From the ELCA News Service (09-279-JB)
CHICAGO (ELCA) -- Sunday, Dec. 6, was the first good Sunday in a very long time for the Rev.
"We turned a corner," Sowell said in an interview. The congregation's strong faith and a desire to move forward in mission have resulted in a positive spirit among the members today.
Sowell left a Green Bay congregation last summer to accept a dual-parish call in Edgar, where she was looking forward to a new ministry experience. Her installation Aug. 23 marked the start of her work with two congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Members and colleagues use words such as "bright," "relational," "positive," "kind" and "principled" to describe Sowell. She and other members would need all of those qualities and more to survive a turbulent autumn.
Almost from the start of Sowell's ministry St. John and Peace were caught up in whirlwind of conflict. Serious questions arose in both congregations about the actions of the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly and what the congregations should do in response. Some members didn't like the fact that Sowell said she favored those decisions.
The 2009 Churchwide Assembly adopted a social statement on
Emotions were high, members were polarized and lay leaders in both congregations wanted to vote quickly to leave the ELCA. St. John congregational council members held a meeting that first week and voted unanimously, with one abstention, to recommend the congregation leave the ELCA. The council member who abstained said the congregation should slow down. Similar proceedings began at Peace.
False stories about Sowell began to circulate through the congregations and the community. Sowell, who never wanted the congregations to leave, also tried to get the leaders to think about what they were doing. But "nobody would listen to any pleas to slow down the process," Sowell said.
The St. John council set a vote to leave the ELCA for Nov. 8. It held two congregational forums, on Oct. 18 and Nov. 1. The Oct. 18 forum was particularly nasty, with many members reported to be "yelling and screaming" at one another, Sowell said. She wasn't there, because at the time of the forum Sowell was leading services at Peace. The Rev. Duane C. Pederson, bishop of the ELCA Northwest Synod of Wisconsin, and the Rev. William Christiansen, representing Lutheran Congregations for Mission in Christ (LCMC), also met with members during that turbulent month. LCMC was mentioned as a possible destination for the congregations after the ELCA.
"I had many conversations with Gail," Pederson said in an interview, "often daily e-mails, trying to help her navigate the situation. I know she got many phone calls of support. I asked some colleagues to call her."
"I can't imagine starting a job and two days later this whole thing kind of blows up," said Lavone Runge, a 7-year member and librarian in nearby Marathon City.
The uneasiness in the congregation caused many members to stay away from worship from Oct. 18 until the Nov. 8 vote.
What happened next was a surprise to many. St. John members voted 106-67 on the proposal to leave the ELCA, but failed to achieve the required two-thirds by four votes. That night the council and other congregational leaders met and resigned their leadership positions. The one exception was the deacon who had earlier asked his colleagues to slow down. It was the end of a very difficult day.
"I was completely blindsided by this. I was not expecting it," Sowell said. "I just sat there with tears running down my face wondering what's happening to this congregation."
"I had never seen anything like this," said Runge. "The sad part to me is that I joined the ELCA because it is all-inclusive. What made the church desirable to me is what kind of ripped it apart." She added that members seemed to forget the good things the ELCA has done, particularly its work to advance the mission of Jesus Christ.
Meanwhile, across town, Peace Lutheran Church was having issues of its own. The congregation president had called Sowell during the upheaval and said some members didn't like the way she preached. The congregation didn't agree with the churchwide assembly decisions on human sexuality. Worship attendance had fallen to about 20 per Sunday. Sowell had to go before members would return, the council president said. All Sowell wanted to do was keep the congregation together as a worshipping community.
A few weeks ago, Peace took its first vote to leave the ELCA -- which passed unanimously -- and changed worship times to conflict with St. John, making it impossible for Sowell to serve there, though she still remains as its called pastor.
Finances were down in both congregations, and her salary had been cut. Unofficially, Sowell was out of a job at Peace, and unsure about her future and the congregation's future at St. John.
St. John experiences a revival
On Nov. 15 Sowell and others prepared for worship at St. John, not knowing what to expect following the divisive vote just one week before.
What happened was another surprise: 145 people showed up for worship -- the most that had been there since Sowell was installed. "We had people come back who had stopped coming at least since the Oct. 18 meeting," she said. With a shortage of Sunday School teachers, the result of the previous week's resignations, six people volunteered on the spot to teach, Sowell said. Since that time, "dozens and dozens" of members have stepped forward to volunteer for various roles at St. John.
