SERMON 5/20/12 Easter 7B
Acts 1:15-17, 21-26; Psalm1; 1 John 5:9-13; John 17:6-19One day a group of friends was shopping in a local mall. It was a normal day of crowded walkways andloud noise; just another day. As thegroup stood at the edge of a large, open space near the food court, the PAsystem began playing an upbeat dance tune. Suddenly, two young women ran into the middle of the crowd and starteddancing. Within five minutes, twodancers became ten, then ten became twenty and then, the whole space was filledwith dancers who were working together, energized, joyful, and they wereinviting others to join in with them. The group of friends out for a stroll in the mall suddenly becamewitnesses to what is known as a “Flash Mob!”
“Flash Mobs” are a new phenomenon that developed whereby,a group of people (sometimes as large as 100+ dancers) all of a sudden show upin the most unexpected places to dance, to perform, to create a shock factorfor those witnessing the spectacle. Thecarefully disguised mobsters, who appear as a part of the crowd, suddenlybecome unified around a common mission and together, they step out in order tobring about an outrageous feat into a mundane afternoon. For a Flash Mob to be effective, you ofcourse, have to have dancers, but there must also be spectators, who are regular folks enjoying a regular day, and then suddenly, they find themselves watching something happening around them. In the midst of a Flash Mob, the folks in the surroundingcrowd may do nothing, some may tap their feet and clap, and then there aresome, who might even join the dance. Canyou imagine the practice, collaboration, and unity necessary to bring as manyas 100 people together for such a feat? So what in the world does a Flash Mob have to do with the Gospel?
Today’s gospel reading is often referred to as Jesus’“High Priestly Prayer” and in it; unity and mission are at the heart of thisprayer. Mission: “As you have sent meinto the world, so I have sent them into the world.” (John 17:18 NRSV) Unity: “so that they may be one, as we areone.” (John 17:11b NRSV) Jesus’ ministry was the incarnation of God’sperfect love among us. Jesus was sentinto the world to bring the experience of God’s love to us, in himself. Equally, Christ sends us disciples out, inorder to carry forth that mission of love and reconciliation to the world. In a peculiar way, Jesus sends us out to be a“Flash Mob” for the Gospel, in the unexpected and unlikely lives of the peoplewhom God loves.
“So that they maybe one, as we are one.” If you ever havethe opportunity to watch the dance of a “Flash Mob” in person, you will noticethat the dancers are all in step with each other. They have a common purpose and they have amutual goal. Like those dancers, thechurch has common purpose and clear mission, which is to be gathered intounity, so that we might carry forth Christ’s ministry of reconciliation. However, we sometimes get distracted.
Dean Lueking wrote an article in Christian Century a fewyears ago, that challenges the problems of church distractions and calls usback to our mission. Lueking asserts“The blight . . . of power games, and the obsession with always being rightstill throws up huge, offensive roadblocks against Jesus' prayer. Such sin drags us back to the Upper Room . .. to the grief of our Lord over our tearing apart the seamless robe of unifyinglove in which he would wrap us. “ 2 When we lose sight of our mission, our callto witness to the gospel in the world, our mission fails, and the world around usis unable to come to know the love of God. We must live in unity in Christ in the church, so that others will knowthat same unity. For us to accomplishour mission, which is “to bring all people into unity with God and each otherin Christ,” (BCP p. 855) we must seek our common purpose, and a mutual ministrytogether. We must dance the dance oflove together.
Unity happens, when we begin to dance in the circle oflove of God, but we must never forget that coming together is not merely forour sake. In today’s Gospel, “Christ prays ceaselessly for and through thechurch to the world—that they may be one, as we are one.”2 “For God so loved the world," it doesnot say For God so loved the church. That may be hard to hear, but it isthrough the mission of the church, God “seeks to reclaim and redeem a worldgone astray from that love, and to draw that world back into the sphere of thatlove.” 1
Our unity is not merely for us to be at peace and withoutstrife as a gathering, our mutual life together is a visible sign, and itchallenges the world about Jesus’ ministry. Because “if Jesus was sent into the world as one who sanctified himselffor the sake of his followers, so that they might be sanctified in truth, andif they are sent into the world as he was sent into the world, does this notraise the question of the purpose of our sanctification.” 1 Sanctification is about being set aside for a holy purpose. We are sanctified, we are set apart, and ourpurpose is to witness to life!
In Christ, we live as witnesses to life in the midst oftragedy, life in the midst of death, and life everlasting. Our hope is in Christ, in God’s promise oflove, in which we will never be abandoned. Our lives are changed by this kind of faith, and it will change theworld that is, if we but recognize the gift and give it away. With that kind of good news in our lives, wemust share it.
We the church are brought together to learn to live thelife of reconciliation together, but not for ourselves alone. It is by this communal dance of mercy, grace,reconciliation, and love that takes place among us, that we can go out andshare it with the world. We are sent outto invite others into this dance.
