CCB Welcomes Philip Stopford as Director of Music

Robert G. Owen Organ ScholarRobert G. Owen served as Organist and Choirmaster at Christ Church for 45 years. An incredibly gifted musician, Bob was famous not only for the work he did at Christ Church but also for his skills as a concert organist in this country and abroad.Bob inspired hundreds of young singers and students of piano, organ and harpsichord, many of whom went on to careers in music. He also inspired several of his choristers to enter the priesthood.At his retirement in 1988, the vestry voted to install a set of stained glass clerestory windows in the nave to honor Bob’s service to Christ Church. Those windows are immediately on the right of the church as you enter from the narthex. The window was completed in 1994 and honors Olivier Messiaen, Bob’s favorite composer and organist. The three windows together recall the themes of suffering, death, resurrection and ascension in Messiaen’s work. The center window is etched with the name Owen.Additionally, almost ten years ago an anonymous gift was used to initiate an organ scholar position in Bob’s

name. It seeks to honor Bob’s legacy by supporting the education of young organists as parish musicians and performers.It is a great delight to announce that the title of Robert G. Owen Organ Scholar has been given to Alexander Pattavina, in recognition of the quality of his work and his commitment to building the faith of this congregation through music.As many of you know, Alex is a sophomore at Juilliard, studying under the renowned organist Paul Jacobs.Please congratulate Alex when you see him, or email him your congratulations at his new email address:apattavina@ccbny.org

It is with great pleasure that I have returned to Christ Church as your Director of Music. When Father Bird invited me to become Composer in Residence and Interim Director of Music last September, I had no idea that I would be moving from the United Kingdom to America on a more permanent basis, but I couldn’t be more thrilled. Christ Church is a wonderful place full of talent and brimming with op-portunity for all. In September 2015, this was immediately apparent to me, and I am excited to further enhance and explore music making and spiritual revitalization amongst this new community, of which I am so proud to be a part. I look forward to working with The Rector, Organ Scholar, choir mem-bers and children in creating beautiful and meaningful worship, along side exciting concerts, performances and recordings. I feel honored and blessed to have been called to Christ Church in my life and ministry, and hope to serve the Parish to the best of my ability. I know that there is a deep sense of spirituality, tradition, outreach and service to the community at Christ Church, and I look forward to playing my part in the wonderful work that goes on here in Bronxville; my new home! - Philip W. J. Stopford

Palm Sunday - Sunday, March 20th 8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist – Rite I10:00 a.m. Family Eucharist – Rite II5:00 p.m. Informal Eucharist

The official title of this Sunday is The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday. In its current form it conflates two historic Sundays – Palm and Passion Sunday and as a result is has a very distinctive and meaningful nature.The first part of the service is the Liturgy of the Palms, which precedes the Eucharistic liturgy. The distribution, blessing and carrying of Palm Branches into the church celebrates Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem.The principal part of the service, which directly follows, is centered on the solemn proclamation of the Passion Gospel. In the dramatic change from Palm to Passion Sunday we are reminded how quickly we can abandon our promises to God and our focus on God’s role in our lives. The eucharist that follows maintains a very penitential atmosphere, setting the tone for Holy Week and our making the way of the cross with Christ. The service ends in silence.Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week - Holy Eucharist at 7 a.m.

Ash Wednesday Wednesday, February 10th 7 a.m., 12 p.m. & 7 p.m.Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and penitence, is the gateway to Lent. The ashes we receive remind us of our mortality. Our coming to receive them is a sign that we will make a sincere effort to cleanse our lives of sin and to put God first. Ash Wednesday calls us to put aside pride and choose humility. It calls us to acknowledge our failings and amend our hearts in the comfort of knowing that we are loved.

4 THE SPIRE

After the Maundy Thursday service, volunteers keep vigil with the sacrament in one hour shifts until the service on Good Friday. We do this in remembrance of our Lord’s request to his disciples to stay awake with him in the Garden of Gethsemane. We need at least two parishioners per hour. Please look for the sign up sheet in the narthex closer to Holy Week.

Tenebrae Wednesday, March 23rd 7 p.m.The name Tenebrae (which is the Latin word for darkness or shadows) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services of the last three days of Holy Week. In the current Episcopal Tradition these services are abbreviated and occur only on Wednesday evening. The most striking feature of Tenebrae is the gradual extinguishing of candles and other lights until only a single candle remains – a symbol of our Lord. Toward the end of the service this candle is hidden, illustrating the apparent victory of the forces of darkness. Then, at the darkest moment of the service, a loud noise is made, symbolizing the earthquake at the time of the Resurrection (Matthew 28:2). The hidden candle is restored and by its light all depart in silence. At heart Tenebrae is an extended musical and prayerful meditation upon the events in our Lord’s life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection.