"Remarkable," is how Runge describes the sudden turnaround. She was one of those who stayed away until the Nov. 8 vote because the hostility among members made her weary. "The next Sunday I saw such warmth in the people that were left. We've seen a real consensus of people who really wanted to make this work."
John Hamann, former council president at St. John, now worships at a "new" Lutheran congregation in the Wien Town Hall. He still worships at St. John, too. "I'm worshipping now in both places. I haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do," he said. In fact, Sowell said, most of the former council members have not given up their memberships at St. John.
Runge, who was elected to the council and is now secretary, and other members, want Hamann and the others who left to return. "We want each and every one of them back. It's not about the money. It's like part of our family is missing," she said.
St. John and the future
Pederson described the situation at St. John as "like a death and resurrection experience."
"My role is to support the new leadership that has emerged and to support the pastor of a congregation that is in 'deep transformation,'" he said.
Sowell plans to invite the synod staff to work with the congregation on its mission and vision. Next year, St. John will celebrate its 125th anniversary, she said. Sowell said that she realizes now that God called her to St. John for a reason.
"I have grown so much because of this," she said. "I have been carried by the prayers of my former congregation. People have called me out of the blue to say, 'I'm praying for you.'"
"I am sure St. John is not only going to survive, it's going to thrive," Sowell said.

St. Armands Key Lutheran announces official pastor
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor | The Observer Group, Florida
Read Story Online Here
Approximately four years ago, the Rev. Mark Bernthal (Class of 1986) officiated a wedding at St. Armands Key Lutheran Church. As he and his wife, Cyndi, a registered nurse, walked through the church grounds, they discussed the church's beauty and its unique location on St. Armands Circle and joked about how nice it would be to serve at a church just like it.
Now, Bernthal is about to find out. After a year-long search process, the congregation of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church voted unanimously to elect Bernthal as pastor, a position which he has accepted.
Bernthal, a native of Winter Haven, holds a Master of Divinity degree from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, in Columbia, S.C. He is currently pastor at Lamb of God Lutheran Church, in Haines City, a congregation he helped found when he became its mission developer in late 1989.
Having served at Lamb of God for the past 20 years, Bernthal admits that saying goodbye will be difficult.
"As exciting as it is to anticipate a new beginning, it's really hard to bring closure," he said.
Bernthal's current church is similar to St. Armands Key Lutheran Church, with a seasonal congregation of approximately 530, compared to St. Armands Key Lutheran's peak of 600.
Bernthal will move to Sarasota in mid-August. He and his wife have a family of five children ranging in ages from 8 to 22.
The Rev. Eric Wogen served as pastor of St. Armands Key Lutheran Church from 2000 until his retirement last June. The Rev. Mark Hillmer served as interim pastor until July 5. Supply pastors will fill in until Bernthal starts.
"It's going to be good for us," said Lynn Blackledge, council president of the church. "Every time someone new comes, it takes us in new directions."
St. John's Lutheran, Spartanburg, SC, was featured in the Hearld-Journal article '"Alive' worship serves for all age groups." Currently serving at St. John's are four Southern alumni, the Rev. Dr. Boyd F. Cook (Class of 1966) as interim senior pastor, the Rev. James Houck (Class of 2005 and 2008) as interim associate pastor, the Rev. Murray Shull (Class of 1956) as visitation pastor, and the Rev. Evertte Lineberger (Class of 1954) as pastor emeritus.

Veterans, spouses learn 'new normal'
By Kelly Jasper | Staff Writer, The Augusta Chronicle
from Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Cheryl Snover knew what to expect when her husband, Jeff Snover, returned from Iraq.
She was a volunteer with the Family Readiness Group, married to a man who was coming up on 18 years in the Army, and the daughter of a Vietnam veteran.
"I knew with my eyes wide open what was coming, and yet there were still surprises I wasn't prepared for," she said. "As a society, we shut people off. If you went to war, you didn't talk about it."
Though the Department of Veterans Affairs has the staff to address mental health, separation and reintegration issues, few programs address the long-range impact on veterans' marriages, said the Rev. Edward Waldrop (Class of 2000), a chaplain at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center.
He's formed a support group for combat veterans and their spouses, a concept he will introduce to other VA chaplains across the country in June.
"What we're doing isn't being done anywhere else," the Rev. Waldrop said. "We're putting them in a situation with people who have been there, done that."
The Snovers are members and, for some, a model for preserving marriage through the stresses of war.
"We've talked to a lot of people at the VA about how we made it," Mrs. Snover said. "Sometimes I think it was pure grit."
