Client and driver sCheduler Aubrey Reeves has been a vital part of Can-terbury’s Meals on Wheels ministry for many years, performing the task of coordinating clients and scheduling drivers. Now he would like to pass on this work to another dedicated volunteer. If you are interested in knowing more about what the work entails, please talk to Janice McCollum.

Canterbury Tales

Welcome Back everyone!Welcome back, students and everyone who has been somewhere else for the summer, for a week, or for years. And if you’ve been here all summer, Canterbury welcomes you! As Father Marc loves to say on Sunday mornings, and at almost every opportunity, “You are welcome here...this is God’s house...!”

opporTUniTiES To SErvE in MEALS on whEELS

Two opportunities to serve are open in the Meals on Wheels ministry because volunteers who have given many years of service are stepping down. Please think about how you want to be involved at Canterbury over time and con-sider taking up one of these ministries. --ed.

a new Cook team on the horizonAfter many years of hard work and service the Ficken Cook Team is retiring, which means there is an opening for a new Meals on Wheels Cook Team beginning October 24. So what is a Cook Team? A Cook Team is a group of 4-6 people (with one person des-ignated a captain), who prepares meals for the Fourth Sunday Meals on Wheels Ministry. Cook Teams are responsible for planning the menu, purchasing the supplies (the cost of which is covered by the church), and preparing and boxing the meals on Sunday. Each Cook Team cooks three times a year.

If the thought of planning a meal for 160 people and working in the fancy kitchen worries you, don’t let that stop you from volunteering. Members of the other Cook Teams are ready and willing to help you get started and learn your way around the kitchen. So, if you are interested in starting a Cook Team, please contact Kelley Hudlow, akhudlow13@gmail.com, or call the chapel of-fice, 345-9590.

A group from Canterbury made the annual pilgrimage to Hayneville on August 14 to the site where Jonathan Daniels was shot and killed (see our August newsletter). Following are some of their experiences of that day. Thanks to Kelley Hudlow for the photos.

Drew BriSlin:Having been born and raised in Selma, I was well aware of the struggles experi-enced in during the civil rights move-ment and the divisions that in some places still exist today. However, I ex-perienced something else on Saturday. I experienced people coming together to celebrate someone’s life and to remember his death. To see the diverse group of people, who for the most part were from Alabama, in the courtroom and to think how far we have come as a society in a short time was kind of moving. I know we still have a long way to go but with people like Jonathan Daniels to lead the way for us I believe we can make it. Being nice to someone is not that difficult to do and Jesus commanded us to “love one another as we love ourselves.”

ro ForD:This year as we met for the annual pilgrimage, it was on the 45th anniversary of his death. We met in the sweltering heat of the upstairs courtroom in that very same Lowndes County Courthouse where his murderer was set free by an all-white jury, one of whom was on the vestry in a nearby Episcopal congregation. We had a Eucharist service dedicated to his honor and all the martyrs of the Civil Rights Movement. We were black and white together, singing hymns and spirituals, exchanging the peace, and sharing the chalice. This would have been unimaginable forty-five years ago in that same room. It is difficult to explain how electrify-ing it is to feel the Spirit in that room and at the end to experience the sanctity of that space made holy by what has been shared there.

This month I want to thank George and Kristen Frangoulis for their hard work and dedication to the Gallery at Canterbury. They have done a wonderful job of provid-ing a venue for local artists here, which I consider to be an important part of our outreach ministry. The gallery is winding up its season with the current showing and will resume in December. Speaking of outreach programs, I also want to make a special request for sup-port for the Meals on Wheels program. What a wonderful ministry lead by dedicat-ed teams of Canterbury parishioners. This program is in critical need of monetary donations. Please seriously consider helping out with any amount. It would be so greatly appreciated! You can make a check to Canterbury Chapel with “Meals on Wheels” written on the bottom left of your check. Happy September!!!

Can we talk?

I want to share with you some of the many things going on at Canterbury starting in September.

