Parishioner News: Susan Kalanges on MLK Day

January 21, 2011, People of St. Paul's (42), City & Commonwealth (63)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" In that spirit, last week, Wallace+ shared how he planned to celbrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a "day on" and invited the people of St. Paul's to share your plans.

In response, parishioner Susan Kalanges shared the following:

Susan Kalanges (s-jk@comcast.net): "I shall be joining the Coalition rally for people with disabilities at the Bell Tower at 9:00 A.M. and then will be speaking with my delegate, Kirk Cox, and others, encouraging them to support legislation and funding for people with mental illness and intellectual disabilities. We welcome all who would like to participate."

Susan is a leader within the National Alliance on Mental Illness - Central Virginia chapter. Thanks, Susan, for sharing your efforts!

MLK 25 Challenge

If you haven't yet shared how you spent the day, please do so! We'd love to pass along any reflections, photos, and inspirations you may have. And, of course, engaging in the community is a year-round ministry. This year, the Corporation for National & Community Service launched the MLK 25 Challenge on Martin Luther King Day, encouraging Americans to serve year-round. 

Visit the St. Paul's Web site to get involved through St. Paul's outreach ministries or check out Hands On Greater Richmond for short- and long-term volunteer opportunities throughout the city of Richmond.

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
