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 St. Georgian

“Growing into Christ + Reaching out in Love”

Volume 11/Issue 2 St. George’s Episcopal Church February 2011

February Highlights

February 5 - Saturday Night Supper, Merediths February 6 – Youth Sunday &

Souper Bowl of Caring February 6 – Simplicity of Prayer, Leah Rampy

February 19 – DC Gay Men’s Chorus, Potomac Fever February 20 – Chamber Concert Series,

St. George’s Chamber Orchestra February 26 – Catechesis Workshop

The Simplicity of Prayer – February 6

February 6, 9:55 am, Sydnor Hall Guest speaker Leah Rampy, Executive Director of Shalem Institute, Washington, D.C.

It is often said that prayer is “A lifting-up of my heart and mind to God and at the same time a going-down deep into myself and finding God there.”

Drawing on her experience with the practice of many spiritual traditions, Leah will offer spiritual “exercises” and teaching, not to preach, but to evoke our own first-hand awareness about the realities of our souls. She will teach us about our identity in God, an intimate, immediate relationship that is not an esoteric one meant for the few. It is our deepest human home and calling.

Leah Rampy has been an active participant in Shalem programs for the past ten years, is a graduate of both the Personal Spiritual Deepening and Deepening Contemplative Leadership Programs, and has served as adjunct faculty for several programs. She is a former member of Shalem’s Board of Directors. Leah is member of Lewinsville Presbyterian Church, is an ordained elder and deacon, and frequently teaches and leads retreats.

DC Gay Men’s Chorus – February 19th

The concert will be in our Nave on Saturday evening, February 19th at 7:30 (doors open at 7:00 pm).

The D.C Gay Men’s Chorus is one of the oldest and largest LGBT choral groups in the United States with more than 255 members. The goal of the D.C Gay Men’s Chorus is ”to affirm the gay experience and promote a culture of diversity through musical and performance excellence”.

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. A reception in Sydnor Hall will follow the concert. -Sherry Newman

Marcus Borg – March 13-14

Clergy Corner

Retreat Forward! Beloved, Since coming to Fredericksburg, January is always a very full month for me: Vestry Retreat, Annual Council of the Diocese of Virginia, and preparing to leave on my annual Continuing Education time at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. All of this happens during the season of Epiphany. In this season, we are reminded that we are to live as the Light of the world. It’s not about us! It’s about giving our lives in the service of others. Ancient phrases from Morning Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer speak to God in “whose service is perfect freedom” and “that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to thy service.” On our recent Vestry Retreat, even as we focused on our deep commitment to Outreach and World Mission, we shared conversation and prayer about our need to offer more teaching & support for personal-individual spiritual growth and more opportunities for people to participate in small groups. These groups will have a 4-fold focus on spiritual reflection, mutual support, prayer and service. Service to the world that is not rooted in ongoing spiritual transformation will not last. Prayer and worship that does not lead to service is not authentic worship and prayer. As you continue to respond to Gay’s invitation to consider what gift you are willing to offer to the Christ Child this Epiphany, pray about your gifts for service…

and then speak with Carey, Gay, me or any member of the Vestry about how you might respond to God’s call in your life. Remember, when your greatest passion and the world’s greatest need intersect, you will find the joy you have always desired. May Christ, who is the Light of the world, be manifest in you that your life may be a light! Joyfully, Jim James C. Dannals Rector

really believe? Join us for coffee and wonderful discussions.

Sydnor Hall @ 9:55 am

The Simplicity of Prayer Led by Leah Rampy February 6

If you've ever wanted to know more about contemplative living and leadership, please come hear Leah Rampy, the executive director of The Shalem Institute, share information about Shalem. She will explain what the organization offers in terms of classes and support as well as lead us in a contemplative prayer. (See more info about Leah on front page.)

Praying on Line Led by Gay Rahn & Susie Carter February 13 The one thing a clenched fist can't do is to accept the helping hand. — Frederick Buechner quoted in Credo by William Sloane Coffin To Practice This Thought: Be open to someone else's support and generosity. People are hungry for prayer as well as engagement in community. Yearning to seek and find, they’re knocking on virtual doors that open into real experiences of faith lived out in the secular world. There are many sites (websites, podcasts, and videos) that use online technologies and tools to provide prayer, as well as community, for people of faith–and those who yearn to be. Join Susie and Gay as they begin an ongoing conversation about what it means to be “church” these days.

Digital Footprints Led by Susie Morgan February 20 Do you wonder what your children are doing online? Do you wonder where all that information you put online goes? Our new digital world mean parents, teachers and students must all know how to use technology appropriately and safely. We leave digital footprints, a trail left online by our technology use. How can we better understand how this affects us and our families? How can we leave a positive footprint?

