January 8, 1790: George Washington delivered the first message to Congress on the state of the Union. No pomp, no long partisan clapping. and the shortest ever recited by a president. The speech - especially in comparison to what we get today - shows just how far modern presidents have strayed from the Constitution.

John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial results. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd. The jury deliberated for approximately one day, and found Chauvin guilty of all charges levied against him. Dr. Emmit Riley, political scientist and assistant professor of Africana Studies at DePauw University, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial. The discussion revolves around the current and long-term social and legal impact of the guilty finding. Is this example of police personnel testifying against a fellow officer a harbinger of things to come, or an anomaly that only happens in the most egregious examples of police misconduct?Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's address to the Federal Assembly. Putin's address focused principally on domestic issues, such as the coronavirus response and the prospects for subsequent economic recovery. However, he also urged other nations to refrain from crossing Russia's geopolitical "red lines." Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss Chinese President Xi's recent speech. Speaking virtually at the "Boao Forum for Asia," Xi's remarks that "no nation should dictate global rules or interfere in the internal affairs of other nations," was clearly directed towards the United States.Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian, and researcher, joins us to discuss the America First Caucus. A movement for a GOP-led "America First" caucus in Congress is flailing, as major pushback has occurred shortly after its manifesto was revealed. The document has the appearance of a cookie-cutter GOP policy platform with a sprinkle of Trump-style right-wing populism. Chris Hedges, author, speaker, and investigative journalist, joins us to discuss his latest article "The Unraveling of the American Empire." Hedges argues that the pattern of stumbling from one military debacle to another is a sign of a crumbling empire. He sees Afghanistan as "one in a string of catastrophic military blunders that herald the death of the American empire." Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Israel's attempts to stop the US from returning to the Iran nuclear deal. Israel's recent moves have been brilliantly countered by Iran in a dangerous chess game that has left America's Middle East proxy with few options. Iran's latest move to enrich uranium at 60% in response to Israel's attack on their Natanz nuclear facility has made it more important for the US to return to the agreement.Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss Caitlin Johnston's latest article on the CIA's influence on the media. Johnstone argues that the CIA no longer needs to infiltrate or influence the media because most of the media partners directly with the nefarious organization.

This year at Holy Comforter, we are committing to prayer. We are going to pray for our church, for each other, for the world, and for ourselves. This sermon is also the Annual Address by our rector, the Rev. Jimmy Abbott.

When Life Is Too Hard Too Stand KNEEL With your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9 Have we seen the last days of true freedom in America, as we know it are, we slipping into a state of socialism and or communist? Last weekend was the 244th anniversary of the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation. At this point, you must wonder if America's 244th birthday might be its last. We have broken churches some preachers teaching hate instead of teaching the true word of God and we now have a broken nation politician bowing down to mob protesters, Let's look at the pledge of allegiance  I: an individual, a committee of one. PLEDGE: a solemn promise or undertaking. ALLEGIANCE: loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause. TO THE FLAG: Our standard, Old Glory The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice. UNITED: joined politically, for a common purpose, or by common feelings. STATES: Individual communities that have united into 50 great states. Fifty individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country. AND TO THE REPUBLIC: a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD: One nation, meaning “so blessed by God.” INDIVISIBLE: Incapable of being divided. WITH LIBERTY: Which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation. AND JUSTICE: The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others. FOR ALL: For all, which means, this country is yours and mine. Red, White, & Blue As imperfect as it may be, I love my country. I always have; I always will. And I will always pray for our leaders Yes I love my country because of the many blessings that you can have by the grace of God in this country and  of the men and women who, through the years, have sacrificed so