2017-2018 Highlights
harlie Chaplin was an English comic actor and filmmaker who rose to fame in the silent film era of the 1920s and who refused to move to the production of sound films until 1940. Chaplin’s films are characterized by slapstick comedy combined with pathos – that quality of emotional appeal to the audience that evokes a heartfelt response. From the 1940s on, Chaplin’s films contained an increasing variety of social and political themes, elevating his silent satire to an art form.
I cannot tell you how many times in my 35 years as a school chaplain my title has been spelled the same way as Charlie Chaplin’s last name. I’m not alone. There may be more of a connection between Chaplin and “a chaplain” than the misspelling suggests. The Rev. Dan Heischman, executive director of the National Association of Episcopal Schools, writes: Chaplin was trained in ballet, which allowed him to do amazing stunts and make use of his incredible physical agility. Without saying a word, Chaplin told such interesting stories with his body. A good chaplain, to my mind, needs to have at least a little bit of artistry inside of him or her, be it of the dramatic, musical or improvisational variety. So too, Chaplin was able, in his films, to communicate the simple reality that life can be hard, sometimes unfair, and he did that so often by focusing on those who were experiencing difficult times. One of the most important gifts a chaplain can give to a school is the understanding of these realities of life, particularly in environments steeped in a system of merits and rewards. It is in Chaplin’s use of silence, however, that I think we find the greatest connection between a “chaplain” and Charlie Chaplin. Silence, for Chaplin, provided an opportunity for storytelling; it was not a technical inhibition of film at that time nor a disadvantage in his portrayal of characters. There were ways that silence could be used in his artistry that words could not capture. Perhaps that is why, after a sustained period of time when chaplains have introduced school communities to the ways silence can be used in chapel, students and faculty alike begin to crave it. The chaplain in our schools can be the one who ushers us into the possibilities of silence, rather than seeing it simply as an absence of what normally is crammed into our days. Whether it is an offering of prayers without words or allowing a poignant moment to linger, the link between chaplain and Chaplin can be strong. Continued on page 2
*Excerpts from Rev. Fidler’s final chapel talk of the 2017-2018 school year. In retirement, Rev. Fidler will continue living in San Diego and looks forward to serving on the Commission on Ministry of the diocese that shepherds the future deacons and priests of the Church through their ordination process. He will also serve as a facilitator of a nationwide group of school chaplains.

Chaplain or Chaplin – The Final Word
S U M M E R 2 0 1 8 1
For those of you who have visited my office, you know that a cardboard
cutout of Charlie Chaplin has watched over all that transpires there for as
many years as I have been the chaplain at Bishop’s. It is, for me, an aspirational reminder of what I have been called to be as the chaplain to the Bishop’s community and in the years before these.
And now, you are on the brink of welcoming a new chaplain to this
community - The Rev. Nicole Simopoulos. Like me, she is an Episcopal
priest, and she brings to our community over 15 years of experience at three different Episcopal schools from Washington, D.C. to Hawaii. Some of you had an opportunity to meet with her when she was here interviewing; if
you did, you can attest to her warmth, heart, faithfulness, love of teaching,

commitment to the life of schools and her energy! You are in good hands with
Rev. Simopoulos. Do NOT tell her what kind of “shoes she has to fillˮ or what kind of “footsteps she has to follow inˮ or any of those other well-intentioned
metaphors. Rev. Simopoulos comes with her own shoes, she will walk her own path, she will be her own person, and YOU - The Bishop’s School - WILL BE the richer for her presence in your midst. Welcome her with all the warmth
and kindness that is in you, extend to her every benefit of the doubt that we
all deserve, tell her what you need from her and support her in the work she will do among you. Being a priest, being a chaplain in any setting, is both
richly rewarding and sometimes lonely; it is a vocation that comes with unique

Now, the final word goes to my namesake, the “other” Chaplin, in an
excerpt from the closing speech in one of his most famous talking films of the 1940s, “The Great Dictator:”
“We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live
by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

E XC E R P T S F R O M T H E C O M M E N C E M E N T A D D R E S S BY A I M E C L A I R E R O C H E or me, as of late, that well-worn Latin phrase, tempus fugit, has been running through my mind. Time flies! The Roman poet Vergil wrote about time flying, which you can loosely translate: Every stripe of men and beast on earth Whether fish or flock or foul They—we—rush, for passion overtakes us all… Meanwhile it flees, time—that irreplaceable commodity, time—flies. While we blissful are obsessed with our individual details.
Time is an entity—afforded universally—to us all. It privileges no particular demography, race or religion; no political or social ideology more than another. No one—no matter their wealth or prestige—can actually buy time. And, here’s the thing: no one of us knows how much time we have. Surely, our time could be spent acknowledging the beauty inherent in one another, rather than judging our idiosyncrasies or making sport of imperfections that we all have. Actively promoting solidarity with, rather than exploitation of, those who are vulnerable. And investing in pursuits that actually bring joy to ourselves and to others. Because—tempus fugit—time is literally flying. Vergil’s poem is, actually, each of ours to finish. Thank you, Class of 2018, for the privilege of this time; time with you, time well spent.
