Did You Know? The Angelus was started in 1919 — almost 100 years ago. It was produced weekly by the Men’s Club at Church of the Incarnation. That’s right. We said weekly. Don’t get any ideas. Some of the first editions of The Angelus included stories and topics such as: • Sharing the excitement of hiring a famous cartoonist on staff • Noting that all women who have the “Incarnation Spirit” should accept and contribute to a mite box • Identifying prayer requests as “Personals” • Praising the 4th grade boys’ Sunday School class for perfect attendance • Hosting a special evening worship service for the Boy Scouts • Asking members to make their New Year’s Resolution “to bring as many new members to church as possible” • Calling out parents for not attending Sunday School while their kids do • Bragging about scores against rival church basketball teams These full stories and more can be found framed in the hallway near the youth Sunday school area on the 2nd floor of the administrative building.

HONDURAS MISSION 2015 Copán! Incarnation sent a mission team of 41 people to work in a new part of Honduras this year. While the charming town of Copán Ruinas has cobblestone streets and major Mayan archeological sites, the Copán District is one of the poorest and most remote in Honduras. Day to day life can be primitive and difficult for the average person. Working with our Hondureño brothers and sisters, we experienced the closest relationship ever with the community where we served. Our construction team worked seamlessly with parishioners in the ongoing construction of La Iglesia Episcopal de Santa María Virgen, their future church building. Currently parishioners worship in homes. Our plans are to return to continue work on this church. In the village of Santa Rita, our Christian Education team brought Vacation Bible School and Christ’s love to children of the community. At La Iglesia Episcopal del Espíritu Santo, our Medical/Dental/ Pharmacy teams treated more than

600 people from the surrounding communities. We gave fluoride treatments to about 300 children. Some folks traveled as much as three hours to see doctors and dentists and a wellstocked pharmacy from Dallas. To help facilitate follow up care, we divided our undispensed medicines to leave with the two clinics. This is something we have been praying about for years! Meanwhile in Siguatepeque, our mission location for the past seven years, we have now established a complete potable water system at San Juan Apostel Episcopal Deanery and Bilingual School. Three years ago the Bishop of Honduras, The Right Reverend Lloyd Allen, asked Incarnation to provide sufficient clean water for this school that holds his hopes and dreams for the future of the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras. Mission accomplished! Martha Lang Director of Mission & Outreach
GUATEMALA MISSION 2015 “Here I am Lord; send me.” The High School Mission Trip has become a tradition and our students have had the privilege of traveling all over the world ministering to different groups of people. Carl Hammack, missions sponsor, started taking our students 24 years ago and is just as passionate about taking students today. Pam Coghlan, Director or Student Ministry, and Carl Hammack, along with our students and adults got a new word from the Lord – Guatemala! Our 2014 trip was amazing. We fell in love with the missionaries and the people of Guatemala, and saw their need. We were moved to return. Building homes and stoves is a wonderful experience for students and adults but those are simply tools that God uses to help us experience Him. The missioners work alongside the local pastors and priests of the community that we serve in. Gratitude becomes an overwhelming emotion that moves us to tears.