Tuesdays at 12:30 several of us have started celebrating Holy Eucharist in the chapel. The time and place seem to work well, and we are having a good time. pausing in the middle of the day to give thanksgiving to God (“eucharist” means “thanksgiving”) refreshes us. Eating and drinking the sacred, earthy meal with fellow followers of Christ draws us closer to each other and to the One we follow. We circle around the altar, keeping the sacrament at the cen-ter of us for that moment—and to solidify Christ’s presence at the center of our lives every day. We have some more room, so join us as often as you can.

Speaking of eating together, Canterbury returns to hosting a student lunch this month! Every Wednesday at 12:15 both undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and other UA sympathizers can come and be fed here for free. Simple as that. Show up and be fed. In this way, we remember that hospitality is at the heart of every ministry of every Christian com-munity, or ought to be.

Children’s Sunday School begins the Sunday after labor Day (Sun. the 12th). Canterbury has a growing crop of little folks, so we are eager to serve them in this way. It’s good to remember, too, that they show us adults the very face of Christ we hope to show them. Thanks, kids! Just being around y’all can help us be more aware of the love of God, of the presence of God moving through Canterbury.

Some of the many things going on! There is more, much more going on and even more yet to be accomplished. What do you love to do? Have you considered sharing your gifts with us here at Canterbury? I would love to talk with you—yes, you— about it.

peace in Christ,

dear Canterbury,

Do yoU wAnT To bE An ACoLyTE?

Acolytes are an important part of our worship at Canterbury Chapel. They lead the processional and help serve at the altar. As an acolyte, you would become part of a ministry that dates back to the time of Samuel and Elisha in the Old Testament. There will be an Acolyte training session on Sunday, September 19th, following the 10:30 a.m. service. If you are interested in becoming an Acolyte, please attend this training. If you have any questions please contact Kelley Hudlow, akhudlow13@gmail.com.

To help with Canterbury’s liturgical needs, there is a Flower Fund and a Music Fund to which you can contribute money. For more info about giving to any of Canterbury’s specific funds such as the Deacon’s Deli, Meals on Wheels, EYC, rector’s Discretionary Fund, or the Art Gallery, please contact the Canterbury office: 345-9590. Thanks to Matthew Copeland for manning the booth out in the hot sun for Get On Board Day at the UA! Mary ruth pruitt is now a freshman at Emory and Henry College in Emory, Virginia. Congratulations, Mary ruth!

ThAnK yoU, CAring CongrEgATion The Canterburians who serve Caring Days Adult Day Care Center in various capacities - Cindy Roff, Rufus Lewis and Jane Joslin - send sincere thanks to all who helped make Canterbury’s recent fund raisers - the art gallery reception and the vegetarian lasagna dinner - big successes. When the final check is written, Canterbury Chapel will have contributed $2,500 to the Caring Days Capital Campaign! We wish to recognize a few of the many who helped with these efforts: Margaret Cooper, without her there may have been no lasagna or peach cobbler; Ham Bagby, who provided music for each fundraiser; Linda Chambers, who collected monies for art works, dinners and donations; and Lois Lewis, who furnished flowers and assisted wherever she was needed. We are fortunate at Canterbury to have wonderful friends who assist when needed. Thanks to each of you.

ThE gALLEry AT CAnTErbUryWhat’s Missing at Canterbury? The walls of the gallery stare empty, blank, a “tabula rasa.” Out with the art, in with the games, a different kind of excitement. For the next few months of the football season, no artwork will be hung in the Gallery.

The Gallery at Canterbury in the past two years has evolved into a ministry, a form of outreach. Individual local artists and causes have been featured, bringing the parish and community together in an enriching experience that celebrates beauty in many forms of expression. Beauty, of course, glows as a gift from God. We at Canterbury have given the artists a place to shine, and the artists have also given back to Canterbury with generous monetary donations. Many guests have left the artists’ receptions with an interest in the uniqueness and diversity of our parish.

During the past year, from December 2009 to August 2010, the Gallery hosted nine shows and receptions, and celebrated a variety of artists and visual media. Thank you Canterbury for your patronage and encouragement. Father Marc, thank you for your

support and love of all of the arts. Thank you, George Frangoulis, the man with the eye for the hanging and his drill and hammer, and his daily encouragement. Also, many thanks to Jane Watkins, Genevieve Turkett and Ham Bagby. The Gallery at Canterbury belongs to us all. let me know if you are an artist, or know of an artist to be exhibited. Our mission is to celebrate both the stars and the rising stars, to invite and expose University students to art. Come and join the party. See you in December!

