The Cathedral of All Souls
Biltmore Village, Asheville, NC 28803
November 2013
Requiem Liturgy
November 3
The most prominent piece in the service
will be his magnificent cantata “Rejoice
in the Lamb,” which is based on the poem
Jubilate Agno by the 18th-century poet
Christopher Smart.
The Fourteenth-Annual All Souls Requiem Liturgy will be
celebrated on Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 5 p.m. Those in
our cathedral community who have died this past year will be
remembered by name during the service, and the Eucharist will
be offered in thanksgiving for their
lives.
The All Souls Cathedral
Choir along with organist
Eric Plutz from Princeton
University will offer music
celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of English
composer Benjamin Britten.
This piece was commissioned by the Reverend Canon Walter
Hussey for the Parish of St. Matthew in Northampton, England,
and premiered there in 1943. Britten himself conducted the
premiere. The organist for that performance was a young and
talented musician named
Alec Wyton, who shortly
thereafter came to the
allelujah for the heart of God,
States and served as
And from the hand of the artist inimitable, United
organist/choirmaster of the
And from the echo of the heavenly harp
Cathedral of St. John the
Divine in New York City.
In sweetness magnifical and mighty.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Advent Wreath-Making Potluck
All Souls is a eucharistically centered cathedral whose life is formed by scripture, the baptismal covenant and our engagement with the world about us.
It is a community where all are welcome, trust is present, risks are taken, and where our gifts and graces enable us to be who God knows us to be.

Nov. 3: Preparing to Prepare for
Advent: Walking with Mary
Mary must have had her fears, too. Pregnancy and
childbirth are no cakewalk today, and certainly most
women enter pregnancy with a bit of trepidation, but
not as much as women of the first century. Having a
baby was a seriously dangerous thing. Mary had so
many reasons to be afraid. But that is not the story
we know of her. We hear of a young girl who heard the
angel tell her that she was to have a child. She sought
wisdom from a cousin. She trusted her fiancée, Joseph.
Her words tell us of the joy she felt in the God’s blessing
upon her to bear a child.
As we prepare for Advent, as we await God’s working
in our lives, what can we learn from Mary’s story. How
can we wait? How can we prepare for God to come and
dwell in us? Led by Rosa Lee Harden.
Nov. 10: Preparing to Prepare for
Advent – Simple Observance Practices
Rather than confront a busy season with more business,
how do we build simple practices into these four weeks
which enable us to be present to this time? How do we
deal with some of the financial stress of the season?
Led by Todd Donatelli.
Nov. 17: Community Breakfast
Representatives of Food Booth Grant recipient agencies will join us. Hosted by the All Souls Outreach
Committee.
Nov. 24: All Souls Parish Retreat
Our parish retreat at Kanuga next year will be held
from May 23 to 25, 2014. We are calling it: “All Souls,
All Stories: Weaving the Past and the Future.”
In the past Kanuga has been centered around families
with young children; this year we hope to encourage
a broader spectrum of the parish, and are planning
programming with that in mind. The theme for the
retreat will center around the stories that have formed
and shaped All Souls throughout its history and have
brought us to this point in our story.
Join us as we talk about the theme, format and registration procedures for this parish weekend. (See also
information on page 7.)

Requiem
(continued from front page)
One of Alec's most talented
students was Marilyn Keiser,
who after finishing her studies
in New York came to be
director of music here at All
Souls from 1970 - 1983. When
Benjamin Britten
the current pipe organ at All
Souls was installed and dedicated in 1971, the parish choir sang “Rejoice in the Lamb,”
conducted by Alec Wyton and accompanied by Marilyn
Keiser.
Other featured pieces in the service on November 3 will
include Britten's beautiful “Te Deum in C,” Alec Wyton's
“Sanctus” and “Fanfare,” and two organ pieces composed
by Britten, performed by Eric Plutz. Soloists will include
Cathedral Choir members Janis Bryant, Jeff Konz, Reid
Robertson, Russell Thompson, and Hannah Pennell.
A reception will be held in the Owen Library following the
service.