God allows us to be enlightened by what we see. He says that the poor will always be among us, but He also says boldly that what you have done for the least of these you have done unto me. No matter who we are or what we are doing, we are called to give to the poor. They are His children just like we are His children. We have been given a responsibility to step up and share. Because we can. The theme for this trip was "How beautiful are the feet of those who share the good news" –Romans 10:15. Our feet were ready, along with our hearts and minds. This might be a once-a-year trip, but we also know that we can walk out our back door and see those in need. Now back in the U.S. and safe in our beds, our prayer is that we become more attuned to those whom God is putting in front of us right here in Dallas, in Uptown, and respond to the call He has given. Pam Coghlan Director of Student Ministry

It’s time. It’s time to celebrate. It’s time to welcome; to worship; to serve; to grow—time to give; to love; to believe; to hope. It’s time. This fall, from preaching to teaching, from within our parish to the wider world—our church-wide theme is “It’s time.” It’s time for our parish to receive all the gifts God has poured out upon our faithful community, and time for us to rise to the opportunities this fall, as we open our new facilities to fulfill our parish’s mission in new and larger ways. Let’s look back on how we came to this moment. It began with a core group of women praying for a fresh vision which God answered with a focused call to look outward to grow the next generation of disciples, and to deepen our service to the poor in our community. With that, we began to see significant growth in our worship services, particularly among young adults, so much so that we started to run out of space. We realized that to be faithful to what God was up to was not to sit idly by, content with the good work we were already doing, but to sacrifice to create new facilities and new programs to further those efforts. St. Luke’s Gospel spoke directly to us, particularly the story of Jesus boarding the fishing boat of a tired, failing fisherman named Simon Peter. Commanding him to relaunch his boat back out to sea, Jesus tells Peter: “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” He’d been fishing all night and caught nothing—so this final toss no doubt seemed futile to poor, tired Peter. But then the miracle happened. The net
nearly broke, straining as the huge catch of fish was brought in nearly sinking Peter’s boat. Once back on shore, Jesus called Peter, along with James and John, to give up fishing for fish, and to become fishers of men. He called them to become apostles spreading the Good News of God’s coming kingdom. So we’ve built the new Ascension Chapel, new education space for children, students, and adults, and new Welcome Center to better welcome the world into Christ’s work here. We’ve also launched exciting new program initiatives such as Incarnation House (serving the homeless teens of North Dallas High School and Uptown), a church in Belize, and the Beecherl-Corrigan Fellows program (growing the next generation of Christian leaders), and created an endowment for the poor. And many of us have grown in our relationship with God by making sacrificial gifts, stretching ourselves to provide for God’s work in this moment. And all that is why, now, it’s time. Throughout the pages of this edition of the Incarnation Angelus, and in all our communication in coming weeks and months, you’ll find ways for all of us to be part of this historic moment in our parish’s life and in God’s work on earth. We continue with the mission set before us to Worship God in the Great Tradition of the Church, to Make Disciples, to Serve the Poor, and to Raise Up Leaders for the Renewal of the Church nationally and around the world. But we do so this fall with a renewed sense that this is our moment to make a huge step forward for God’s Kingdom. So wherever you find your own relationship with God right now—and whether you’ve been a part of Incarnation for 50 years or just joined us for your first Sunday—please know that It’s Time for our parish, and It’s Time for you and your involvement here. God is doing great things through this place, and God wants to do great things in your life through this moment. So again, I hope you’ll join us for all the opportunities coming our way.

MOMS TALK A fellowship of mothers looking to make it through the long days of those years that go by so quickly — and to grow in love and service to our family and the Lord along the way.
By Meg Houk Associate Director for Children & Family Ministry
Kristi has written this devotional and created a “toolkit” to go along with it in order to help other moms consider the unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves and begin to change our thinking about how the Lord would have us use this season of motherhood. In Romans 12:2, St. Paul exhorts us to “not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” I believe the wonderful group of mothers who have gathered for Moms Talk through the years have appreciated the opportunity to take a little time out to consider how to raise our children in this busy (and sometimes crazy) day and age and how to seek God’s wisdom to do it according to His purposes and plans.
Last year I told my husband that I was convinced that if I contacted the Lifetime Network and told them about the “mama drama” that goes on at my kids’ school I just knew I could be making the big bucks by getting them to come film a reality show of the life I was living. It seemed like every birthday party we attended had to be bigger and better than the last, every volunteer opportunity was a “must do” (and I had to look super cute while doing it and be scintillating to boot) and unless we immediately invested in private tutoring (or piano or club lacrosse or Model United Nations) after school at least three times a week, my kids were destined to spiral into a life of hard crime. It was an exercise of real discipline and faith to keep myself MOMS TALK from the fear of Motherhood Failure that THURSDAY MORNINGS was sure to ruin the Houk kids for all SEPTEMBER 24 — NOVEMBER 19 time. This is the message I was picking up 9:30 – 11:30 • THE FLAT in the world around me — from the moms all around me and it was the message that Baby sitting available with reservation to was making my calling as a mother full of Jill at jbellew@incarnation.org anxiety, fear, and ultimately exhaustion. This fall the ministry of Moms Talk enters its sixth year. Moms Talk is a gathering of women at varying stages of motherhood who meet for fellowship, food, free baby sitting, and a bit of encouragement for the very daily task of parenthood.
