Clergy Corner
7 Year Itch (or 7th Inning Stretch)?
Beloved,
Having begun my 7th year among you last month, I am
aware that many clergy experience what is called the 7
year itch. The theory is, among other things, that: (1)
Having been through the three year Lectionary cycle
of scripture readings with the parish twice, what else
can you say or preach? (2) Now that the honeymoon is
definitely over, maybe it’s time to move on to “greener
pastures” where one can find new challenges without
some of the same old problems.
Well… as I have said several times to you in the last six
months, I love being your Rector. As I look forward to
2011 and beyond, I am more grateful than ever to be
among you. I am joyfully choosing to continue as your
Rector. We are a wonderful community of faith with a
great history, an important and growing present, and a
wonderful future. Knowing that both of my immediate
predecessors were here for 30 years until their
retirement, it is also my plan to retire from St.
George’s. But I promise you, as I did the Search
Committee in 2004, that the 30 year tradition will be
ending. Though I have no plans for the timing of my
retirement, it will be long before 2034! I trust it will
be long before 2025 when I reach mandatory
retirement age.
As a lover of baseball (and a former high school
catcher), I don’t think we’ve reached the 7th inning
stretch of my time with you. One of my favorite
movies (I cry every time I see it) is Field of Dreams.
Perhaps you remember the line: “If you build it, they
will come.” In partnership with the Risen Christ, we
are building on our heritage, we are building a stronger
community of faith, we are living into a new future
even as we give thanks for all that we have already
been.
In recent years, Phyllis Tickle and others have
articulated ideas about what is called The Great
Emergence. Using different terminology, Loren Mead
and others were discussing these same themes as early
as the 1980s. Some of the key motifs are:
 Massive transitions happen in the church about
every 500 years
 The Great Transformation (when God walked
among us)
 Gregory the Great (monasticism and mission)
 The Great Schism (further separation between
East and West)
 The Great Reformation (including the
Renaissance and the beginning of Anglicanism)
 We are living in a time of massive transition
(The Great Emergence)
One commentator says: “I don’t know which I admire
more: Tickle’s erudition, her brilliant writing, or her
faithfulness.”
Among other things, life at St. George’s in 2011 will
include:
 Vestry Retreat reflecting on the Great
Emergence
 Heritage Park-Bragg Hill Mission
 Continuing emphasis on Centering Prayer +
Meditation
 More Adult Bible Study and small group
opportunities
 DC Gay Men’s Chorus in Concert
 Marcus Borg on Christian Life in the 21st
century
 New partnership with a congregation in Haiti
 Continuing discernment with Bishop Jones
about starting a new congregation
 Youth Confirmation (Confirm not Conform)
 Dedicatory Recital and Bishop’s Blessing of our
new Organ
 Gay Rahn and John Vreeland will be on
Sabbatical, both beginning sometime in May
 The opening of our new Preschool
Whatever is emerging, we can be sure it is a wonderful
gift from God!
Joyfully,
]|Å

St. George’s Annual Vestry Retreat at Roslyn
Conference & Retreat Center will be January 14-16.
The Rev. Gary Jones, Rector of St. Stephen’s in
Richmond will lead part of the Vestry’s time together
around two themes:
(1) How can leaders embrace The Great Emergence
(see Clergy Corner) with enthusiasm and hope? How do
we lead faithfully in the midst of a time of massive
transition in church and society? How can leadership
see spirituality, worship, hospitality, servanthood and
mission as One?
GRACE IN ACTION 2011
As of Dec. 28, we have received pledges of $793,929

members in attendance
Respectfully submitted: Ben Wafle
(2) Our relationship with God
needs to be nurtured in “the
closet, the house and the
sanctuary.” First proposed by
Charles Olsen, this leadership
motif underscores the need for
the larger worshiping community; a
smaller group for mutual support,
prayer & spiritual growth; and the nurturing of one’s
very personal relationship with God. Too often, people
expect one of these arenas to meet the needs of all of
them. –Jim Dannals