From the Dean:
Staff Shifts and Preparation
for Preparation
A Shift for Milly Morrow
In the Episcopal Church ordinations are about the community. Yes there is an individual taking vows and there is also
a community taking vows. The person taking ordination
vows cannot get to that day if not for many communal affirmations along the way. Vestries, Parish Lay Discernment
Committees from congregations, Commissions on Ministry,
seminary faculties are among the elements of community
through whom any person’s journey to ordination must pass.
Along the way these communities are not simply asking, ‘Do
we see this person as an ordained person?’ They are equally
asking, ‘Do we see ordained relationship between this person
and the church?’ They are not discerning simply for the
person but for the whole community.
On Saturday, November 9 at 11:00 a.m., members of the
diocese, the Bishop, members of All Souls and members of
the greater community will gather for the Ordination to the
Transitional Diaconate of Milly Morrow. As they proclaim
in verbal response their affirmation of her as an ordained
person they will be saying, ‘We affirm our relationship to
Milly and Milly’s to us and our interconnectedness as a
people of faith and a people of community’.
With ordination will come a change in Milly’s title to Canon for
Missional Formation: Youth and Community Engagement.
Milly will continue to focus her work on youth formation
through this missional lens, incorporating learning and fellowship which will engage all ages of the wider community.
According to Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile, ‘the Missional
Church is a church whose identity lies in participating in the
triune God’s reconciling mission in the world around us’. As
Canon of Missional Formation Milly’s work will be to seek
and engage all people in God’s mission in the world. In this
opportunities to reflect upon, integrate and live out that which
is learned in the engagement are key. In all of this is the opportunity to deepen in our experience of and understanding of
ourselves as a people participating in God’s movement in our
world. This is not a work of Milly. It is a work of community.
A Shift for Sherry Prazich
In our budget for 2013 we reduced the hours of our Parish
Administrator position from 40 to 32. As we have lived into this
year we have learned several things: Sherry has worked well to find
those in our community who are able and desirous of assisting in
administrative work. Member and visitor information, various
communications and other office assistance are among these.
Even as she has worked to utilize parishioners in this work
we have identified other administrative elements which are
better handled by the Parish Administrator. We currently
do not have a second staff person trained to back up Sue
Gervais, our bookkeeper. As this information is sensitive,
particularly member contributions, it is appropriate to be
handled by a staff person. In order to be ‘fluent’ with the
many aspects of our financial systems one needs to work with
them regularly. As well the production of our weekly E-pistle
and Sunday printed announcements has been handled by
Kyle Ritter. It is our conclusion that this is better handled
by the Parish Administrator and also frees Kyle to spend this
time on music and liturgical needs.
Thus, in our budget for 2014 the Vestry and Finance
Committee have agreed to move the Parish Administrator
hours from 32 to 40 to accommodate regular work with our
financial system and the shift of E-pistle and Sunday printed
announcements. With these additional hours added our
overall staff positions are half a position less than two years
ago. As we stated in last year’s budget presentation we are
conscious of the shifting times in which we live and how
we work to be adaptable both financially and in our overall
infrastructure. We appreciate your continued support of the
work of this faith community.
Preparation for Preparation:
Advent in November
In the Adult Forum beginning the last Sunday of October and
continuing Sunday November 3 and 10, Rosa Lee Harden and
I have been leading a discussion of the contrast of Advent from
the centuries of its origin to our time as well as the contrast
of cultural manifestations and our Advent Biblical stories.
Coming into the church during the 4th and 5th centuries
Advent originated in a time when three of four pregnancies
resulted in death and when a large number of women did not
survive childbirth. Pregnancy had a different meaning. Today
we are immersed in the cultural quest for the perfect Christmas
leading as much to emotional stress for many as to realized
hope. Commercials of perfectly decorated homes, dinners
and perfectly chosen presents abound. How do we prepare for
a season of preparation? How do we find meaning amid the
pressure and loudness around us? Please join us.
Peace,

