Pastors 2 Cents From: Fr. Jim DeBruycker

Scripture scholar, Bart Ehrman, has written over 30 books on understanding scripture. He started as a fundamentalist bible inerrancy advocate and ended up as a main proponent of the historical-critical method of Scripture study and an agnostic. He is obviously not a hero of the fundamentalists or many of orthodox Christians. He can be very hard on ‘mainline’ church pastors. Most mainline Protestant churches (Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, UCC, etc.) and the Catholic Church support the historical critical method until it interferes or questions their dogmatic statements such as woman's ordination or virgin birth. Ehrman’s complaint is that pastors who know better often gloss over inconsistencies in the Scriptures in preference for the Hallmark moment, you know - wood crèches, magi against the starry sky, Mary sprawled out between the sphinx’s paws. Take today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles, showing a utopian, communal Church where all are at peace with each other. Luke, the author, wrote this Gospel appendix probably in the late 70’s C.E. whereas Paul, writing his letters 30 - 40 years earlier, gives us a much more conflicted Church. At odds with Peter and James, there is argument concerning theology and who’s in charge. Part of Paul’s mission was also to collect money for the Jerusalem Church - everything was not bread and roses. I bring all this up because sometimes we think we are so much worse off than our ancestors. Each era has their challenges. When Paul wrote, he had no idea the Jewish world would be hit with the apocalyptic destruction of the temple which would bring a whole new relationship between Christianity and Judaism. Luke was writing post destruction and was trying to present a picture of a Church growing in Spirit and in unity - the kingdom of God coming to fruition. He had a point of view and molded his facts and Gospel around it. As a church we know the facts might be skewed, but the principle of a Spirit-filled community is something we cherish. The Gospel story of Thomas is another example: On the face of it is a story about a man going from doubt to faith, but it has other nuances. John was writing his Gospel to discredit a sect which said Jesus’ having a corporeal body was not important, and/or he really wasn’t divine and human. Time and time again, John will bring up flesh and blood in his writing because he believes strongly that this divine/flesh combination is instrumental for our salvation. This week’s message is that the Church is always spirited-filled and should always be meeting the challenges of the times. Our Easter celebration holds up a God who was and is us, and that his death and resurrection has forever given humanity eternal value by his taking on a flesh and blood body. Finally, being Church is not a mental exercise but also a physical acting in the world - walking it as well as talking it.

Gym Masses

Presider: Fr. DeBruycker

We will lift up the story of A Journey Home in photos and reflections. On Fri-day night, 50 SJA confirmants and 25 adult volunteers spent the night in our parking lot, sleeping in boxes, learning about homelessness and raising money for our SJA Outreach Fund: CARE Com-mittee, through which we will assist more than 100 families this year in maintaining housing and utilities. Thank you to our youth and leaders!

We welcome the youngest member of our SJA music team, Grant Vague, to sing two solos at today's gym liturgies. Grant is a freshman at Augsburg College and continues his love of singing here with us! We are happy and grateful!
