Dear Friends,Last month I was reviewing our 2009 Pictorial

Directory in anticipation of putting together the 2012 version this fall. The pictures for the present directory were taken almost three years ago, and I was delighted to note that in the staff and clergy pages, all 17 people pictured there are still flourishing in their roles at the Chapel of the Cross! The only personnel change for the new directory will be the addition of one deacon. The four staff priests and the other deacon, the three Priests Associate (non-stipendiary), and the nine lay staff all continue the same!

While in this parish we are accustomed to continuity of staff, it is a gift that we should not take for granted. Workplaces, even parishes, can be confining, fragmented venues to pour out one’s efforts. Individual agendas can often clash and turf wars can be costly. Clashes between paid staff and volunteers can be frequent and energy draining.

I am happy to say that no such negativity characterizes the atmosphere at the Chapel of the Cross. While I know that retirement or other calls to ministry will inevitably lead to staff changes here in the coming years (e.g. just before “press time” I learned of Marty Rogers’ new exciting opportunity – see page 11) , the present continuity of our staff is an indication that we all find fulfilling ministry here, that we enjoy what we are doing, that we feel part of a creative and cooperative team, and that we feel a strong connection to and significant support from the entire parish.

That is a great gift to be grateful for and no small accomplishment. Some of it of course, can be attributed to the dedicated and highly motivated people who comprise our talented staff. But I want to take this opportunity to thank you, the equally committed and gifted parishioners

of the Chapel of the Cross, for all that you do to make such continuity possible. Your engagement in and support of the ministries of this parish is energizing. Your initiative and enthusiasm in starting new efforts and expanding others is contagious. Your financial support of the annual budget, as well as of the capital campaign and of specific ministry initiatives throughout the year, is critical and life giving. Your election of wise and visionary Vestry members who establish forward looking budgets and nurturing personnel policies is most supportive and deeply appreciated.

On behalf of the rest of the staff, thank you for all that you do to make the Chapel of the Cross a vibrant, dynamic, enjoyable place to worship, to learn, to grow, to work. We look forward to continuing to serve with you.

Faithfully,

– Stephen

While the ABC Sale may seem like a distant memory as we go through the hot and humid days of the summer, the ABC Sale Grants Subcommittee recently recommended that the Vestry award grants to 17 of the community agencies who applied for funding from the proceeds of the sale. The sale generated $26,655 to help those in need in and around our community. The subcommittee had the challenging task of deciding how these funds could have the greatest impact.

Subcommittee members Mary Kent Hill, Ann Chelminski, Richard Gaillard, Mary Beth Grealey, Perri Kersh, and Pat Phelan researched the 34 funding requests, totaling over $87,000, from area agencies. At the subcommittee meeting, members presented summaries of the grants they had researched. Each grant was ranked by the members, and the scores created a prioritized list of the requests. As in the past, not all high-priority grants were fully funded, which permitted more grants to receive at least partial funding. These recommendations were then approved by the Outreach Ministry Committee and by the Vestry at their June meetings.

Some of the valuable programs which were funded include: 1) Farmer Foodshare, founded by parishioner

Fruits of the ABC SaleBy Mary Kent Hill

Margaret Gifford to provide locally grown food to people at risk for hunger as well as to support farmers, 2) Blue Ribbon Mentor Advocate, which will fund a scholarship for a student in this program in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools, 3) A Helping Hand, which will provide 340 hours of service to seniors, the disabled, and caregivers who are in need, 4) the Dispute Settlement Center, which will provide a summer program to continue work with youth who are served during the school year in an after-chool program, and 5) Club Nova, an organization which provides opportunities for individuals with mental illness and needs support for its meal program for clients.

If you would like more detailed information about the grants awarded or are interested in helping with the process next year, please contact Mary Kent Hill ([email protected]). For now, please save your treasures to donate to the

2012 ABC Sale so that there will be even greater profits for important programs.

This is the first in a series of articles on environmental organizations with which the Chapel of the Cross has ties. This month, we are focusing on UNC’s Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Several of our parishioners are students in this department.

UNC’s Gillings School of Global Public Health was founded in 1940, and the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering (ESE) traces its existence back to that far away year. Long before greenhouse gases and global warming appeared in the news, UNC scientists and engineers were working to solve the environmental problems of the day. Since air and water pollution has a profound impact on human health (as well as plant and animal species), locating the ESE department in the School of Public Health is a natural fit. Like all institutions of advanced study, the department is divided into research groups consisting of one or two professors along with their students. These research groups work on several narrowly defined but important topics.