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Led by Rebekah Rojcewicz February 27 (see more info on Rebekah on page 6)

Faulkner Hall @ 9:55 am

Marcus Borg: Theologian or Heretic? Led by Russ Carter, PhD. February 6 & 13 TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Led by St. George’s Parishioners February 20 & 27

TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Today, TED is therefore best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all. Lectures to be announced.

ECW (Episcopal Church Women) makes Christmas Come True! Our ECW (both Avis Harris and Mary Faulkner chapters) played Santa this year for our refugee family and made more than a few dreams come true. Moise, six years old and born in Tanzania refugee camp,

told us that ‘Santa doesn’t come to children like me.’ This year the Episcopal Churchwomen changed Moise’s mind about that!

Letter from Jean Fils Dear Carey, I am very happy presenting you Notre Dame Parish and School. So, you can share it with your congregation. Paroisse Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation is an old church for 50 years. That is one of the oldest parishes of the Episcopal Church in the area of Port-au-Prince which is located in one of the poorest zone in the country. Even though that community is confronting so many difficulties (health care, accessibility, poverty) it remains as a living community in faith. It also provides several priests to serve actually the diocese of Haiti. The Church is located in an area that is so many challenging for the members: No accessibility, the front of the church is occupied by merchants; there is always water along the street where the church is located. It’s so difficult for the church members to get in. The congregation has so many youngsters. Many of them have finished High School (secondary school). However, because of their economic problems, they can’t go to college (university), they are gifted with talents. That’s why the parish would like to begin a program that can help them to have a profession. That program will interest not only the youngsters at the church but also those in the community. The tragedy of January 12 has seriously damaged the building of the church. We have been worshipping under the tents. Paroisse Notre Dame de l’Annonciation, Episcopal Church of Haiti, is very delighted to inform you that it has with so many difficulties a primaray school for 7 years in the area of Martissant, one of the poorest areas of the country. That school has been created in order to assist pastorally the kids at the church and those around confronting tremendous difficulties to go to school. However, the school itself has been confronting many

problems. The parents can’t pay for the children and the school can’t pay the teachers either. In addition to that, there is a serious need in the area. Most of the kids there are malnourished kids. Prior to that, the church is seeking all over ways to reach

out those malnourished kids in the area. Some generous people have already joined us in provinding something like milk. However, we don’t have any ways to control the progression of those kids. This is why we would like to build a clinic there which will allow to provide health not only to the kids and those in need but also to control malnourished kids in the program of the nutrition. So, we are seeking all kind of support from those who would be willing to choose either the school for kids or to give money to provide health care to the kids. One can choose to do both: Give money to pay the school and take care of the kids. Hoping that this program will get your attention, Notre Dame de l’Annonciation/ Episcopal Church of Haiti promises you its sincere collaboration and asks you to receive its greetings. Révérend Père Jean Fils CHÉRY, Th.M Eglise Episcopale d’Haiti/communion Anglicane

From Larry Duffee in Sudan By the time you read this the referendum to decide whether the people of southern Sudan will remain unified with the north or separate to create the 55th African nation will be complete and the preliminary results announced. The only thing remaining will be a period to allow for challenges to disputed votes before the final results are announced in mid-February. The referendum has been amazing to experience and I am so happy that I was able to be here throughout the voting process to witness these historic events. I was even more happy that part of my work with the Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS) included being highly active in promoting peace and unity amongst the people of the South in anticipation of the vote, and that I was able to help plan, fund and organize the referendum education efforts carried out by our dioceses to help the people of the South understand the voting process. Before the referendum began on January 9th there were many predictions of violence and instability within Sudan during the voting period. Many ex-expatriates and NGO staff members left Juba which took on more the appearance of a ghost town at times. I live with another missionary from the Episcopal Church-US and three British citizens, all of us working for the ECS. From conversations we had with security experts we learned that the best thing we could do in the event of civil unrest was stay at home. To that end we filled a spare room with sacks of beans and rice and jerry-cans of water along with of other supplies in case we needed to stay-in for a while. We also designated our “safe area,” a part of the house that was away from windows in case things got really bad. Fortunately, thus far, all of the predictions of gloom have not come true. The people of Sudan have given an amazing example to the world of how a people can vote peacefully. I had the opportunity repeatedly over the voting period to visit polling centers and I was

continually impressed by how patient and with what courage and determination the people of Sudan took to the polls. I even had the opportunity to meet and shake the hand of former US President Jimmy Carter when he and his wife Roslyn visited one of the polling centers as part of their effort to ensure a credible referendum. I remained in Sudan over the Christmas period because I wanted to experience being in Africa for

