2.  Pride-Tide, 2006:  Alternative Readings for the Four Sundays in June

These readings for Pride-Tide, celebrating LGBT Pride Month, are taken from the 2005-2006 Liturgical Calendar and Lectionary, published by Chi Rho Press.

The Rev. Gordon R. McCoy, recently retired MCC Clergy, prepared alternative readings for Pride-Tide, the four Sundays in June, for MCC of the Fox Valley, Elgin, Illinois, U.S.A., and for Resurrection MCC, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.  Rev. McCoy and the Rev. Pat Bumgardner of MCC New York City, NY, U.S.A., co-facilitated a workshop on celebrating Pride-Tide at the UFMCC General Conference in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in July, 2005.

June 2006 contains two major Holy Days in the church calendar, Pentecost on June 4 and Trinity Sunday on June 11.  Nevertheless, we offer these alternative readings for the four Sundays of June.  June has historically been a month of Gay/Lesbian Pride celebrations.  Your community may celebrate Gay Pride at other times of the year and you may certainly use these readings at other times of special Pride celebrations.

******

Worship Planning for Pride-Tide:  Color:  Rainbow colors for Pride Month.  Symbols:  Pride symbols, such as rainbow flags, pink triangles, lambdas, etc.

******

First Sunday in Pride-Tide, June 4, 2006

Hebrew Testament: Esther 1:1-19; and 2:1-18.  Seven men who self-identify as female with their names assist Esther in her grooming and makeup, thereby helping Esther to become Queen and save the Hebrew people.  Mainstream translators say these style experts are "eunuchs."  Maybe there's a better, "queerer" name for such folks?

Response: Isaiah 56:1-7.  Eunuchs are welcome in God's Temple.

Epistle: Acts 8:26-40.  The conversion to Christianity of an African eunuch according to Holy Scripture.

Gospel: Mark 11:15-19.  Jesus quotes the vision of Isaiah 56 and thereby implies acceptance of "eunuchs" into God's house and family.

Theme:  Eunuchs and God's acceptance of them.

******

Second Sunday in Pride-Tide, June 11 2006

Hebrew Testament: Ruth 1:1-19a.  The story of Ruth and Naomi.

Second Reading: 2 Samuel 1:17-27.  David mourns the Death of his beloved Jonathan.

Gospel: Matthew 1:1-6, 16-17.  Ruth and David in the genealogy of Jesus.

Theme:  Same-gender beloveds in Scripture.

******

Third Sunday in Pride-Tide, June 18, 2006

First Reading: Luke 2:41-50.  Jesus at the Temple, age 12.

Second Reading: Matthew 12:46-50.  Jesus as a young man, describing his true family.

******

Fourth Sunday in Pride-Tide, June 25, 2006

Hebrew Testament: Exodus 19:2-8.  "When Israel Camped In Sinai:"  God as a Mother Eagle.

Second Reading: Matthew 8:5-13.  Jesus heals the centurion's houseboy, no questions asked.  Some modern commentators tell us that the Greek word used to describe the boy, pais, really means "lover."

Gospel: John 4:4-30 and 39-42.  Jesus has a little chat with a Samaritan woman who has had five husbands and now is living with a man who is not her husband.

Theme:  How Jesus approached sexual issues.

******

Special Events:  June 27, Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.  On this day in 1969, LGBT people in the U.S.A. mark the beginning of the modern movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered equal rights.  After the funeral of gay icon Judy Garland, patrons of the Greenwich Village, NYC, gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, resisted what had become routine police abuse and harassment and fought back.  Led largely by drag queens, many of whom were people of color, they started a series of demonstrations and "riots" that caught the imagination of LGBT people throughout New York City and indeed the world, leading to the birth of pride and LGBT empowerment organizations like the Gay Liberation Front and later the Gay Activists Alliance and then on to what we think of as the modern gay movement.

3.  May We Suggest "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse"?

Some of you have wondered about the health and well-being of Dr. Rembert Truluck, the author of the wonderful book, "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse."  His excellent Web site, www.truluck.com, which had been receiving millions of hits a year, had gone off line, and his cell phone was not working for a couple of months.

We are pleased to report that Dr. Truluck called this morning from his new home in Greenville, South Carolina.  He is well, has a new cell phone number, and a new address.  His Web site has been down because of a complication with the people who had been hosting (and paying for) the Web site.  Dr. Truluck's son is in the process of getting the Web site back up and running.  We will notify you in these pages when it is back up.

