 Happy Easter

St. George’s Staff

From the Senior Warden
As the last remnants of this winter’s snowstorms melt
away, opportunities for enriching our lives have been
popping up like daffodils in March.
Over the past few days, I have:
--Heard our bishop, Shannon Johnston, talk eloquently
about his hopes for dealing with the human sexuality
controversies that have often divided the Episcopal
Church.
--Listened to the singers of Westminster Choir College
of Princeton, N.J., as pristine voices resonated through
an acoustically blessed space.
--Joined others in Lenten prayer sessions that allow us
to be together while building personal connections to
God.
--Gotten to know people I see on the streets of
Fredericksburg who welcome the opportunity to sample
turkey, potatoes and peas at a Community Dinner.
--Expanded my knowledge of the Orthodox Church,
while listening to a member of a Russian congregation
demonstrate the chanting liturgies of her church.
Where have I found all these wonderful events? You
guessed it—St. George’s Episcopal Church.
Episcopal Church Women (ECW)
Avis Harris ECW
The Avis Harris ECW will meet
Wednesday, April 28 at 7:00
p.m. at Everything Gardening,
1006 Caroline St., downtown
Fredericksburg. Owner Jane Guerin will
provide demonstrations on flower arranging
and offer tips on planting containers and
gardening tools. A brief business meeting will
also be held. All ladies of St. George's are
welcome to join in this fun event.
Our calling as Christians demands
that we go out in the world to
serve others. We can’t fulfill our responsibilities by
simply sitting in a pew. But I sometimes wonder if
parishioners take full advantage of the wondrous
opportunities for outreach, prayer and worship that
occur right under out roof at 905 Princess Anne St.
They’re listed in our monthly newsletter (e-mail and
print versions) and our weekly Weekender (by e-mail).
Have you tried the enchanting Celtic service at 5:30
p.m. on Sundays? How about the adult forums every
Sunday morning in Sydnor Hall at 9:55 a.m., where we
learned recently about the Orthodox Church? Have you
helped out at one of our third- or fourth-Monday
Community Dinners in Sydnor Hall?
If anyone needs evidence that living into your faith can
be fun, they should drop by St. George’s. You’ll love the
music. You’ll be engrossed by the discussions. You’ll be
moved by the prayers. Who knows, you may even
change your life.

Conversation with Amy Bogardus
We are offering a monthly series of conversations with
parishioners about how they first came to St. George’s -
and what keeps them coming back. This month we are
featuring Amy Bogardus, our nursery supervisor.
What brought you here? Originally it was my dad being
transferred to Dahlgren and he enjoyed this church, so he
brought his family when I was 16. He noticed that the
nursery was asking for volunteers and so I volunteered one
Sunday and here I am! I have been at St. George’s for 12
years.
Integrity Congregational Circle
Integrity’s April meeting will be held on Sunday, April
18, 2010 at 6:30 pm (immediately following the Celtic
Service) in Sydnor Hall. We will be watching and
discussing the documentary “Anyone and Everyone.” In
this documentary, parents of LGBT children discuss
their experiences, including struggles with the pain
they have seen their children encounter due to fear
and prejudice.
For two Sundays on either side of Earth Day (April 22) the
Adult Forum will focus on the Stewardship of Creation.

Beate Jensen, Buildings and Grounds Preservation Supervisor
at Belmont, Gari Melchers Home and Studio. Ms. Jensen has
been responsible for the stewardship of the landscape at
Belmont. The preservation of the woodland walk, the fields
and gardens are all under her purview. In her work restoring
the landscape she has researched and located roses that
Mrs. Melchers herself grew.
April 25 -
Nick Cadwallender will talk about his love of gardening,
offering practical tips on composting, growing vegetables and
sustainable practices. Nick will help you celebrate the
creation that is in your own backyard.
What keeps you here? The nursery,
the families, children, the
congregation, everything!
What are some of the ways you’ve
deepened your connection to St. G’s?
not really sure...
How do you give back to St.
George’s? I give back by providing food to the food shelter,
try to give parents a night out once in a while, and just
helping where I can help.
As a reminder, Integrity is not solely a group for LGBT
persons-all, and we do mean ALL, are welcome to
attend! Please join us at our next meeting!

