Interim Rector's Ramblings
153 FISH
The Gospel lesson this past Sunday recalled one of the appearances of Jesus following the resurrection. Jesus is on the shore near the Sea of Tiberias as the disciples pull in from a long night of fishing. The disciples have caught nothing all night when Jesus tells them to try just one more time. They lower their nets and to their amazement, they catch so many fish that their nets are almost torn. The Gospel reports that they caught 153 fish!
I majored in biology when I was in college. Everything about science was always fascinating to me. Even though I never ended up using my biology degree in my vocation, I still apply my knowledge and interest in biology in other areas of my life.
Did you know that when this Gospel story was written the Greeks had classified 153 species of fish? There are actually many more species of fish in the world, but at the time this Gospel story was written they only knew of 153 types of fish.
When the disciples cast their nets one last time this Gospel lesson reports that they caught 153 fish. I don't really believe that there were exactly 153 fish, or even that they sat down and counted them. What I do believe is that the Gospel writer was trying to make a point. When the disciples threw down their nets and gathered them back up, they caught one of every kind of known fish. Every species of fish was included.
I believe the gospel writer is trying to tell us something about the kingdom of God. When God casts a net to gather in all the people of the world, everyone will be included. We will all be gathered up into the net of Kingdom to dwell with God.
All are welcome. As God casts the net it is God's intention that all will be included in the Kingdom of God. Alleluia!
Canon Kate+

The Church of the Holy Nativity has selected Chris Suzuki as our new Choir Director. Chris' first Sunday with us will be Easter Sunday. Chris studied at the University of Hawai'I at Manoa and has completed a Bachelor's Degree in Music with a minor in Business Administration. Chris has sang professionally with the Lutheran Church of Honolulu and St. Andrew's Cathedral.
Our Vestry has approved the appointment and is joined by many, many others of us in welcoming our choir back to its calling. Music is an important part of our worship tradition, supplementing spoken words and symbolic actions. Music stirs us and provides another dimension to our expression of our love of God.
Because we spent many months searching for our new choir director before having success, we invite you to acknowledge our good fortune by making a "budget-relieving" gift to support our music program. You may write a check to the Church of the Holy Nativity and note Music on the memo line. Mahalo.
