“A Bible-reading laity is the strength of a church.” —J.C. Ryle (First Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, 1880-1900)

I’m not exactly sure of the precise moment when this happened, but sometime within the last year my youngest child became able to amuse herself unattended for some small periods of time. This is a magical development for her parents! It means, for example, that dinner can now be cooked with something approximating efficiency. But most importantly, perhaps critically, it means that Libby’s parents can now resume doing some normal grown-up things again like picking up a book for pleasure every once in a while. Generous blocks of reading time are opportunities I will never take for granted again!

Both my parents were voracious readers—and I’ve turned out to be cut from the same cloth. It was my grandmother, however, who was the first person in our family of Newfoundland fishermen who could really read. And how she came to read is a story I still find remarkable. After my great-grandmother’s conversion to Christianity, it became terribly important to her that the family own a Bible and actually read it. The task fell to my grandmother. Every evening she would read a chapter to her parents and her brothers and sisters. What I would give now to be a participant in one of those evening reading sessions! There are 1189 chapters in the Protestant canon of scripture; 260 of those are in the New Testament. During the final years of her illness, it was I who would read to my grandmother whenever I visited. A chapter a day was still her rule.

Most of us instinctively understand the need for our children to be read to from a quality children’s Bible. We do not need to be persuaded of the intrinsic benefits of a basic biblical literacy. And the stories are pretty compelling too! My own children never balk at, and routinely ask for, the stories from our own children’s Bible at bedtime. This type of activity remains the single most effective thing I can recommend to new parents who wish to invest in their child’s life of faith.

But what about us? Please do not for one moment believe that the daily reading of Scripture is either child’s play or the domain of religious professionals. It isn’t! Every Christian should consider it both their care and delight to intentionally take some time each day to read from the Scriptures. Naturally, there are a number of different ways to do this. I would consider the recitation of the Daily Office of Morning and Evening Prayer to be the parade example of daily Bible reading, but it is by no means the only one. Bishop Curry began 2013 with a public pledge to read the whole Bible in a year (very doable, and you do NOT need to start on January 1!). Maybe you would like to start small, and just read a few verses from one of the Gospels each morning before work? That’s a great place to begin.

But the more I think about it, my grandmother’s regimen of a chapter a day is just about right. (And the experts agree: start with Matthew, not Genesis, and pick a modern translation like the New Revised Standard Version). A chapter a day is substantial enough to mark progress, but gentle enough so as not to discourage. It’s weighty enough to dig down deep, but small enough to leave you wanting more the next day. And what you will soon have is a daily routine that you both look forward to and find you cannot long be without. A chapter a day.

—Clarke French, Rector

Some notes from the Rector I’m pleased to inform the parish that our new website is nearing completion and should be online soon. The new site is being constructed on a WordPress platform and is being designed to balance functionality, simplicity and visual attractiveness. A launch date will be announced soon. The recent visit to Holy Family of the Rev. Jo Bailey Wells, newly appointed chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, has resulted in my agreeing to host an English seminarian from Cranmer Hall at St. John’s College, Durham. The young woman, whom I hope to introduce to you soon, will likely spend the month of August here at Holy Family learning a bit about the American church. — Clarke French

“Richer than kings I shall ever be; I had a mother who read to me.” Most of the children served by the Augustine Project cannot make that claim. Won’t you consider giving thanks to God, helping a disadvantaged child and honoring your mother by making a Mother’s Day contribution to the Augustine Project? Simply fill out a form (available on the counter in the church office) and place it with your check in the Augustine Project mailbox. Your mother will receive a handwritten card—including the verse above—letting her know that she has been remembered in this way. Another option is to send a card to your daughter or daughter-in-law, thanking her for reading to your grandchildren. Please turn in the form by Sunday, May 5, to ensure on-time arrival for Mother’s Day (May 12).

News of the Augustine Project • In March, the ALP held its fifth annual directors’ meeting (and first overnight retreat), a forum for

sharing information and inspiration. Among other business, directors from 11 chapters worked diligently on a new Replication Agreement that will help guide the Project’s growth in the coming years. Special thanks to Alan McConnell and his law firm, Kilpatrick Townsend, for their pro bono services on this project.

• The Great Human Race will take place on April 6, beginning at Northgate Mall in Durham at 8:00 a.m. Walkers and runners of all ages are welcome to join the ALP team for this 5 K that provides nearly 25% of the Project’s annual budget. Please let Debbie McCarthy know if you plan to participate so the team can be on the lookout for you in the Northgate parking lot. (919-408-0798 or augustineproject@msn.com)

• The summer tutor training course at Holy Family and Estes Hills Elementary will be held July 8-19. A fall training will be held at Watts St. Church in Durham, October 7-18. Please contact Debbie at your earliest convenience if you would like to be trained this year!

CROP Walk is Sunday, April 21 Our team will meet at the Carrboro Town Commons at 2:15 p.m. and set off with the other walkers at 2:30. CROP Walk is a four-mile, family-friendly stroll along the streets of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and through the UNC campus. The Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk supports hunger relief efforts globally and locally. 75% of the money raised goes to hunger programs, refugees, disaster relief, and self-help projects in more than 80 countries. The remaining 25% stays in Carrboro and Chapel Hill to support the IFC's food programs. Over the years more than $1 million has been raised by the Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk to support hunger-relief efforts. Please consider how you can join in this good cause as a walker or financial contributor. Learn more and sign up at the CROP Walk table on Sundays, April 7, 14, and 21. You can also find our team online.