All Souls is 117
November 8
This November 8th marks the 117th anniversary of our consecration as All Souls
Episcopal Church, Biltmore. Creating an
Episcopal presence in his manor village
was of utmost importance to George W.
Vanderbilt. He had planned an elaborate consecration ceremony, complete
with all the necessary clergy for such an
event, the readings had been selected,
the musical selections made – even the
seating arrangements had been taken care
of thanks to George’s meticulous preplanning for this much-anticipated day.
A few days ahead of the ceremony, George
took the train from Biltmore to New York
City to collect his priest, the Reverend
David Greer of St. Bartholomew’s, who
would deliver the consecration sermon.
When they arrived at the station in
Biltmore on November 6th, word was
waiting for Mr. Vanderbilt that his dear
mother had died. He and his priest
immediately returned to New York to
prepare for her funeral. Two days later,
on November 8th, the consecration ceremony took place according to plan, with
one sad exception: Mr. Vanderbilt was
absent from this ceremony he’d dreamed
of since the village was planned with a
church as its focal point.

CONSECRATION OF ALL SOULS'
OPENING SERVICES AT THE BILTMORE CHURCH.
The Temple of Worship Consecrated
With Impressive Ceremonial by
Bishop Cheshire – A Beautifully Finished Edifice.
All Souls' church in Biltmore Sunday passed as a gift from George W.
Vanderbilt to parishioners of Episcopalian faith in the missionary jurisdiction of Asheville, and, with impressive ceremonial, the temple was
consecrated to sacred use, in a crowded attendance of worshiping laity,
by Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, jr., bishop of North Carolina and
acting bishop of Asheville.
The dedicatory services began at 11 o'clock, and at that hour the ushers,
D.C. Champlain, W.A. Culbreth, J.O. Seibert, D.F. Herndon and E.M.
Griffith, had the seating of the church completed, and later arrivals were
offered the courtesies of camp chairs ranged through the aisles. Sixty seats
in the eastern transept were reserved for employes of the estate, and three
double pews in the opposite transept were retained for colored occupants.
A swell of organ music introduced the ceremonies; an instant later
singing was heard, and as the music proceeded the vested choir appeared
in procession through the transept and nave to the entrance doors, where
the singers divided to receive the clergy, Bishop Cheshire was attended in
the march to the altar by his chaplain, Rev. Alfred H. Stubbs of Asheville,
Rev. Edwin A. Osborne of Charlotte, Rev. W.R. Walker of Raleigh,
Rev. M.W. Black of Flat Rock, Rev. T. C. Wetmore of Hendersonville
and Rev. H.S. McDuffey of Asheville. Following were Wardens
Charles McNamee, Charles W. Woolsey, George F. Weston and W.H.
Washington. The choir accompanied to the pews of the chancel.
The deed donating the church to the diocese was then presented by the
wardens to the bishop, who read the document at length,
and warrant of the proceedings was announced to the
people by the bishop's chaplain. The consecration of the
edifice concluded with an eloquent discourse by Bishop
Cheshire on the scriptural lesson in Genesis 28: 16-17:
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said 'Truly
the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.' “And he
was afraid, and said, 'How dreadful is this place! This
is none other than the House of God, and this is the
gate of Heaven.'
The article continues, enlarging on the sermon and
commenting briefly on the music and at length on
“The Edifice.” Read the remainder on our website:

This November, the All Souls
Book Group Will Read…
Marilynne Robinson’s novel Home
Meeting Times
• Monday, November 11, 7 p.m., the Warner Building
• Monday, November 18, 7 p.m., the C. E. Room
“Hundreds of thousands of readers were enthralled and
delighted by the luminous, tender voice of John Ames in
Gilead, Marilynne Robinson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
Home is an entirely independent, deeply affecting work that
takes place concurrently in the same Iowa town, this time
in the household of Reverend Robert Boughton, Ames’s
closest friend.
Glory Boughton, age 38, has returned to Gilead to care for
her dying father. Soon her brother Jack – the prodigal son
of the family, gone twenty years – comes home, too, looking
for refuge and trying to make peace with a past littered with
trouble and pain. Jack is one of the great characters in recent
literature. A bad boy from childhood, an alcoholic who
cannot hold a job, he is perpetually at odds with his surroundings and with his traditionalist father, though he remains
Boughton’s beloved child. Brilliant, lovable, and wayward,
Jack forges an intense bond with Glory and engages painfully with John Ames, his godfather and namesake.
Home is a moving and healing book about families, family
secrets, and the passing of generations, about love and death
and faith. It is Robinson’s greatest work, an unforgettable
embodiment of the deepest and most universal emotions.”
A tableau of decency and compassion that is also an
angry and devastating indictment of moral cowardice
and unrepentant, unacknowledged sin… Beautiful.
—A. O. Scott, The New York Times Book Review

Autumn Grace
November 16
Autumn Grace, a group of senior women open to all, has
been meeting once a month for a little over a year. Last
November the group discussed ideas and made plans for
the current year. Since January 2012, we have split into two
groups after the opening devotional. One group, with shared
leadership, focused on different attitudes we would like to
develop as we age.
A second group, under the leadership of the Rev. Nancy Mills,
worked with the text, Remembering Your Story: Creating Your
Own Spiritual Autobiography written by Richard L. Morgan.
Now it is time to think ahead to next year!!
The November meeting will be held on Saturday, November
16, at 10:00 a.m. in the Owen Library. After our opening
devotional, Diane Russell will lead us in planning and
re-forming for the coming year. All senior women are invited
to participate. Questions? Please contact Babie Chromy
(828-687-2926; jstrobel5@charter.net).

Thank you for your many years of participation! Each fall
and spring, All Souls joins with churches around the world
to collect our “offerings of thanks” and unite them to provide
grants throughout the world. One hundred percent of the
offerings collected are given away every year. These grants
from the UTO help meet compelling human need. They are
tangible evidence of how our blessings and gratitude can lead
to someone else’s blessings and gratitude. Before and after
services, take a look at the map on the porch to see a few of
the many ways our gifts are put to use. Thank you!

Gift Bagging December 18
We are busy preparing for the annual
Holiday Party on Sunday, December 22nd,
when we share food, fellowship, and much-needed
and appreciated gifts with those in our community
who are grateful for even the most basic necessities.
We hope you will continue to be part of this holy
and joyous event and will bless us with your support.
Last year we served more than 250 men, women, and
children. Chaos and wonder were the order of the day,
the Incarnate Christ was present and celebrated, and all
were blessed.
This year, we are planning an even better party. We bought
thermals on sale during the summer, so are off to a great
start! Everyone will receive a gift bag with basic essentials,
and then, through a lottery system, they will take turns
going into “St. Nicholas’ Gift Shop” to pick out a gift. Once
everyone has had a chance to choose a gift, all will be able to
return to select additional items. This way, folks will be able
to choose what they most want and need from the items we
receive from you.
Many thanks to the following congregations for providing
gift bag items: Holy Spirit, Mars Hill, and St. George’s,
Asheville (underwear); Holy Family, Mills River, and All
Saints, Franklin (socks), Holy Cross, Tryon, and St. John’s,
Marion (gloves); EYC groups (candy). And thanks to St.
Matthias for again providing a delicious dinner!
 We welcome donations of gifts for
our St. Nicholas Shop (please see list
at right). Please bring them during the
week to Trinity Church or All Souls,
or we can make arrangements for pick
up at your church.
 We also welcome financial contributions! Checks should be payable
to The Church of the Advocate and
mailed to: The Advocate, 60 Church
St., Asheville, NC 28801. Please write
“COA Christmas” on the memo line.