Her husband, a retired chief warrant officer, returned home in June 2003. Three months later, an accident left him paralyzed. A tree fell as he was clearing land, severing his spine.
"For as horrible as that was, Iraq still had the bigger impact on our relationship," Mrs. Snover said.
The initial excitement of a veteran's return wanes and problems set in, she said.
"You settle back into being you and him again," Mrs. Snover said. "You start dealing with the night sweats, the tremors, the lack of sleep. The children being loud would sometimes just throw him. If I came around the corner, his fists would come up. It was never really intentional, it was just a reaction. He wasn't here. He was physically here, but mentally he wasn't present."
The support group, which formed in January, gave them skills to cope and communicate. The four couples in the initial group named it The New Normal support group.
"Someone mentioned 'the new normal' and it stuck, because it's not. They're not the same. We're not the same either," said Shea Hughes, who makes a four-hour round trip to Augusta from Loganville, Ga., with her husband, retired U.S. Army Sgt. Scott Hughes, to attend the sessions.
The group has grown, with as many as 12 couples at its dinners. Each dinner includes training from the Rev. Waldrop and time to talk and work through problems.
"This is really kind of relationship 101, communication 101," he said.
It resonated with the couples.
"Things definitely change," said Sherika Tarver, whose husband, retired Staff Sgt. Terrell Tarver, served in Iraq and Kuwait. "It's like he's carrying everything himself because over there he was squad leader and he was carrying it all."
The support group's communication tips helped explain his burdens, Mr. Tarver said.
"I didn't feel as close as I was before but didn't know how to say it," he said. "Over there, I had to accomplish that mission. Sometimes they get overwhelmed. I take things too seriously."
At dinner, they get to laugh and talk with other couples.
"We're learning that the new normal doesn't have to be a bad normal," he said.Reach Kelly Jasper at (706) 823-3552 or kelly.jasper@augustachronicle.com.
Wallace Interviews for Essence Magazine
From the Southeastern Synod E-News
The Rev. Dr. Beverly Wallace (Class of 1996), Assistant to the Bishop (Southeastern Synod), is quoted in the June issue of Essence Magazine, an 
African American Women's publication.
The article is entitled, "This Far By Faith". Grammy Award Singer Jennifer Hudson was in the spotlight last year when her mother, brother and nephew were murdered. When interviewed, Jennifer Hudson refused to talk about her loss experience. The writer of the article called Dr. Wallace as one who has written about grief and loss in the book she co-authored "African American Grief" (Bronner-Routlege Press, 2005) to find out if this was normative.
As quoted in the article, Wallace said, "It does not surprise me that she is not talking about this in public. Sometimes acknowledging something makes it real. While there is healing in the acknowledgment, it also takes one deep into the sorrow and pain. Her loss is so recent and traumatic, she simply may not be ready to go there." It was noted too that Jennifer Hudson's faith, even in the darkest days, never wavered.

Two Midlands congregations seeking soles:
'Barefoot Saturday and Sunday' will benefit charitable cause
By CAROLYN CLICK, The State (Columbia, SC) cclick@thestate.com
Some members of Living Springs Lutheran Church are going barefoot this Sunday. So are parishioners at Cayce United Methodist Church.
The two Midlands congregations are participating in the second "Barefoot Saturday and Sunday" to benefit Soles4Souls, a Nashville, Tenn.-based charity that collects new and gently used shoes to distribute to the homeless and victims of natural disasters.
"Just the act of walking out of church without shoes will kind of help them get what it would be like to be shoeless," said the Rev. Bob Helton (Class of 1979), associate pastor of Living Springs on Hard Scrabble Road.
Helton said his wife, Lynn, was intrigued by the charity and brought up the idea to the church's outreach committee.
"She got excited about it and said, 'Hey, we could do this,'" he said. "This is our first attempt at it, and I'm not sure exactly how it will work."
In many congregations, parishioners remove the shoes they are wearing and lay them at the altar. Others donate new shoes.
Already, Helton said, two pairs of shoes — children's running shoes and a pair of men's hiking shoes — were placed in his office.
This is the second year Cayce United Methodist has participated, said the Rev. Michael Henderson, the church's senior pastor.
"Last year, we collected over 400 pairs of shoes," he said.
Morgan Evans, donor pro-gram specialist for Soles4Souls, said at least four congregations in South Carolina are participating in this week's "Barefoot" effort.
Other congregations include St. Giles Presbyterian Church in Greenville and Advent United Methodist Church in Simpsonville, she said.