Hearing again from Dr. Truluck after a bit of a hiatus, we thought it would be useful to remind you of his excellent book.  Have you read "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" and do you have it in your library?  Does your local church library have a copy?  Your local public library?  Your college, university, or high school library?  Do you local LGBT organizations have copies?  If the answer to any of these questions is No, wouldn't you like to provide copies for them?

Buy copies of "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" on line at  http://www.chirhopress.com/products/product_details/BookRevStepsToRecovery.html

"Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" by Dr. Rembert Truluck is remarkable for many reasons.  From a publishing standpoint, it is our largest book to date with over 550 pages.  And it is the fastest selling and most popular book Chi Rho Press has ever produced.

The reasons for the popularity of "Steps" are clear.

Dr. Truluck speaks the language of ordinary people of faith, his book is written in plain language that all can understand, and concentrates on the basics, God's creation, love, and redemption of ALL humanity.

He has identified an important and lethal trend in the religious community, the tendency to be legalistic and judgmental and to use the faith and the Bible as a weapon to hurt people rather than a source of healing and love.

Truluck concentrates on the Good News of the Bible, Good News that is for everyone, not just heterosexual white men.  Too often LGBT commentators concentrate on defending their position that the Bible doesn't really say anything bad about homosexuality.  This is true, and Dr. Truluck does devote four chapters to the pitifully few verses that have been used to condemn LGBT people.  He effectively counters those who insist that the Bible condemns Gay people.

But most of "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" doesn't dwell on a rebuttal to those who use the Bible to attack LGBT people, but rather concentrates on those many passages of the Holy Scripture which speak words of love, understanding, tolerance, and joy for God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and those who love them.  Dr. Truluck proves that the Bible is our friend!

Lastly, Dr. Truluck offers a 12 Step program to counteract a history of Bible abuse in effective and joyful ways.  The 12 Steps, plus a concluding thirteenth step, lead people through the pain inflicted on us by misunderstanding of the Bible and legalistic, judgmental religion, and on into the peace of God's love and acceptance.  "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" leads people from hate to love, from fear to confidence, and from pain to joy.  It is a remarkable journey!

4.  Step Number 1: Admit You Have Been Hurt by Religion

Step Number 1 in the "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse," but the Rev. Dr. Rembert Truluck, is to Admit You Have Been Hurt by Religion.

Here is the introductory material from chapter 6 of "Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse," in which Dr. Truluck outlines the first step needed to recover from Bible abuse, admitting you have been hurt by religion.

Preparatory Bible Reading:  Read Matthew 23:1-15, 24-28, and 33 to see how Jesus viewed religious abuse.

Jesus came to set people free from sick and abusive religion.

For many people, this step is the hardest one.  Religious abuse begins early in life and often is caused by parents, pastors, and teachers.  We accept abuse as acceptable or deserved.  Abuse is not acceptable and is not deserved.  Many people see rejecting their childhood religion as being like rejecting their own grandmother.  Our deep emotional ties with our childhood make it very difficult for us to be objective about the way in which religion was used to control and sometimes abuse us.

Abuse is the use of power by the strong to control and oppress the weak.

What is sick and abusive religion?  Sick and abusive religion is the judgmental legalism that Jesus came to destroy and to replace with himself.  People can become addicted to abusive religion.

Have you ever been abused by religion?  What is your earliest memory of religious ideas or religious experience?  How would you describe the religion of your parents when you were a child?  Can you recall any particular time when religion was used to punish or control you?  How has religion affected your self-esteem?  Answering some of these questions may be disturbing to you but may also help you to gain insight into why it is so difficult for you to face the damage that abusive religion has done to you.

Discussing and sharing these questions with others like yourself in a small group can be an enlightening and learning time of growth for you.  You will discover how others have gone through many of the same problems and hurts regarding religion just as you have.

Jesus said, "All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that you might have life and have life abundantly" (John 10:10).  "Thieves and robbers" are words that Jesus used for abusive religious leaders.

The four Bible lessons in the first step are Jesus came to replace sick religion; Jesus faced religious bigots, Escape from idolatry, and Keep your eyes on the prize.

5.  "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 "Christ in Her" from the Easter section of "Christian with a Twist."

Please read Mark 16:1-2

Where do we find Christ?  Certainly not in a tomb.  Most Christians take the story of Jesus' physical resurrection literally, and those of us who do not need to be a bit careful how we express ourselves.  No matter what the actual events looked like long, long ago; Jesus is very much alive for us.  But where do we find him?