Maundy Thursday Thursday, March 24th 7 p.m.Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter. The name Maundy Thursday is derived from the Latin mandatum novum,“new commandment,” found in John 13:34. Maundy Thursday celebrations also commemorate the institution of the eucharist by Jesus “on the night he was betrayed.” Once everyone has received communion, a member of the clergy and two acolytes process the reserve sacrament to the Lady Chapel. At the conclusion of the service the lights are dimmed and the altar is stripped and washed. Any decorative elements left in the sanctuary are then removed from the church and the entire congregation moves to the Lady Chapel to begin the vigil at the altar of repose by singing songs from the Monastery at Taizé.

Good Friday Friday, March 25th 12 p.m.Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Day, on which the church commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a day of fasting and special acts of discipline and self-denial. The liturgy of the day includes John’s account of the Passion Gospel, a ritual form of intercession known as the Solemn Collects (dating from ancient Rome), and devotions before the cross (commonly known as the Veneration of the Cross).

The Eucharist (because it is a joyful event) is not celebrated in the Episcopal Church on Good Friday, but Holy Communion is administered from the reserved sacrament. The form of this service was in place and widely practiced by the end of the fifth century in Jerusalem. During the Good Friday liturgy, children will participate in the Stations of the Cross beginning in Taylor Hall. They will then move upstairs to join their parents for the Veneration of the Cross.

5 THE SPIRE

Flowers & MusicHelp bring the gift of flowers and music to Christ Church Bronxville this Easter. Donations are accepted in memory of loved ones or in thanksgiving for blessings received. Easter symbols of the Resurrection (flowers and music) are expensive! Help Christ Church by sharing the this significant financial burden.

Great Vigil of Easter Saturday, March 26th 7 p.m.The Easter Vigil is the liturgy intended as the first celebration of Easter in The Book of Common Prayer (pp. 284-95). It is also known as the Great Vigil. The service begins in darkness, between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter, and consists of four parts: The Service of Light (kindling of new fire, lighting the Paschal Candle, the Exsultet); The Service of Lessons (readings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with psalms, canticles, and prayers); Holy Baptism (when there are candidates); and the eucharist. Through this liturgy, the Church has reinstituted an ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast.

Easter Sunday, Sunday, March 27th 9 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.The Feast of the Resurrection celebrates our Lord’s triumphant victory over sin and death. This celebration also ushers in the Easter Season which lasts through Pentecost, 50 days later.

6 THE SPIRE

Crispell Lounge after 10 a.m. serviceThe season of Lent, a time of reflection and active engagement with our faith, is a perfect time to tackle the Book of Job. Harold Kushner describes the Book of Job as: “a full-length argument about whether the misfortunes that befall ostensibly good people come to them from the hand of God.”If we want to believe that ours is a moral world, the scene of justice and fairness, we need to confront the arguments presented in what is probably the most challenging book in the entire Bible: the book of Job.Please join us in the Crispell Lounge after the 10 o’clock service starting February 14. The discussions will be led by Hondi Brasco, Jody Maier, John O’Neil, and Warren Ilchman. We will be using the Common English Bible version of the Book of Job. Hard copies of the Book of Job will be available at the coffee hour and in the Parish Office. The Book of Job and a helpful study guide can be read and downloaded online. Please contact Katie Gojkovich if you need these materials.

Sunday Short Series: Lent Edition

Experiencing the Psalms in LentSomething new is happening on Sunday, February 28th – and you are invited!

Between the 10am service and Evensong at 5pm, the entire Book of Psalms will be read aloud. All are welcome to come and go as you please. Why attend? The Psalms model ways for us to talk to God with words that encompass all possible human experiences and emotions from lament to cursing to praise. Save the date and join us for this special reading project! We will begin in the Lady Chapel and move to the Crispell Lounge. Feel free to bring your Bible. Copies of the Psalter, light snacks and beverages will be provided. Then consider closing your day with Evensong.

Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. (Psalm 51:15)

What’s Happening in EYC

The EYC has been in full swing since Christmas! At our first meeting of 2016, representatives from One Love facilitated their Escalation workshop. One Love is a national non-profit based in Bronxville that works to ends relationship violence. The meeting began by viewing their Escalation movie, and then moved into small discussion groups that were lead by trained Bronxville graduate volunteers. That following Friday through Saturday morning, about sixteen kids came to the church for the EYC lock-in. We had a scavenger hunt, played games and cards, held night prayer, watched Star Wars, and ate - a lot! Additionally, a small group attended a racial justice conference at Trinity Wall Street on Thursday, January 21st. The EYC participated in their spring Midnight Run on February 6th, and leaves for a nine day pilgrimage to the monastery in Taizé, France on February 12th. Taizé is a monastery for all Christians founded during World War II as a place of reconciliation. While there, teenagers experience a Christian community life with young people from all over the world, while spending time praying and reflecting. We are so excited for this transformative experience, and are looking forward to the rest of the semester! - McKenzie Burton

9 THE SPIRE

Two members of the EYC attended the first night of Trinity Wall Street’s annual institute, Listen For a Change: Sacred Conversations for Racial Justice. The article below is written by Ali Barker, one of the two attendees, about her experience at the conference.

