This issue's Quote:

"It happens all the time in heaven,

And some day

It will begin to happen

Again on earth

"That men and women who are married,

And men and men who are Lovers,

And women and women

Who give each other Light,

"Often will get down on their knees

And while so tenderly

Holding their lover's hand,

With tears in their eyes,

"Will sincerely speak, saying,

'My dear,

How can I be more loving to you;

How can I be more Kind?'"

-- Sufi Mystic Hafiz

1 Willie Nelson's New Gay Cowboy Song

"I wish I knew how to quit you," Jack Twist (played by Jake Gillenhal) to Ennis Del Mar (played by Heath Ledger) in the brilliant movie, "Brokeback Mountain."

It had to happen. Willie Nelson can be heard singing "He Was a Friend of Mine" over the closing credits of Ang Lee's magnificent, poignant, and heartbreaking movie "Brokeback Mountain." And now the incomparable Willie Nelson has released a song about life among the cowboys, "Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)."

Oddly enough this song was written long before "Brokeback Mountain" came to the screen, by Texan-born singer and song writer Ned Sublette in 1981.

Nelson, who sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys," released this very different kind of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day. "Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" is probably the first overtly gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. It is available exclusively through iTunes, and features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson's deadpan delivery. The song debuted on Valentine's Day on Howard Stern's satellite radio show.

Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)

There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas; There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend.

Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes, No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.

Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine, And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.

Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women, But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other What did you think those saddles and boots was about?

There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother, Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.

Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie, And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.

Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies, But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.

There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother; There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.

Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper, And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:

When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister. Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.

Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns; There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother; There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.

Well, to quote Ennis Del Mar's closing line of the movie, "Jack, I swear. . . ."

2. Two Lenten Studies

Lent begins on Wednesday, March 1, just a week and a half away, and Chi Rho Press is very proud of our two books of Lenten devotions. Here is a description of each one.

"'You Need Only To Be Still:' Using the Hebrew Scriptures to Journey Through Lent," by Randy Jedele. Spiral bound, 5½" x 8½", 100 pages. A book of daily devotions for Lent, in which author Randy Jedele takes us on a journey through the Old Testament. A lay Christian Education minister in the United Church of Christ in Iowa, Randy Jedele has drawn on his strong Protestant and Congregationalist background to enliven the Hebrew Testament for us in new ways in these Lenten devotions. View it on our Web site at this link:

http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevYouNeedOnlyToBeStill.htm

In "You Need Only to be Still," each of the 40 days of Lent, starting with Ash Wednesday, features a Hebrew Testament passage, followed by two questions for your consideration to bring the passage into our own lives.

Then Randy provides his own "Thoughts for Meditating," a few paragraphs reflecting on the ancient Bible story in which he offers some background information where it is needed and his own thoughts on the two questions.

On the right hand page for each day in Lent there is space for the reader to write his or her own "Personal Reflections," an opportunity for the reader to respond and record thoughts and feelings. Each day concludes with a prayer, a personal moment between the reader and God. For each Friday, Randy has chosen a passage from the Psalms.

The six Sundays of Lent in "You Need Only to be Still" have a very different format with two blank pages for each Sunday, one for "Reflections from the Past Week" and one for "Opportunities to Seek in the New Week."

Randy writes, "I have chosen the Sunday format for a couple of reasons. First of all, I have chosen not to have a Scripture passage for Sundays because I did not want to interfere with the scripture passages used in the regular lectionary for the day. Secondly, it is my practice to do just as I have suggested on Sundays. I spend my devotional time on Sundays to reflect on the events of my past week and contemplate on opportunities that may lie before me in the new week.

I think it is important for us to remind ourselves of the lessons we have learned, the joys we have known, and the pains that have pierced our hearts. It is also good for us to make plans for the days that come before us. Reflecting is truly a time of quiet meditation and being still before God."