In the process of working our way through Saving SuperMom, we will slow down and examine how we are actually spending our time. Through the study of Scripture, we will begin to ask ourselves how God would truly like us to spend our time — what is truly important and what is not. We will discuss ways to grow in our understanding of stewarding our time and talents in ways that honor God and truly bless our families. We will learn ways to pray for each of our family members. We will consider the roles we have. We will begin to create simple vision statements for ourselves. And hopefully, through 9 weeks of fellowship, sharing, prayer, and a little bit of homework, we will understand God’s love for each of us better, and have a deeper sense of our calling and have found fruitful ways to use this season to grow in our relationship with Him as we seek to help our children to grow in relationship with Him. Of course there will still be carpools and soccer games and orthodontist appointments, but perhaps we will know more peace and a sense of purpose in the midst of it all!
Beginning Thursday, September 24, we will meet for 9 weeks to work our way through a book by author Kristi Walters called Saving SuperMom. Kristi is the mother of four who also found herself running on the harried hamster wheel of trying to be SuperMom in all places, at all times, and for all people.
If you are running a little ragged from the Super Mom routine, please consider joining us on Thursday mornings in The Flat at 9:30 am. You’ll be glad you did!

By Kimberly Durnan Director of Communication at The Episcopal Diocese of Dallas
Earlier this year, I traveled to Belize for a mission trip with about 30 others from Church of the Incarnation. Never having been on a mission, I wasn’t sure what to expect beyond our assignments to build children’s libraries, paint playground equipment and engage with Belizean students at the various schools we were scheduled to visit. My experience wasn’t earth shattering — it was subtle. God sneaked into my heart and intellect while I concentrated on painting, shelving books or talking to children. A sense of God’s presence drifted and swirled about us while we all worked making me feel part of a greater good, less selfish and more connected to the church.
stuff. It really made me question who has the better life. Of course, the absence of school libraries, running water and toilets made me appreciate the modern conveniences in my life. Outhouses are unsanitary, unpleasant and likely affect the health of those who use it. And I can’t imagine a life growing up without a library of children’s books. One of the more poignant moments of the trip came from a little boy who volunteered to help us stock a library we were installing at his school. He was very intensely shelving the books. Every now and again he stopped to pet the book spines of a newly lined shelf. He quietly contained his excitement until he came across a book about animals, pulled it from the shelf and started flipping through the pages, “ohhhhhh, this is a great book. I’m going to read this one first,” he said clearly enamored. That was hard to watch. I practically grew up in the town library and always had access to books. I can’t imagine his world where books are a luxury. I was reminded of how blessed I am to have always had books in my life. I was also really proud that we gave that kid some great books.
DEEPENING YOUR CONNECTION HERE BY SERVING ABROAD
A mission trip also brings to light the delights of hanging out with other Christians. There are wonderful There are many takeaways from the trip, conversations to be had when living but getting a clearer understanding of a few days among those who are as what it means to expand the Kingdom GOING ON A MISSION enthusiastic about spiritual life as you of Jesus tops the list. Namely because I are. For instance, it’s fun to talk about TRIP WILL NOT CHANGE grew up in a Baptist church, and am used favorite sermons, priests, services and THE WORLD, BUT IT to a more overt way of attempting to books with people who know their way engage others in the faith. This mission MIGHT CHANGE YOU around a church. We took deep dives influenced others by example. I just love into theological discussions, and no one that. We simply came to help. We didn’t had hurt feelings, got angry or took a preach at anyone, we didn’t say, “follow-Jesus-and-we-will-buildbig yawn. One missioner played a sermon during our drive back you-a-library.” We just provided our services and time. People to the airport. Everyone listened intently for the hour drive. Not were genuinely grateful and our light touch made for authentic a peep was made. Keeping company with other faithful people connections. Our most aggressive salesmanship came from for six days is a definite highlight and allowed me to make new wearing T-shirts with a quote from Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and friends with people who have similar interests. know that I am God… .” It was an accurate anthem for our trip. Despite good intentions, people sometimes criticize mission trips in foreign countries. Why go far when there is so much good that can be done in our own backyard is a popular reason. That’s somewhat true, but this mission in a foreign country expanded my viewpoint on many levels — particularly materialism. For instance, when I saw Belizeans washing clothes in a stream and viewed their simple dwellings, it made me recognize that I have too much stuff. Material objects have taken over my life and I need to dial down the collection of possessions. Belizeans are friendly and content without an iPad, a designer handbag or even a car. Their happiness didn’t seem altered from a lack of
Building libraries in Belizean schools was only a drop in the bucket, but I have returned thinking about more missions. Where can I volunteer, how can I help, what do I have to offer that would be useful are thoughts that have filled my brain since returning. If you are considering going on a mission trip, I give it my wholehearted recommendation. You will connect with God, grow in your faith and advance your spiritual maturity. At least I did. Join us for the next Belize info meeting on October 11 at 4 pm in the Dining Room.

