The Rector's Corner
Last week I mentioned a point that was presented many years ago at a conference promoting youth ministry. Very simply, it was an idea expressed by one of the speakers: that young people copy faith from adults they love and respect. This week, let's consider the other side of that coin. As I mentioned last Sunday, the VanBuskirks were away at Camp Brookwood in Carleton County (near Florenceville) for Senior Teen Camp (15-17 year olds) from July 26-31. My job was to be the Chaplain -- to lead the Morning and Evening Services (with a talk in the evening), as well as teach two sessions of Christian Education each morning. (The afternoons, although 'free', were spent visiting around the camp and tackling some maintenance work.) It was an intense week with very long days, but it was also wonderful, one that our family will cherish simply because we were there together.
In any case, as part of the afternoon program on two occasions, I was invited to participate in a "Question and Answer Period". The youth tossed their written questions into a basket and the Assistant Director and I read them out loud and did our best to respond to them. Well, what incredible questions! Each one was posed with an earnest desire to know what is good and right and true and holy. And each one came from a heart that is seeking the Lord's will in difficult situations. How inspiring! Suddenly I was reminded that, although young people copy the faith of adults, adults have a great deal to learn from young people. Through their honesty and zeal, we can all be refreshed and encouraged, especially as our physical energy wanes and the level of our scepticism increases.
Through these young people, I am reminded of Jesus' words written by St. Matthew: "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven". (18.3) May our Blessed Lord help us to recapture and to be renewed in this simple, child-like faith -- so that through us others may be drawn to Him Who is the Source and End of all our happiness.
For the record, here are some of the questions from 'Question and Answer Period':
Ø Is incest sin? Will God hate me?
Ø If you’re on meds for depression (suicide), do you believe God meant for someone to be on them?
Ø Do you think that we will be judged for choices we make in our dreams? Does this concept apply to video games?
Ø If I want to get more self-control, how should I do it? Should I put myself I situations to make my self-control stronger, or stay away from places where I would be in those situations completely?
Ø This year, I experienced something that was really horrible. Did God mean to hurt me?
Ø The friends that I have at school aren’t really religious…Most of the time they are saying inappropriate jokes. I’ve also learned about stuff that they have done/ or still do, and there are things that I believe they should not do. I think that now, I can honestly say that I’ve ‘outgrown’ these friends, because I’m not as happy as I used to be a few years ago. So this year I want to make new friends with similar beliefs. Are my reasons to make new friends justified?
Ø Where do rainbows come from?
Ø How do you deal with losing someone, like your father, to cancer?
Ø How do I get images out of my head?
Ø I’ve never been comfortable with my body, but I’ve been working on it, and talking it out with God for the past year. It’s gotten a lot better but it can never seem to fully leave my thoughts. Is there a way to fix this, or a certain thing to pray?
We give thanks for the safe arrival of Chanelle Noelle LeBlanc, the daughter of Danny and Nancy and the grand-daughter of Noel and Shirley Eustace…and the little sister of Danielle. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Please pray for Mike and Pam Ogburn as they prepare to move to Ontario, (near Belleville) from their home in Riverview on Friday August 14th. We give thanks to God for our fellowship and life together at St. George’s; and there is great consolation knowing that although we shall be physically separated, we shall remain united as brothers and sisters in Christ by the grace of God the Holy Spirit. As the post-Communion prayer says, “We are living members of his mystical body, which is the blessed company of all faithful people.”(p. 85) God bless you Mike and Pam, and thank you for all that you have done to support the Lord’s work at St. George’s. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be always with you.