Capital Campaign Wrap-Up For 2010
We have had another successful year both with the
progress of Nave Renovation and Capital Campaign fund
raising to support it.
As you read this, we are close to the completion of the
organ which is the last step in Nave Renovation, an
eight year process. The Nave Renovation committee
began in November 2002 to provide a vision and details
of the renovation. Work began in September 2007 and
the Nave was rededicated without the organ in April
2009.
It has been a remarkable eight years in what has been
achieved. We have a reconfigured Nave that is in
harmony both with the history of the building and the
needs of current parishioners. In addition there are
new spaces – an enlarged sacristy, music room in the
third floor of McGuire Hall and a new meditation room
where organ pipes were once housed. And now a new
organ is in its own space! The improvements and
additions have significantly enhanced our worship,
education and outreach ministries. For instance, we
have a larger Christian formation area in the first
story of McGuire which will be used in part for a new
preschool debuting in 2011.
While we were six months late on the installation, the
organ company made concessions by doing prep work
valued at $66,400 for future pipes. In addition, a
Festival trumpet “stop” was added at no charge to the
instrument. The dedicatory concert is scheduled for
May 6 with Bishop Shannon Johnston dedicating the
instrument.
We were cognizant while the organ was being built a
new fundraising was needed with pledges from the
capital campaign gradually being completed and debt
still over $1.1 million. We had indicated in 2007 at the
beginning of the renovation that this step would be
necessary. During 2010, this became “RfM2”
(“Renewing for Ministries 2”) with the goal to reduce
our debt to $0 by 2014.
As part of the planning, we implemented a quiet
campaign in 2010 which has yielded pledges of over
$465,000 from 65 people. We also will be syndicating
tax credits for the organ work during the entire
renovation period. We hope to earn in excess of
$150,000 in that process toward reducing our debt.
Be on the lookout for a general RfM2
campaign beginning early in 2011.
2010 represented the third year of
fundraising and we are ahead of our
expectations. Since most pledges
were for 3 years (2007-2010), we expected revenues
would be lower than in earlier years. We have received
pledge payments of $64K through October which are
under $74K forecast. However, many pledges were paid
ahead and the forecast was not adjusted. To date, we
have received gifts of $236K from RfM2, including
$25,000 from the General Endowment Fund and a
$50,000 special gift.
Consider these other possibilities:
1. If you have not made a gift to our renovation, please
consider doing so now as it would help us pay for the
organ and also to make some debt reductions. Such a
gift can be seen as a Christmas gift to the Church and
to you. Giving to the Capital Campaign now before the
end of the year can help both the Church reduce the
cost of the renovation finance costs and improve your
tax situation. No gift is too small! We have no
minimum.
2. If you completed a pledge for the original campaign,
consider a new pledge now. You can always prepay a
part of it for receiving extra 2010 deductions.
3. Keep on the outlook for the renewal of the IRA
charitable deduction if you are 70½ or older. Although
it expired at the end of 2009 and has not been
renewed as of this writing, Congress is scheduled to
revisit the legislation after the mid-term Congressional
elections. Prior to its expiration on Dec. 31, 2009, the
IRA charitable rollover allowed taxpayers age 70½ or
older to direct up to $100,000 annually from their
individual retirement accounts to eligible charities,
such as St. George’s without having to count the
distribution as income for tax purposes.
As usual, any charitable contributions must be received
or mailed on or before Friday, Dec. 31, 2010.
Thanks for your support of the Nave Renovations
efforts and enjoy the new and revitalized spaces.