FROM THE
MENNONITE CHURCH
TO THE
CANTERBURY TRAIL
A Q & A WITH FATHER CHRISTOPHER YODER TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR FAITH BACKGROUND. I was raised in a Mennonite church in rural Pennsylvania that had strong evangelical and even some charismatic influences. Growing up in that church profoundly formed me. I learned that being a Christian is about discipleship, about following Jesus, and that it’s something that demands everything from me and impacts every corner of life. I learned to take the Bible very seriously. I learned the importance of community, and the centrality of concrete acts of service to the Christian life. And I had lots of really good potluck dinners! I started down “the Canterbury trail” while I was an undergraduate at Wheaton College. I started reading early Christian thinkers (especially Augustine of Hippo), and they started to shape the way I thought about the Church. And I also started worshipping at an Anglican church, and the depth and the beauty of the liturgy captivated me. I became Episcopalian when I was confirmed at Incarnation several years later. WHAT DID YOUR CALL FROM GOD SOUND LIKE? DID YOU EVER QUESTION THE CALL OR THINK YOU MISHEARD? My call to the priesthood has sounded like the voices of others telling me to consider whether my gifts and abilities pointed to a priestly vocation. It sounded like Bishop Burton and other church leaders—and my wife—affirming God’s calling on my life. Because it hasn’t been a “Damascus road” experience, of course I’ve questioned it! But I always return to what the bishop says in the old ordination service. He says that you can’t even want to do what a priest is called to do apart from God’s gift. I trust that God has given me the desire to be a priest, and the Church has affirmed God’s gifts and call. Now I pray that God will enable me by the Holy Spirit to be a priest. HOW DID YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS RESPOND WHEN YOU SHARED THE NEWS OF YOUR CALLING? They’ve all been very supportive! My parents still have some questions about the Episcopal Church—for example, infant baptism—but they are happy to see that I am seeking to serve the Lord Jesus, and were very moved at my ordination. When I told one friend who I hadn’t seen in several years that I was going to be a priest, he paused for a few moments, and then said, “Yes. This seems right.” That meant a lot.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU FELT THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE THE CELEBRANT IN A WORSHIP SERVICE. I was very nervous, because I didn’t want to be a distraction to people trying to worship God. I tried to approach the service as prayerfully as possible. I remember feeling unworthy to represent Christ or to speak to the people on behalf of God and to speak to God on behalf of the people. I kept thinking, “Am I really allowed to do this?!” I hope I never lose that wonder and sense of dependence on God’s grace. AS A PRIEST AT INCARNATION, HOW DO YOU PLAN TO HELP FULFILL THE MISSION OF THIS CHURCH? Most simply, by pointing to Christ Jesus. That’s how I see everything I do as a priest: pointing to the Lord—in celebrating the Eucharist, baptizing, preaching, declaring God’s forgiveness to penitent sinners, anointing the sick, blessing marriages, burying the dead. More specifically, though, my various duties serve the mission of Incarnation: coordinating the liturgies in the Traditional services serves our mission to worship God in the great tradition of the Church. Teaching “On the Canterbury Trail” (our basic introduction to Christian belief and practice and the Anglican tradition) and leading the Twenties group, I see us about growing disciples. My work as chaplain to the Fellows Program (our gap-year discipleship program for recent college grads—learn more at thedallasfellows.org) and with young adults in general connects with our mission to raise up young leaders for the renewal of the Church. IF SOMEONE READING THIS IS CONSIDERING SEMINARY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE WITH HIM/HER? Keeping praying about it! And come talk with me (or any of the clergy). I would love to explore this with you. Above all, if you’re seriously considering seminary, begin now to soak yourself in Scripture and prayer; make praying the Daily Office (Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer) a regular habit. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED OR WANT TO SHARE? One of the projects I’m working on at the moment is to develop a church-wide welcoming ministry. By the time we move into the new buildings, we will have teams of greeters strategically positioned throughout the campus to welcome everyone who comes through our doors on Sunday mornings. Let me know if you’re interested in learning more and getting involved in this ministry. cyoder@incarnation.org

THE ABUNDANT LIFE By Kevin Dodge Guest Lecturer and Teacher

ANGELUS INCARNATION.ORG