You might ask, what is the difference between an environmental scientist and an environmental engineer? Briefly put, environmental scientists are more concerned with theory, processes, and mechanisms, for example the chemistry of groundwater contamination. Environmental engineers are oriented towards solving problems on the basis of science, as well as public policy, tools, and techniques for remediation. The work of scientists and engineers complement one another.

Broadly, the department is split between environmental health folks, ‘air people’ and ‘water people’, both scientists and engineers. Faculty and students working in the air area are concerned with air quality and atmospheric processes such as the transport and fate of pollutants. Some research groups are focused on climate change, its impacts and mitigation, as well as modeling future trends. Others are concerned with computer

Environmental Notes: UNC’s Environmental Sciences & Engineering DepartmentBy Roger Jerry

modeling of air pollution. This is important because government regulators base future rules and requirements on computer model results. As always in science, there is continuous refinement of computer based models so that the results will reflect actual future measurements.

Water research is focused on contaminant sources, their transport and fate, as well as sustainable water resources. There is a large part of the developing world in which people do not have access to safe drinking water. In those places, the incidence of preventable water-borne diseases such as typhus and cholera is high, causing excessive mortality. One research group is working on low cost point of use water purification systems that could be widely distributed in impoverished areas. In the case of chemical contamination, many places right here in the US are dealing with the long term effects of industrial processes that may have been shut down many years ago. Understanding what happens to chemical pollutants in the environment is an essential part of finding solutions to the problem.

Environmental health groups seek to relate human exposure to pollutants and pathogens to their health effects. These could be immediate and identifiable adverse reactions to toxins, or long term effects (such as cancer) in which the causal relationship must be slowly revealed by painstaking epidemiological studies. In addition, it is important to establish just how a toxin gives rise to a tumor. If this is known, a possible biological defense against the cancer-forming process might be proposed. Knowledge of air and water pollutants and disease processes is important for public policy makers, as this information supports risk analysis, a vital part of decision making.

Since the adjective ‘Global’ has been added to the title of the School of Public Health, there is much emphasis on research and scientific collaboration with institutions and governments far from our shores. Here are just two examples. Prof Kamens’s air quality group has done

Page 6: August 2011 Cross Roads

collaborative projects with universities in Thailand and China. Dr Weinberg’s group is presently working on a water project with Australia’s University of Queensland.

As scientific knowledge becomes more complete regarding transport of toxins and pollutants it is becoming apparent that the environment in China is connected to the environment here in North Carolina, and air pollution in Beijing or Shanghai will eventually be felt here as climate

As many of you know, the Chapel of the Cross updates its Pictorial Directory every three years. This is the year! The directory helps us connect names with faces. How many times have you wondered about the name of the person in the next pew, but felt reluc-tant to ask because you’re sure you should know? Here is your chance to solve these problems by having your picture in the direc-tory and encouraging fellow parishioners to do so. The directory will also include addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all parishioners.We will be working with Olan Mills, a company that has extensive experience in creating church directories. The directories are created at no cost to the parish; the company’s business depends on purchase of pictures by parishioners, but this is not required. We have talked exten-sively with their representatives about the pressure placed on some parishioners during the creation of the 2009 directory and have been assured that the sales people will present ‘opportunities to purchase’ without undue pressure. That

said, we believe this company provides the best opportunity to help the parish create the most useful Pictorial Directory possible.The process is simple:

1. Sign up for an appointment to have your picture made and make decisions about pur-chase of pictures. We will have volunteers with sign-up sheets at church on Sundays in August and early September. Or you can sign up online at www.signup.olanmills.com.2. A few days before your appointment, Olan Mills will deliver a reminder voice mail message to the phone number you provide.3. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be asked to verify/correct information in our parish data base.4. Smile for the pictures and make decisions about the pose to be included in the directory. You may also purchase additional pictures if you wish.5. Every participating family/household that selects a pose for the directory will receive a free

directory and a complimentary 8 x10 photograph.The scheduled dates for photography are September 26 - 28, 30 and October 1, 9 - 13, 18 – 20.If you have questions about the directory or can volunteer to help with its creation, please contact Barbara Schliebe ([email protected]). We look forward to seeing everyone’s pictures in the new directory.

change related to greenhouse gas emissions. Likewise, water pollutants can be transported long distances by wind and rain. There is pollution now in the Arctic region of Canada that has been linked to chemicals (PCBs) dumped into the Great Lakes in the 1970s and earlier. This is why the environment is everyone’s concern, and what happens far away can have an effect on your life right here in Chapel Hill.

