You Can Visit the Past but You

Can’t Live There Anymore

I have a very wise friend with whom

I engage in ―holy conversation‖ who

often uses the term, ―reality

check.‖ She will not allow me the

luxury of living in the past. She forc-

es me to engage the world that ―is,‖

not the world that is ―gone with the

wind.‖ Dr. Nido Qubein, who has

led High Point University from the

academic world of mediocrity to the

summit of excellence, reminds us

trustees and the returning alumni,

―You can visit the past, but you can-

not live there anymore.‖

Perhaps my imagination is absurd,

but I think not, for I see, hear, and

read of so many brilliant leaders of

our present message, mission, and

method who are living with old par-

adigms. Their response (which is

typical) to the changes in our culture

is to try harder and to circle the

wagons, going into defense mode,

even to the point of developing an

―Alamo complex.‖ Let us remem-

ber that all the men in the Alamo

became dead heroes—heroes, yes,

but dead! We United Methodists are

not called to a ―last stand‖ of our

traditions until the surrounding cul-

ture overwhelms us. We are called

to be Jesus people in this time and

in our present place.

Will Rogers was right: ―Things ain‘t

like they used to be and never wuz.‖

The Golden Age That Wasn’t

so Golden

When do you think was the ―golden

age‖ of Methodism or the EUB

Church? If you look at any pictures

of almost any congregation in the

days following World War II you

generally will see many more people

than are attending that same church

today. If attendance were the mis-

sion, those were the golden years.

However, the only voice of social

justice was an annual commitment

card to abstain from the use of alco-

holic beverages for the ensuing year

and to echo the United Nation man-

tras about world peace and ―one

world order‖ or the cold war invec-

tive against ―godless com-

munism.‖ Very little was said about

racism until ―Brown vs. the Board of

Education‖ came before the Su-

preme Court in 1954. The word

―feminism‖ was barely in the

Wesleyan Wisdom: Will We Pay the Price of a Reality Check? By Donald W. Haynes, UMR Columnist

Dr. Donald Haynes is a long time columnist for the now ‗online only‘ United Methodist Reporter. Since many of

you won‘t see this column, I have chosen to reprint it here. Dr. Haynes gives a sobering, but accurate picture of

the church … but I am convinced that God is using this time in our lives to bring us back to the core of our

faith! How exciting is that! Pray as you read … and let the Holy Spirit move you into God‘s presence with

thanksgiving! Pastor Cindy

Page 2 Wesleyan Wisdom cont‘d

I shouldn't be, but I am always amazed

by how our God works. I am amazed

that He would use someone like me.

Someone so full of imperfections. Some-

one who has bumps and bruises from

being banged up by this world we live in.

And because of your generous dona-

tions, God can use me to reach out to

this hurting community.

Because of my vacation and helping at

Annual Conference, I was only in the

office a day and a half over a ten day

span. When I came back on Thursday, I

spent my entire day assisting people with

their needs.

On this day, I kept thinking of 2 Corin-

thians 1:3,4, ―Praise be to the God and

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Fa-

ther of compassion and the God of all

comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our

troubles, so that we can comfort those

in any trouble with the comfort we our-

selves receive from God. ―

There was a lady who needed help with

her water bill. Her parents died on Val-

entine‘s Day. They were in a car acci-

dent. Her sister was driving and injured

in the accident. Because she needed to

go to Mexico to bury her parents and

take care of her sister, she had to leave

her job here. She had to stay two

months, and this left her 17 year-old

daughter with her ex-husband.

Every time she talked about her parents,

she would tear up. Mentioning she had

to leave her daughter caused her to well

up more. While praying with her before

she left, she just cried and cried. Before

leaving, she hugged me tightly. Knowing

the pain of losing both parents, and for-

tunately, not on the same day, I was able

to show her comfort, because God

showed me the comfort during those

times of loss and still shows me comfort

as those heart pains never go away com-

pletely.

I know you pray for this ministry, and

the prayers are very needed. However, I

will be listing the first names of those

we help on the prayer list in the bulletin,

so we can pray for these people by

name.