About ten years ago, I was really unhappy. On the surface, I had everything going for me, a good job, a happy marriage and a nice place to live (San Diego). I was working hard in my career as a professional investor. But, I simply couldn’t figure out why all the fruits of my labors were bringing me no real satisfaction in my life. I was discontented and even depressed sometimes. In early 2005, my wife Lorelee and I got involved in a Bible study which changed our lives. This wasn’t a typical Bible study since it was focused on what the Bible had to say about money. And we were shocked to find out that the Bible had a lot to say about money, but we had never known it. In fact, according to Crown Financial Ministries, the Bible has more to say about money than any other topic besides love. One out of every six statements Jesus made in the synoptic gospels (ie Matthew, Mark and Luke) dealt with money. A full third of his parables dealt with money. I had been in the church most of my life. How had I never heard about this? We learned in no uncertain terms that generosity was central to building an authentic Christian life. But how could we be generous? We were six years out of graduate school, had school debts, car debt and a big mortgage. We were working all the time which made volunteering next to impossible. While we thought of ourselves as much more conservative financially than anyone we knew, we had to come to the hard realization that our hearts were focused on ourselves more than on others. In short, we weren’t very generous people. Oh sure, we gave some money away (largely for tax reasons), but never enough that it might alter our lifestyles in any meaningful way. In the aftermath of that study, we took some direct action. We sold our 4,000 square foot house overlooking a golf course and moved into a 900 square foot rental apartment. We did this so we could live without debt. We realized the pressure of debt was harming our well-being so we downsized so we could lead a different kind of life. Many (including even ourselves sometimes) thought we were crazy. We’ve never looked back from that decision and have never employed debt again (we bought a nice house in Dallas in 2013 with funds we had saved up over the years). But, most importantly, we’ve looked for ways to be generous for causes we believe in. For example, last year, we started making extra contributions to help fund scholarships for those going on to seminary. We believe in the church’s mission to raise up leaders and wanted to demonstrate that in a tangible way. By no means have we always gotten this right and we have many faults as givers. We’ve gone through seasons where giving has been more of a chore than a joy. We’ve also gone through times
when we have been severely challenged financially. And we still find it challenging to make decisions about what we’re going to fund and what we’re not. But becoming more generous people made us look at the world differently. Instead of a world of scarcity, we now see a world of God’s abundance all around us. Americans usually see themselves as generous people. In fact, according to the Charities Aid Foundation, America was the most generous nation in the world in 2014, ranking first in the percent of people who helped a stranger, fifth among those who volunteered time and ninth among those who donated money. Yet, in a book recently published by Oxford University Press (The Paradox of Giving), Christian Smith, a well-known sociologist at Notre Dame, argues that Americans aren’t quite as generous as they think they are. According to Smith’s data, only about 3% of Americans manage to give away 10% or more of their incomes. This is true despite Americans’ level of wealth and standard of living being among the highest in the world. What concerns Smith and his co-author Hilary Davison is that Americans are missing out on all the benefits that accrue to individuals when they give. According to Smith, generosity corresponds to better chances of health, happiness, financial success and longer life spans than those who do not give. Remarkably, these benefits are largely independent of one’s income. In other words, at any income or net worth level, there are tremendous benefits that can accrue by becoming a generous person. Why is this? Well, according to Smith, generous people have less time and money to spend on themselves. When we get the focus off ourselves and onto others, this makes us happier. Starting in September, I am going to be sharing some of these lessons during the adult Sunday School hour in a course I am titling “The Abundant Life.” The question I want to ask is “What does it look like to flourish in life?” Drawing on the Christian Scriptures, we will look at what it is to say “yes” to God, what the Bible’s teaching on money and possession is, what things get in the way of our flourishing as Christians. We’ll conclude with a discussion of the Bible’s wisdom on generosity, showing that great blessing is promised to those who give from the heart. As always, we’ll approach this topic through the stories of remarkable people who bettered their lives and the lives of others through generosity. We’ll learn that it really is more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35). I hope to you see you in class.

PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL We exist to Proclaim the Gospel. Because the Lord has made us his own through creation and then entered into a relationship with us, we have been greatly impacted by His love, grace, goodness and mercy. If we have a personal relationship with Him, we are being continually transformed into the likeness of Christ through the Holy Spirit. This was the 2015 summer camp theme that challenged students to seek to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ as they learned the importance of Proclaiming the Gospel in every area of their lives. Being stretched is how we grow, and I love when our students are challenged to step outside of their comfort zones. This might seem like a crazy thought since camp is known to be fun — full of friends and memories. Playing in the lake and laughing so hard you cry. But we were challenged and came out the other side in awe of how God moved and worked among us and in us and through us. I use the word awe because it is hard to describe witnessing an encounter with God. Words seem to limit what really took place. Sharing your faith and proclaiming the Gospel is a scary thought, but God asks us daily to step up and do just that — to allow Christ to shine brightly through our actions, behaviors, speech, attitudes, and decisions.

What a concept …what a challenge! This is what our students learned and grasped. One night I passed two of our students who happen to be great friends sitting and talking. They did not see me. One of the boys was telling his friend the doubt he was having about God. The friend listened patiently and then responded by sharing his struggles and then started sharing his faith by proclaiming the good news of the gospel. Frozen, I stood and prayed for the two of them — thinking to myself how blessed I was to witness God at work. I later asked the boy who shared his faith so boldly with his friend why he did it and told him that most students would have been scared to ever say anything. He said, “I was scared. But I knew that God would give me His words to say so I went for it, and I am glad I did. I love my friend, and I want him to know Christ the way I know Christ.” My hope is that you will clearly see how joyous and fun camp was but that you will know that we walked away with more than awesome memories and a T-shirt. We walked away knowing that God was with us, and when you encounter God expect to be changed…looking less like this world and so much more like Christ. Pam Coghlan Director of Student Ministry
#TheBestWeekOfYourLife On June 27, 30 North Dallas High School students and 5 Young Life leaders left Dallas headed towards Buena Vista, CO and the best week that these students would ever have. Here is a recount of one student’s experience and her journey to giving her life to God! At the beginning of this trip, I only thought of it as a way to pass time. I thought it would just be an opportunity to get away from home and explore a new place. Upon arrival, it was the most exciting moment of my life — people screaming and cheering for our arrival at Frontier Ranch. Butterflies started to grow as I took those first few steps off the bus. We were greeted with such enthusiasm, and I will never forget that moment or feeling. There were so many things to look forward to from the food, to the pool, to the activities, to club time, and most amazingly the view. We had competitions with other cabins such as volleyball or the rodeo, both on land and in the pool. As we competed, we also made new friends, which was a blessing to be able to do. We not only met other people, but we had the opportunity to get closer to the people we arrived with in the first place. We had multiple experiences on our own such as horseback riding, the ropes course, repelling, and much more.
Yet that’s not the best part. Although we did have loads of fun, we had the opportunity to meet the most important person in our lives. We had the honor of meeting the One who not only gave His life for us, but even after we sin over and over again He still loves us. We had the opportunity to build a relationship with God that most of us didn’t have before or had absolutely no clue was possible. Within club time, our 15 minutes alone, and our cabin time, our relationship with God grew and grew without limits. For that I am thankful. Not only to my Young Life leaders, my donors and sponsors, and the people I met at camp, but I am thankful to God for putting all these people in my path and leading me to more relationships, more happiness, and most importantly, more peace.
