Posted in Civil Religion, an ongoing forum at the St Louis Post-Dispatch’s BlogZone. Author Pamela Dolan is the Director of Formation for Children and Families at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Webster Groves.
We all know that ours is an age obsessed with the personal and the new. I have been fortunate enough to take several classes with Ralph McMichael, and one thing I admire about him is the disciplined way he focuses his intellect so that it serves the ancient and timeless teachings of the Church. I suspect that such an approach is one people across the spectrum of the Church are searching for and re-learning in a mostly haphazard but quite sincere way. When I talk to people in my own and other parishes, I find that there is a palpable desire in our churches for people who can reach back into our Christian past and pluck out those treasures that continue to speak to our current situations and personal perplexities and then offer them up in such a way that they enrich our awareness of both past and present. Thus the Gospel continues to be proclaimed as not only good but also as news–as something that is different than the ways of the world, that is deeply strange and yet intuitively resonant, and that is ultimately both infinitely new and truly eternal.

Tim Townsend, religion editor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, wrote in his 4/6/09 coverage:
After the hourlong rally, Imam Muhamed Hasic of the Islamic Community Center in St. Louis said such grass-roots efforts based on interfaith organization were important “because hundreds of thousands in this state deserve to be treated better and this is where that help can begin.”
Bishop George Wayne Smith, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, agreed, saying it was up to “the faithful to care for the least of these.”
“Personally, I can do nothing other than that, and I will be asking Episcopalians in the pews to do the same,” he said. -more
Pam Dolan wrote in her Civil Religion column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
The decisions that our state government makes during these next few weeks regarding the 2010 budget will have real and lasting consequences for everyone in the state, but no persons will be more directly affected than the poor, the disabled, children, and the elderly. In other words, those very people for whom we are most responsible, if we wish to be a just and compassionate society. -more