The Johnson Intern Program Year-End Dinner and AuctionBy Watty Bowes and Susan Gladin

Every June the Johnson Intern Program, Inc. hosts a Year-End Dinner which is a grand occasion of celebration and thanks: Celebration and acknowledgement of the work, discernment, and spiritual growth of each of the interns throughout the 11 months and thanks to the many individuals and organizations that contribute time, talent, opportunities, and financial support that make the program possible. The highlight of the dinner program is the short (5 minute) presentation that each intern gives describing what they have learned and experienced during their eleven-month sojourn as a Johnson intern. This year, though their talks were planned separately, each intern stated that they’d learned firsthand through community life that, “You are never alone.” That God’s love is spoken so completely through human love. They’d learned a lesson that would last their lifetimes. You will soon be able to see these as well as past interns’ presentations on our website, www.johnsoninternship.org.

Each year the Chapel of the Cross’s own Mary Anne Handy prepares the food, and this year John Williams donated his skill with a BBQ pit and spent the day bringing pork (provided at cost by Cliff’s Meat Market) to perfection for the 100+ diners who gathered for the meal.

The Year-End Dinner event has grown so large that we now meet in the grand fellowship hall of the United Church of Chapel Hill, which has been a supporter of JIP and which graciously donates the use of the hall. We take the occasion to recognize and celebrate the gifts that so many people bring to JIP – board and committee members, the mentors who give their time to an intern all year, the trainers who help us craft a meaningful curriculum, the Partner Organizations who host and train an intern, the Servant Leadership students who take our curriculum, and the many donors without which this program could not operate. Our Chaplain, Susannah Smith, is a key person in the lives of the interns and a tremendous support for the staff. The Chapel of the Cross support, which comes to us as space for the program, financial backing, and the tremendous support of staff and members is beyond computation.

The dinner is always the initial fund raising event for the coming intern year, and therefore an opportunity to

look back on the time this year’s class has spent in learning and service, and also to anticipate the work that lies ahead to welcome eight new interns who will arrive on August 9.

We are pleased to announce that, for the second year, an anonymous donor has issued a $10,000 challenge grant that will double any donation that you make to The Johnson Intern Program before December 31, 2011. We invite your response to this challenge, and you can find a “donate” button on our website (www.johnsoninternship.org), or mail a check to us c/o the church. We also invite you to volunteer with the program as a mentor or committee member, and to take our class in Servant Leadership, which starts on September 9.

This year’s dinner was the inauguration of another event, a silent auction which opened 10 days earlier with on-line bidding and continued in the first hour of the gathering. Bidders were eager to claim one of the 21 prizes, such as lakeside and mountain vacation homes, classes in hand-spinning yarn, a writing workshop, horseback riding lessons, song composition, a day with a master bee keeper or an experienced bird watcher, and a beautiful hand-woven basket, to list a few. Results of the auction were announced midway through the dinner and over $2,500 was raised from the many enthusiastic bidders.

Organizing the year end dinner and auction was in itself a marvelous experience of intergenerational collaborative, learning and sharing expertly accomplished by Susan Gladin (Executive Director), Ebeth Scott-Sinclair (Associate Director), members of the Board of Directors, the 2010-2011 Johnson interns, who planned the program, and a number of JIP alumni who continue to enrich our lives and our program with their ongoing gifts. We commemorate the event with a beautiful booklet which contains a portion of each interns’ presentation, a description of our Servant Leadership curriculum, and a wealth of other material (and

pictures!). If you’d like a copy, email [email protected], or call the parish office.

Plans are well underway for the beginning of a new Church School and Adult Education year. Preparing for the September Kickoff on September 11 entails the recruitment of Church School teachers which has already begun. If you are interested in working with a team of teachers in one of the children or youth classes and have not indicated so, please contact Gretchen Jordan or Boykin Bell now. (929-2193; [email protected] or [email protected])