We are called to be a “Flash Mob of the Gospel” thatshows up in those unexpected places and situations: in coffeehouses, stores, and restaurants;with the sick, poor, downtrodden, and the hopeless; and we just show upeverywhere God sends us. We are unifiedin Christ, sanctified by love, and sent out into a hurting world. With joy, exuberance, energy and the supportof the Holy Spirit, we are called to dance the jig of resurrection, of newlife, of everlasting life in Christ, not just here, but out there.
It is when out there we show up out there as agents ofOur Lord, everything changes. We meetpeople where they are, just as Jesus did. We dance and people are watching then, suddenly people on the margins ofthe dance begin to move, some join in and dance beside us, and maybe othersjust tap their foot, but they hear the song. The song of God’s love plays loudly, and we dance. So here, we are, taught, fed, strengthenedbut now, it is time to for us to go dance. After today’s sermon, the Eucharistic meal, the dismissal, the postlude,and coffee hour, “Go out into the world together. Go everywhere and go announce the Message ofGod’s good news to one and all.” (Mark16:15 The Message) show up in the unexpected places, unified in our commonpurpose. Go, dance, and invite others tojoin with us.

SERMON 5/27/12 Pentecost B
Acts 2:1-21; Romans8:22-27; John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15
Today is the Day of Pentecost! Pentecost “literally means “fiftieth” andsignifies the celebration of the number of days which divides it from the lastfestival of Passover. The feast ofPentecost has its roots in Jewish tradition because it represented those whoawaited the promise of the Spirit’s coming and they did so by being present atthe usual appointed Jewish religious festival of that day.”2 In the Christian tradition, the Day of Pentecostis one of seven Principal Feasts of the Church along with Easter Day, AscensionDay, Trinity Sunday, All Saints Day, Christmas Day, and the Epiphany.
The Day of Pentecost along with the Great Vigil ofEaster, The Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, All Saints Day, the Sunday afterAll Saints and at the Bishop’s visitation are all the days especiallyappropriate for baptism. On this day,the liturgical color red is prominent. The nave is decorated with red banners, the vestments we clergy wear arered, and many of you today have donned your red to help us remember the visionof “tongues of fire” that fell upon the apostles nearly 2000 years ago on theDay of Pentecost. We commemorate thisprincipal feast as the day the Holy Spirit emerged on the scene and many folkshail this historical day as the birthday of the church.
Nowon that particular Pentecost, the disciples were gathered contemplating that OurLord had been crucified, lay in the tomb three days, was raised, had appearedto the disciples, and had ascended. There they were. This miraculous,life-changing, demonstration of God’s great work of salvation had come to apivotal point in the ascension and now, the disciples are alone.
Their leader was no longer present and they did not know whatto do. I wonder what went through theirminds. Maybe they proclaimed, “Well,he’s gone, now what do we do?” “We don’thave enough resources, we are just poor fisher people, there is only a few ofus, we can barely keep food on the table, oh, woe is me.” Scripture does not indicate this was whathappened, but it would not surprise us. When folks find themselves in difficult, new situations, it is notunusual to begin speaking the language of scarcity.
Then all of a sudden, the Spirit moved and breathed, asshe always does. In the midst ofuncertainty a forcible, violent wind or breath, filled the house in which theyabided. The same Spirit that broodedover the waters of creation, the same Spirit that breathed into the dry bonesand brought new life, the same Spirit that was active in the Incarnation, thatsame Spirit was now present and active in this new little community. The Spirit was as she always was, pushingforward the new life brought forth in the life, death, and resurrection ofJesus Christ. Then as a sign of the newage, a vision emerged. A world separatedby languages, culture, and division was now being restored in the power of theSpirit coming down on this little community. The imagery of “tongues of fire” represents the divine origin of theSpirit, the divine intervention in the speaking and declaring God’s Deeds ofPower. “The divine glory (was) receivedpassively and yet (was) experienced directly, in a manner that is apparent toothers. This is the primary significance of the tongues of fire.” Wind, breath, and language; these are theworks of the Spirit in that historical event, that event which, is stillmanifested today in and through the Church.
Life in Christian community is expressed in a tension, aparadox. Our common life together moves betweenthe divine glory of God revealed in and through us, and our human struggle toaccept that revelation and then, to respond. That tension is lived out in thehistory, present, and vision of the future, which, the Holy Spirit breathes inand through the church today. Severalyears ago, the possibility of establishing an Episcopal mission to serve alocal village was discussed with the vicar of a nearby church. Later that decade, (seven years to be exact)the first organizational meeting of the group was held and a petition was sentto the bishop requesting approval to establish a mission and yes, it wasapproved. The Spirit breathed and moved,and the people responded. The very next year, ground was broken for achurch building and the first services in that building took place the very yearafter the groundbreaking. Fourteen years later, the mortgages on that building wereburned. They next year, the littlemission became a parish. Soon, aplanning commission was formed, a new building plan was developed, and a newChurch building emerged. Seven yearslater, that mortgage was burned as well. The Spirit breathed and moved, and the people responded. Thelittle parish received and responded to the Spirit’s call throughout herhistory. She grew and took onprojects. She lived into the story ofGod’s economy, God’s abundance, God’s amazing, outlandish, out of the box callto go and proclaim the Good News. TheSpirit breathed and moved, and the people responded.
