“The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.” — Gilbert K. Chesterton
From the Parson
Musings by Mother Susan The first thing I think of when I think neighbor is the people who have lived next door or across the street. Generally, I get along quite well with the neighbors; as a child they were my friends and we played together. As an adult, my neighbors and I are – neighborly. We come to each other’s rescue; watch over each other’s kids, pets and homes; and loan out all manner of things. Only once did I have a neighbor who was less than neighborly (she was downright felonious) and when she passed away unexpectedly everyone in the neighborhood suddenly had an attack of remorse for all the (unkind) things we’d thought of her. We stood in my front yard and talked about how she drove us crazy and also hoped she had finally found some peace. When I lived in Belgium, we were hampered by our mutual inability to speak each other’s language very well, but managed to find our way until my high school French began to kick in. And now, once again, language is a small problem with the neighbors in the Parsonage. Bon jour, ca va? is not useful. I need to know how to say ‘I am sorry the dogs bark so much’ in Spanish. Jesus, however, had a different view of who is a neighbor. When a lawyer asks Jesus who our neighbors are he wants a legal definition, so he’d know just who he had to ‘love’ and who he could safely ignore - and still be a good soul. As a favorite author of mine wrote, the lawyer probably wanted something along the lines of “A neighbor (hereinafter referred to as the party of the first part) is to be construed as meaning a person of Jewish descent whose legal residence is within a radius of no more than three statute miles from one’s own legal residence unless…” But Jesus responds with the story of the Good Samaritan which could just as easily be the good Native American or the Good Neighbor or the Good Enemy. Because the point Jesus is making is that your neighbor is everyone, and most especially, anyone who needs you. This is easy to grasp, but very difficult to put into practice. At this time of year, when the leaves on the trees are our flowers and the world seems to be simply alive with color, giving thanks for an abundant harvest, for blessings, is soul deep. Consider that one of those blessings is the difficulty of loving every neighbor. People who are easy to love will soothe your soul; people who are difficult to love will strengthen it. Susan+

Living With the Neighbors …On a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go. —Robert Frost One of the harshest punishments is solitary confinement—it’s an unusual person who can stand extended seclusion. People who actively seek solitude, like Jeremiah Johnson, Greta Garbo, or Into the Wild’s Chris McCandless, are sort of intrinsically exotic. Christian history is rich with hermits and anchorites, including St. Antony, St. Jerome, and Thomas Merton. The Episcopal Church has a special name for people who feel closer to God when they’re distant from their fellow man: solitaries. But with the exception of solitaries and a few other lone wolves, pretty much everybody on earth lives in company with family, friends, or neighbors. You can pick your friends and avoid your relatives, but there’s no escaping the neighbors. They find you. In the old joke about gentrification a family sees a moving van down the block and says, “Here comes the neighborhood!” In suburbs like ours most people have plenty of neighbors across the fence and down the block… families rubbing elbows every day, tantalized by the smell of each others’ barbecues, irritated by the dandelions that spread from each others’ lawns, cheered (mostly) by the sounds of each others’ kids, and fiendishly quick to grab each others’ parking spaces. Sometimes it’s easy to get along with the neighbors; sometimes it isn’t. Most of the time we coexist peacefully regardless of how we feel about one another on a personal level. “Being neighborly” is more than good manners—it’s practical and mutually beneficial. Paradoxically, a line that divides makes neighbors. On maps boundaries create “neighboring” towns, “neighboring” states, and so forth. Often boundaries are natural barriers, like mountains, streams, and rivers. If a barrier is hard enough to cross, people can be neighbors without knowing the first thing about one another. This brings to mind the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags, who we’re told shared a neighborly feast—the first Thanksgiving in the New World—in the autumn of 1621. Heaven knows thanks were appropriate: there wouldn’t have been much to November 2013

