J U N E 2 0 0 4 ======================================================================================= FROM THE
PASTOR:
Summer
is on the way. It’s
not official until the 21st of the month.
On the longest day
of the year this year I plan to be in northern Montana
near Glacier National Park
for my niece’s wedding. We plan to meet Kate and Abby when we fly in from
different parts of the country to Kalispell, Montana
north of where Lewis and Clark
passed in 1805. As we think of family change there is a lot of upheaval and tension in the world. There is a new commandment – The Eleventh Commandment. Have you heard the Eleventh Commandment? It reads thus: Thou shalt not judge (or discriminate). It sounds nice doesn’t it? But it destroys all the other commandments. Because it destroys the other commandments, it destroys life and denies the Gospel of life too. Discrimination
is a civil idea gone amok.
Justice in a democracy says it is wrong to
discriminate against a person because of their race so
that they are denied a fair opportunity at the goods of
the community and society.
The civil war was ignited by prejudicial
discrimination. But
then the idea went amok to the point we are not to make
any kind of judgements that would make anyone feel bad
or upset. We
can’t discriminate between right and wrong or good and
evil. There
is a group of people – mostly academics – who tell
us that we should call prostitutes sex workers now so we
don’t discriminate against them.
This kind of thinking means we should go blind
and senseless and even godless. There
is good discrimination:
The word means simply to judge one thing from
another or simply to tell one thing from another.
Without good discrimination there is no life,
only death. Our
immune system is basically our discrimination system.
It’s basic function is to discriminate –
judge – between me and not me.
When some germ that is not me invades me then the
immune system is to set off alarms and contain or
destroy the “not me.”
This is one of the problems with organ
transplants and why the discrimination system has to be
suppressed for the organ to live in an alien body.
But if our discrimination system fails, we die as
a body, a person, a family or a society, or as a
Christian. In
a way one of God’s first acts in creation was to set
up a discrimination or immune system for human beings
for healthy life. He
put a tree of knowledge of good and evil (the
know-it-all tree would be a paraphrase from Old
Testament and Lutheran theology) in the middle of the
garden and said, “Don’t eat.”
This means, “I’m God and you are not.
You need to discriminate between who knows it all
and who does not.”
When we forget this basic discrimination or get
confused about it, we go blind and die.
We forget all the commandments and lose the
Gospel.

As the Father sent me I send you.
= = = Vision:
Preach – Teach – Heal – doing what Jesus
does From
the Pastor continued:
This whole thing applies to Father’s Day too.
Some in our day are having trouble discriminating
between men and women and fathers and just guys who hang
around. In
“My Fair Lady” Rex Harrison sang, “Why can’t a
woman be more like a man?”
As I remember the story he discovered that it is a
good thing they are not more like men.
Adam got the point right away when God gave him Eve
and he said, “at last!” In
our day it seems a funny little tune is coming back with a
vengeance. “Reuben,
Reuben I’ve been thinking – what a fine world this
would be – if the men were all transported far beyond
the northern sea.”
A radical feminist writer wrote that a woman needs
a man like fish needs a bicycle.
Do you catch a “little” hostility there? Let me say that there are different kinds of feminism and
some issues raised are good and important.
But like religion and even like Lutherans some
feminist beliefs are out to lunch or more. There
is a belief for some that men should be more like women:
nicer, kinder, less aggressive, etc.
For some there is a belief that women were spared
original sin and that if we only put women in charge of
things the world will become a new and peaceful Garden of
Eden. This
puts boys and their fathers in a bad spot.
It can be very confusing in such a world for a boy
to grow up to be a man. Maybe
we just need to discriminate between men and women because
God discriminated between (not against) them from creation
on. A famous
psychologist did play research with children who were
building things. The
boys built towers and spires that pointed to the skies and
liked weapons and combat.
The girls built enclosures like gardens with a gate
and were less combative.
Are there exceptions?
Yes. But
perhaps we can just accept the differences.
Perhaps we can even celebrate the differences.
Perhaps we can’t be whatever we want to be or do
whatever we want to do, but rather be who God created us
to be and to do what He calls us to do.
That takes discrimination. When
God puts men and women together and makes them mothers and
fathers, they begin to discriminate between who they are
and who they are not.