The title, "You Need Only to be Still," comes from Exodus 14:13-14, "Moses answered the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.'" Randy Jedele writes, in the Introduction, "Too often we Christians ignore the Hebrew Scriptures and build our relationships with God on the New Testament. However, as I have journeyed through the Hebrew Scriptures through the years, I have always marked passages that spoke to me.

It has not surprised me to discover a wealth of spiritual wisdom throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.

It is my hope and prayer that those who use this devotional as they journey through Lent will also discover the richness of the God of the Hebrew Scriptures. Truly, there is much to be learned as we discover the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Hannah, Ruth, and Esther, a God who was a powerful source in the lives of those who learned to seek the presence of the living God and to live in the stillness of God's grace."

"Over and over, God calls us to be still, so that God can minister to our hearts and prepare us to journey each day as a new day. . . . I have envisioned that [this devotional] will mostly be a personally journey, a quiet time each day when the readers will, on their own, seek the stillness of God. . . . As you read, meditate, and pray through this devotional, may God bless and enrich your life. It is my prayer that each of you will find God in the stillness of your busy lives and that God will provide you with wisdom, fill you with peace, and shower you with love."

We know you will be blessed by this book of devotions for Lent. You may order it on our Web site at this link:

http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevYouNeedOnlyToBeStill.htm

$10.95 each, six or more copies for $8.95 each, plus shipping and handling.

*****

Our first book of Lenten Meditations was "For Another Flock," written from a Gay Roman Catholic point of view. "For Another Flock: Rainbow Meditations and Study Guide for Lent," by Jeffrey Lea.

($10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies, plus shipping and handling.) View it on our Web site at:

http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevForAnotherFlock.htm

Written out of the deep faith and learning of a gay practicing Roman Catholic and from a Catholic perspective, "For Another Flock" includes daily meditations for all the days of Lent and Holy Week, beginning with Ash Wednesday (which this year is March 1), and ending with Easter Sunday. Scripture readings are provided for every day in Lent and Holy Week followed by a reflection from a uniquely gay and Catholic point of view and a prayer.

Following the daily meditations is a seven-week Lenten Bible Study Guide. Jeff Lea's introduction explores Lent as a penitential season, discussing penance and repentance.

Each weekly Bible Study starts with a Gospel reading.

There is a Lenten theme for each of the seven sessions.

Week One is "An Ash Wednesday Ritual and Discussion of the Nature of Penance." Week Two is "The Nature of Temptation." Week Three is "The Meaning of Sin in our Lives." Week Four is "Faithfulness and Homosexuality."

Week Five is "The Joy of Being Gay." Week Six is "The Meaning of Judgement." And the concluding session is "The Last Supper and the Mandatum" (New Commandment).

Seven Appendices conclude the book: Solemnities and Feasts in Lent, Lectionary Cycle Calendar, The Books of the Old Testament of the Various Biblical Traditions, Small Group Study Guidelines, an Ash Wednesday Liturgy, a Maundy Thursday Liturgy, and a Bibliography.

Jeff Lea writes, "Far too many gay women and men continue to view the primary Christian scripture, the Holy Bible, as a document hostile to people whose expression of intimate love is homosexual. Nothing can be further from the truth. While the Bible does condemn the ritualistic abuse of human sexuality it does not ever express a view of same-sex love as an abomination. In fact it affirms it in the love story of Jonathan and David.

"The Bible's primary message is Love. To love God, ourselves, and each other as God has loved us. The Bible is not a handbook on how to hate sin. It is a transcript of the ongoing love story between God and the people of God.

"Lent is the primary renewing and penitential season of the Church year. It is the time of personal examination and purification before we enter into the Paschal mystery on Easter Sunday. We are at the door to salvation during this time. Gay people are also at that door and we too have an experience of conversion and faith. These meditations present the point of view of a gay male Christian exploring the liminal experience of coming out gay, coming out Christian, and discovering affirmation in the Bible. The book provides both a daily meditation on the scriptural readings for Lent, and a seven-week group study that explores penance from a positive gay perspective."