Youth Happenings
I want to recognize our youth who participated in
Palm Sunday and Holy Week. I am sure all you were
impressed with the acting skills of Hannah Cannon, Eric
Babbie, Marian and John Schwartz, Becca and Maddie
Stroud-Bryant, and Emily Higginbotham as they performed
an interpretation of the Liturgy of the Palms on Palm Sunday.
Equally impressive, the musical talent of David and Drew
Brunson who play in the Jazz ensemble, and Ragon Dickard
and Marian Schwartz who play in the Chamber ensemble.
Their dedication and talent is inspiring. Well done!
Throughout March our youth were able to enjoy
social time as well as participate in outreach. Both the Rite
13 and J2A groups helped bag lunches for Micah, as well as
donated their Lock-In breakfast to Micah. Our Rite 13 group
is beginning what they hope will turn into a long-term service
project for Haitian children. The R13ers spent two Sundays
learning about what life was like in Haiti for children before
the earthquake and what life is like after. They also learned
about using business and marketing tools as they plan this
project under the guidance of Rusty Dodd. Our youth are
excited to use their gifts to help the Haitian children; we
may have some budding entrepreneurs in our midst.
The J2A group participated in a fast on March 10th
for Lent. That evening we came together with Gay Rahn, her
husband Tommy, and Larry Duffee to break the fast with
pizza and cake.
***************************************************************************************
Fred Camp
July 4-10 (Team departs from 10a.m. Sunday service;
parent pick-ups at camp 11a.m. Saturday.) FredCamp
is a community spiritual retreat—not just a work camp;
part-time camper weeks are not permitted. Youth
campers must be at least 14 years old or going into the 9th
grade and adults, age 23 and older (Team St. George’s
needs at least one adult male and one adult female
camper). With guidance and supervision from our Handy
Guys & Gals, you’ll join ecumenical work crews and perform
repairs and renovations on ten homes in Fredericksburg
and the counties of Caroline, Stafford, Spotsylvania and
King George. Total cost is $175 per participant; all
building materials/supplies, meals, daily transportation,
evening programs, planned Wednesday recreation, and
housing for the week at Fredericksburg Christian High
School are included. Spaces are limited; we’ll accept
$175 fee until full OR Sunday, April 25 (whichever
The youth also made time for some old fashioned
fun…
First we played bingo and walked to Carl’s for ice cream—it
wasn’t difficult to get the group to take the long walk
knowing what was awaiting them at the end. The group
celebrated their fundraising success on the Souper Bowl of
Caring project with a Lock-In March 19th. The lock-in was a
great event. We enjoyed dinner at Wegman’s, a scavenger
hunt through the aisles of the store—the youth had to take
pictures with their camera phones as they found the clues.
We followed Wegman’s up by seeing the 3D version of Alice
in Wonderland, then did some late night shopping at Wal-
Mart (as is lock-in tradition) before returning to church at
1am. It was a fun event, looking forward to next year’s
already! Big thanks to Anne Longerbeam, Harrison Roberts,
and Larry Duffee for being chaperones.
April will bring the first ever Spring Break at
Church, outdoor sporting and hiking activities, and more work
on service projects.
Please know that all adults are welcome and
encouraged to support our youth. We believe in the saying, “it
takes a village,” so get involved in the lives of our youth by
volunteering your time. It will pay off in ways great.

Other FredCamp opportunities: Many donations of time,
talent and treasure make Fred Camp happen every year;
there is an important ministry opportunity for everyone!
In addition to two adult campers, mentioned above, we
need: adult go-fers (many!) with cars/small pick-ups who
can spend 4 hours delivering work supplies one day (or two
or all five) during camp; one Lead “Dinner Team Angel”
to head up and recruit a few helper Angels (4-7 works
well) to plan, prepare, deliver and serve one of six Fred
Camp dinners (to feed 100); a Lead “Lunch Team Angel”
to recruit a few helper Angels to adopt one FredCamp
work site to prepare and deliver simple lunches for the
site crew on each of the five camp days; and material
expediters (several people with trucks/vans) who can
donate one half-day to pick-up supplies from Lowe’s or
storage and deliver them to camp headquarters (usually
one morning the week BEFORE camp--to be confirmed
later).