They also begin to discriminate between good and
evil and sin and grace and see sin is in their own body
and soul. It’s
then they can see the gift of God’s forgiveness in
Christ. At
the cross they can discriminate between sin and God’s
anger at sin and love and God’s forgiveness in the body
of Christ, now risen and blessing fathers and mothers. In
the blessing of the Gospel fathers can celebrate being men
in grace and not feel guilty or ashamed that they are not
more like women or mothers.
In a time of conflict and war men can also see and
know that love does not mean being a pacifist – one who
cannot get into conflict.
The catholic (St. Augustine) Lutheran tradition
tells us that wearing the uniform of the nation and
picking up a weapon can be an act of love before God and
for loved ones God has put in our care.
In Mark’s Gospel it was a soldier who first could
say “Son of God’ when looking at Jesus. A
father can help us learn the art of love by good
discrimination. He
can discriminate between different women by keeping his
promise to the one who is mother of his children and
letting the children know she outranks them in his love.
He can teach the children how to discriminate
between good and evil and smart and foolish.
This kind of discrimination will free sons and
daughters to see the cross clearly and be real
discriminating peace workers in the world.

THE PASTOR:
May brings more
spring and warmer weather.
It also brings one of the larger feast days of
the
church year
- Mother’s
Day. Things
have changed for families and mothers in the past fifty
years. Actually
motherhood has fallen on harder times.
It is my impressions (not a scientific
survey, by any means) that mothers don’t rate
very high on prime time TV.
Few main
characters appear to be married women and
mothers. What
is a bit more scientific are the
studies that tell us that in America and western
Europe each woman has between 1.6 and 1.9 children.
Yes, I know there are days when we are sure that
one of our children is only .6 present and accounted
for. But on
a more serious level those numbers mean that western
women are not having enough children to replace
themselves or make a new generation to come after them.
Now compare that with the simple fact that each
Moslem woman has an average of five children in her life
time. You
don’t have to be an upper level math scholar to know
what these numbers will mean in one century.
This says a lot about families and religion.
Lutherans should be concerned about both families
and faith. With the picture of the numbers in mind, I’d like to connect some other pictures. I remember a young man of fourteen years of age. I remember him standing alone outside of church after everyone else had gone. He had read his confirmation essay along with others from a fairly large class. Parents and friends and church leaders attended the reading and the reception. His parents were not there. They were not there when all others were gone. All he could say was that they had to be with the bowling team that night. His father left his mother and was living with his parents who in turn brought him to church on occasion. His mother was working two jobs. She also had a boyfriend who had two children with a wife he was separated from. These two children were known to pick on the boy. The boy was alone. Sometimes, over twenty years later I wonder where he is. I hope he met some good and wise people along the way to help him hang on to God’s presence and direction in life. I have seen hundreds of family structures like this young boy lived in. I came from one that had its’ own set of problems. We all have some such problems in our immediate, if not in our extended families. What makes me angry is to hear some people - some very educated people - say that family structure or shape makes no difference and that we shouldn’t discriminate because people will feel bad. When I think of that boy alone on that Missouri hilltop outside of an empty church, I know family structure makes a difference. Blessed is the child who has married parents who love each other and are committed to each other and to the children. The core of the family structure is then the strong trinity of husband, wife, and marriage. This trinity runs on the rhythm or dance of all creation: leave-die, grieve, cleave-rise, rejoice. This is reflected in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper in the Christian Church and leads to faith and life. Yes, Christian married couples have troubles and tragedy too. There are no guarantees of perfection or success in family life. A death or illness can come and upset the whole balance.

As the Father sent me I send you.
= = = Vision:
Preach – Teach – Heal – doing what Jesus
does (Continued “From the Pastor”) – But structure
does make a difference.
Centuries of observation and now scientific
research tells us that children in crooked and distorted
family structures are at much higher risk (3 to 10 times
depending on the different factors) for depression,
violence, physical abuse, sex abuse, suicide, bad grades,
marital failure, diseases and health probrlems and many
other problems. Cell
structure in a body makes a difference.