much in its defense. All gave some……. Some gave all (their Lives) Abraham Lincoln, in his Gettysburg Address, said... The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Take a good look at Psalm 33:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord Oh yeah, Every nation has a god but there is only one true God with a capital G The Babylonian Empire had a god. Its name was Marduk. The Medo-Persian Empire had a god. Its name was Ahura Mazda. The Grecian Empire had a god. Its name was Zeus. The Roman Empire had a god. Its name was Jupiter. The United States Of America was founded as a Christian nation whose God was the Lord God Almighty! George Washington, our first president, wrote a “Prayer for the Nation,” in 1783 and sent it to the governors of all the states. In it, he wrote... Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United states in thy holy protection...that thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things,  we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplications, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen. You can re-write it, but you cannot deny it…the United States was founded as a Christian nation. And, because of that... The United States of America was a blessed nation - was a happy nation! President George Washington stated, in his 7th Annual Address, on December 8, 1795... Join with me in profound gratitude to the Author of All Good, for the…extraordinary blessings we enjoy…Is it too much to say, that our country exhibits a spectacle of national happiness, never surpassed, if ever before equaled? With sincere acknowledgment to Heaven, and pure love to our country, to unite our efforts to preserve our immense advantages. However, it could now be argued that... The god of the United States of America is no longer the God of the Bible but has instead become the god of humanism. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers. Stated Then Senator Barrack Obama in 2006 C.S. Lewis remarked: God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing. Because of that... The United States is no longer blessed! Just think about what is now happening Covid-19 across the world. Our country is no longer happy; it is now depressed, stressed and afraid! Did you Know that Since 2007, the American Psychological Association has commissioned an annual nationwide survey...to examine the state of stress across the country and understand its impact? Health care, the election, and mass shootings are significant sources of stress for Americans. While we have only 114 DAYS 14 HOURS 55 minutes  remains at the time of my writing this  before Americans Christian and non-Christian alike will go to the polls in November , many report stress related to issues in the news, including the up- coming  presidential election— Gorge Floyd incident , mob protester, BLM issues, which more Americans say is a cause of stress now  more now than ever, even more than the 2016 election. Mass Shootings, Terrorism on American soil, Climate Change, Sexual Harassment, human trafficking Even though fewer people are “stressed” about the economy. Economy However, we should not be surprised that this has happened. Why? Because God already gave an example of all of this in His Word. (PROPHECY) Turn to and read 1 Kings 3:7-14. Then, turn to and read 1 Kings 11:4-10, 14, 23-25, 29-33. While King Solomon followed God; God blessed the nation of Israel. When King Solomon turned from following God; God removed that blessing. We see that the exact same thing has happened to the United States of America! So, what can we do? We can find the answer in Psalm 33:12 KJV Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Blessed is…the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. In the context of this passage of Scripture, this is referring to the nation of Israel. However, by application, it refers to those who have trusted Christ as their Savior. Turn to and read 1 Peter 1:18-19, 23; 2:9-10. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior than you are blessed. Continue to walk with and follow God! Micah 6:8 KJV 1900 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; And what doth the Lord require of thee, But to do justly, and to love mercy, And to walk humbly with thy God? What happens when we walk with someone? Imagine that you and a close friend are enjoying a walk down a country lane. You are in proximity. You talk, laugh, listen, and share your hearts. Your attention is focused on this person to the exclusion of almost everything else. You notice the beauty around you or an occasional distraction, but only to point it out to your companion. You share it together. You are in harmony, and you both enjoy the peaceful camaraderie. Walking with God is like that. You and I know that our nation may no longer walking with God as it once was, there's no reason why each of us, cannot. Resources: logo Bible software - Faith Life Sermons-online search

