Clergy Reflection
I've met a new colleague, and his name is GW. (The G is for Gregory and W is for Warren, in case you're curious.) GW and I are students together at Light Street Presbyterian Church in Federal Hill this week, learning skills and gaining tools to work with others, to bridge the chasm between "the world as it is" and "the world as it should be".
It was not on GW's radar, to be on Light Street this week. A pastor from St. Petersburg, FL, he happened to be in town, staying with his cousin on Eutaw Place, so he could attend a reception presented by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty https://www.nlchp.org/.

 The Rev. William McD. Tully will preach at all three services this weekend. Bill was trained at Columbia University as a journalist and at the General Theological Seminary as a priest. He led St. Columba's Church in Washington DC in the 1980's-1990's, helping it to become the largest Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Washington. Bill was then called to St. Bartholomew's Church at 50th and Park, NYC, from which he retired five years ago. In a career devoted to parish ministry, Bill has helped the church re-discover the centrality of strong music programs, vibrant ministry for children and teenagers, focused engagement with community partners, and the importance of strong preaching to give us bread for the journey. Bill joins us as a special gift to Redeemer this Fall. Please join us!

Evensong for All Saints'
The Redeemer Choir will offer Evensong for All Saints' Sunday on November 5, at 5:00 p.m. in the church. The service music will include Preces and Responses by Richard Ayleward, settings of the evening canticles by Bert Landman, and the ethereal Requiem by Canadian composer, Eleanor Daley. We believe that this will be the first Baltimore performance of this work. Here is a link to one of the movements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icJ-UaXGInw. As we did last year, the clergy will read the names of those who you have been asked to be remembered between the movements of the Requiem. Beginning this Sunday, sheets will be available in the Narthex on which you may list those you wish to memorialize. A lite-fare reception will follow Evensong in the Parish Hall.

What's good? What's right? What's up?
Wednesday Evenings through November 8
Supper @ 6:00 p.m.; Program at 7:00 p.m.
November 1 "Civic Engagement, from the ancient Greeks to Greektown, Baltimore"
Sign me up for November 1 supper!
 Centuries before Jesus, the Greeks created the polis, a city-state characterized by a lively sense of community and guided by the concept of kairos, doing the right thing at the right time. The ideal city engendered responsibility as well as rights, and everyone was taught to work for the common good. Informed by these ancient ideas, how might we bring about positive change? Join Loyola University professor Allen Brizee as he connects ancient truths to modern problems. Knowledge of Greek not required!
Allen Brizee
is associate professor of writing at Loyola University Maryland and author of the 2016 book, Partners in Literacy: A Writing Center Model for Civic Engagement. At Loyola, he uses civic engagement to teach his courses, and his research focuses on building effective college-community relationships.
November 8 "Scenes from a Hard-boiled Life: Chester B. Himes, a biography"
 Join Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Professor Lawrence Jackson as he discusses his new biography of Chester Himes. The Wall Street Journal calls Chester B. Himes "Harlem's greatest crime writer" who endured "traumas and travails that other black novelists only imagined." The New York Times Book Review says Jackson's comprehensively researched biography "offers a bracing journey" through an uncompromising life. Don't miss engaging this provocative figure.

Bedroom Furnishings & Household Items Needed
|
Can you help three formerly homeless men furnish their new bedrooms?
Our friends at GEDCO have requested some help with three new clients at Justice Housing. One of the many services that GEDCO offers is finding housing for people with HIV/AIDS. During the height of the epidemic, securing reliable housing was a real problem for folks who had the virus. The Justice Housing program is the successor to the old Hero program for HIV/Aids individuals that GEDCO took over from the city
Currently, Justice Housing has three clients that are scheduled to move in to their new apartments soon. These individuals are in desperate need of furniture and other miscellaneous household items, including:
new mattresses,
new box springs, and bed frames (queen-size beds are preferred, but not required),
new sheets,
new towels, linens, tables, sofas, lamps, kitchen utensils, cookware, cleaning supplies, and any other necessary household items.