STeFFen GUenzel:The drive to Hayneville seemed to take us into another world. Darkgreen kudzu cathedrals lined the roads, interrupted by farms, some of them still operating, whereas others were overgrown with bushes a nd weeds. Gathering in the Courthouse Square, it became apparent to me that we were mostly outsiders, coming into town once a year with banners and posters of martyrs in our hands and hymns on our lips. When marching to the jail and the cash store

where Jonathan Myrick Daniels gave his life for Ruby Sales, I just felt a little bit the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement; however, hi-tech cameras, smartphones, and modern cars with air-con-ditioning allowed us to escape at any point. When hearing the witness report of the killing on the steps of what is now an insurance company, I remembered some of the things I know about the civil rights struggle. What came to my mind was a short story, written by James Baldwin, called “Going to Meet the Man.” This story signifies the clash of the unspeakable with the ordinary day-to-day activities and probably best illustrates some of my uneasy feelings during the pilgrimage. Kelley hUDlow:As we drove South we disappeared into the deep green of an Alabama

country summer. Entering into the town of Hayneville was like passing through a veil to another place. As we gathered, you could feel that Jonathan Daniels and the martyrs of Alabama, and all the saints and martyrs of the Church gathered with us. They joined us as we walked to the Jail where Daniels was held. They were there at the Store where Daniels was killed. As I knelt to touch the concrete where Daniels died, I could feel the presence of Daniels and all the Communion of Saints. And as powerful as that moment was, my experience in the courtroom was more so. It was packed. It was hot. And the room that had once been the site of such injustice had been transformed. The judge’s bench was an altar, and the room was filled with singing. At the end of the Prayers of the People, the names of the Alabama Martyrs were read. As each name was called, a voice would answer “Present,” and their picture was placed at the front of the courtroom. The Communion of Saints had come to Hayneville, and the martyrs were indeed present with us. As the names were called, Fannie Davis, a Lowndes County resident, sang a song so filled with passion and desire and sorrow: “...I’ll go, I’ll go. If the Lord needs somebody, here am I, send me. I’ll, I’ll go. I’ll go. I’ll go.”

Tyler riChArDS:It was after we had visited the jail and the site of Jonathan’s death when the most profound thing occurred to me. While i was walking along, my focus on myself faded into an awareness of what was going on around me. i could hear the singing at the front of the throng of pilgrims, i could see the banners from various churches blowing in the wind, but the unity that i saw demonstrated before my eyes, and the peace that seemed to saturate the area in which we were walking was so pervasive that i was completely astounded. No fighting, no conflict, just peace. So great was this peace that even the birds in the trees had stopped their singing. It was a little taste of the Kingdom on Earth. AlliSon TAylor:A pilgrimage is the perfect way to describe our trip to Hayneville -- this is definitely a journey to a sacred place. As I have had time to reflect on that day, I am simply amazed by the overwhelming amount of love that Jonathan Daniels demonstrated that hot Augustday. Although this day commemorates such a sad moment in time, the joy and hope I felt in the pilgrimage and service was great. Hayneville is a sacred place and an earthly reminder of the kind of compassion and love God shows for each of us. I am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to be a pilgrim on this journey. Anne wooDyArD:Jonathan Daniels trained to be a soldier, but was called to become a priest. At the deci-sive moment, his instincts took over. He did exactly what Jesus talked about in John 15:13, and gave his life for a friend. The jail is still a jail; the courthouse still a courthouse. The place where he died is still a place of commerce, although insurance is now sold there, instead of pop. The man who murdered him lived in town until the day hedied. I wonder if he ever comprehended the futility of his sin. Joe wooDyArD:Even after all the years have gone by, all I could think about was the hate. I could feel it at the jail, at the storefront and in the courtroom. It made me feel proud to be part of a group that responded with love and came together to honor Jonathan Daniels’ sacrifice.
