I am now in my second week of classes atSewanee continuing to work on my Doctor ofMinistry. With a wife, two young children, and a

busy church in Nashville, being back in schoolfor a few weeks is not the most convenient of exercises but I amgrateful for the opportunity to continue my formal education, and

I am always challenged by it. Sewanee is a beautiful place,especially in the summer, and I enjoy my time up here on themountain. One of the classes that I am taking this summer is called"The Theological Ethics of Stanley Hauerwas." Hauerwas is anethicist at Duke University who just retired in May. Back in 2001,Time Magazine named him the most influential theologian inAmerica, an honor that caught him by surprise. He will be inSewanee this week to give two public lectures (Wednesday andThursday at 7:00 p.m.) and to meet with our class. One ofHauerwas' most famous sayings is that, "the church does not havea social ethic, the church is a social ethic." In other words, thechurch is called to be the manifestation of the "PeaceableKingdom" in the world. We began the class by looking at "Ten

Theses" that Hauerwas formed back in the seventies to challengethe way that both the Catholic and Protestant Church understoodand did social ethics. Some of these are clearer than others andthey come from chapter five of The Hauerwas Reader. They areworth some time and reflection.

1. The social significance of the Gospel requires the recognition

of the narrative structure of Christian convictions for the life

of the church. The church is founded on the premise that thecreator God decisively calls and forms a people to serve himthrough the history of Israel and through the work of Jesus Christto bring about the redemption of the creation.

2. Every social ethic involves a narrative, whether it is

concerned with the formulation of basic principles of socialorganization and/or with concrete policy alternatives. Theform and substance of the Christian community is story formed.

3. The ability to provide an adequate account of our existence

is the primary test of the truthfulness of a social ethic. The firsttask of the church is to help Christians form a community thatlooks like their story, the story of God showing up in unlikely

places to bring about transformation and restoration.

4. Communities formed by a truthful narrative must provide

the skills to transform fate into destiny so that the unexpected,

especially as it comes in the form of strangers, can be

welcomed as a gift. From our story, we learn that we own

nothing, and whatever we have is a gift. This understanding allowsus be less attached to our stuff.

5. The primary social task of the church is to be itself - that is,

a people who have been formed by a story that provides them

with the skills for negotiating the danger of this existence,

trusting in God's promise of redemption. The church is apeople on a journey who insist on living lives that are consistentwith their conviction that God is the lord of history. They thusrefuse to resort to violence in order to secure their survival.

6. Christian social ethics can only be done from the perspecti

of those who do not seek to control national or world histo

but who are content to live "out of control." This means thChristians must find the means to make clear to both the oppressand the oppressors that the cross determines the meaning history. They should thus provide imaginative alternatives

social policy as they are released from the "necessities" of thothat would control the world in the name of security. To be outcontrol means Christians can risk trusting in gifts and not on whwe can achieve and hence must protect at all costs.

7. Christian social ethics depends on the development

leadership in the church that can trust and depend on t

diversity of gifts in the community. The authority necessary leadership in the church should derive from the willingness Christians to risk speaking the truth to and hearing the truth frothose in charge. This is the kind of community that can affordhave their leader's mistakes acknowledged without their ceasingexercise authority.

8. For the church to be, rather than have, a social ethmeans we must recapture the social significance of comm

behavior, such as kindness, friendship, and the formation

families. Trust is impossible in communities that always regathe other as a challenge and threat to their existence. One the most profound commitments of a community, therefore,

providing a context that encourages us to trust and depend on oanother.

9. In our attempt to control our society [American] Christia

have readily accepted liberalism as a social strate

appropriate to the Christian story (that is, story-le

living). Liberalism (uniquely defined by Hauerwas), in its maforms and versions, presupposes that society can be organiz

without any narrative that is commonly held to be true. We mconstantly remember that as Christians, we are a story formcommunity and that story is what defines our existence.

10. The church does not exist to provide an ethos f

democracy or any other form of social organization, but stan

as a political alternative to every nation, witnessing to the ki

of social life possible for those that have been formed by t

story of Christ. The church's first task is to help us gain a critiperspective on the stories that have captivated our vision and livBy doing so, the church may well help provide a paradigm social relations otherwise thought impossible.