celebrate without the help of the Wampanoags. Anyone who has survived fourth grade knows the story of Tisquantum (aka “Squanto”), the corn, and the fish. The problem with the story of the neighborly first Thanksgiving is that it contrasts starkly with the larger historical record. The dinner was a rare, short intermission in a three-century campaign of genocide. Within 55 years of the first Thanksgiving the Pilgrims and Native Americans had fought several bloody wars, the last of which ended with more than 600 colonists and more than 3,000 Native Americans dead, and towns in smoking ruins throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Nothing unique about New England—the same tableau played out in Virginia and New York more or less simultaneously. Brian Bailyn’s recent history of British North America is called The Barbarous Years and for good reason. In a classic example of what college textbooks call “encounters with the Other,” neither culture could acknowledge the humanity both shared. The Pilgrims saw “heathen savages” when they looked at the Wampanoags, and the Wampanoags saw an incomprehensible, alien threat when they looked at the Pilgrims. Bailyn describes the natives of eastern North America as a “common civilization of people who lived at a distinctive level of culture.” “Reciprocity was the key to stability, to happiness, in the end to survival… They were expected to be proud, courageous, resourceful, independent, defiant in the face of savage adversity and at the same time devout in their reverence for the animating forces of the world.” Couldn’t this describe the Pilgrims, too? Obviously, the 17th century was a long time ago and it’s unfair to judge people of the past by modern standards. But we recognize today that while the Native Americans might have been different than Europeans they were every bit as human and in some ways more civilized. Why couldn’t the English recognize that at the time? Fear was a barrier to understanding. Visceral racism was another. Sadly, religion was a third. Because the Wampanoags weren’t Christian the Pilgrims thought they were inferior, and since they were inferior they were less than human. Cue the irony: it was intolerance that drove the Pilgrims to America in the first place. Today it seems self-evident that to be Christian is to tolerate, respect, empathize—to love one’s neighbor, duh. Yet while we’re fully capable of recognizing historical injustice, we’re prey to the same irrational fears and prejudices in our own lives 4

right now. They just take a slightly different form. To Americans these days the “Other” includes people from outside our borders, people from different cultures, people of a different color... sometimes even people of a different political party. In our country built on inclusion, we say we love our neighbor but we still fear the “Other.” In Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall,” two New England farmers meet in the spring to repair the stone wall separating their properties. Working together, each on his own side of the boundary, they replace the stones that fell during the winter. One farmer suggests that maybe they don’t need a wall. The other says simply, “Good fences make good neighbors.” The poem’s open to interpretation. Does the second farmer mean that respecting boundaries is an important component of friendship… or that working together for a common goal reinforces neighborliness… or simply that the border makes them neighbors? To be a good neighbor is to appreciate both what separates us and what we have in common. Like the poem, neighborliness is ambiguous. It demands two parties’ good judgment in order to be meaningful. And like wall-mending, neighborliness is Sisyphean—we have to keep working, and keep working, and keep working, year after year. The lines between us are often arbitrary, but we couldn’t be neighbors without them. Let’s give thanks for our neighbors, and remember that each neighbor provides another opportunity to act as God asks… to rebuild the wall together. Without our neighbors, whom could we love as our ourselves? Without being good neighbors, how can we love ourselves?

Stewardship 2014: Abounding in Thanksgiving The future’s in your hands… and a party’s in your future!
St. Peter’s will turn 150 years old in 2014, and in the months ahead we’ll celebrate 15 decades of fellowship and service to our community. Will we be the same warm and welcoming parish 150 years from now? That’s a question you can help answer today. November is the season of stewardship, the time of year when we remember that a pledge to St. Peter’s gives new life to the church’s ministries. The theme of this year’s campaign is Abounding in Thanksgiving. As the campaign gets underway, please pause for a moment to consider the great abundance that St. Peter’s brings to your life and your community. St. Peter’s offers fellowship and support... activities for families… facilities that benefit many community groups… outreach ministries like our work at Maple Street and Hopkins Manor… Christian education that supports us in our spiritual journeys… … and the wonderful opportunity to worship together every week of the year. This year’s campaign offers something new—three parties, opportunities to join with your fellow parishioners for food, drink, and a little dreaming. You won’t be asked to make a pledge at these gatherings, but you’ll be asked to “blue-sky” a little. What’s your vision for St. Peter’s in the years ahead? The parties… -Goulden family home on November 16th at 7:00 PM, megan.goulden@gmail.com -Susan Mitchell’s home on November 17th at 3:00 PM, fjmsfm@comcast.net -Bushee family home on November 22nd at 7:00 PM, gsbushee@gmail.com Please pick one and RSVP to the host or hostess. E-mail is recommended. God blesses us for a purpose. Stewardship is the responsible care of gifts we’ve been given. And St. Peter’s is one of the great gifts in our lives. Our stewardship goal this year is $150,000. Income from generous parishioners like you is vital to the church’s survival. The church’s many good works depend on stewardship pledges from generous parishioners like you. November 2013