2019 Annual Meeting Rector’s Annual AddressFebruary 9, 2020Good morning, church! And welcome to the one hundred and seventy-first annual meeting of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Brookline. This is my 11th Annual Address as your rector. And, as is my practice each year, I want to start by reminding you how much I love you, and how much I love being your rector. Let me state, once again, that it is a privilege to walk your journeys of faith with you and I am humbled by your faithfulness and your trust.I do not wish to subject you to a reading of the Annual Report. I hope you read the digital version emailed to you this week. If you didn’t get a chance to, please do. You will be amazed -- even those of you who have been here for years will be amazed -- at the breadth and the depth of ministry happening in and from this place.I do want to take this opportunity to make sure you know who our ministry leadership team is. These are the people with whom you should talk if you are curious about what God might be needing you to do next in this place. If my math is correct, though I’m sure my count is incomplete, we are blessed with over 26 ministries at St. Paul’s led by over 30 members of the community.As I read your name, please stand and wave. Let’s hold our thunderous applause until the end.Personnel Committee Ouida Foster Altar Guild Sharlene Wing and John Ferguson Chalice Bearers Maryann KurkjianFlower Guild Maureen CarterHealing Prayer Steve Morrissey Lectors Michael Scheffler Ushers Sam Scott Eucharistic Visitors Maryann KurkjianPastoral Care Team Maryann Kurkjian and Kate Kelley Stewardship Stephen Morrissey and Leah Rugen Yard Sale Steve Estes-Smargiassi Be an Angel Paul Daigneault B-Safe/B-Ready Piper Trelstad and Kate KelleyMinistry Outside the Parish Matshai Motimele and Tim Hintz Mission Sundays Melissa DullaPrison Ministry Leahanne Sarlo Gardens Julie Starr Archives Pat Dunbar Education for Ministry Leah Rugen and Linda Sanches Scripture Group Leah Rugen Church School Teachers Julie Starr, Janet Rankin, Andrea Brue, Jason Fairchild, Chris Dulla, Maria O’MearaHospitality Alan Fried Knitting Group Maureen Carter Greeters and Newcomers Melissa Dulla, Leah Rugen, and Ayanna McPhail Yoga Martha CurtisCentering Prayer Ann ColageoThank you to our ministry leaders. And our Vestry, led this past year by our Wardens Julie House and Brett Foster. If you were on the Vestry this past year, please stand and accept our gratitude.And, finally, our staff. This group of people we ask to work miracles each and every day. Our nursery staff, our section leaders, our finance administrator Christine, our sexton James, our Parish Administrator Jill, our Director of Music and Organist Andy, and the best clergy team a rector could ask for; our Deacon Pat, our Curate Isaac and our Associate Rector Elise. Let’s hear it for our staff.So many people to thank, and so many more of you who showed up and made 2019 at St. Paul’s another year to remember.2019 was yet another year in which God stretched us, stretched me, in new and unexpected ways.The budget certainly captured our attention. Three years ago we made the decision to use a chunk of our endowment to match funds raised from the congregation for the renovation of the lower level, parish offices and backyard. This might just be the year that work is completed!This decision was made carefully and with the understanding that the increased income from a lower level tenant would exceed the draw we would have taken on that amount. And then our grand tower proved jealous of the attention our lower level was getting and required urgent repair to the tune of $700k. Rather than shrinking before the challenge, we decided to meet it; and meet it we have.Over the past three years, our deficit at the end of the year has ranged from 48K in 2017, to 72K in 2018 and 33K in 2019. This year, we are projecting to cut that by 2/3rds with a projected deficit of about 10K. I am so proud of the work the budget committee has done to get us here, under Brett Foster’s rigorous leadership. It hasn’t been easy and tough conversations needed to be had, but I stand before you this morning feeling like I can look each one of you in the eye and promise you that each and every dollar you have entrusted to us for the work of God in this place is being stretched to its limits and not a penny is wasted. Transparency and trust has always been at the core of our financial leadership. If you want to know more about how your finances are being managed, please speak to Brett. He’d be more than happy to talk with you. I mean, way more than happy to talk with you.And the even better news in all of this is that we have the power and the opportunity to erase that projected 10K budget gap before we’ve even closed the books on February. If you haven’t yet submitted a pledge card, I ask you to seriously consider it. More than a financial commitment to the work of the parish, it is one way of saying “I’m in” to the values we hold and the ministry we share. No pledge amount is too small or not needed. And if you have submitted a pledge form, I ask you to have a real conversation and spend time in real prayer about whether there might be room to stretch your pledge.Why would I ask you to do such a