Reflection on Luke 6:17-26
If there is a single central theme or image to Epiphany, it is light. Epiphany begins with the light of the star leading the Wise Men; and it ends with the shining radiance of Jesus’ garments at the Transfiguration. In between, this image of light haunts many of the readings and collects throughout the season. Luke’s telling of the beatitudes, which we just heard, fits right in with this - as the purpose of the beatitudes is to shed some new light on old ways of thinking.
It is all too easy to imagine that the beatitudes are about us; that they are commands for how we should live, and what we should do. Jesus is simply describing reality, he is not telling the disciples, or us, or anybody else, to do anything.
Another misunderstanding for their meaning has been for the world. That is, the beatitudes have been presented as ways to help folks live well in the word; or at least as things to do that will make the world a better place. It has been suggested that if we would only be spiritually poor or hungry, or persecuted, that this will bring out the best in others and they will be the better because of it. Jesus was not trying to shine any light on how the world works. They are not about the world, just like they are not about telling us how to act.
The beatitudes are about God, they are about who God is, and who God blesses, and what the kingdom of God is like. They tell us what matters to God, they tell us who is especially important to God, and they tell us what God pays attention to.
Jesus gives us this information about God - hoping that such knowledge may have a valuable effect on us. Jesus offers us his picture of God’s values and God’s priorities; and he offers them as an alternative vision of life. The idea is that if we can see, really see, whom God considers blessed, or happy, then we will at least know the road to blessedness, and perhaps be able to use that knowledge.
The beatitudes are a glimpse into the heart and mind of God. Jesus is trying to shake us loose from that assumption, and give us a different vision of life, one that has its foundations, not in the world, but in the very nature of God.
Now, what we do with this is up to us. Remember, we are not getting a bunch of moral laws here. We are being offered a new vision of our world and our lives. The point is not that we must obey a rule that says ‘thou shalt be poor and persecuted’. The point is that, by this light, we can look at the mind of God and discover all sort of new possibilities.
So we have some new light on God. The question is: if God is really like this; if God has the preferences and the priorities of the beatitudes, then what could that mean? How could our lives be different, how could you be different? That’s the issue, and that is the question Jesus leaves us with. It’s a good question, and worth considering in your life.

We Love Health Care Workers
The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego wishes to thank all healthcare workers during this challenging time of the COVID pandemic.
This Valentine's Day, we wish to thank healthcare workers across our four counties. You are invited to join an in-person thank you to healthcare workers in San Diego. People from the diocese will meet at Scripps Memorial Hospital (in La Jolla) on February 14 at 12pm. Follow the signs toward the Emergency Room Parking area. Contact the Rev. Janine Shenone for more information.
Also, the diocese is producing a video to show appreciation for all healthcare workers. This video is intended to be included in a segment on a local TV station. We will keep you updated on its airing in the near future.
Last Sunday, the parish of St. John's participated in this dioscesan project to show our appreciation for all healthcare workers. A video expressing our thanks with a vibrant cheer of appreciation was led by Rev. Roger!

Please join us in praying for all healthcare workers across the Diocese:
“Sanctify, O Lord, those whom you have called to the study and practice of the arts of healing, and to the prevention of disease and pain.
Strengthen them by your life-giving Spirit, that by their ministries the health of the community may be promoted and your creation glorified;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

A Different Kind of Book Club
We'd like to try a different kind of Book Club and see if there is enough interest to continue it on perhaps a monthly basis.

If you are interested, please send an email to Diane Gustafson (diangus15@aol.com) and tell whether you would like an in person session, Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom. It's possible we can do more than one format.

Beware of Scam Emails & Phishing Attempts
If you receive a suspicious email from an address that seems to be Rev. Roger or another parishioner asking for a favor, it may be a phishing attempt. Scam emails mimic addresses we are familiar with and are very often full of grammatical errors.
Rev. Roger will never email you asking for funds or financial support by way of gift cards. If you receive an email that seems suspicious, do not open it or respond to it. Delete it immediately.
Phishing is a cyber attack that uses disguised email as a weapon. The goal is to trick the email recipient into believing that the message is something they want or need - a request from their bank, for instance, or a note from someone in their company - and to click a link or download an attachment.