Inclusive: Everyone is gifted.
Flexible: Gifts, and our passion to grow and use them,

Tied to authenticity and passion: God did not put us

The concept of spiritual gifts is rooted in the New
Testament. Perhaps the most well-known references
are the lists of gifts in Ephesians 4: "Some would be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some
pastors and teachers..." as well as I Corinthians 12:7,
which states, "To each has been given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good."
"We cannot be ourselves unless we are true to our gifts." - Elizabeth

Looking for a way to start off the new year? St.
George’s Pilgrim’s class may be the ticket. The classes
are designed for those who are new to St. George’s or
the Episcopal Church. For those who went through a
confirmation class way back when, those who have
never been to church, those who haven’t thought much
about faith at all, those who are always seeking and
those who are beginning to wonder but aren’t quite
sure.
We welcome everyone and invite
you to ask, to challenge, to
probe, to think, to feel and to
identify perhaps for the first
time – what you believe and how
to give expression to that
belief.
Pilgrims will meet twice a month
on Saturday from 9-12 pm,
beginning January 8.

St. George’s is blessed with a fine group of young
people who are not the future of our church—they are
our church. These youth give life and vibrancy and
flare to our congregation. They are energetic, mature,
passionate, and kind hearted. They embody the slogan
of St. George’s, which is to grow into Christ and reach
out in love. The work our youth have done to enrich
their own spiritual lives as well as the lives of those
around them both in our community and the world at
large is impressive. I am honored to work with these
young people. Here is to a wonderful new year in Youth
Formation!
As I get ready to have my second baby, Lance Roeske, a 7
year member of St. George’s will be helping with evening
youth group. I will make myself as available as I can be,
though Lance has all my confidence to continue to offer
youth events and lead our young people in their faith life.
Lance currently works as a Program Manager and had
taught High School English for five years and misses it
dearly. Many of you know him and his family, wife Sarah
and children Ethan and Bella. Before helping with our
teenagers, Lance taught children’s Sunday School with
Carey and Gay for four years. Lance says that, his “life
path was to work with youth” and he is excited about this
opportunity to work with our St. George’s young people.
Please say hello to Lance as you see him around.
An Interview with Aidan Bryant
Each first Sunday of the
month, our youth group
heads down the street to
Hughes Home Assisted
Living Facility. We offer
different events for the
residents there, we have
brought our pets, brought
theatre, brought games, but mostly we try to bring
love. Please read the following to learn more about our
work at Hughes Home.
Anna: “Aiden Bryant is an 8th grader and active
member of our congregation. Aiden, tell us about the
first time you went to Hughes Home.”
Aidan: ”I didn’t have a very enjoyable experience
because I kinda kept to myself and didn’t talk to the
elderly. It wasn’t scary but I think it [felt] a little
awkward being only 13 years old [in a room with] all
these elderly people.”
Anna: “Now that you’ve been a few times do you feel
differently about visiting?”
Aidan: “It is a lot easier to interact with them now
that I have gotten used to it. That being (Con’t on Pg. 9)
8
(Con’t from Pg. 8) said, the last time we went (Dec. 5)
was a much more enjoyable experience.”
Anna: “Why was this last visit better?”
Aidan: “In a way I guess [because] I made connections
with an elderly person.”
Anna: “Tell me about this person.”
Aidan: “Her name is Elizabeth F.”
Anna: “Was it difficult to connect with her or to get
her to open up?”
Aidan: “It was a lot harder that it would seem because
sometimes she didn’t always understand the questions
I was asking or I couldn’t understand what she was
trying to tell me. Elizabeth didn’t seem to particularly
want to have a conversation, but she didn’t mind
answering questions about herself.”
Anna: “What kind of things did you talk about?”
Aidan: “We mostly talked about what she did growing
up and where she lived and what some of her favorite
things were.”
Anna: “Do you think it’s important to make connections
with the residents?”
Aidan: “I think you can learn something valuable that
could help you understand something [else in life]. Plus
it can never hurt to know a little more about the
elderly. At the same time it gives the elderly people
another happy memory. I do enjoy getting to learn
about the people there and the things they did when
they were my age. Next time I will definitely get to
know more of the elderly, not talk to just one.”
Anna: “Great work Aidan!
DC Gay Men’s Chorus in Concert on February 19
An Interview with Grace Schwartz
Anna: “Tell me about your
experiences visiting Hughes Home.”
Grace: “It wasn’t scary, but I kind
of felt bad for the people there
because they all seemed like they
were giving up. I talked to a lot of
the residents, but I didn’t really
make any connections. I might bond
more with the lady I played Bingo
with when we go again.”
Anna: “What kind of things did you talk about with
her?”
Grace: “We talked about her childhood and her
friends, what kind of work she did and some of her
hobbies. I had to ask her to repeat herself because I
didn’t quite understand her.”
Anna: “Do you think it’s important to make connections
with the residents?”
Grace: “Yes because most of the people there seemed
as if they were giving up on their life. Making
connections with them would help because I think when
they saw us they got excited and will be eager to talk
[next time we visit]. I am glad we go because they have
interesting stories. I like hearing about their lives, all
of their friends and places they’ve been. The woman I
met, Nancy L., taught me you definitely cannot judge a
book by its cover.”
Anna: “Thanks Grace, great work!”
St. George’s Integrity Circle and Fredericksburg Pride
are co-hosting a performance by Potomac Fever, a 13
voice a cappella close harmony pop ensemble of the Gay
Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC. The concert will be
in our Nave on Saturday evening, February 19.
This is another wonderful opportunity for our
community of faith to live into our ministry of
hospitality. Please speak with Sherry Newman or
Sandy Kenyon for more information. Our EfM group,
mentored by Peggy Marshall and Gay Rahn, has
graciously offered to host the reception in Sydnor Hall
following the concert.