Christmas. I did take a ten day holiday through Kenya and Tanzania in mid-December, winding my way by train, boat and bus from Nairobi to Mombasa, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam before flying back to Juba just before

Christmas. Christmas and New Year's in Juba was quiet and nice, though it felt odd to be so far away from family and

friends during the holidays. My work for the ECS continues to be satisfying, especially as we try and rework entirely the way the finances have been managed into a better, more accurate system. I think this is going to be one of those projects that is difficult to establish but which will yield great results in the long run. I will also be teaching two courses at the Bishop Gwynne Theological College this semester. The first course will be an introduction to basic mathematics and finances for the first year students, and the second will be on financial management of parishes for the third year students, nearly all of whom if not already parish priests shortly will be after graduation. This will be the first time I have ever taught classes so I am approaching it with a little nervousness. I continue to be thankful to my fellow St. Georgians, so many of whom sent prayers and well wishes for me and the people of Sudan during the referendum period. Believe me, your prayers are greatly felt and appreciated. –Larry Duffee

December 11, 1862 would directly bring St. George’s into the hostilities of the Civil War. It was that day that the Church became a fortress against an advancing Union line coming from Stafford. Located prominently on a hill overlooking key streets to the north, the Church provided a wonderful location for soldiers to view approaching advances and as a base to deploy forces against the Union. St. George’s played a role as Confederate stronghold late in the day. The delay created by the Confederates provided General Robert E. Lee time to consolidate his forces on Marye’s Heights for a battle to take place 2 days later. The hero of the day was General William Barksdale whose headquarters was at Market Square, today a part of the Fredericksburg Area Museum next door to St. George’s.

This day is not as well known as the main day of battle, December 13th but there were a number of firsts. The Federals on the 11th created the first bridgehead landing secured under fire. The unorthodox fighting by the Confederate forces hiding in homes and other shelters contributed to the first case of street fighting known in North America. This along with the Federal bombardment by just under 150 guns created destruction in Fredericksburg that would foreshadow on a smaller scale of World War II after the D Day invasion. Over 9,000 shells were lobbed in the city.

The map above from Frank O’Reilly’s excellent book on Fredericksburg shows that the action around St. George’s starting with one of 3 pontoon crossings, in this case the one at Hawke Street (“Upper Pontoon

Crossing”) with severe fighting along Fauquier and Hawke (east to west location) and Sophia, Caroline and Princess Anne (north to south).

Fredericksburg's defenders included approximately 16,000 men of Brigadier General William Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade deployed close to the river. With the threat of imminent combat, many of the town's residents had previously evacuated their homes and fled to safety. By the day of battle, the Confederates had constructed rifle pits and knocked loopholes in river front homes. They fought in groups of 5 to 10 men that could move quickly. They depended on both speed and surprise to handle a much larger enemy.

The Union forces goal beginning after 5am was to get across the river and move to confront the Confederates just west of town. The first strategy was the landing of engineers to construct the pontoon bridges. Fog hampered their task. Also, four elements from Col John Fiser’s 17th Mississippi reinforced by the 8th Florida provided the sniping that made their task all but impossible. When the Federal assault failed through devastating loss of life of key engineers, Henry Hunt of the Federal shifted strategy to establish a “beach head” by crossing the men over in boats and the artillery effectively to concentrate bridgeheads and drive CS underground. A ferocious Union bombardment began around 12:30pm with over 150 cannon line along Stafford Heights. After two hours between twenty-five and forty buildings were badly burned. Still, over the day, the Confederates had delayed the Federal crossing for 8 hours until approximately 2:30pm.

A Union artillerist describes a companion soldier’s attempt to destroy St. George’s clock:

“An officer of...[another] battery...remarked that the first shot he put into the city should pass through the clock; in fact, he proposed to breach the wail in such a way that the clock would fall'-into the body of the church. He explained that he felt impelled to this act though a sense of predestined responsibility....

As many guns as could be brought to bear opened upon the city with a murderous, deafening roar. Remembering the threat against the tower and clock...I watched through a glass for their destruction, but the hands still moved on.... (con’t on page 11)

10

(con’t from page 10) Asking my friend...why he had failed in his threatened demolition...he replied that he watched the first shot he fired at it flying, as he thought, straight for the mark, but that before reaching the dial the shell visibly swerved to the right and only clipped a comer of the tower. The second shot was never aimed at the clock at all. He said he experienced such a change of feeling that nothing could have induced him to harm it.”

