THE CONTAGIOUS COMMUNION OF SAINTS
“I believe in the communion of saints.” Many of us say that phrase daily when we recite the Apostles’ Creed. On this Sunday, All Saints’ Sunday, we will say it as part of the Baptismal Covenant when we baptize new Christians.
“I believe in the communion of saints.” I don’t mean that I believe in the people that the general world, outside the church, calls saints. You know: Saint Francis, Saint Mary, Mother Teresa, Saint so-and-so. They are all wonderful people, yes, and they are all saints; and, yes, I believe very much in them, too. But I believe in something bigger. I believe in the community of saints. I believe that when God touches someone, that person becomes part of a community. And when God touches someone in baptism, that person becomes contagious – from the Latin word meaning “to touch.” When a person is touched by God in baptism, I believe that person becomes contagious. That person becomes a carrier. Yes, in these days of obsession with even the slightest of germs and viruses, we all know—or think we know—what being contagious is. It is generally something we are scared of!
But I believe in something far more powerful than those deadly diseases. I believe that the touch of God is contagious. I believe that when God touches us, we become a carrier. We become a carrier of grace. We become a contagious communion!
Maybe that condition does not have the same strength from carrier to carrier, but we do all carry that condition. The communion of saints is a group of people who are carriers of grace. And that grace is so powerful that we can catch it from each other. In fact, that grace is so powerful that we can catch it from people who are alive or dead. We are grace-carriers. Some of the carriers of God’s grace have names that we do not remember. They taught us Sunday School, or they taught our children Sunday school, or they taught our neighbors’ children Sunday School. Or they served food at our parish dinners and at the homeless shelters.
And, most of the times, these carriers of grace, this communion of saints, were not even at a physical church at all. They were at their businesses, their places of work. You have met them “in school, or in lanes, or at sea – in church, or in trains, of in shops, or at tea” (Hymn 293 in The Hymnal, words by Lesbia Scott). They were doing things like making peace, being merciful, being pure in heart – the very things that Jesus calls “Blessed” in the Sermon on the Mount.
Blessed are the meek. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake. The actual church is not the place where those attributes are caught the most often. They show up where we work and where we engage in relationships: in our families, in our neighborhoods, even in our politics. They show up wherever grace-carriers touch people.
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” From this week’s lectionary Luke 6:27-28
The carriers of grace, the saints, are not always the strong-looking and healthy-looking. Often, they look like those who are sad and in mourning: “Blessed are those who mourn.” Jesus said. Often, they look like those who are forlorn and depressed: “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Jesus said. I believe in the communion of saints, those people who have shown me some kind of grace even in the strangest of places and conditions, and even when they were unaware they were carrying and transmitting grace. Yes, that grace is so contagious that we can catch it from people even after they have died. That’s why we celebrate All Saints’ Day.
You’ve had those kinds of people in your life, too. You knew they had weaknesses and quirks and idiosyncrasies. But they carried something greater than their weaknesses; they carried grace in the midst of their weaknesses. That’s what made their very weaknesses carriers of the contagion. Grace is contagious, and it is made strong in weakness – just as St. Paul reminded the Corinthians that the power of Christ is made perfect in weakness.
I believe in the contagious communion of saints. This contagious communion is how the amazing grace of God is transmitted from generation to generation. Join us this Sunday as baptize some more saints, as we touch them with the contagious love of God.

Dr. Bill Harkins, priest associate and professor of pastoral care at Columbia Theological Seminary, will lead a 6-week class on “Lay Pastoral Care: A Brief Introduction to Theology and Practice,” beginning next Sunday, November 13 in the Dean’s Forum. This class is for those currently involved in lay pastoral care, lay Eucharistic visitation, and other forms of ministry, and for those who would like to explore this as a new avenue of service! The topic for the Dean’s Forum will be “Grief, Loss, and a Theology of Lay Pastoral Care.” In subsequent weeks we will explore such topics as grief and loss, pastoral conversation and listening, a theology of the priesthood of all believers, hospital and shut-in visitation, a theology of compassion, appropriate referral, and related topics. The course will culminate in a Blue Advent/Longest Night service for those for whom the holiday season may be challenging and who may be in need of healing, reconciliation, and care. This service will be conducted by members of the class, and will take place on December 21. All are welcome, and no prior experience in lay pastoral care is required.
ALL SAINTS’ DAY
Choral Requiem Eucharist for All Faithful Departed Sunday, November 6
4 p.m.
On Sunday, November 6 at 4 p.m., the Cathedral will offer a Choral Requiem Eucharist during which we express the intercommunion of the living with those who have entered into the nearer presence of God, and we remember by name those members and friends of the Cathedral parish who have died in the faith of Christ within the past year. Written as a liturgical work (and sung this day by the Cathedral Choir with a small orchestra and organ), Maurice Duruflé’s setting of the ancient and image-rich Christian texts of the Requiem mass will be sung in its intended context of worship – a fully choral service of Holy Communion – using Duruflé’s original, most intimate orchestration. All are welcome. For those who cannot attend, this service will be streamed online at stphilipscathedral.org/stream.

ECW GENER AL MEETING RECAP The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of the Cathedral had a wonderful general meeting on September 29. The following officers were uninimously approved for 2017: Mary Mercer (president), Caroline Wallace (president-elect), Sandra Cross(vice president), Marjorie Singley-Hall (treasurer), and Cheryl Mullins (recording secretary). Our guest speaker was Chaplain Kemmie McNeese from Arrendale Women’s Prison. She spoke of the programs that she has implemented for inmates and former inmates, and suggested ways Cathedral members might get involved. Chaplain McNeese emphasized the need for incarcerated women to connect with the outside world, to know that there are people outside of the prison walls who care for them, and that they are loved in spite of their mistakes. The chaplain was accompanied by two former prisoners, from whom we heard firsthand just how dehumanizing incarceration can be, how it can strip individuals’ self-worth, and how difficult reentry into society is. Many prisoners are mothers, broken to the core because they have lost the rights to raise their children. ECW members at the meeting were moved by their very emotional stories. Canon Cathy Zappa has been involved with the prison for years and will be the ECW’s liaison in upcoming service projects. Please let Canon Zappa or ECW president Frances Flock know if you are interested in a day of service or in contributing to a book or clothing drive. As Jesus teaches us, when we serve the “least,” we are serving him.

SPIRITUALITY ADVENT QUIET DAY: "PREPARING A SPACE" The season of Advent is a season of preparation, a time of getting ready for what lies ahead.

The retreat will be facilitated by Barbara Pendergrast, who received her M.Div. from Emory's Candler School of Theology and is a spiritual director and board certified member of the Association of Professional Chaplains. The cost is $20, which includes lunch. Register with Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1034, by November 29.