Children’s Formation
A Little Theology
We want our children to know scripture. We want to
share with them the stories of our faith. But to have
them discuss theology?
Over the past month our children have been discussing
the prophecies of Isaiah, the stories of the
annunciation and visitation and the call of the Magi.
Marcus Borg, a renowned theologian who will be with us
in March, says that the birth stories are the entire
Christian gospel in miniature. “Get it, and you get

everything; miss it and you miss it all.” Why would God A HUGE Thank You to all 
place his son in the simplest setting possible? Why the Parents who helped 
would God announce the birth to shepherds, the
homeless of their time? Why did God call the Magi? make our Christmas Eve 
What gifts did they bring? What gift will we give the Pageant 
Christ child? Who knew so much could be discussed by
ones so young? So very special for all!

St. George’s and the Civil War
Part 4 - Parishioners in the Fray
Even before forces
clashed at
Fredericksburg, we
were close enough
to the early battles
in central Virginia
to have an effect
on life here.
Confederate troops
were garrisoned
here and
Rev. Alfred M. Randolph
unfortunately fell
victim to disease. Minutes from a City Council meeting on
Nov. 1, 1861, record how a section of the city-owned
Potter’s Field cemetery for indigents would be set aside
“as a burying ground, exclusively for the remains of
soldiers of the Army, and of such white persons, as their
friends may wish to inter there.” The Confederate
section was equal to the cemetery’s length along Barton
Street and ran back 100 feet from the street. From Oct.
1861 to March, 1862 St. George’s rector Alfred M.
Randolph conducted burials for 51 confederate soldiers
buried in this cemetery.
Prior to the main battle on December 13, 1862, there
were two distinct periods of federal occupation and
incidents that involved the Church and some of its
parishioners. The earliest thrust that involved
Fredericksburg occurred as the Federals mounted the
Peninsula campaign to try to take Richmond from the east.
Union forces under General Irwin McDowell advanced to
Fredericksburg as the Federal forces under General
McClellan were advancing on Richmond. On April 18, 1862
the Confederates set fire to the bridges and military
stores to delay the advance. Mayor Slaughter called an
emergency session of Council. The following were
appointed to confer with them: Mayor Slaughter, William
A. Little, Thomas Barton, Dr. J. Gordon Wallace, Rev
William F. Broaddus D.D. and Governor John L. Marye.
(Barton and Slaughter were members of St. George’s and
possibly William Little) They were instructed to inform
McDowell that the Confederate forces having evacuated,
the town would offer no resistance, but that the
population was loyal to the Confederate government. This
possibly saved the town from destruction at the time.
The town fell to the Union army on April 19, 1862. Jane
Beal in her diary reported:
“Fredericksburg is a captured town, the enemy took
possession of the Stafford hills (across the Rappahannock
River from the town) on Friday the 18th, and their guns
have frowned down upon us ever since. It is painfully
humiliating to feel one's self a captive, but all sorrow for
self is now lost in the deeper feeling of anxiety for our
army, for our cause, we have lost everything, regained
nothing, our army has fallen back before the superior
forces of the enemy until but a small strip of our dear
Old Dominion is left to us, our sons are all in the field and
we who are now in the hands of the enemy cannot even
hear from them.”
The Union forces completed a canal boat bridge by May 2,
a pontoon bridge by May 5 and established telegraph
communications. The federals setup their headquarters at
Chatham and at the Farmers’ Bank directly across from
St. George’s. By May 19th the Rappahannock was again
opened to railroad traffic.
McDowell’s policy was to treat local citizens with dignity