Maple Street: November 17 Save the Date!
A few days ago Pat McCarty gave us a quick update on the next visit to the Maple Street Homeless Shelter, scheduled for Sunday, November 17. Volunteers are needed to provide financial donations (for groceries and utensils) and to prepare food. We’ll be serving 70 residents, and more servers are always welcome. Dinner is at 5:00 PM. See the menu below. Pat tells us that she and Deacon Skip will provide some of the hams, but you should feel free to prepare one yourself. Lisa Trei has already signed up for the entire yam dish. All of the other items need cooks... just pick one (or more) and let Pat know your choice. Menu: Ham (total of 5 half hams needed) Mashed yams (Lisa Trei) Green salad or Fruit Salad Cornbread casserole (recipe available) Bread or rolls and butter Homemade cookies, cake, or cupcakes Pumpkin or apple pie (Costco makes good ones) Drinks (water, juice, etc) Paper plates, napkins, and cups, and plastic utensils Donations of items such as toiletries, new socks and underwear are always welcome, as are small denomination gift certificates ($5-$10) to stores such as Kmart, Target, Denny’s, Subway, etc. Anyone interested in helping (or learning more) can contact Pat at pat_mccarty@sbcglobal.net or at 650.592.2276. What a great ministry... and what great volunteers!

THE DEACON’S BEACON By Dn. Skip Bushee Some of you may have noticed that I have been “missing in action” more frequently lately and I feel the need to explain myself. The first reason is that now that through your prayers and modern science my health has been restored, my wife and I are doing a bit more traveling. In fact, as you read this, we are probably wending our way through the Panama Canal. We feel the need to check off as many items on our “bucket list” as possible as long as we remain able to travel. The second reason is now that we have a wonderful new priest in charge and things are settling down a bit at St. Peter’s, I have decided to expand my ministry. First a bit of background. Recruiting and training deacons is a challenging business. It takes a lot of time (around four years), costs the individual a lot of money (around $20,000) and we don’t get paid much if at all. (St. Peter’s pays me a small stipend for which I am most grateful as it sets an important precedent for all deacons.) As a result we only get the most dedicated individuals entering the diaconate and for the most part they are at a point in their lives where they can afford the time and the money. Nevertheless, despite our best efforts, we only have about 40 active deacons in the diocese to serve over 80 parishes. We have sent no one to the School for Deacons in my 12 years in the parish despite much effort on my part to recruit likely individuals. For these reasons and after much consideration, I have decided to split my time between two parishes. Beginning in October, I have been spending the first and third Sundays of each month at Trinity Menlo Park and the remainder of the time at St. Peter’s. Like St. Peter’s, Trinity has its share of members who need regular pastoral visits and also like St. Peter’s, Trinity is reexamining its outreach program. I hope to be able to contribute to both and possibly find ways to bring the two congregations together for some projects. As far as I know this model of diaconal ministry has never been tried. If it works, I hope it can serve as a model for other deacons in the diocese. I spent 20 years at Trinity and I still know a lot of the people there so it is a comfortable place for me to go. At the same time, St. Peter’s has become my home and it would take an act of God (or maybe the Bishop) to drag me away. I look forward to many more years as your deacon and hope you will support me as I move forward into this new expanded role.