I know, this might be more than you bargained for in a Sparticle. Hauerwas has never been afraid to go deep. But I will sthis the God who manifests himself in Jesus Christ calls uslive a life consistent with who we are and what we believe. Ofaith in Christ and our social ethics are intertwined.

Romans 12: 9-21

Love In Action.Marks of the True Christian.Behave Like a Christian.Christian Ethics.

These are all section titles for Romans 12:9-21 in differenttranslations of the Bible. I look at this list and I think, "Yes!Finally, a section that tells me clearly how to put love in actionand show true marks of Christian behavior and ethics!" But Iquickly realize this is a much harder task than ever imaginable!Verses 9-13 aren't exactly easy but I think with attention they areobtainable goals. And then we hit verse 14. "Bless those who

persecute you." The writer goes on to instruct us to: live inharmony with others, do not repay evil with evil, live peaceablywith all, never avenge yourself, if you find you enemy in needdo whatever is necessary to help.

I find it hard to live in this black and white world and as I

talked with the Chi Rho students on Sunday morning, I realithey find it hard too. As humans, we live in the in-between. Wlive in the gray. I believe that Paul knew all too well thhumankind lives in this gray area and his message to us is thwe would recognize that and make conscious choices. It wou

be easy for me to read this passage and quickly chalk it upsomething too hard to achieve. As a simple minded, flaw

human it is hard for me to always live in harmony and giabundantly to my enemies. So why try?

Why try? Because it is in the trying that we see love in actioIt is in the trying that we behave like and show the marks otrue Christian. It is through the trying that we develop skills ahabits that lead us to living in the white far more often than t

black. Emotions, trials of life, and pain lands us in the gray. Wget to decide if we will swim toward the white or toward t

black.

Swimming toward the whiteCarla

Love in Actionby Carla Schooler,Minister of Jr. High Youth

Recently, in his sermon series from Paul'sLetter to the Romans, Clay preached on that

passage in chapter 7 that all of us can identifywith:

"I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to dowhat is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do the very thing Ihate. I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong,and my bad conscience shows that I agree that the law isgood. But I can't help myself, because it is sin inside methat makes me do these evil things No matter which wayI turn, I can't make myself do right. I want to, but I can't.When I want to do good, I don't. And when I try not to dowrong, I do it anyway. But if I'm doing what I don't want todo, I am not really the one doing it; the sin within me isdoing it."

Romans 7:15-20 (Living Bible)

We all know how true this is when it comes to diet, exercise,losing weight, reading the Bible, daily devotionals, and othersuch disciplines. We know we want to do it. We should do it.Our physical and spiritual health depends on it. Yet, we don't doit. We used to make New Year's resolutions to do these things,

but we didn't keep them long. And now we don't even makeresolutions any more.

The same Sunday Clay preached on this passage, one of ourSunday School classes was doing a study on the Holy Spirit.They discussed how the Bible says we must "prepare ourselves"if we want to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Such preparationincludes belief and trust, prayer, meditation, quiet time, and

Bible Study. Again, the question is: "Why don't we do itespecially since having the gift of the Holy Spirit would meanmuch. Like Paul says, we know we should do it; we want to it; we ought to do it; but we don't.

Spiritual wholeness is like physical wholeness. It requira regular discipline of diet, exercise, enough sleep, etc. We knowhat it takes? So why don't we do it? We feel so much betwhen we do; so why don't we do it? One of a preacher's greatefrustrations is knowing he or she is offering people what makfor life in all its fullness the gospel of Christ and yet thdon't respond to it like they should. Why don't we do it?

This past week in my cardiac rehab class (we're given a taonce a week in addition to three days of exercise), we were tothat the latest concern of medicine is the link between the braand the heart. The brain is the new and unexplored frontier. Bthe main thing they said to us is that worry, stress, anxie

depression, and all the other things that lead to poor health coube greatly reduced if people would just develop a 20-30 minu"quiet time" each day. During that time you should learn howrelax, breathe deeply, meditate, and let your worries go.

This is what the church has been trying to teach us centuries! I'm glad the world of medicine is now preaching But if the church has been trying to get us to do it. For oown betterment and good health Then why don't we do That's the question. So how do you answer it as far as youconcerned?