With our open hearts, open doors, and

open minds, we can comfort. Is there

an opportunity in your life to take the

comfort God has given you for those

bumps and bruises you have endured in

this life, and pass that comfort along to

someone who needs it?

During the month of June with your

generous donations and Salvation Army

funds, we were able to help 12 families

with utilities, four families with rent, one

family with a gas card, one family with a

prescription, one family with diapers,

and a man with steel-toed shoes to

work.

developed enough message and muscle

to have every seminary place a profes-

sor of ―Town and Country Work‖ on

its faculty, but all of them were rural

sociologists, not mentors on bringing

people to Jesus Christ!

1950s

With incredible denominational loyalty,

the rural areas were a pipeline to the

burgeoning suburbs. By the late 1950‘s,

we were experiencing what Gibson

Winters of Garrett Evangelical Biblical

Institute called the ―suburban captivity

of the church.‖ Young preachers used

their rural parishes as stepping stones

to growing suburbs and ―First Church:

Jerusalem.‖

We sold our soul to the culture. The

prophecy Richard Niebuhr made in the

1930‘s came true by the 1950‘s—culture

had so effectively contextualized Christ

that many of our Sunday School and pul-

Benevolent Blessings by Heather McPhearson

dictionary — not in common use,

and certainly not in the pulpit.

Sunday School literature taught children

a surreal view of what it meant to follow

Jesus—―just be a good boy or good

girl.‖ The cross and the atonement were

excised from all children‘s litera-

ture. Jesus was portrayed as ―gentle

Jesus, meek and mild.‖ Billboards across

the land promised that ―the family that

prays together stays together.‖ We nev-

er articulated the possibility of child mo-

lestation or marital abuse. Even Easter

sermons talked about ―immorality,‖ not

the resurrection of Christ.

Until 1964, church growth was biologi-

cal. It stopped almost precisely simulta-

neously with the advent of the birth

control pill. One dimension of this

over-looked reality was the decline of

the rural church. The ―Town and Coun-

try Movement‖ launched in the 1940‘s

pit message sounded like what Diana

Butler Bass calls ―the Rotary Club at

prayer.‖ Thousands of rural churches

were closed, creating a vacuum of minis-

try that was filled by fundamentalist

churches whose positive message was,

―Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and

you will be saved‖ and whose negative

message was, ―you are a passenger on a

hell bound train.‖ Their message

touched the same primordial need that

―country music‖ touched—the pathos of

sin. Unlike the ―somebody done some-

body wrong‖ songs, the gospel of the

foot-stomping, arm-waving evangelist

was, ―Wilt thou be saved? Then why not

tonight?‖ It struck a responsive

chord. In the communities and villages

we abandoned, they built a new religious

ethos.

Just like the proverbial ―frog in the ket-

tle,‖ our vital breath was slowly

dying. We were aided and abetted in

our denial by two secular factors:

As medical science gave us a steady

increase of life expectancy pharma-

ceutical houses developed a steady

stream of ―wonder drugs,‖ we

found ourselves sitting in the pew

and tithing to the budget at an age

when our parents and grandparents

had been either in rocking chairs or

their graves. The dependable nu-

cleus of congregations in every de-

mographic situation became in-

creasingly older. Fewer children

were being born and fewer young

adults were remaining in either the

EUB or Methodist Churches.

The free enterprise democratic

capitalism created enormous new

wealth. People of ordinary circum-

stances began a lifestyle of affluence

that only the wealthy had known in

previous generations. Appreciated

stocks and rising real estate values

enabled painless philanthropy. An

annual ―stewardship campaign‖ be-

came the norm, with people pledg-

ing to support the church during

the ensuing year. Slowly lay ministry

lessened and paid staff ministry in-

creased. Capital campaigns made

possible the erection of aesthetical-

ly impressive sanctuaries. As Sunday

School began to ebb, churches

were sold the ―field of dreams‖ phi-

losophy that a ―Family Life Center‖

would be the panacea that would

bring back the young people. How-

ever, rather then bring families to

the church, these gymnasiums (for

that is what they really were) re-

quired more custodial staff, higher

insurance rates and larger utility

bills, and only rarely brought more

people into the church.