News from the Second Floor Where do they get the energy?
We asked Cari Pang Chen how things were coming along with Godly Play these days, and boy, did we learn a lot! Here’s what she told us… “We started the Godly Play school year in September by gathering all the children into one classroom. We reviewed the ‘Circle of the Church Year’ as well as the stories of Moses and Exodus. Thanks to Kim Schiff, Dianne Brien, and Adina Badia for their assistance. “In October, we had Godly Play on October 13 and 27. Our themes were the ‘Ten Best Ways / Ten Commandments’ and ‘The Ark and the Tent / Tabernacle of Moses.’ “The children began a big community service project on October 20, collecting items to be donated to several local nonprofit organizations. There was interest from others in the congregation in contributing to these efforts as well, so the collection was extended through Sunday, October 27. “The project was designed to help us prepare for November’s Thanksgiving season. We collected food items for Second Harvest Food Bank, warm socks and toiletries for the Maple Street Homeless Shelter, and Halloween costumes for kids at Samaritan House. “Donations for Second Harvest are always welcome; there are boxes in the Vestry Room for canned goods and other non-perishables. Items packaged in glass should be packaged in protective boxes to prevent breakage. Nutritious foods are preferred. “Financial contributions for the purchase of additional items are welcome, too. Contact me in church or at caripangchen@gmail.com . “The children would like to do a service project each month in lieu of Godly Play, so I plan to adjust the schedule to involve a project that serves the larger community or the St. Peter’s community. “It’s wonderful to see more of the older youth participating as acolytes, ushers, and choir members, as well as participating in Confirmation Class and the youth group. Thanks to our church community for your support of all of our youth at St. Peter’s!”

Other items related to the physical plant… -Darryl reported that keys and locks in the church buildings will be replaced soon. -The carpets in the duplex will be cleaned, not replaced as discussed in September. -The Vestry will continue to solicit bids for work on the sanctuary flooring.

Baton Notes –James Sharpe
Where’s the Light? Every fall the days grow gently shorter until suddenly we “fall back” and move into Pacific Standard Time. Waking one hour later on November 3rd will not be a problem, but the early darkness which now begins so quickly changes the timbre of our lives. We look outside at 4:30 pm and it is dark, really dark. Travel is no longer defined by our roads, but by lights in the darkness: headlights, taillights, stoplights, and, of course, fog lights. The rhythm of our church calendar changes also. We are getting ready to begin Advent, the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, the expectant time of waiting for New Light, when the world slows down, burdened by its struggles to comprehend what needs change and how to change it. The challenge facing us is that this time of waiting, expecting and reflection, is filled with the cacophony of commercialism. Even though it begins with a (tooearly) celebration of Thanksgiving, the sound of sharing is strident with the fear of forgetting someone or failing to complete a simple task of gratitude. Time just doesn’t begin to run, but it quickly “runs out” when yet another thing is added to our list. Our Sunday worship can be a respite from this. For a short time we contemplate the Light, and, experience the Light. This joyous time is especially evident after worship when it really takes a long time for us to leave, especially with the great treats that magically appear. It also happens before worship, when members of our choirs greet each new arrival with real joy and gratitude in anticipation for what will happen in the next several hours. Be part of this – our regular choir meets at 9:00 am on the second and fourth Sunday. Our new 3S² group, the Third Sunday Singers, A Voice for All Ages, meets at 9:30 am and is especially oriented to those who “don’t have time for more” – such as our middle and high-school youth. The act of rehearsal not only gives us energy, but gives us Light. Experience it. Please join us! All are welcome! 15

Lost Cat! Due to an editorial malfunction this cat was somehow misplaced in last month’s feline round-up. If you should happen to see it… well, you’re probably in Las Vegas, where former parishioners Mark and Shannon Weiss won second prize in Las Vegas Pet Scene Magazine’s “Silliest Pet Photo” contest with this very picture. Apologies to Mark and Shannon for losing Cruiser, and thanks to the many cat-loving parishioners who contributed photos to last month’s issue of the Keys. They’re all prizeworthy.