and to punish his soldiers that disobeyed him which
reduced tensions. (This contrasts with the situation after
the Battle of Fredericksburg later in the year). Probably
their worst enemy was the white females who dealt with
them “by the most insulting, odious, aggravating, indecent
and unladylike language and deportment.”
A Union Colonel attended May 18, 1862 services at St.
George’s and noted that Rev. Alfred M. Randolph skipped
the prayer for the US President (though he also did not
include the President of the CS which was attributed to
the fact that union soldiers were attending). He
conducted services through November 17, 1862. Church
life was probably not normal. Local resident Betty
Herndon Maury notes in her diary a sudden closure of the
Church on a Friday, May 16 without explanation. As she
noted later, “the town is intensely Yankee and looks like
never had been anything else.”
Change was in the air with runaway slaves and soldiers
coming in between citizens and these people. Betty
Herndon Maury describes the scene: “Runaway Negroes
from the country around continue to come in every day. It
is a curious and pitiful sight to see the foot sore and
weary looking cornfield hands with their packs on their
backs and handkerchiefs tied over their heads, men,
women, little children and babies coming in gangs and
often twenty at a time. They all look (con’t on pg 13)
12
(con’t from page 12) nervous and unhappy. Many of them
are sent to the North.”
By the end of May both Jefferson Davis and Abraham
Lincoln had visited Fredericksburg. The situation changed
after the Seven Days Battles around Richmond when
General McClellan was superseded by General John Pope
who reversed McDowell’s policies. They would live off the
land taking supplies from the enemy and arrested civilians
who refused to take the oath of allegiance to the US.
The Confederates retaliated that all commissioned
officers taken prisoner should not be treated as
prisoners of war but placed in irons and held hostage in
retaliation for Confederates arrested.
The most famous incident during his time was the Federal
arrest of 19 prominent citizens of Fredericksburg who
were sent to Old Capital Prison in Washington DC in
August, 1862. They were arrested in retaliation for the
Confederate imprisonment of seven federals for
disloyalty and were confined in prison in Richmond. 6 of
the 19 were members of St. George’s which had the most
members of any Church from those arrested: 1. Thomas
Knox 2. John Coakley 3. Dr. James Cooke 4. John F.
Scott 5. Montgomery Slaughter 6. Thomas B. Barton.
(We looked briefly at these men’s backgrounds in a prior
part of this series).
Two others John Berrey and George H. C. Rowe kept
diaries which are valuable. They were sent to Old Capitol
Prison in Washington by boat. This prison was neither an
Andersonville nor a minimum security facility. Sanitary
conditions were no worse than other prisons of the time
but the prisoners were bothered by lice and bed-bugs and
bad smelling food. Generally the relations were courteous
and some of the rules bent such as being able for the 19
to meet together. The diaries note lots of wine drunk and
many practical jokes played on each other that allowed
them to keep their spirits high. As Rowe notes, he saw
John Coakley once “wore a handkerchief pinned around his
waist, in short sleeves and slippers, the very picture of a
quarrelsome old maid”
They even met up with famed spy Belle Boyd.
After being in prison for four weeks they procured a
parole and permission to send two of their members to
Richmond to get the release of two of the federals which
was done. The Federals then changed their minds and
asked for two other federals to be released which took
two more weeks and required the two to be shown in
Washington before they would release the
“Fredericksburg 19.”
Due to the Confederate victory at 2nd Manassas in August
and the advance of the Confederates into Maryland,