Children have had a busy Lent learning about the City
of Jerusalem from many angles. The youngest have
studied a topographical map and marked where the
Angel came to Mary, where Jesus was born and the
city where he died and rose again. The first and
second graders have studied a wonderful model of the
City of Jerusalem and traced Jesus’ last week and then
made their own city out of clay and on paper.
The oldest kids have spent months learning about our
Jewish roots and are now building a model of the Temple.
There are so many ways of knowing our sacred story. Join
us anytime!
Kids in Mission!
We have added something new this year, a mission trip
for our fourth and fifth graders. May 14th we head to
10:30 am
Richmond and Camp Hanover for a weekend of fun and
fellowship and hard work. The kids will be working in
the Giving Garden, a garden that grows food for a
pantry that will supply good fresh, organic food to 120
folks who have little access to such fresh, healthy
food. We will till and plant all day Saturday- green
beans and squash. On Sunday we will have a prayer
service of our own followed by team building on the low
ropes course. Donations of seeds are welcome and we
will have a basket handy to collect your donations.
Broadway Extravaganza
This summer we have another new
just for kids offering. During the
week of July 12-15th Becky Stewart
our children’s musician will help us pull
off a Broadway extravaganza. A little
vacation bible school, a little music, a
lot of paint and laughs. Kids ages 4
and up will produce and create sets for a full blown

Outreach
A New Ministry Begins!
Mary Ellsworth,
St. George’s volunteer
meets and greets!
The week started with phone calls. “Hello, I am Mary
from St. George’s Episcopal Church and we have some
food for you.” So began our participation as a Food for
Life partner with the area Food Bank. Food for Life is
a Brown Bag program for low-income elderly and for
those with certified disabilities living in low income
households with the mission to provide a box of
grocery products once a month to qualifying individuals.
This will be a ministry of collecting the food boxes
once a month and greeting and loving those who come
to collect.
How can you help?
Volunteers gather at the food bank on the first
Saturday each month to pack food boxes.
For more information on volunteering, contact the
Volunteer Coordinator at 540.371.7666 or email
jkishpaugh@feedingamerica.org
Food Boxes are handed out once a month and a few
need to be delivered. Can you help deliver once a
month to those city residents who are unable to pick up
their boxes?
St. George’s Volunteers Harry Jones and Chuck
Trainum arrive with the boxes
Food for Life recipient
Did you know…? The hourly wage needed to rent a two
bedroom apartment in Northern Virginia is $30.84?
And did you know that the average hourly salary of a
bus driver in Northern Virginia is $14.90, a mechanic
$19.23, a customer service representative $18.75?
And did you know that the most important difference
between a homeless family and other poor families is
access to the resources (sufficient income) to secure
housing?
We are learning. St George’s has been the site of
many daunting conversations and the beginnings of
solutions- care of the homeless led to Thurman
Brisbane Homeless Shelter, insufficient food pantries
led to the formation of the Food Bank, kids needing
someone who cared led to formation of a Big Brothers,
Big Sisters office.
Pray for those of us who are beginning to talk about
affordable housing. This is a journey and we are in it for the
long haul beginning with our current discernment phase. If
this effort speaks to you but you are not in a position to
engage currently, there will be plenty of opportunities to
engage, support, challenge, renew, relieve, dream and
instigate well into our future, not to worry. We will keep you
posted along the way. Email Carey at

World Mission Commission
It has been a busy winter for the newly formed World
Mission Commission. Here is a brief update:
 We hosted a successful six week Epiphany series
called Transformational Journeys, including
speakers representing the diocese, projects in
Indonesia, Africa, Haiti, and with the Virginia
Indians.
 Our Intergenerational Lenten Book Group met to
discuss Three Cups of Tea with local Afghani
students from UMW.
 A young adult trip is being planned for Grace
House, Appalachia, over Memorial Day weekend.
 A children’s mission trip to work in the Giving
Garden with an overnight stay at Camp Hanover is
being planned for May 15-17.
 A group is forming for a trip to Our Little Roses
in Honduras from August 3-10.
Interview with Larry Duffee
I had a chance to interview Larry Duffee, aka Duffman,
about his upcoming trip to Sudan. Duffman is an active
member of St. George’s. He helps run FredCamp in the
summer. He can often be found surrounded by teenagers
at either Sunday school, youth group, or St. George’s
Lock-ins. We will miss him, but wish him luck in his
adventures, and look forward to his return in September.
Here’s what he has to say:
Where are you going?
I will be in Juba, in the southern part of Sudan. Sudan is
the largest country in Africa with a land area about the
size of the eastern half of the US. The northern half of
Sudan is Arabic and predominantly Muslim whereas the
southern half is more African and predominantly
Christian. This difference has led to a couple of brutal
civil wars but now the two halves seem content to live
separately in peace and may even decide to divide into two
countries. The Episcopal Church of Sudan operating in the
southern, Christian area is divided into 22-dioceses and
the office in Juba provides administrative and financial
management for these dioceses.
What do you hope accomplishing by going to Sudan?
From what I have been told the staff in the office in
Juba need help organizing and administering the
accounting and finances for the dioceses they work with.
One of the biggest problems is the ability to attract
outside donations - donors typically want to know that
their donation is going to be well used and that the