The annual staff skit will highlight the September 11 intergenerational gathering. Children and youth will visit classes for a short time following the all aged gathering with classes from 10:20 to 11:05 beginning on September 18 for two-year olds through adults.Note some of the adult offerings already on tap for the fall:• Environmental Stewardship Committee presents a series

of programs on Endangered Species in conjunction with the Creation Cycle

• Parent Gatherings for parents with teens and for parents of children

• Episcopal 101, a new two part series on the basics of our denomination

• Monthly Newcomers’ Orientations• Introduction to the Old Testament as Scripture, a 6

session series with David Jamieson-Drake • First-Wednesday Women’s Bible Study on the Letter

from James• Thursday Morning Yoga with Rebecca Rogers

Preparing for September EducationBy Gretchen S. Jordan

A Tuesday evening four-part series titled, The Acts of the Apostles and the acts of the apostles, is scheduled with Richard Pfaff; these classes requires sign up this month! They are scheduled for September 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. in the parish library. Here is Dr. Pfaff’s description of the series: “The most consecutive source for the nascent years of the Christian movement, AD c. 30-60, is the Acts of the Apostles, commonly thought to have been written by Luke the Evangelist. A close look at that book and at other very early Christian writings may help to show both what an extraordinary document Acts is and how complex earliest Christianity seems to have been. Participants will be expected to have read quickly through the whole of Acts (preferably in the Revised Standard Version) before the initial session, and to come

armed with Bibles as well as questions and reflections.” Sign up on the Adult Education Bulletin Board in the dining room.

Specifics details of these programs and others will be in next month’s newsletter and available on the website, www.thechapelofthecross.org.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, the Chapel of the Cross passed another milestone in our process to construct a new parish hall and other space. As the many parishioners who were at the public hearing know, the Chapel of the Cross team made a presentation before a joint meeting of four Town boards and commissions (Planning Board, Historic District Commission, Transportation Board, and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Board) asking the Town to approve a Special Use Permit (SUP) and Zoning Atlas Amendment (ZAA). This was also a milestone for the Town as we were the first ‘test case’ of an applicant presenting to a joint meeting of the four boards/commissions – a time saver for all involved.

The Rector introduced the Chapel of the Cross team and provided some background on the long process the parish has taken (nearly ten years) to arrive at this historic moment. Alan Rimer then led the team through a detailed presentation of the justification of the application. Terry Eason spoke of the church history, and Mary Kay Lanzillotta, our architect from Hartman-Cox , provided a dazzling animated video of the new facilities. Tony Whitaker, our consultant from Civil Consultants who developed the Special Use Permit application, and Syd Alexander assisted in the presentation.

It was a very lengthy process starting at 7:00 p.m. and going to nearly11:00 p.m. All four boards/commission voted to recommend approval of our project to the Town Council. The one exception to this approval was the Planning Board, which voted its approval contingent upon the Chapel of the Cross demonstrating that the parish and UNC will collaborate in providing access to our property for construction in Phase 2. They also wanted to be assured that there would continue to be access for emergency vehicles

through the Morehead parking lot. We anticipate getting a letter from the University in support of our application. It was also requested that we consider a variation in the length of time we would be given to complete Phase 2 without further reapplication of the SUP to the Town.

Many parishioners endorsed the project and spoke eloquently about subjects ranging from the long and thoughtful planning process that led us to this point to the ability the new facilities will provide for additional outreach services to the community with increased space. David Frazelle provided some humorous relief about some of the features of the new facilities including the need for the planned showers – he often bikes to work!

What was presented? If you go to www.thechapelofthecross.org/building-our-future.html you will be able to view a PDF of the entire presentation made to the Town. Basically, the SUP application proposed retention of the historic chapel and sanctuary, and demolition of 28,000 square feet of floor area in the Yates and Battle buildings in Phase 1. A 70,000 square foot 4-story addition including a new fellowship hall and classrooms would be constructed in two phases. By the end of the construction period there would be an 80,000 square foot total floor area and parking for 16 vehicles.

Plans are moving forward for the development of construction drawings as authorized by the Vestry over the coming months. A Light on the Hill will shine brightly with the additional financial support of parishioners and approval of our plans by the Chapel Hill Town Council in the fall of this year.

Sometime in Advent, as we’re sorting through Christmas carol books and pageant costumes, the Children and Family Ministry Committee starts thinking about Vacation Church School. Last December (probably influenced by the season), we decided our 2011 theme would be The Liturgical Year. We’d learn about Lent one day, Easter another. We’d celebrate Christmas in July.

We probably will do that one summer (just think of the crafts and music!) but when this year’s Epiphany came around, we received word that Episcopal Relief and Development would be offering a Vacation Church School curriculum centered around Millennium Development Goal #1: End Hunger. Episcopal churches throughout the country would be using it. These parishes would be planting an “Abundant Life Garden” and together, those churches would be nurturing a “harvest” to help feed and care for hungry neighbors. How could we not want not want to be part of that ?