Fredericksburg was evacuated on August 21, 1862 with
two bridges blown up.
The situation heated up again after General Ambrose
Burnsides was appointed by Lincoln on November 7, 1862
to relieve McClellan and command 115,000 troops.
Opposing Burnside was a Confederate army of 78,000 men
led by Lee but divided between Longstreet in Culpeper
and Stonewall Jackson across the Blue Ridge.
One possibility was that Burnside would move against
Longstreet. However, Burnsides thought that even if he
defeated him the Confederates would retreat to a new
line around Richmond and get stronger and repeat the
fiasco of the battles around Richmond earlier in 1862. He
was also concerned about his supply line in the process.
With this in mind the new commander determined to shift
his army to Fredericksburg, and advanced toward
Richmond by way of the Richmond, Fredericksburg &
Potomac Railroad. The Fredericksburg route had much to
recommend it. It would keep Burnside closer to the Union-
controlled rivers, thereby making it easier and safer to
supply his army; it kept him between Lee’s army and
Washington, and it got him away from Jackson’s menacing
presence. The drawback was crossing the river – 400
feet in width at times. No bridges were available. The
solution was to employ pontoon bridges but these had
been left back in Berlin, MD.
The Federals began reaching Fredericksburg by
November 17. They issued an order demanding the
surrender of the city, complaining that shots had been
fired on the federals and also complaining that mills and
factories as well as the railroads had been supplying the
Confederates. Even without a surrender all non-
combatants would be ordered to leave the city between 9
pm Nov 21 and 5 am the following morning. St. Georgian
and Mayor Montgomery Slaughter conferring with the
Confederate forces with St. Georgian W. S. Scott and
Samuel S. Howison, delivered the message the
Confederate troops would not occupy the town, and
neither would they permit the Federal troops to do so and
the shots fired were the acts of the troops and not the
town. He did not refer to Lee’s actions to consolidate
troops on the west side of town.
Rev. Randolph left the city with wife and a day old baby.
He later entered the confederate forces in 1863 as a
chaplain and served with Jackson’s former corps. He
never returned to St. George’s. Meanwhile the pontoon
bridges had not arrived and the delay allowed Lee to bring
his forces into Fredericksburg. The conflict would begin
by December 11 and involve St. George’s, the subject of
the next installment of this series.

God and Country Awards

On November 14th, six youth from St. George’s received
the Episcopal Church’s God & Country awards for work they
completed earlier this year. The award has 4 levels of
achievement based on a youth’s school grade: God & Me
(grade 1-3), God & Family (4-5), God & Church (6-8), and
God & Life (9-12). As would be expected, each level you
move up gets more involved in what you will learn and what
is expected of the student. For example, the God & Me
students learn about the creation story, that Jesus is their
best friend and they memorize the Lord’s Prayer. In God &
Left to right: Cameron Moore, Samantha Moore, Sarah Kamei, Family, the students learn how families are like pizza

(really!) and meet several families in the Bible. They learn
the 10 Commandments. God & Church delves into the history of both St. George’s and the Anglican/Episcopal Church
along with its sacraments and services. They must also learn the Nicene Creed. Each program lasted about 6 weeks
and the parents were great mentors to the youth.
Earning the awards were: God & Me: Samantha Moore and Sarah Kamei. God & Family: Cameron Moore, Alex and Paul
Vaughan. God & Church: Bonnie Kamei. Their coach was Trip Wiggins and all were presented to the Rev. Gay Rahn who
examined and approved their awards. Congrats to all. If others are interested in this award, please contact Trip at
