THANK YOU HOLY REDEEMER SUMMER CHOIR The choir sang throughout most of the summer months at Holy Redeemer Church. We were joined by several college students and we want to thank them for coming to evening rehearsal and Sunday morning Mass. The choir is taking a well-deserved break, and the rehearsals for the 2015-2016 liturgical year will begin on Thursday evening, September 3, 7:30 p.m. at the chapel in the parish center at St. James. Pictured from left to right, first row: Jeri Wheeler, Patti Eyraud, Charlotte Landsberg. Second row: Karolyn Halpin (CSLA), Carol Lewis, Tiffany Srebnack, Ginney Pruitt, Yvonne Magee.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week’s discussion of the permanent diaconate and its restoration will lead inevitably to questions about “deaconesses,” something certainly under study as histori-ans and liturgists research our tradition’s treasures. Today, there are some settings in which women are entrusted with pastoral administration and have been called to preach and to officiate at weddings. Lay people can lead the funeral rites and daily prayer. Yet the question of ordi-nation to the diaconate for women is complex. Yes, we have had deaconesses in our tradition. We know that they assisted with the baptism of women, and that ministries were entrusted to them. We also know that some early church councils took care to call them lay persons, and specifically forbade ordination. What confuses the picture is that they may have been the wives of deacons, who, like the wives of priests and bishops, were expected to serve the community as exemplars of the Christian life. Long after deaconesses disappeared, their ministry was treasured and carried on by religious women in consecrat-ed life. It is clear that one of our greatest treasures is the vibrant engagement of women in ministry over the centu-ries. What is not as clear is where our questions will lead. —Rev.

Back to school: emergencies in school Most schools have solid emergency procedures in place, and children will be taught how to react in these situations. However, back-to-school season is the perfect time to review safety procedures in your own house. Teach your children what to do if there’s a fire or earthquake, and show them how to call 9-1-1 and other emergency contacts.