Dusk was rapidly falling as we stepped out of the subway and into the cool night air. Johanna and I had no idea what to expect out of the night, so we let McKenzie lead the way. We walked toward Trinity Wall Street church, a building whose tall, intimidating structure sharply contrasted the welcoming orange glow of lights within. We sat in our pew, stomachs full of Shake Shack, waiting for the ceremony to start. I felt a pang of nervousness. Would we feel out of place here, among all of these older, wiser twentysomethings? Soon enough, a woman and a man took the stage, kicking off the conference by leading the congregation in a variety of folk songs. My worries were quickly subdued. Some songs we knew, some we didn’t, but it was obvious that everyone was enjoying themselves. The songs created an atmosphere of openness that lasted the whole night.After the congregation was thoroughly warmed up and comfortable, the singers reminded us to buy their albums and walked off, marking the start of a beautiful procession and subsequent ninety minute church service. The Rt. Rev. Dietsche, the Bishop of New York, welcomed us all and led us in the first prayer. I was comforted by the remarkable similarity of this service with those at Christ Church. The children’s choir sounded beautiful, the hymns were familiar, and we were versed in the Bible readings. However,

McKenzie, Johanna, and I were all a little starstruck when The Most Rev. Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, took the pulpit. The sermon that he delivered was heartfelt and personal. He talked about his grandmother’s capacity through God to turn hatred into love, and spoke with such enthusiasm that not an eye wandered from the pulpit for the full twenty minutes.After the service, we had five minutes to stretch and talk to those around us, and then we filed back into our pew to hear a keynote speech. Michelle Norris, a journalist and NPR reporter, spoke to us about her experience with racial identity. Norris described growing up hating conversations about race and racial identity. Only recently had she embraced the discussion and begun actively seeking out the experiences of others. Primarily, she has done this through her Pulitzer Prize-winning project, The Race Card. Participants in the ongoing project have sent in thousands of six-word sentences describing their personal experience with race. Over the years, the project has expanded, and the website now allows people to send in longer stories and photos, if wanted. Norris’ talk was insightful and moving, especially as she read to us some submissions of The Race Card.It was ten o’clock by the time we left the church, and our excitement had turned to fatigue. Regardless, it was clear that the conference had changed something within us. What had started as simply a fun way to spend a weeknight had turned out to be an event that we will remember the rest of our lives. Undoubtedly, this experience will shape the way that we view and speak about the topic of race. - Ali Barker

YAA Performs at Episcopal Charities’ Tribute Dinner

Episcopal Charities recently extended its profound thanks to Christ Church, which contributed significant time, talent, and treasure to Episcopal Charities’ Annual Tribute Dinner, held December 2 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Young at Arts – an afterschool arts program founded by Christ Church – provided the evening’s musical entertainment, and more parishioners attended the event than in any previous year. Honoring banking executives Jeffery M. Peek and Anthony J. Walton, the event raised a record-breaking $1.2 million dollars. “We are honored and grateful that so many Christ Church parishioners attended and supported the event,” said Episcopal Charities’ Executive Director.The vocal performance by YAA was a highlight of the evening. Through a medley that included “Carefully Taught” from the musical South Pacific, “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods, and the R&B hit Ooh Ooh Child, the performance touched on themes of social division and reconciliation, bringing more

than 700 guests to their feet in a standing ovation. Singers included 30 current students and 3 alumni soloists from diverse racial and economic backgrounds, conducted by Christ Church Bronxville’s Director of Music, Philip Stopford and accompanied by YAA’s Musical Director Charles duChateau and faculty musicians Annbritt duChateau and Dave Fabris. “For 10 years, YAA has brought many children to Christ Church Bronxville,” said Sharyn Pirtle, Christ Church member and YAA’s founding Executive Director, “giving them opportunities to learn to sing, act, dance, and most importantly connect with kids they otherwise might not have had the chance to meet.” The lyrics touched on what the children learn from each other and were “the perfect message for what the YAA children embody,” she added. Other Christ Church attendees included The Rev. Michael and Catherine Bird, the Rev. Jennifer Brown, the Rev. Deacon Ella Roundtree-Davis, Phil Sherman

(Episcopal Charities Board Member), Birgitta Sherman, Owen and Jennifer Thomas, Stephen Palfrey and Teresa McRoberts, Jessica Palfrey, Steve and Joanne Jones, Tom Nichols and Carla Countrymen, Peter Johnson, Warren Ilchman, Kevin and Debbie Cook, Joseph and Shruti Philips, Bill and Andrea Bates, Martin Witt, Jon Saltzberg, Art and Paige Nagle, Nora Hogan, McKenzie Burton and Katie Gojkovich. All Tribute Dinner proceeds will be awarded to outreach programs affiliated with parishes across Diocese of New York that help those in need, including two affiliated with Christ Church: Young at Arts and Fessenden House, which provides supportive housing for men in recovery. Episcopal Charities serves as the outreach arm of the diocese and has been supported since its founding in 1996 by Christ Church through events such as the Annual Tribute Dinner and Episcopal Charities Sunday, this year scheduled for Mother’s Day, May 8.