All Souls Parish Retreat May 23-25, 2014
From the Director, Robbin Whittington
More than seventy people from five different denominations gathered on the banks of Lake Tahoe mid-October for
a week of connection, conversation, and for sharing our faith
and formation stories and experiences. I was invited to lead
a workshop at the Western Christian Educator’s Conference
on the “Cartography of Curation.” From that workshop,
I gleaned close to 100 trusted resources to share on the
CSR portal. What a treasure trove of ideas, programs, and
resources! Several of those resources have already been added
on our website: theCSR.org.
Coming soon:
CSR is hosting a special topic advanced Wisdom School
with Cynthia Bourgeault on The Holy Trinity and the Law
of Three. We will be video-taping and sharing content highlights from the week on the portal in the coming months.
We are very excited to announce that the North Carolina
Lutheran Synod has hired a person to load resources on the
portal.

Kanuga is a special place. The little beach for little feet. The mist
on the lake early in the morning. A meal made for you… and no
dishes to clean! The quiet of evening that is suddenly split by the
laughter of 25 adults cackling over some small bit of unexpected
information they have just learned about a friend. The amazing
opportunity to know one another better… to have an actual
conversation that extends beyond our front porch. This is what
the All Souls members who put this Kanuga weekend together
many years ago had in mind. It was at that time a way to build
community and to attract new families.
It worked. Since then we have been joined by many new
families and the community has been strengthened by our
retreat weekend together. Last year we took a break and
sought to discern the formational purpose of Kanuga for our
current community, and how to continue to support it within
the constraints of our budget. The staff believes the retreat is
important because it gives us a time to remember who we are
called to be, to develop further our vision of this particular
community, to connect more deeply as a family and to renew
our common identity. These are not things that can be done
at a Wednesday night parish dinner, nor can they be accomplished with only young people and young families. We need
the gift of space and time and we need the diverse ages and
family makeups of the All Souls community.
A group has begun meeting to plan Kanuga 2014. The team
consists of Jill and Dan Stevenson, Tahani Sticpewich,
Father Todd, Diane Russell, Frazier Worth, Helene Heilig,
and myself. We have crunched the numbers and believe we
have come up with a good balance between accessibility and
reality, and have begun looking at fundraising ideas.
Please put May 23-25 on your calendars and plan to join
us! (If you are unable to stay for the entire retreat, you are
welcome to come for the day on Saturday – let us know.) If
a benefit of this weekend is to recall who we are, we must
know where we came from. We want to make use of our time
together to learn and grow from sharing our many tales of All
Souls’ history. We can offer the prices below for those who
register with a $50 deposit by Dec. 9 and commit to help with
fundraising. On November 24 we will meet during the Adult
Forum to discuss details.

Living it Out
Interviews with All Souls parishioners about ways in
which they are living out their baptismal covenants in the
world. —by Susan Blexrud
Tom’s photos online
Tom Whittington: Documenting our Communal Life
In the diverse community of believers that is All Souls,
there are cradle Episcopalians and Episcopalians by their
chinny-chin-chins. By his wife Robbin’s admission, Tom
Whittington is one of the latter. But that doesn’t diminish
the church’s impact on him or vice versa. Through Tom’s
engaging photographs, he and All Souls have rubbed off on
each other – with indelible ink.
While Tom aims to be unobtrusive as he strives to record
special moments at the church, Robbin says, “He ends up
in relationships as a result of connecting
with people through his photography. He
doesn’t just take photographs, he captures
memories.”
There’s never a shortage of events to shoot at All Souls, and
Tom’s photography has chronicled so many of them. “He’s
helping us create our legacy through images,” Robbin said.
Requests for Tom’s talents reach beyond the All Souls
community. On June 8, he was asked to record the celebration of a new ministry in Hendersonville. At La Capilla
de Santa Maria, Tom shot photos of the Reverend Hilario
Cisneros, Missioner for Spanish Speaking Ministries and
Rector of the church. One of Tom’s photos was selected to
be used in a fundraiser calendar for the
Latino/Hispanic Ministry of the National
Episcopal Church.
A chiropractic physician by trade, Tom’s
creative outlet is his photography. What
he likes most is to capture events through
people. “I find myself waiting for a head
turn,” he said. “I love the anticipation of a
good picture, and I try to be ready for it.”
Tom has been there for so many of All
Souls cherished moments, from the
soulful Repairing the Breach service to
innumerable baptisms, guest speakers,
and installation of new priests.
“It has been an honor to take photos
inside the cathedral,” Tom said. “I try to
hide in the corner and not be seen.”
Though Tom began his photography
journey with film, he is now enthralled
with the digital aspects of the medium.
“Digital photography allows everyone to
have the technical ability to shoot pictures, but that makes the
composition of the shot that much more important,” he said.