Cancer cells in a body, the cells that can’t say
no or respect limits, can make a body sick or even kill
it. We can’t change nature by voting on some new laws. Living together is not marriage. At the present time we are in a political uproar over family and marriage. Many desire to say gays can be married; courts and voters will decide. But God and nature have already decided that marriage is made for man and woman because they were made or structured to fit one another biologically, emotionally, and spiritually. In a political argument Abraham Lincoln once asked his opponents how many legs a sheep would have if they called the tail a leg. The opponents said, “five.” Lincoln then said, “No, there are still only four legs on a sheep. Calling a tail a leg does not make it one.” Calling a gay relationship marriage does not make it marriage. The consequences to youth and community will not be annulled with a cover of words. If we go in that direction a brother and sister could decide to be married; that would still be incest, would it not? At
this point we Christians are not called upon to go out and
attack gay people or people living together.
We are called to take our faith seriously and think
about these things from the base of our faith.
Our faith is summed up in the catechism.
The center of the catechism is the same center as
the Scripture: The
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit focused in Jesus Christ our
Lord. This is
the center of our worship and teaching at Salem.
I would like to add another picture to the boy
standing alone – congregational worship during the
Easter season. In
the past forty years I have seen attendance at worship
during holy week become deplorable – that means bad.
People seem to want to come to Easter and skip
Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. People seem to want to rise but not die, to be upbeat without
grief, and have faith without repentance. I
think this is connected to some figures we talked about in
staff meeting. In
our church body only half of all kids baptized are
confirmed and only one quarter of those confirmed stay on
in church today. These
figures come from denominational bean counters..
This means that if we baptize 100 babies we confirm
50 and 12/13 stay with the congregations.
Like all statistics these are generalities, but
show a clear trend. Repentance
is not for “the other guy.”
If we in this generation want to change the trend,
it begins with us --
with me. Only
adults and leaders who are growing in faith will inspire
another generation to grow. Inspiring
people in a chaotic world is a challenge.
I remember when Dr. Wicher and I were teaching
confirmation together, we called divorce a sin – a hard
word. We
asked the class if dumbing down the word would be an act
of love like dumbing down the word cancer so a patient
wouldn’t feel bad. One kid said no because then the treatment would be dumbed
down too and the patient could die without hope.
We then said there is a treatment for sin – it is
forgiveness in cross and Easter.
We also told them that the class should know that
both the pastors teaching them came from homes with
divorce and broken lives. We
Christians cannot ignore biology and the structure of the
human body for the future of the family, our culture, and
the faith; Moslem biology will change things in this
century. We
cannot ignore family structure.
Mothers need to love husbands more than kids to
love kids well. We
cannot ignore faith and worship.
With no Good Friday crosses Easters are thin soup.
I wonder about the kid all alone on the hilltop as
darkness fell that night. I
hope he has seen some light somewhere by God’s grace.
Peace,
Pastor Wurster
I have had many people come up to me in the last
few weeks and tell me
how sorry they are to see me go. The favorite
phrase is, “What will we do
without you?”
I have to say, it’s flattering.
It is nice to be needed, to be
loved, to be missed.
But it is also nice to know that Salem will not
fall
apart just because I am leaving.
Ministry was happening for many years
in this place, long before I was born, and it will
continue for years to
come. No
good ministry can be dependent on any one person. How do I know that things will continue for many years? There are resources abounding in your midst, resources that cannot be totaled in an accounting program or a membership list. Real growth within the church is never about numbers or money, it’s about faith, and God working through people. I see people coming to Bible study to grow in their faith. I see youth inviting their friends to activities and worship. I see Sunday School teachers who devote their lives to teaching the Bible to children. I
also see opportunities for outreach all around.
I see people unconnected with the church who are
here nearly every day, from the Trocaire students who park
to the youth who play hockey. I see others who drive by on the circle, heading for Mercy or
other parts of Buffalo.
How amazing would it be to host a youth street
hockey tournament, or provide a shuttle service to the
hospital or college from the parking lot?
What would it be like to hold a carnival on the
front lawn of the church, free to all who wanted to stop
in, or to work with the maternity ward at Mercy to offer
parenting classes to new mothers and fathers?
These are just the ideas that I can think of while
looking out the window – imagine what other things could
be done in this place! I
wish God’s blessings to you all as you start a new
chapter in your ministry journey, and I ask for your
prayers as my husband and I do the same.