I think we often catch glimpses of Jesus when one person serves another out of love.  Sometimes we see Jesus in the face of the server and sometimes in the gratitude of the one served.  In fact, allowing another to serve you is often a way of serving them.

Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Jesus in this gospel version of the story went to serve Jesus one last time.  He was beyond need of that particular service, but they were not beyond the need to serve him.  And they were not beyond the reach of his love for them.

In another story about Mary and Martha, two sisters and friends of Jesus, it was Mary who knew that the best way to serve Jesus was to sit and listen to him.  Martha, more practical and more like most of us, measured her own service in work accomplished.  Jesus told her that her sister had chosen the better part.

Some say it was that same Mary who anointed Jesus' feet and dried them with her hair in John's Gospel.  That is about as loving and personal as service can get.  Some of those gathered around just did not get it and even complained that the expensive ointment could have been sold and the money given to the poor.  There is no way to put a price tag on service when Christ is found in it.

On the evening of the Last Supper Jesus insisted on washing the feet of his disciples.  In a way this is the beginning of the course of events that transformed the person of Jesus into Christ for us.  Again, some did not get it and wanted to wash his feet instead, or to take the gesture to a meaningless extreme of a total bathing.

But Jesus taught us that divinity dwells in the ultimate servant, not he or she who demands service valued in gold or dollars.  We can do a lot of good with our money and our resources, but it is when we give of ourselves that Christ is revealed.  Christ was in each of the women named Mary in his story, and each of them sought Jesus by giving of themselves.  It is in giving ourselves away that we find the resurrected life that Jesus promised.

6.  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.

*****

Mon., May 15, St. Michael Garicoits.  Interior lives:  St. Michael made special retreats based on the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, which strengthened his desire to found the Society of Priests. He taught that it was important to be deaf to the temptation to sacrifice the religious life and personal sanctification to the apostolate; he likened it to gathering flowers from a tree to form a bouquet and afterwards looking for fruit on the barren branches.

Tues., May 16, St. John of Nepomuk (Patron saint: discretion).  Indiscretion: St. John teaches us that what we hear in confidence must stay in confidence.  He was martyred for refusing to break the seal of confession in Czechoslovakia when the king ordered him to reveal what his wife had confessed.

Wed., May 17, St. Paschal Baylon.  Devotion to the blessed sacrament:  St. Paschal believed that we should never let a day pass without visiting Jesus in the sacrament.  If we are not able to take the sacrament, then we are to turn our minds and thoughts to Jesus at least once daily.

Thurs., May 18, St. Felix of Cantalice.  Being thankful:  St. Felix always greeted people with the words Deo Gratias; he taught all the children he came into contact with to repeat the words and when they saw him, they would call it out.  "I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good.  I will praise you in the presence of your saints" (Psalm 52:9).

Fri., May 19, St. Peter Celestine (Patron saint: bookbinders).  Solitude with God:  "To speak heart to heart with God you must love to be with God alone; they who take pleasure in the society of the great will never hear God's voice," St. Celestine.

Sat., May 20, St. Bernardine of Siena.  Devotion to the holy name:  Bernardine was a youth when he undertook the care of an old woman relation of his, who was destitute, bedridden, blind, and could hardly speak except to utter the holy name.  He watched over her until her death.  To understand the mysteries of Jesus, we too must become families with his friends, the poor, the suffering, and the sick.

Sun., May 21, St. Andrew Bobola.  Courage in suffering:  Always be ready, like a good and faithful servant of Christ, to bear bravely the cross of our Lord, who was crucified for love of you.

Mon., May 22, St. Dunstan (Patron saint: goldsmiths and jewelers).  Reprimand wrongs:  St. Dunstan's open opposition to vice brought him banishment and loss, but his fearless rebukes of scandal on his return proved his disregard of the things around him and that he was ready again to suffer for Christ.  We must use every opportunity available to us to set the correct example of Christian life as well as check and correct our neighbors' transgressions.

Tues., May 23, St. Aldhelm.  Use of your talents:  The gifts of God need to be consecrated to God's service, they will then not only promote our own sanctification but also that of others.  St. Aldhelm was perhaps the most learned and accomplished man of his time in England, yet he was a saint, and the spiritual father of many holy men and women.

Wed., May 24, St. Theodotus of Ancyra.  Forbearance and mercy:  Resolve yourself to benefit others by forbearance, charity, and strictness with yourself.  You are truly merciful when you seek to supply the spiritual necessities of your friends and neighbors.  "Blessed," Christ says, "are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."

Thurs., May 25, St. Gregory VII.  Loyalty to God's realm:  "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a realm that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.  It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever" (Daniel 2:44).