Tom’s fascination with photography began in the ninth
grade. He subsequently won a photojournalism award in
high school and had his own darkroom in the days of racial
riots and the Vietnam War. About five or six years ago, “I
participated in Wesley Duffey Braun’s photography group at
the church, and I started bringing my camera on Sundays.
First thing I knew, I was taking photos for various events.”
A couple of Tom’s favorite photos: The Dean burning the
Greens and shooting the Easter Cannon.

And Tom’s composition is exceptional. While he credits Tahani
Sticpewich’s eye for cropping and editing the images for the
Connection, “She has a real knack,” he said, it’s Tom’s composition that allows observers to relive events through his lens.
“It’s my small way of giving back,” he said.

The All Souls Hope to Home team
is ending its year-long commitment
to befriend Dora, our partner. Dora
moved into stable, permanent housing
last October, and since that time we
have had the great privilege to be in relationship with her as she has navigated the challenges of
establishing a new life for herself. She has been inspiring to
us as a group and to each team member individually. Her
strength of character, resilience, intelligence and faith have
touched us all. Below are some of the comments of members
of our team about their experience this past year:
I have admired Dora as a loving caring friend who, by her own
example and her work, has dispelled many myths and stereotypes
of people experiencing homelessness. Each homeless person is a
unique individual with his or her own story. Thank you Dora
for being such a good teacher.
I didn't expect to f ind such a connection with someone whose
life looked from the outside so very different from my own. And
now I carry the knowledge – learned f irst hand – that at base we
are all deeply intertwined. One never knows what gifts might
blossom in places we may have forgotten or neglected.
Dora has shown me how indomitable the human spirit can be.
She receives and gives love with grace; her outreach to others is
abundant and unself ish.
Most of us have established relationships with Dora that will
continue after our formal “Hope to Home” team is
no longer in existence. Many feel we have developed
an ongoing, long-term friendship with her.
We are hoping that others in our All Souls community will want to continue this important work, partnering with another individual or family identified
by Homeward Bound as a good match for a Hope
to Home team. When do we have the opportunity
to establish a real relationship with someone who
has lived without a home? It is an rare gift that can
change and expand us in unexpected ways. Each of
our team members is extremely grateful to have been
through this year with Dora. We encourage other All
Souls parishioners to open themselves to a similar
experience.
The next All Souls Hope to Home team is in the
process of being established. If you are interested in
being involved, please contact Mike Stevenson at
(828) 254-5227 or knlstv@gmail.com.

