paul himself spoke about as our way of life with one another.
God is still speaking. Our life is a listening life. Are we ready to listen?

Bad news, good news
3 Epiphany B 2012
Jonah 3: 1-5, 10; Ps 62; 1 Cor 7: 29-31; Mark 1: 14-20
I have bad news: we are all called by God.
Jonah could tell you all about that bad news. The short masterpiece that is the book of Jonah says that Jonah heard the call of God and ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction. The last place he wanted to go was Nineveh, an enemy city full of people with bad intentions. The last thing he wanted to do was walk alone in Nineveh and tell people that God was really unhappy with them.
Jonah took off in the opposite direction. You may know the rest of the story. A storm rocks the ship, the crew learns that God has picked Jonah, they throw Jonah overboard, the big fish swallows Jonah and warfs him up right back onto the road to Nineveh, the last place he wanted to go.
I’ve decided that Jonah is one of my patron saints. Some may think that a clergyman has the “call from God” thing all figured out. I don’t. A call from God is not as simple as choosing a religious career and going to school and having the bishop lay hands on you and adopting the lifestyle of a priest, week in and week out.
One can do all that and never really wrap oneself around a call from God. God’s call is urgent, God’s call comes in the midst of our ordinary lives. God’s call tells us that nothing is ordinary and that life is not the way we assumed it is and will be. God’s call asks us to do something unusual, to break from the ordinary, and it takes us beyond our comfort zone. What we do when we respond may be something very ordinary-looking, something that gets no attention or fame, like a life of deeper prayer or beginning a humble kind of service to one other person in need. Or it may be extraordinary, like helping lead a whole congregation into new life or witnessing to God’s justice in the public eye.
I am still struggling with how to respond to my ongoing call from God. I’ve done my share of running, running like Jonah even though I appear to stay in one place. I’ve been swallowed by my share of big fish and warfed right back where I did not want to go. Now I am struggling with a sense of call to lead renewal both right here at Saints Peter and Paul and also within the Diocese. Like Jonah, I sometimes find myself wishing that God would keep quiet and let me have a comfortable and predictable life.
But God is still speaking, and God is still calling.
I have good news: we are all called by God.
Every Christian soul is a called person. In our Baptism the voice of God says to each of us “You are my beloved”, not once only but every day. And God calls us like Jonah, like Simon and Andrew and James and John today.
Calls from God are not for the elites, for the spiritually sophisticated, for the religious professionals. Calls come to the ordinary; in fact, in the Gospel Jesus calls very unlikely people. We know nothing about Jonah’s life before his call. We do know something about the four men called today—fishermen, very ordinary hard-working practical day-to-day, check-to-check working guys. They can’t afford to miss a day of work, their duty is to their families. One novel about Jesus says that old Zebedee never forgave Jesus for taking his two sons away and was Jesus’ lifelong enemy.
But they got up and went—Mark says “immediately.” Some do.
Some do respond immediately. Some of us are more like Jonah—I know I am. Some ignore the urge, the unquiet, the itch, the deep longing, for as long as they can. But the call of God never stops. And the good news of the Kingdom is urgent.
I have bad news—we are called by God. We are called beyond our comfort, beyond what we thought was predictable about our lives. I have good news—we are called by God. We are loved with a love that we will never exhaust. We are known more deeply than we know ourselves. And when we set our feet and our hearts on the road in answer to our call, God will do wonders in us and through us that we cannot now understand.

Renewal, Eli-style!
2 Epiphany B 2012
1 Sam 3: 1-10; Ps 139; 1 Cor 6: 12-20; John 1: 43-51
“The Word of the Lord was rare in those days.” When is the last time you heard the Word of the Lord? Not just the written word of the Bible, but the living word of the Lord?
Does that sound like a strange question? Does that sound like an uncomfortably “religious” question, what some folks today might refer to as “woo-woo”? God speaking? Our hearing?