A Message from the Public Health Task Force
As the Covid pandemic continues, the members of our diocesan Public Health Task Force continue to meet and discuss ways to keep our communities safe, and pursue our mission in the name of Jesus Christ. We are grateful that our congregations have worked so hard on public health and safety issues for the nearly two years of the pandemic so far, and most churches have figured out best practices for keeping our people safe.
During the pandemic, the transformations in our communities have been inspiring, in many ways. You have worked hard to make online worship, formation, and fellowship opportunities available to help people stay safe, and you have made special efforts to stay in touch with your members and offer support and pastoral care. Although many people are still joining worship from home, some congregations are seeing growth as new folks are joining who have discovered our churches online. I am glad to see the dedication to Christ’s mission that continues throughout our diocese. As your bishop, I am deeply grateful to all of you for your inspired witness to the God who brings healing and reconciliation to our world.
We are now at a point where Omicron cases are surging and the pandemic may be in the process of turning into an endemic disease: one which sees periodic surges in infections, but our society learns how to deal with it. We are not yet to that point, and it is still important to maintain safety precautions, particularly for unvaccinated people, who comprise the overwhelming majority of hospitalized patients.
Our Public Health Task Force has some suggestions to help maintain safety:
- GET VACCINATED AND BOOSTED. There is no better way to protect yourself and those you love from a still-deadly disease.
- In our diocese, we are still requiring masks for indoor worship, except while someone is speaking to read, pray, preach, or celebrate.
- We have still not restored drinking from the common cup, or letting each worshiper intinct. It is fine to offer intinction from the common cup if the intinction is done by a clergy member who has washed his/her hands and who places the intincted wafer in people’s hands (not on their lips). Some congregations have worked out other safe ways to offer communion in both kinds, which I encourage.
- The Task Force suggests that congregations ask your members to avoid passing a physical sign of the Peace; encourage distancing; limit in-person attendance to 75% of capacity, and hold coffee hour outdoors.
- Please encourage staff and worshipers to stay home at any sign of sickness or exposure to Covid in the household. For clergy, please contact the diocese if you need assistance with finding supply clergy.
- Several of our congregations have made a temporary decision to go to online-only worship. This is not the right decision for every congregation, but we give thanks that it is an option for some.
I am so grateful for all of you, and so inspired by your witness to the love of Christ in such a difficult time. I give special thanks for the work of our Public Health Task Force:
David Ostrander, M.D., chair
Cheryl Anderson, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Public Health, UC San Diego

How Do You Respond to Abundance?
In last Sunday's gospel reading we hear the story of Jesus calling Peter into discipleship at the beginning of his ministry. Before inviting him to follow, though, Jesus first helps Peter catch multiple boatloads of fish! After not having been able to catch any fish all day, and likely believing he would go home empty-handed, Peter is overwhelmed by the abundance of food he has been given by Jesus. In response to this abundance, Peter falls down before Jesus and says, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." In the face of Jesus' miraculous help and the great abundance that came from it, Peter's response is to feel unworthy and guilty.
This week, pay attention to how you are responding to the loving support of others and abundance in your own life. How do you respond when you are helped or given more than you think you deserve? Remember Jesus' response to Peter, "Don't be afraid," and see what it might be like to recognize support and abundance as invitations to go forth and do God's work of love and liberation in the world.

EDSD Statement of Commitment
As part of the Jesus Movement and the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, we pledge to love our neighbors and protect the most vulnerable among us, remembering our baptismal vows to "strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being." We live these pledges out by actively engaging in dismantling racism. For many of us, this will mean learning more about our racial identity, listening to those who have experienced racial prejudice, speaking out against racism, and showing up alongside those in our community working to change unjust systems in our society. We also live out this pledge at worship during this pandemic, by wearing face-coverings, respecting distancing guidelines, and foregoing the common cup.
