St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church

​As many of you know … during this holiday season with our downtown flooded with visitors during the Nights of Lights … St. Cyprian’s is the host site for Dining With Dignity on Fridays and Saturdays.  So, on Friday afternoon … as I was putting up the “Welcome Dining With Dignity” banner outside on the corner … a man came by and asked about the sign.  He was from out-of-town visiting family in the neighborhood for Thanksgiving and he was curious about the church.  I told him a little bit about our congregation, and I unlocked the doors to show him our sanctuary.  Like so many others who see our church for the first time he commented on the beautiful woodwork and the stained glass window.  He then asked about the steel tension rods crossing the nave, and I explained about the renovation of the church in the late 1990s and a bit of the history of St. Cyprian’s.

Today is the next-to-last Sunday of the Season following the Feast of Pentecost.  Twenty-six Sundays … a half a year.  And the season winds down with some alarming images.  In today’s reading from Mark’s gospel, Jesus and his disciples are in Jerusalem and the disciples are admiring the Temple. One of them commented on the beautiful stones and fine buildings dedicated to God, but Jesus’ response is that there will be a time when “not one stone will be left upon another.”

What is a Thanksgiving without looking at Norman Rockwell’s iconic Saturday Evening Post cover of the Thanksgiving turkey being put on the table by Grandma?  Uncle Bill, Aunt Sue, and all the cousins are there, with Dad peaking in from the corner … or is the Norman Rockwell himself?

Every year about this time one of the selections included in our lectionary has something to do with money.  In one of the years of the three-year rotation there is the story of the Pharisees trying to catch Jesus in a gotcha moment.  Jesus is presented with a coin with the impression of the emperor on it.  He is asked whether people should pay their taxes.  Jesus says “Give to Caesar’s what is Caesar’s, and give to God what belongs to God.”

When Robert Bowers … the man accused of killing 11 people at the Temple of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh a week ago … was taken to Allegheny General Hospital with gunshot wounds, he was treated by doctors and nurses who were Jewish as he shouted “I want to kill all the Jews.”  Amid the ugliness around us we need to be reminded that the world is filled with decent, moral, upright and ethical people like those doctors and nurses … people who have no home in their hearts for hate.