The heroes on the Federal side using this alternate strategy were the 7th Michigan. The crossing began shortly after 3 p.m. Under the cover of a heavy Union bombardment, two companies of the 7th Michigan readied boats along the Stafford shore. When the firing stopped, the soldiers dashed from their places of concealment along the riverbank, shoved the 31-foot-long pontoon boats into the water, and began rowing and poling. They arrived at the shore and were able to establish a skirmish line and after being reinforced by the 19th Massachusetts and captured 31 prisoners established a toehold on Sophia Street. The 20th Massachusetts was deployed on their right. The pontoon boats continued to ferry back and forth across the river with additional reinforcements, enabling Hall to solidify his grip on the town. Down river the middle pontoon, near city docks at 3PM federals were able to get across the river.

The Confederates were anything but through. Fiser’s 17th Mississippi had to fall back to Caroline and took up new positions in the backyards between Sophia and Caroline Street. They concentrated fire on head of Hawke Street and kept 7th Michigan from the crown of hill.

Fiser’s Confederates hid in attics, chamber, and cellars along the east side of Caroline Street. The confederates would conceal themselves in a cellar or attic, wait for the Union soldiers to pass, then shoot at them from the rear. Bullets seemed to come from all directions from an invisible foe. The Miss allowed the Federals enter the yards leading to Caroline Street before they loosed volley in faces. Still, the 19th Mass and 7th Michigan were able to move to Caroline Fiser pulled back turning his left flank However, CS counterattacked on 19th Mass by the 13th Miss and drove them back towards the river. The federals would be able to retake the lost ground by the valiant action of the 20th Mass after 4pm. At orders from Hall, the regiment, 307 strong, advanced down Hawke Street in a lengthy column that according to historian Donald Pfanz “had the appearance and function of a human battering ram.” While this happened, 19th Mass crept through the backyards to

reclaim hold on Caroline. They climbed fences, breaking into backdoors of houses.

The massed body of men, hemmed in by houses on the left and right, made a perfect target for Barksdale’s soldiers. When the head of the regiment reached Caroline Street, the Confederates unleashed a torrent of fire that staggered the regiment and nearly annihilated the leading platoon. Nevertheless, the regiment pressed ahead.

The Confederates were gradually able to fall back as Barksdale aimed to consolidate his forces around Market Square. By now the pontoon bridges had been completed, and Hall’s remaining regiments charged across, extending the Union line as far south as William Street. At the same time, a second Union brigade crossed the Rappahannock at the lower end of town, at the modern city dock, and threatened to turn the Confederates’ flank.

By 6pm the 21st Mississippi lay on parallel streets – one company held foot of William Street while another moved to George Street to right. A 3rd company held Sophia Street between them. The Confederates on higher ground on William Street had direct view of the approaching federals. Confederates had fired on the 20th Massachusetts which drew attention to them on William Street. The brief firefight occurred on William. Barksdale thought routed federals but they were only regrouping. Mississippians on William Street exposing those on Sophia

The 106th Pennsylvania led the Union advance south along Sophia Street toward the junction of Sophia Street and William Street, supported by the 72nd Pennsylvania and 42nd New York and surprised the Confederates. They moved to Caroline plunged into unsuspecting flank of. 21st Miss and trapped 21 prisoners and forced them to retire to Princess Anne Street. The action moved to St. George’s. As O’Reilly writes “Mississippians entered houses and fired from windows commanding William and George Street. Some of the Confederates took over Saint George’s Episcopal Church and probably the Presbyterian Church for a clear shot down George Street.”

With darkness stealing over the contested town, Barksdale decided that he had done enough. He ordered his men to fall back to the main Confederate line, located on Marye’s Heights. The Confederate main task had been successful but in an enormous cost to the town. -Ben Hicks

“Woman of Distinction”

Grace Anne Braxton was one of two members of the UMW community who was recognized as “Women of Distinction” in September by the Girl Scout Commonwealth Council of Virginia. Grace Anne was

given an exceptional award for exemplifying courage. A Special Olympian since 1985, Braxton has worked for Sodexho at UMW for 15 years. A swimmer and bowler, Braxton has a passion for golf. She was born with an intellectual disability, something she said has been a struggle, but she has excelled at sports. Braxton was named Special Olympics Virginia athlete of the year in 1992 and won the

2005 Special Olympics national golf championship. The 1990 James Monroe High School

graduate was featured on the cover of Virginia Golfer Magazine in 2006, and in 2007 she traveled to Shanghai, China, for the Special Olympics World Summer Games. She returned to her hometown of Fredericksburg with the gold medal in golf. This year she won a second gold medal in golf at the Special Olympics USA National Games in Lincoln, Neb., and she got a hole-in-one at the Fredericksburg Country Club.

Next summer, Braxton will jet off to Athens, Greece, to compete for Team Virginia in the World Summer Games. (University of Mary Washington Magazine – Fall/Winter 2010)