By this time in our planning, we were approaching Lent (remember how many weeks there were between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday this year?) Committee members were pining for fresh greens at the Farmers’ Market, and trading kale recipes. (Somebody’s child must have complained about winter squash.) The Farmers’ Market talk made us think of Margaret Gifford.

Margaret is a parishioner who attended a parish intergenerational event on hunger several years ago. She left that event determined to do something to stop food insecurity in North Carolina; and soon afterwards, she founded Farmer Foodshare. Farmer Foodshare is a non-profit organization that helps farmers and farmers’ market shoppers donate fresh produce to those in need. As important as canned and other shelf-stable goods are to those served by the Inter-Faith Council, TABLE, Fuel-up Perry Harrison, and other groups, fresh produce is essential to them, too. Fresh produce offers not just nutrition but a sense of community and an acknowledgement that we are all worthy of the gifts from God’s bountiful gardens.

Vacation Church SchoolBy Boykin Bell

The Episcopal Relief and Development curriculum suggested teaching children about different gifts from God, including clean water, seeds, rich soil, animals, and harvests. The Children and Family Ministry Committee decided to focus on why these gifts are important for healthy crops and why becoming good stewards of these resources also makes us good Christian neighbors. By Pentecost, a curriculum tailored to the Chapel of the Cross was complete.

Each morning of Vacation Church School (June 27 – July 1), children watched a Bible story skit that including one of God’s gifts. One day, our rector portrayed Moses as he followed God’s command to strike a rock with his staff so clean water would flow for the thirsty Israelites. Another day, David Frazelle acted as the Good Shepherd who searched for one lost sheep even when he had ninety-nine others. Mary Anne Handy and Marsha Pate played Naomi and Ruth, who left a land of famine to glean the fields in Bethlehem. These Bible stories started discussions that lasted throughout the mornings as the children rotated through Home Base, Crafts, Music, Outdoor Play, and a Garden Center.

In the Garden Center, children met people in our community who tend to our garden gifts. Wendy Smith from the Town of Chapel Hill Storm Water Management office brought an interactive “enviroscape” display to help the children learn about water run-off. Margaret Gifford talked about seed sharing. Brain Rosa, from the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, brought worms and compost. Liz Stabenow, a local science educator, brought a chicken!

We also thanked God, through song, for these many gifts. Elizabeth Terry, our Cantus Choir Director, taught the children hymns, anthems, and sing-alongs (including both “Keep Me,” which is a Cantus Choir favorite, and “Old McDonald Had a Farm”). The older children learned to play the hand chimes and shared a song with the other children and volunteers the last day.

Throughout the week, the children made crafts to sell at a Friday “parlor market” (which was like a street market, but inside). The children made farmers’ market shopping bags, decorative flower pots, homemade stationary, bread cloths, and refrigerator magnets to raise money for Farmer Foodshare. Since their original works of art were “priceless” in value, the children sold their wares for donations. Those donations totaled nearly $700, which helped Farmer Foodshare meet a challenge grant that gave the organization $10,000! The money will allow Farmer Foodshare to continue its work of providing fresh, healthy produce to those in need. It will also allow a seed that was planted years ago on a Sunday morning to bloom and flourish for years to come.

It’s thrilling to see ideas come to fruition, especially ideas that encourage our young parishioners’ faith to grow. That’s one reason the Children and Family Ministry Committee will start planning the 2012 Vacation Church School before Christmas. We welcome suggestions and volunteers.

Vestry ActionsAt its meeting on June 16, the Vestry:• Affirmed the expense reimbursement policy• Approved ABC sale disbursement recommendations• Endorsed an application to the diocese for a “Living Historical Church” designation for the chapel• Re-approved the Best Operating Practices developed a year ago• Learned that Scott Beddingfield will chair the fall Annual Giving Campaign• Learned that Building and Grounds is conducting a review of the current insurance policies covering property

and contents.

August will be my final month on staff at the Chapel of the Cross. I will devote the next phase of my life to studying Chemistry at the University of Durham in the United Kingdom. While I am overjoyed – and overwhelmed – by the opportunity to return to student life, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a staff member and new Episcopalian! The hospitality and support I received here will never be forgotten. Thank you the staff, vestry and parishioners who have made the Chapel of the Cross such a delightful environment in which to work and worship.

Thank you, and farewell!By Marty Rogers, Communications and Technology Manager