"For Another Flock: Rainbow Meditations and Study Guide for Lent" is spiral bound, 5 ½" x 8 ½", 104 pages, and sells for $10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies, plus shipping and handling.

3. May We Suggest "The Bible and Homosexuality"?

"The Bible and Homosexuality," by the Rev. Michael E. England. $10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies, plus shipping and handling.

http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevBibleAndHomosexuality.htm

This book takes us back to the basics. For too many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people of faith, the Bible has been used as a club to batter and beat them down.

Only six lonely little verses that have been used against LGBT people. Despite the paucity of unequivocal condemnation in the Hebrew and Christian Testaments, some religious folk use those six verses to justify a world of hurt for LGBT people, their families, and supporters. These 'clobber passages' are over-used and abused!

So for much of the LGBT community, "going back to the basics" of their oppression is going back to the Bible.

The Rev. Michael England has written what we think is the best primer on "The Bible and Homosexuality." We are proud to have published this slim, but important volume, which has been our best seller for over ten years. In 1998 we published the fifth edition of Michael's important work.

This is the best book that explores the Bible passages that have traditionally been used to condemn LGBT people.

Sections include Inspiration; Critical Interpretation (Textual Criticism, Historical Criticism, Source Criticism, and Form Criticism); the Passages Believed to Relate to Homosexuality (Deuteronomy 23:17-18, Genesis 19:4-11, Leviticus 18:23 and 20:13-14, I Corinthians 6:9, I Timothy 1:10, and Romans 1:26-27); the "Contra Naturam" (against nature) argument; Heterosexual Marriage as "the Only Biblical Model;" Adultery and Fornication; and a Bibliography.

"The Bible and Homosexuality" is 72 pages, perfect bound, with a striking cover photograph of the Washington National Cathedral by renowned DC photographer Colin Winterbottom.

Every thinking Christian and all people who wish to engage other Christians in reasoned debate should have this volume on their shelves.

"The Bible and Homosexuality" is $10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies, plus shipping and handling. You may order from our Web page at http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevBibleAndHomosexuality.htm

4. "Christian with a Twist"

Here is a selection from our second major book of reflections, "Christian with a Twist: Reflections on Scripture that are a bit more inclusive, a bit more relevant, and with a bit of a bite," by the late William Gaston.

"Christian with a Twist" is available for $19.95 each,

$14.95 each for six or more copies, plus shipping and handling. You can read more about it and order it at http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevChristianWithATwist.htm

As the subtitle suggests, Bill's writing has a bit of a bite, and we believe you will enjoy his sharp, but loving take on Scripture, life, and faith.

Here is a selection entitled "Like a Glove" from the Epiphany section of "Christian with a Twist."

Please read Luke 3:15-17, 21-22

As you have probably noticed, sometimes when I reflect on scripture I come up with strange connections.

Remember the O.J. Simpson trial? They had found a glove at the murder scene and as the defendant tried it on, his lawyer said, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!" Well, O.J. got off, though many believed he was guilty and that it really was his glove.

God sent a dove to alight on Jesus, and the voice from heaven cried, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased." Jesus never asked to be acquitted of the responsibility of being God's Son. Well, only once at the very end he asked if the cup could be taken from him; but if not, God's will be done.

Notice the voice of God did not say that Jesus was the only son. All of us are God's children, but only Jesus has been able to fully and always live the life of being one with God.

All too often when we are handed gloves of opportunity we say they cannot possibly fit our hands. Doves may land on us, but we brush them off. I remember once when I was riding my bicycle a bird actually did land on my head. It was frightening. I think the only voices that I heard were crying, "Watch out!" as I careened into others while brushing frantically at my head.