Diversity Date: Ascension Day

Fri., May 26, St. Philip Neri.  Joy:  St. Philip wanted all children to serve God, like the first Christians, in gladness of heart.  He said this was the true spirit of son-ship and that it expanded the soul giving it liberty and perfection in action, power over temptation, and fuller aid to perseverance.  "I will have no scrupulosity and no melancholy in my house," St. Philip Neri.

Sat., May 27, St. Bede.  Search for God's wisdom:  The more we are at one with ourselves, at peace and free of complications, so much more and deeper are things that we are able to understand because we receive the light of understanding from above.

Sun., May 28, St. Augustine of Canterbury.  Obedience:  The work of an apostle, or of any Christian for that matter, is the work of the right hand of God.  God often chooses weak people for the mightiest purposes.  The most pure sign of lasting success in missionary work is obedience to superiors and diffidence about oneself.

Mon., May 29, St. Mary Magdalen dei Pazzi.  Divine charity:  Charity is the presence of God in the soul, transforming it into a new creature.  Mary Magdalen called the day of holy communion the day of love.  The charity that burned in her heart and led her to choose the Carmelites was the fact that they received the Sacrament of Holy Communion daily.  "I love people because Jesus loves them, and I would bear anything to comfort them, for God cannot rest in a heart that is ill at ease," St. Mary Magdalen.

Tues., May 30, St. Joan of Arc (Patron saint: rape victims).  God does speak to us:  If we take the time to listen, we can hear God's voice.  St. Joan is a prime example of the types of people that God chooses for great things.  She was an illiterate farm girl, unschooled and ill prepared for what God had in mind for her, yet she heard God's voice and allowed God to lead her.

Wed., May 31, St. Angela Merici.  Waiting for God:  We want for much but to get it accomplished, that is for God.  "They who, when they have knocked, are angry because they are not forthwith heard, are not humble petitioners but imperious demanders.  However long God may leave you waiting, wait patiently for the Lord's own time," St. Peter Chrysologus.

Thurs., June 1, St. Justin (Patron saint: lecturers).  The certainty of faith:  We all receive the gift of faith with little or no effort of our own.  We need to learn how to value it from those who reached it after a long search.  Let us fear, like St. Justin did, the account we shall have to render for God's gift.  "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that God is able to guard what I have entrusted to God for that day" (2 Timothy 1:12).

Diversity Date: Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.  (Please see article number 2 in this edition of the Chi Rho Connection for alternative scripture readings for the four Sundays of June, Pride-Tide.)

Fri., June 2, St. Mary of the Incarnation.  Doing penance:  Sickness, humiliation and prosecution from every quarter, endless personal sufferings and crosses of all sorts abound in the life of St. Mary.  They all make a great testimony to the spirit that is totally surrendered to the will of God.  "Unless you do penance, you will all perish" (Luke 13:3).

Sat., June 3, Holy Martyrs of Uganda.  The narrow gate:  Central Africa in the 1800's was a place where God's name had never been spoken and the evil one ruled supreme by means of slavery, sorcery, and cannibalism.  These missionaries to Uganda were all martyred for their faith.  "Strive to enter by the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able" (Luke 13:24).

7.  Adam's Last Word

I just realized that we recently passed a milestone of sorts.  The seventh anniversary of the Chi Rho Connection!  The first edition of the Chi Rho Connection, this free twice monthly electronic newsletter, was published on May 1, 1999.  Happy Anniversary to the Chi Rho Connection!  I hope you continue to be blessed by these e-newsletters.  Let us know what you think!

I was delighted to finally hear from Rembert Truluck this morning at my secular job.  I am glad to be able to report that he is well and settled into his new home in Greenville, SC.  He is in a retirement facility available to people receiving Social Security, virtually his only source of income.  Please keep Rembert in your thoughts and prayers.  I know he would be grateful if you would purchase copies of his book for your own library first, and also to give to your church, public library, school, and LGBT organizations.  I thank God for the ministry of Rembert Truluck over the years both through his Web site and his book which we are honored and privileged to have published.

*****

I really encourage you all to become Guardian Angels of Chi Rho Press.  This will help us a lot as we prepare our next books for publication.  Just $150 for a year will make you an important participant in this ministry.  Thank you!

*****

I hope you are blessed by the alternative readings for the month of June in article 2 above, historically in MCC the month we call Pride-Tide.  We are blessed by the Rev. Gordon McCoy, who contributed these alternative readings to our Liturgical Calendar this year.