1960s

As the 1960‘s saw violent socio-

economic unrest and change, the Meth-

odists and Evangelical United Brethren

were locked into an obsession with the

evils of denominationalism. The high-

est priority between 1904-1939 was

―unification‖–the merger of

three branches of Methodism. By the

late 1950‘s the highest priority was the

dual track of abolishing the racist Cen-

tral Jurisdiction and merging The Meth-

odist Church and the Evangelical United

Brethren Church. Both accomplish-

ments were applauded as significant

steps toward fulfilling Jesus‘ prayer in

John 17 ― that they may all be one.‖

However, neither merger resulted in

more disciples of Jesus Christ. Indeed

the percentage of African American

members has decreased since the mer-

ger of 1968 and we have lost the nu-

merical equivalent of the EUB

Church. In many towns where

―German Methodism‖ flourished, there

would be an EUB church and a Method-

ist Church on the same city street or

rural community. In the wake of the

merger hundreds, if not thousands,

of those former EUB churches have

closed or atrophied to very small mem-

berships. Merger was not a ―bad

thing,‖ but if in delineating the mission

of the church ―the main thing is to keep

the main thing the main thing,‖ we

were inordinately infatuated with what

Amos the prophet and Peter Berger the

social analyst called ―the noise of sol-

emn assemblies.‖

A Return to the Mission?

Gradually, we developed an apropos

wording for the Book of Discipline:

―The mission of the local church is to

make disciples of Jesus Christ and to

transform the world.‖ Aha! So the

main thing is to make disciples who, in

turn, become the salt of the earth, the

light of the world, and the leaven in the

loaf of secular culture! But here‘s the

―rub.‖ We have not made disciples to

offset those who have left our churches

―for love of this present culture,‖ or for

other faith communions, or by incapaci-

tation and death. Our professions of

faith are an embarrassing statis-

tic. Confirmation is almost totally an

educational experience of short dura-

tion and infrequent life-change. Adult

conversions come mostly through extra

-parish experiences like ―Walk to Em-

maus‖ or non-UMC settings like Bible

Study Fellowship or an evangelistic cru-

sade(also a fading paradigm). Some stu-

dent conversions are through Wesley

Foundation chapters, but the prepon-

derance come through para-Christian

groups like Campus Crusade for Christ,

Young Life, Intervarsity Fellowship, Fel-

lowship of Christian Athletes, etc.

Methodism was born on a university

campus—Oxford. Why can we not

connect with the college ethos to-

day? Most of our converts in the

19th century were among ―the last, the

least, and the lost.‖ Can we do it again,

and if not, why? Have we become a

people of affluence who are socio-

economically possessed rather than

Jesus centered? It‘s time for reality

check.

Redeeming the Past for a Future

of Following Jesus

As I continue my column in the newly

re-

vised www.unitedmethodistreporter.co

m, I will be looking at how we can re-

spond creatively to redeem and sacri-

fice some our old paradigms for God‘s

new work today. I want to consider the

―chemistry of conversion‖ as we con-

sider a new vision for where God is

leading us.

Len Sweet calls us to see the church‘s

mission and the pulpit‘s message as

―following Jesus‖ rather than joining the

church. With his usual wise insight, he

writes, ―To follow Jesus does not mean

to have all the answers…that you have

it all together personally.. that suddenly

all the shades go up and the shadows of

life disappear. It just means that you

keep on moving after the One you‘ve

said ―YES‖ to.‖

May we all keep moving to follow the

great YES wherever that leads us.

The members present at the Charge Conference on June 9 heard several members speak up

about not forgiving the loan of approximately $32,000. Several said we need to pay back what

we borrowed and by doing so, we would increase our interest dollars for the Trustees and

Church Council.

I think as Christians, God would expect us to pay back what we owe. The increase in interest

will not increase unless we step to the plate to show our support to how we voted. The

bank is not willing to pay interest on principle they are not holding.

If you would like to fill out a pledge card for this giving, stop in the office or if you want to

make a one-time payment, you could send it to the office marked Endowment Loan.

As of Friday, June 21, we have received money from four members amounting to $2700.00.
