Rector's Message
In my last column for the Mini I used the
title "Kevin's Kerygma." Many of you have
asked what the work kerygma means and
why I use it. Aside from the fact I find alliteration
alluring, the work kerygma works
nicely with what I hope I am doing in my
article. The word comes from the Greek κήρυγμα and means "proclamation." It
was because of Jonah's kerygma that
Nineveh repented, and it is my hope that these articles are
more aptly described by this title than the other one I used
to use: "Rector's Ramblings." I will leave it to you to decide.
Have you missed me yet? Last Sunday I was with the
vestry on retreat at Prince of Peace Abbey. We had a
marvelous, Spirit-filled weekend and grew closer to God
and one another. We agreed that this parish must have
Jesus Christ as its head, and be Scripture-led in its decisions.
We adopted unanimity as our decision making tool,
and agreed to rework our mission and vision statements.
Finally, Ray Fletcher was elected as Jr. Warden.

Assistant Rector's Message
During the vestry retreat I was reminded
of a conversation I had a few years ago with an
elderly gentlemen while I was
serving as a chaplain at
Pomerado Hospital. During the
course of our conversation he
informed me that thirty years
ago he had stopped attending
church. He said that when he
was going through a difficult
time in his life, after the death of
his mother, the members of his church turned
their backs on him and ignored him. He felt depressed
and completely alone. He then made
the decision to stop attending church, because
he felt the church was filled with hypocrites, who
constantly talked about love, but failed to actually
demonstrate it.
The conversation reminded me that a
true faith in God is something that is visible by
all. It is displayed in our expression of love for
God and our neighbors. When we fail to show
the love of God to others, we are truly deceiving
ourselves, because faith is more than saying
that we believe in God. Faith is manifested in
our actions and caring for one another. We
have been called to spread the gospel message
and to share the love of God. We cannot claim
to be disciples of Christ if we don't model our
lives after him.