Success Equation
Faith Summit
It seemed almost biblical. It was a gathering of over 90 people from
many varied backgrounds and faiths. The Spirit of God moved
among them offering inspiration and encouragement. It was the
Success Equation Faith Summit funded by the Diocese of WNC's
Human, Hurt, and Hope grant and sponsored by Cathedral of
All Souls and Trinity. Hosted at Trinity Episcopal Church on
September 25, there were representatives from Catholic, Jewish,
Protestant, Unitarian, and Buddhist congregations who met with
civic leaders and representatives of community organizations. The
topics discussed and their advocates were:
Family Support:
• Food Stamps (SNAP): Steve Garrison, Buncombe County
Dept. of Health/Human Services
• School lunch and summer nutrition programs: Lisa Payne,
Buncombe County Schools
Docent
Training
If you love All Souls history and would like
to be part of our ministry to welcome guests
to the Cathedral and share our history,
please consider becoming a docent. Over
the winter, I will be training all who are
interested. Docents sign up to offer “history
tours” in the nave to our visitors a couple of
days a month from Easter to Advent. You
can join by yourself or team up with your
buddy or spouse… We’ve even had mother/
daughter duos!
We really need to increase our number of
docents so we can have someone in the
church to be the face and welcome smile
of All Souls. This ministry was started by
Nancy Martin when we became the cathedral for the diocese in 1995. Since then, we
have welcomed hundreds to come in, take a
look around, and hear a minute or two about
our awesome history, our stunning windows,
and our role as an active Episcopal church.
Perhaps you remember the introduction to
our history from your newcomers class. We
have a spot for you. We are looking for all
ages; both weekday and weekend times are
available. Call Martha Fullington, 684-2083.
Economic Stability:
• Buncombe County/City of Asheville' affordable housing policies and strategies: Holly Jones, County Commissioner.
• City Transit/Bus service: Vicki Meath, Just Economics
Early Childhood:
• Child Care Subsidy Program and NC Pre-K: Amy Barry, ED of
Smart Start of Buncombe County
• Head Start: Brian Repass, Community Action Opportunity
Following a meal, this panel of civic leaders presented facts, figures
and vital information on each of the topics. The participants then
broke into smaller groups to discuss the topic of particular interest
to them. All Souls had 10 participants who were part of all these
groups. This produced a great exchange of ideas which was then
presented to the full gathering. Comments and suggestions for each
area made by All Souls attendees will be considered by Children
First Committee in future involvement.
The evening concluded with Rev Bill Jamison's scripture readings
and a call to not only profess our faith, but to act on it.

Notes from
the Atrium
from Micki Hill, Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd &
Children’s Formation
A Place of Prayer
Gracious and holy Father, please give (them):
intellect to understand you; reason to discern you;
diligence to seek you; wisdom to f ind you; a spirit
to know you; a heart to meditate upon you; ears to
hear you; eyes to see you; a tongue to proclaim you; a
way of life pleasing to you; patience to wait for you;
and perseverance to look for you.
This prayer of St. Benedict expresses the heart of our
work with children and the reason we use Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd as our method of formation. It is a method that respects the child and seeks
to communicate the Christian message in an honest
fashion, with no gimmicks and no watered down texts.
We use “the Bible and the Liturgy (prayers and sacraments) of the church as (our) sources for creating and
sustaining Christian life at every developmental stage
and, in particular, for illuminating and nourishing the
child in his/her most vital religious needs.” We do not
interpret the words or gestures, but seek to serve and
participate with the child in the “listening” for deeper
understanding.
The kerygma, or announcement, of “Good News” has
a celebratory character. Communal listening, study,
personal work, and celebration spontaneously become
meditation, contemplation and prayer. This attitude
toward Scripture and Liturgy opens us to mystery and
welcomes us into a relationship with God.
We can celebrate this relationship with Trevor who at
the age of 7 wrote:
“Jesus will walk with me and I will walk with
him. He will talk to me and I will talk to him.
He will be nice to me and I will be nice to him.
He is a part of me and I am a part of him.”
(from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Journal, 1989.)
12
Each of us can create a time and place for prayer. A
quiet corner, a small table, a cloth for the table, a
candle, a Bible and a basket to hold the gifts of creation
that might be gathered on a walk through the neighborhood can provide spiritual nurture for a family.
Archives
reorganized,
Made more
accessible
The “monumental” work of organizing
the registers, documents, photographs
and drawings of the church is nearing
the first phase of completion. All Souls’ archives committee reports
that it is ready to accept relevant documents from parishioners to
add to the church’s collection begun in 1896. Accessibility of the
collection to researchers also has been improved.
Committee chair George Sherrill said, “We hope this announcement will send people to their attics to search out papers and certificates related to their lives at All Souls.” He said certificates and
other documents may be given or loaned to the archives. Likewise,
documents already in the archives will be copied upon request.
Nothing can be borrowed from the collection.
Committee members Lorna Dorr, Beverley Gaines and Martha
Fullington have built upon extensive sorting done by Linda
Spangler and Beverley Gaines. Beverley was church clerk for 30
years. Minutes of vestry meetings taken by her are among the
historic items in the archive.
Church registers listing baptisms, confirmations, weddings and
other ceremonies of the church date from 1896 and will be invaluable to historians and genealogists. For example, Register No. 1
lists George W. Vanderbilt as the first communicant.
According to the committee, the archival documents may be old and
fragile, but the presentation is new and user friendly. To increase
awareness of this reference library of the church, a photo from the
trove of pictures will be selected for printing in the Connection each
month. Watch for the heading “Do You Know?”
In keeping with this new accessibility, the archives committee has
issued this mission statement: The mission of the Cathedral of All
Souls’ archives is to collect, preserve and make available for research,
materials that document the history and activities of All Souls.
To use the archives, contact a committee member and make
an appointment: George Sherrill, 828-524-3389; Lorna Dorr,
274-3231; Beverley Gaines, 253-2652; Martha Fullington,
684-2083. Archives committee meetings are at 4 p.m. on the first
Thursday of each month in the Warner Building and are open to
all.
Items sought for the archives include photographs directly related
to All Souls, educational materials used at All Souls, service leaflets, newspaper clippings, audio and video recordings of choral
programs, sermons and special services and other memorabilia,
such as certificates, trophies, plaques, etc. Bibles will not be
accepted, unless of special significance.