That bird was probably a bit crazy and God forgave me for not giving it a ride on the Mount Vernon Trail. But how many times have we brushed off some work that God really would have been pleased to have us do? God is patient. Most of us are given a lifetime of opportunities. God loves us. But can God depend on us enough to call us The Beloved?

It is rather amazing, that God was able to affirm being pleased with the result when Jesus was just beginning his ministry. That was confidence based on assured dependability. No wonder heaven opened at the sight of it!

5. Sanctoral Cycle

As a regular feature in the Chi Rho Connection, we are offering up traditional saints listed in the 2006 Liturgical Calendar and Lectionary from today until our next scheduled electronic newsletter.

*****

Wed., Feb. 15, St. Raymond of Penyfort. Captives: Pray for protection from fearful servitude, which is worse than slavery that even one sinful habit tends to form. "An uncurbed will led to lust, and lust served became habit, and habit not resisted became necessity. By which links joined together (whence I called it a chain) a hard bondage held me enthralled," St. Augustine. "They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity for one is a slave to whatever has mastered one" (2 Peter 2:19).

Thurs., Feb. 16, St. Gilbert of Sempringham. Having a good conscience: St. Gilbert teaches us that we need to care very little about the judgments of others if our consciences are at rest and pure in the sight of God. "Now this is our boast: our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God" (2 Corinthians 1:12).

Fri., Feb. 17, St. Anastasius the Persian. Sign of the cross: Christ left the cross as the symbol of his religion. He seals our foreheads, our lips, and our hearts with this triumphant sign; with it we begin and end our days. "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6:14).

Sat., Feb. 18, St. Flavian of Constantinople. Reverence for those in authority: "And David's line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun; it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky" (Psalm 89:36-37).

Diversity Date -- Commemoration: Martin Luther

Sun., Feb. 19, St. Conrad of Piacenza. Abstinence and fasting: "It is impossible to win the crown without mastering the flesh," St. Gregory. We are called to fast regularly. This is a slight denial in memory of the passion and death of Christ. If Christ who is sinless suffered for us, should the sinners not deny themselves cheerfully for Christ?

Mon., Feb. 20, St. John the Almsgiver. Compassion:

"If we, however vile or unworthy, can enter the church day and night and ask God to hear our prayers, how careful should we be to hear and grant the requests of our fellow creatures," St. John the Almsgiver.

"A generous person will himself be blessed, for he shares food with the poor" (Proverbs 22:9).

Tues., Feb. 21, St. Moses the Ethiopian. Sorrow for our faults: If we are to continue to grow in our goodness, our prayer life must increase. We must avoid relapses into the faults and sins for which we have asked God's forgiveness. "God will not hear our prayers unless we acknowledge ourselves to be sinners.

We do this when we ponder our own sins, and not those of our neighbor," St. Moses.

Wed., Feb. 22, St. Margaret of Cortona. Penance: When we are born, we are born innocent. After we grow and leave our innocence behind, we must forever work to return to it by penance. "Though my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors" (Psalm 27:10-11).

Feast of the Chair of Peter Apostle.

Thurs., Feb. 23, St. Peter Damian. Humility in knowledge:

St. Peter was so learned that he became a doctor of the church, yet he regarded himself as the least of God's servants. All of the saints studied, not in order to become learned but to become perfect. Wisdom and true greatness is to become humble and count ourselves ignorant and to follow God's will in all things.

Fri., Feb. 24, St. Matthias (Patron saint: alcoholics).

Vocations: After Judas' betrayal and death, the apostles chose Matthias as his replacement in order that their number be complete. Since then, he has been numbered as an apostle although very little is known of him or his work. The lesson here is the contrast to Judas and his fate Judas who had been a friend to Jesus, who had the grace and vocation and Matthias who was called to apostleship and the fact of his perseverance and faith in Jesus.

Sat., Feb. 25, St. Walburga. Respect for sacred relics and objects: Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and in life and death should be treated with respect. "Christ gives us the relics of saints as health-giving springs through which flow blessings and healing," St. John Damascene.