thing? Because I believe we are making a difference. I have proof. And because I believe there has never been a better time to be the church, or to be St. Paul’s Brookline.There is a scripture passage that has been on my mind and in my heart these past few months, and it keeps popping up, which is usually God’s way of getting my attention.It comes from the book of Esther. It’s a great story, and tells the story behind the Jewish festival of Purim. But, in brief, Esther is queen and secretly Jewish. Her uncle Mordacai discovers a plan made by the king’s right hand man to kill anyone who is Jewish and begs Esther to intercede on her people’s behalf.Esther is afraid. She is not supposed to take audience with the king unless summoned, an offense punishable by death, and she is afraid to tell the king that she is Jewish.Her uncle Mordacai pleads with her and asks her this question:Who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for a time such as this?That’s a great question for the church. Maybe it is exactly a time such as this that the church is needed most.And it’s a great question for St. Paul’s. I have every reason to believe it is for a time exactly like the times in which we live for which St. Paul’s might exist.And it’s a great question for each one of you. Maybe this is exactly the time in our community’s life for which you are needed the most, maybe now is the time for which God brought you here.This is the time. As Jesus reminds us in this morning’s Gospel, we have a calling to be salt and light in a world losing both its flavor and its vision. St. Paul’s continues to be salt and light.As racism and oppression continue to stain our national life, our Anti-Racism Group is choosing to go deeper in unpacking racism and white supremacy through their participation in Sacred Ground. Salt.This fall, Elise, Pat, Jocelyn Collen and Leahanne Sarlo brought the sacrament of the body of Christ to women at the South Bay correctional facility. It was the first time most of them had seen a woman preside at the altar. Light.As anti-semitic and anti-muslim rhetoric and violence feels increasingly common, we invited our Muslim neighbors to come and share their story with us. Light.We participated in the first ever Brookline Interfaith Service in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at Temple Sinai. Salt.These are not small things. As individual acts they might not change the world, but they go along way to make sure the world does not change us. Our longing to be in closer relationship with God continues to grow. This past year we started three new ministries meant to feed our Spirits; to keep us salty and burning bright.We experimented with “Eat, Pray, Work” during lent, offering a daytime monastic-like co-working space. Our first Education for Ministry class began in the fall with 11 participants and two co-mentors. Ann Colageo and Isaac began our new Wednesday morning Contemplative Prayer Group.2019 was a year that St. Paul’s continued to live into Frederick Buechner’s concept of vocation, or calling. He writes, “Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need.”How blessed are we that our greatest joys as a community is exactly what the world needs right now.When we committed to repairing the tower, one of the most convincing arguments I heard was from a long time parishioner who reminded me, reminded us, that this place; the buildings, the ministries, the spirit of this place, we are the stewards of all of it.Those who have come before us, those whose names surround us etched in granite, they have passed it on to us for a time. And we will, one day, pass it on to those who will come after us. It is our job to care for it and all it represents with all the love and courage that it demands.But we are not meant to leave it just as we found it. God needs us to leave this place better than we found it; healthier than we found it, more robust than it was when it was given to us. We are meant to leave it saltier and more filled with light than it ever has been.God needs us to push this place and the people in it to be no less than a glimpse of Kingdom that God dreams for us to be.And that is what this next year is for. Each year, a new gift, a new opportunity for us to ask, as a community and individuals where God needs us next, where God needs you next. This will be a year that tries the fabric of our country. This will be a year that demands we remember who we are, whose we are and who God needs us to be. We will not all vote for the same candidate, we will not all vote for the same party. We can, however, show the world, show each other that we can love one another as fiercely as we disagree with each other. We can show the world, in ways big and small, what it means to be a people who can most easily be described for the love we have for one another, and for the ways we love and care for the least, the lost and the lonely.We can be salt in a world losing its flavor and we can be light in a world losing its vision.People of St. Paul’s, may 2020 be exactly the time for which we were made. AMEN.© 2020 The Rev’d Jeffrey W. Mello