Notes from the Field
of Youth Ministry
Children
Among Us...
Bless and
be blessed
When our children gathered around the altar for yet another
Blessing of the Backpacks this year, a long-time member
of All Souls looked at me and said, “Do you feel some job
security looking at all those faces of rising EYCers?” We
laughed, but I think what we both heard in that statement is
this: Our children at All Souls are more than job security for
the youth minister… They, my friends, are security for the
church. That is a blessing. These children, your children, are
a blessing. I often have moments when I wonder how I will
find meaning in the theology of the church given the state
of our world – and then I am lucky enough to be with your
children in Children’s Chapel or eating pizza and talking
about life with the EYC youth. In those blessed moments of
praying, talking, listening and watching our children move
and live and have their being, I am renewed, restored and my
theology is re-imagined, again.
Children’s Chapel (for those of you who don’t attend) is a
place where remarkable things happen. We begin every week
by setting the altar with an icon and a candle. This simple and
shared movement of setting the table has led to deep discussion about why candles are always present on the altar… To
which your children responded:
There are many things in this world that try and
grab our attention. T.V., homework, friends, sports,
wanting to be popular, our parents, our clothing…
But when we light a candle it brings our attention to
what is in front of us on the altar… to Jesus.
After we set the table, we invite prayers. These children know
how to pray and they do. They give God and their neighbors
whatever is troubling their hearts, or burdening their minds.
They do it because they trust each other; they do it because
they trust God is a good God who wants to hear what they
have to say. Sometimes we discuss the gospel for the day,
but sometimes we don’t have time because they take up the
time lifting prayers for the world around them. I am fairly
certainly they are a living Gospel.
So, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for sharing your
child with this community. I want to thank you for blessing
me with your children and for feeding the ministry of this
church by showing up every week to be Church. Children’s
Chapel is a stepping stone for children aged five to nine to

Nov. 9: Milly’s Ordination, 11 a.m. Saturday. All
the youth are invited to sit up front; three rows can be

prepare them to be in church with all of us. It helps them
to focus, to understand the motions, and to practice attention to liturgy. But the children will be with us in church, and
should be with us in church as they are able (whatever the
age!) because they have something to teach us and because
we will be blessed by their presence with us. We can pay
attention to when children are ready to be in church and we
can discuss this together. Please see me if you have questions
about Children’s Chapel or if you might like to help in some
way to keep Children’s Chapel awake and alive (we are in
need of second adults to be with me on Sundays to meet the
guidelines for Safeguarding God’s Children). We are always
looking for people to share music with our children during
the chapel time. You would be blessed by them, as have I.
Yes, I feel security when I see all our beautiful children at the
altar. I feel the security of God’s blessing on us and the deep
and immediate need to foster in them their already vibrant
love of the Holy.
Peace,
Milly!