Sun., Feb. 26, St. Porphyry. Superstition: All things searching into hidden or occult things is forbidden by the first commandment, equally with the worship of false gods. Let us, like St. Porphyry, develop a great zeal in keeping this commandment, lest we be led away as so many are by an inquisitive and prying mind. "Then the Lord said to me, 'The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them'" (Jeremiah 14:14).

Mon., Feb. 27, Bd. Anne Line. Patience when sick: Very few people are called to die for Christ. But we all have to live for Him; and we assimilate ourselves to the martyrs whenever we bear trials uncomplainingly and with composure for God's sake, especially the great trial of bad health. "Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, 'if I only touch his cloak, I will be healed'" (Matthew 9:20).

Our Lady of Sorrows.

Tues., Feb. 28, Bd. Angela of Foligno. God is our Father: "I said the Our Father with so much contrition and recollection, pronouncing every word carefully, that though I was in anguish at the thought of my sins, I yet received immense comfort and tasted something of the bliss God grants God's loved ones. I have never found a better way for realizing God's mercy than by saying that prayer which Jesus taught us," Bd. Angela of Foligno.

Wed., March 1, St. David (Patron saint: poets). Loving the faith: St. David believed that physical austerity is useless without charity and humbleness. We are blessed, not simply for drinking only water and eating only one meal per day, but for hungering and thirsting for holiness.

Ash Wednesday

Diversity Date -- Women's History Month

Thurs., March 2, St. Chad. Desire of heaven: The desire to be in heaven is the soul's comfort food. St. Chad longed for the peace of his cloister and often would spend hours meditating on heaven. "I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven" (Psalm 123:1).

Diversity Date -- The Jones Act: granted U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans

Fri., March 3, St. Aelred. True friendship: When we give ourselves to God, God gives us back friendship with all God's other gifts. Friends are no longer loved for themselves, but in and for God, and are loved with a love that is living and strong; for God can purify feeling.

It is not feeling, but self-love and self-centeredness that corrupts friendship. "A friend loves at all times, and a brother or sister is born for adversity" (Proverbs 17:17).

Sat., March 4, St. Casimir of Poland (Patron saint: bachelors). Praise of Mary: St. Casimir was the second son of Casimir IV, king of Poland. He grew up in an atmosphere of luxury, however the young prince turned his back on all of it to dedicate himself to the charity of the poor and afflicted. He had a special love and devotion to the Virgin Mary and his love for her was expressed as a hymn, "Daily, daily sing to Mary. "

"Jack, I swear. . . ."

If you haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain," you really must!

Just about everyone I know has seen it, one friend has seen it six times! I think that's a bit excessive, I've only seen it twice.

I will not spoil the story for those few people who have not seen the movie or read Annie Proulx’ spare and brilliant short story that the movie mirrors almost completely. But it is a truly wonderful, sad, heart breaking, poignant, and beautifully executed movie.

Jake Gillenhall and Heath Ledger give magnificent performances as the star-crossed lovers, Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar. Ledger totally disappears into his role as the inarticulate, repressed cowboy, mumbling his way through his agonized life.

The gay cowboy anthem newly recorded by Willie Nelson (see story number 1) has nothing to do with "Brokeback Mountain," except the common theme of homoerotic love in the west. Odd that this is all happening now, though.

Times are changing. The language in Nelson's new song is not very correct to our sensibilities, but bear with us a bit on that.

And of course, lines from the movie are entering our lexicon. Almost every time I see Keith, the openly Gay owner of Chris’ Steakhouse in Old Town Gaithersburg

(my new fav restaurant!), one of us says "Jack, I swear. . . ."

That’s the last line of the movie. I think it is the closest the repressed Ennis can come to saying, "Jack, I love you." The scene is totally heart breaking and beautiful. I urge you to go see the movie, if you haven’t already.
