Dailyprayer is a habit I havelargely ignored in my life. Re-cently I startedpayingmoreat-tention to this important Chris-tianroutine.IfeelIhavehadaspiritual awakening.

In my childhood I was im-mersed in the routines of thechurch. I had a sort of churchbackstagepassbecausemyfa-ther was a minister for theUnitedMethodistChurch.Sun-day mornings always included

REASON FOR THE ROUTINE

COMMUNITY LENTEN SERVICES

byFr.GeorgeWiley

A flapoccurred intheEpisco-pal Church last year when theRev. Kevin Forrester waselectedbishopoftheDioceseofNorthern Michigan. The flap in-volvedFr.Forrestersbeingbothan Episcopal priest and a layBuddhist. Thoughduly elected,he did not receive enoughconsents from other diocesesto take officeand isserving in-

stead asamissioner for North-ernMichigan.

Whats wrong with being aChristian and a Buddhist?Whats a Christian to think ofBuddhism, Islam, Judaism, andtheworldsotherfaiths?

Alister McGrath is a goodguide here. His book ChristianTheology: an Introduction givesthree options for viewing othertraditions:particularism,inclusiv-

ism,andpluralism.

In particularism, the idea isthatGodhasrevealed theWayandtheTruthand theLifeinJe-sus Christ.This revela-tioncannotbesetalongsidetheideasofrevelationfoundinotherreligious traditions. So writesHendrikKraemer,aDutchtheo-logian. Particularists hold thatonecanknowGodonlythroughJesusChrist. They believe thatthoughotherreligionsmayoffer

ideas about God, these ideasaremisleading orwrong unlessviewedthroughaChristianlens.

McGraths second option, in-clusivism, tellsus thatotherre-ligions, despite their limitations,may transmit Gods savinggrace. He takes this view fromRomanCatholic theologianKarlRahner.Inthisoption,GodisatworkinthetraditionsofTaoists,Sikhs, and others. Christianity

remainswhatRahner calls theabsolute religion, but inclusiv-

ism affirms other faiths where

particularismdoesnt. In the third option, pluralism,all religions are valid paths toGod.EpiscopalianMarcusBorgis a pluralist. Borg asks us toconsider a hand pointing to themoon.Themoonisthedivineorultimate reality. Each finger ofthehandisareligioustradition.Thepoint, saysBorg, is seeingthe moon. We shouldnt getsidetrackedbynoticingthateach

finger differs from the others inbeliefsandpractices.

There you are: three options.

ApluralistmightwellsaythatFr.

Forrester is fine being a Chris-

tianandaBuddhist;whatabout

the other twooptions? I believe

that salvation in Christ is the

worlds central reality but that

thissalvationembracesallpeo-

ple,whatever their religious tra-

dition.Andyou?

Jesus said, Be compassion-ateasyourFatherinHeaveniscompassionate.

Pastoral care meansreachingout to one another in compas-sion and love. It is a way ofbearing one anothers burdens,so that no one has to feel iso-latedandalone.Anditisawayof reminding one another andtheworldthatthenatureofGod

is love. Every Christian shouldbe involved in giving pastoralcare, but somehavechosen tobecomepastoral visitors and tomakepastoralcaretheirprimaryministry. Asdeacons,we areresponsi-bleforfacilitatingregularvisitstopeople who are home boundduetoage,illness,orinjury.Wetry toarrange visits acoupleoftimes a month. The deacons

alsousuallyvisitpeoplewhoareadmitted to the hospital. Thepastoralcarevisitors,alongwiththe Eucharistic Visitors, meetonce a month to pray for thepeoplewevisit,andtoshareanyconcernsthepersonmighthavethat need to be referred to thepriestsorotheragencies. In Romans (12:15), St. Paulwrote,Behappywiththosewhoarehappyandweepwith thosewhoweep.Listeningisaprinci-ple of Christian care that hasuniversal application. Effectivelisteningdemandsconcentrationandpatience. We can expressthetruthoftheGospelmostef-fectivelywhenwefirstcommuni-cate ourdesireto listen.Some-times our eagerness to say theright thing obscures the real

needs ofpeoplewe visit. What

shouldwelistenfor?Listenforfeelings.Ouremotionsareoftenstrongest when circumstancesseembeyondourcontrol.Listenforneeds.Youmaynotbeabletoassistthepersonyourself,butyoumaybeabletobringthein-formationtotheattentionofoth-erswhoareabletohelp.Some-timestheyaskforhelpindirectlywith questions like, Why doesGodletpeoplesuffer?Weare

notexpectedtohaveallthean-swers. If you are visiting a home-boundperson,dontintrudeintotheprivateaffairsoftheperson.Dont overstay your visit, espe-cially if the person is gettingtired.Dontspreadnegativeatti-tudes or gossip.

theyshouldgiveyoupermissiontotellothers.Youarenotthereasa professional person. Youareneededasafriend,notasadoctororpsychologist.Getper-mission to place a personsnameontheprayerlistatchurchorontheprayerchain.

A second category for visitingis the Eucharistic Visitor. Eu-charisticVisitors arelaypersonstrained by the deacons and li-

censed by the bishop. Theywork with the deacons to takecommunion from our Sundayservices to parishioners whocannotattendchurchonalong-termbasis.Someoftheprinci-ples for Eucharistic visiting arethe same as pastoral care.However, the main reason fortheEucharisticvisitiscommun-

ion. The visit should not be

longerthantwentyminutes.Thisisanimportantministrybecauseitkeepsthehomeboundincom-munion with the whole congre-gation.Itcanbeaverysacredtimeinapersonslife. Thegiftofyourpresenceistheessence of a Christian visit.Sharing prayer and scripturedoes not necessarily make thevisitChristian,nor does theab-sence of these things make it

non-Christian.Itiswisetohavesomeresourcestouseforvisit-ing. Our traditional resourcesare the Bible, the Prayer BookandtheHymnal.IntheBookofCommonPrayertherearemanyresources such as prayers forthe sick, the Psalter, and otherprayersandthanksgivings. Being involved with a lovingcommunityisarequirementforahealthychurch.EucharisticVisi-

tors and Pastoral Visitors canbring the Church to those whoare lonely, sick or are home-bound. Some of the principlesusedinvisitingathomecanbeusedbyanyone in many situa-tions.

In the parish,myRectorand I are co-teaching a Lentenclass on the silence of God.Some parishioners have ex-pressedconcernsaboutwhetheror not God is present in theirlives. Were reading throughBarbara Brown Taylors bookWhenGodisSilentandexplor-ing different reasons why Godmaynotseemactiveinourlives