We need to deal with that question right out front today, because the readings place it right in front of our eyes.
“The Word of the Lord was rare in those days” says the story of God speaking to Samuel. That sentence chases away any fantasies we may have that “back in the day” people had greater spiritual experiences than we do now, or that people were more “primitive” and imagined more spiritual things than we do, oh we ever-so-sophisticated people. “The Word of the Lord was rare in those days”—in stillness it is easier to hear the still voice of God. Other things, louder things were drowning it out.
In Samuel’s time it was chaotic politics, corruption and abuse of power, exploitation of the poor and helpless, and uncertainty and fear that spoke loudly and drowned out other sounds. Now we can’t relate to any of that, can we? Confusion and abuse outside combines with fear and anger inside to create a perfect storm of noise. God does not shout, nor grab us by the shoulder and shake.
Old Eli, with his years catching up to him and his broken heart and his bad conscience over his sons shaking down the poor at the temple, slept his exhausted despairing sleep. But there was one set of new fresh ears and one open wondering heart that was alert to the still speech of God.
Young Samuel does not recognize the still voice in the night for who it is. He still does need old Eli, old burned-out and exhausted and despairing Eli. Eli still has his part to play. His ears may be closed, his “golden days” may be long ago, but he can still mentor a new young servant of God. “Go and lie down…say ‘speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’”
That’s OUR story today. That is the Bible’s tale of how a tired community can hear the voice of God and of how its members can help one another to hear and to renew a community’s life.
Is it our story? Is it the story of Saints Peter and Paul?
We are a community of Christian folk with a track record rich with faith and with service and with life lived with one another. That record, that tradition and those memories, are a gift and yet they can become a burden. They can make us feel like we have lost something in these late years. Where do we begin? Where is our new life? Some of us who have been here long can relate to Eli, who has seen it all and who lays down each night filled with his weariness and his worry for the present and the future.
But that is not our whole story. Some of us are Samuel, with quick and fresh ears and hearts filled with wonder. Some of us look about and see new life, new growth, such richness now and such promise for the future. Some of us are attuned to the fresh, renewing voice of God speaking.
Some of us are Eli and Samuel both, at the same time. Some of us live in a confusing place where weariness and fresh hope are mixed up, side by side.
So how do we let God speak here at Saints Peter and Paul?
We shall live with one another gently and respectfully, with love. Old Eli and young Samuel were sharing life simply in the temple of Shiloh, taking care of the sacred space while waiting for God to speak. We make a home together here. We have such a gift in one another—walking a Christian path is not a solo act, not a private journey.
We shall cherish one another’s gifts. Samuel’s gifts were alert sharp ears and an open, hopeful heart to hear the fresh voice of God. Let’s love those among us with those ears and hearts, and let’s love and welcome the Samuel within us who is still alert and hope-filled even when we are tired.
Eli’s gifts were long and faithful service and readiness to accept that the Lord might speak through the new and the young. Eli could have sent Samuel back to bed telling him, “Don’t bother me, I’ve tried to hear God speaking that way and he doesn’t do it, you’re new and don’t know how things really are. YOU’LL find out!” But Eli did not do that. Instead Eli shared his own experience, helping Samuel to sharpen his ears and to hear clearly God’s speech, even when what God had to say was not comfortable for Eli.
And that is how God renewed his people then. Shall we let God renew us now?
Eli and Samuel are among us here. At times they are both within each of us. Treasure the hard-won experience and faithfulness of Eli, of the Elis among us. Welcome the freshness and eagerness of Samuel, of the Samuels among us and the Samuel within each of us.
And then? And then we shall welcome one another to new and renewed life, here in God’s beloved community of Saints Peter and Paul. We have lived thus far with Eli and Samuel—the Gospel today shows us how to do that welcoming. “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” “Come and see.”
Can God renew us? Can anything good come out of an aging church in a challenging age? “Come and see”