The same Spirit is active today. Yes, the Spirit that inspired that little communityhas not left it. She is still active inthat little community. By the way, thisstory is our history, yes, the little village is ours, and this is ourstory. The same Spirit that brooded overthe waters of creation, the same Spirit that breathed into the dry bones andbrought new life, the same Spirit that was active in the Incarnation, that sameSpirit present and active in Jerusalem 2000 years ago, that same Spirit activein the early 1950’s here in Englewood, is still active today. She is still breathing into us new breath tocontinue the proclamation of the Gospel here today; however, we need to be boldso that we proclaim the language of the Spirit. When the Spirit rushed in on the Day of Pentecost, the apostles werefilled with the Spirit such that all could hear the Works of God. Even so, there were some naysayers thatproclaimed a language of scarcity when they said, “They are full of wine.” We too can be bogged down with the languageof scarcity. Sometimes churches todaycan get discouraged and begin living into an old story that wants to proclaim,“We are not enough.” That story is not in St. David’s DNA. That is not our story. We have a history here in which we haveproclaimed the economy of God, the economy of possibility, and not the economyof scarcity.
Eachof us is confronted in the unmistakable words, the generative language of “Iwill pour out my Spirit … and they will (fill in the blank).” The Spirit moves and breathes and we willrespond. We are not called together tobe passive, resistant, unmoving and fearful. God is not the God of the tomb, a symbol of death, which would hinderus, stop us, or keeps us from moving forward. God turns everything upside down! Death is not the end. God is theGod of possibilities, and we are people of amazing possibilities.
Have you ever heard these words? "We can’t do that ministry. We do not have enough money or giving, ourbudget is too low, we do not have enough people, the demographics in the areaare foreboding, and we are merely a retirement community. We are not enough." Really? Where are the “tongues of fire,” the violent wind/breath of God, theGreat Commission in all that? I do nothear it do you. We need to shift fromscarcity and the story of scarcity, to the story of possibilities, abundance,and God’s grace. At a miraculousoccasion in Jesus’ ministry, the disciples witnessed the mighty works ofGod. Five thousand men, plus women andchildren were out for a day trip with Jesus. There was no food available as the day wore on, and the disciples wantedto send them away to the local town, declaring again, we don’t have enough, weare insufficient, we are incapable. TheSpirit on that day, declared an alternative story. Jesus said to the disciples,“You feed them!” Then a young boy’smeager lunch, became the means by which the crowds were fed. Jesus declared that with God, even thesmallest of hope (a few fish and two loaves) is sufficient for all.
We have everything we need to do the ministry we havebeen called to do. That is not an excusefor hoarding and holding back though. Itis an acknowledgement of the new story that God has graced us for ministry, fora big vision, for a wild, wooly, “tongues of fire,” violent rush of the Spiritmovement. We, like the early disciples,are empowered by the Spirit to go out and proclaim God’s mighty works ofsalvation, not just for a mere select few, not merely for those who show up atour doors, but to everyone within whom we come in contact. Paul Tillich, my favorite theologian oncewrote that on Pentecost “ (a) missionary drive of those who were grasped by theSpiritual Presence (became reality) … because the New Being would not be theNew Being were not mankind as a whole and even the universe itself included init.” P 280 (Paul Tillich: Theologian of the Boundaries” edited by Mark KlineTaylor, Fortress Press, Minneapolis, MN 1991) We are empowered, equipped,resourced, and driven by God’s Spirit, just as we were over 50 years ago, to goand make disciples. We have everythingwe need to fulfill this mission.
The Spiritbreathes into us life and hope. Thatsame Spirit who on that day breathed new life into that first Christiancommunity, that same Spirit that breathed new life into a group of people witha dream for a mission in this village, is actively breathing into ustoday. She is calling us into a newvision, a new life, and a new focus. Wemust live into the new possibilities God has for us, and we must shift thelanguage we use from one of scarcity and insufficiency, to “tongues of fire”through which God breathes, and with God’s help, we will respond … we will respond. . . we will respond. We cannot do thison our own effort as either individuals or select groups, but only when werecognize that “the Spirit helps us in our weakness . . . and that very Spirit intercedes with sighstoo deep for words.” The Spirit iscalling us, we must respond afresh.

Historic Aircraft Community Fears Further FAA Restrictions from Aero-News Network | Why Does The FAA Seem SO Intent on Shutting Down Historic Aircraft Flight Operations? ANN is monitoring the reactions that have been piling up this week to recent FAA statements, memorandums and discussions concerning the future of operating historic aircraft in the USA. With public meetings coming up in just a month, the temperature of the community that embraces, restores, operates, instructs in, and maintains these aircraft is about as distrustful of the FAA's intent and goodwill as we have ever seen it... and for potentially good reason. An increasingly risk/work adverse mindset in certain divisions of the FAA is creating a huge need for proactive effort on their part in order to make that these extraordinary historic aircraft remain airworthy and flying... an effort that is clearly being thwarted by senior people within the FAA.