This weekend's donation follows a spontaneous shoe collection at Chapin United Methodist Church last month. The Rev. Jody Flowers challenged his congregation to do something for the homeless and took off his shoes. The congregation followed his lead, and more than 600 pairs were collected for the Oliver Gospel Mission in downtown Columbia.
Soles4Souls has distributed more than 5 million pairs of shoes in 125 countries since its founding in 2004 by former footwear executive Wayne Elsey. He was compelled to act after the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia and then, again, when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. He first called on fellow executives in the shoe industry for assistance and then decided to devote his energies full time to the charity.
The organization's motto is "Change the World One Pair at a Time."
According to the organization, 300 million children around the world don't own shoes, approximately the same number of shoes thrown into American landfills last year.

Simmons celebrates 40 years in ministry
St. Andrew Lutheran Church hosted a banquet Sunday afternoon honoring Pastor George Simmons (Class of 1969), who was celebrating the 40th anniversary of his ordination in the Lutheran church.
Simmons was ordained on June 1, 1969, after graduating Lenoir-Rhyne College in 1965 and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in 1969. He pastored churches in Richfield, Greensboro and Rocky Mount before coming to Andrews in 1996.
Several guest speakers honored the pastor during the ceremony over a dinner prepared by the Saints and Sinners organization.
The first speaker to praise Simmons was his longtime colleague, Father George Kloster of St. William's Parish in Murphy and Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Hayesville. The two men served neighboring churches in Greensboro in the 1970s before being reunited as peers in the tri-county area in the '90s.
"George is one of the most dedicated pastors I've known. He truly is a pastor 24/7. He wears his collar with his pajamas." Kloster said. "He is dedicated, committed and genuinely interested in the lives of the people in this community."
Kloster was followed by Arnaldo Lugo, chaplain of Good Shepherd Home Health and Hospice, who commended Simmons on three intangibles, which he said make him an example for others to follow in the profession – friendship, professionalism and wisdom.
Andrews Chamber of Commerce member Gayle Horton praised Simmons' work in the community.
"There is not a business in the community that doesn't know George and he has represented his church well," Horton said.
"Although he always wears his clerical collar so they're usually confused as to whether he's Catholic or Lutheran," Horton said.
Banquet organizer Towanna Roberts concluded the laudatory remarks, saying that Simmons "truly has been a fisher of men."
Roberts also noted the remarkable growth that has taken place during Simmons' 13 years at the helm of the congregation, noting a new fellowship hall, sanctuary ceiling and stained glass windows have all been made possible during Simmons' tenure.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Simmons addressed the crowd and accepted the praise humbly.
"All the things accomplished in this church, it's not me, it's us," Simmons said. "I never can forget being so anxious to get here. But I want you to know that this is not my retirement party. I'm not finished yet."

Story by Frank G. Honeycutt ('85)
Walking with Paul in Athens
Epicureans in a restaurant, perhaps. (They're eventually associated with a fondness for fine food but originally believed that everything happened by chance and that if God exists, he's pretty remote. So eat, drink and be merry.) Finally he mingles with Stoics who believed everything was of God and nothing happened apart from divine will. Paul ambles around in this mix of ideas about life and the Creator — a large, portable kiosk of meetings and movements all around the city. Like it or not, this is the lay of the land for the church in the 21st century. The church doesn't have the same moral authority, the same widespread admiration, the same assumed biblical starting point as it did in the 1950s. Some of this is good. It has reminded the church of its apostolic beginnings. It has reminded us that we were originally mission-minded people. It has reminded us that Jesus said, "Go and make ..." (Matthew 28:19), not "Come and sit." Paul walked around the city. He didn't wait for people to show up in the synagogue and then count heads, ciphering an average attendance for somebody back in Jerusalem. Paul walks directly into this variety of beliefs and philosophies and urgent ideas. And he engages them all — with Jesus and the scandal of the resurrection, the raising of a crucified Jew from the dead. For Greeks, this was the ultimate laugh. Please notice the stunning contrast between the numerical responses here in Athens and in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. In the holy city, thousands were converted by a single sermon from Peter. Paul's collective sermon series in Athens resulted in only two named converts — Dionysius and Damaris — and a couple of their friends (Acts 17:34). Paul refuses to resort to any evangelical gimmick to win people for Christ. But he engages the culture aggressively — and faithfully. |
In Acts 17, Paul is in the ancient city of Athens with a bit of time on his hands, so he walks around the metro area and takes in what's there. Paul engages his own people in the synagogue and strangers in the marketplace.