Humanity Walk in Richmond on May 1, to benefit a

 Two trips to Sudan are taking place this summer
through Hope for Humanity for anyone who is
interested in participating.
 Our own Larry Duffee is leaving in May to work at

return in September.
You are welcome to join this exciting new commission!

recipients can account for how the funds were used and
right now the Juba office cannot do this. I hope to help
the staff in the Juba office develop good financial
procedures and practices so they can account for how
funds are used.
What inspired you to make this decision?
I have been working in the business world for 25-years,
including the last 15-years owning my own business in
which I handled all of my own accounting, cash
management, taxes, etc. For most of the last 15-years I
have been working 70-hour or more per week workweeks.
The last five years have been seven-day workweeks,
nearly 365-days a year. But over the last few months I
began to perceive - and I cannot explain this any other
way - a calling, literally like the voice of God saying, in
effect, "You've been doing all this work for yourself and
for others, now how about doing some work for me?" I
began to sense that maybe I could use all of this
experience that I had been given to serve a greater
purpose. I was looking for something that would use my
skills like distributing aid or helping people in less
developed countries create their own businesses. I
contacted the Episcopal Diocese in Richmond after Janice
Brunson (I think you know her) mentioned to me that a
man there - Buck Blanchard - was doing some of the very
work I was interested in doing. And it was Buck who told
me about the need in Sudan and it sounded like a good fit.
What do you think will be the hardest part of the trip
for you?
There will be a couple of different "hardest parts," on
this trip. The most obvious is just getting (con’t on pg 9)
8
(con’t from pg 8) used to life in a very poor,
underdeveloped part of the world. I'm coming from a part
of the world that takes electricity, clean water, plentiful
healthy food and the like for granted. I'm going over with
several other people from the Richmond diocese but I
know when I see them drive-off after a week and I'm left
there all alone that it is really going to be freaky. Also,
although the Sudan is safer than it used to be, it is still a
kinda dangerous place so I will have to be self aware at all
times. Then there is the whole issue of getting to know
the staff in the office, to develop good working
relationships with them, to establish trust, and to help
them understand that I'm not just there to tell them
what to do and then leave but to help them figure out
ways that they are comfortable with of managing their
finances that still meet the standards outside donors
would expect. Then there is the whole issue of the
lions...but I'm hoping not to run into any of them.
What are you most looking forward to?
I am really looking forward to immersing myself in the
Sudanese culture, to get to know the people there, to try
and establish friendships and reach beyond the people I

Sudan Walk
Help St. George’s make a difference in the lives of young
Sudanese by participating in and/or contributing to Hope
for Humanity’s 7th Annual “Walk for Sudan” on Sunday,
May 2nd. The youth of St. George’s will be collecting tax
deductible donations in the narthex on two consecutive
Sundays, April 18th and 25th. The money raised will be
used to support the Hope and Resurrection Secondary
work with every day to get to know a broad sense of the
population there. I hope to travel a little, see some of the
other countries, maybe take a steamer up the Nile to
Khartoum. I am hoping this will be a transformative
experience that will connect me to the people of the
world. And I hope to establish a base for St. George's in
Sudan, to make a real connection between us and the
people of Sudan that we might be able to use to offer
practical help in the future.
What can we do to help?
I will desperately need the prayers and well-wishes of the
St. George's community. I will be halfway around the
world, by myself in a remote, underdeveloped place and I
will need all the good wishes I can get to make it! It would
be nice to connect to as many people via email or
facebook. I am told that there is an internet connection in
the Juba office so I'm hopeful that I will be able to keep
people here updated as to what I'm up to.

The Gift of Music
Organ Update – Four Months to Delivery
Parsons technicians have finished building a
replica of St. George’s multi level west gallery.
The steel framework that will support the organ
has arrived from the fabricator and will be
assembled shortly. Some of the steel will be
bolted together and some must be welded. Once
assembled, the steel frame will be mounted on oak
posts six feet high. Once the steel and posts are
in place, the wind chests will be mounted to the
steel frame. Then comes the painstaking task of
connecting all of the action parts, the trackers,
roller boards and levers that connect the keys to
the wind chests. The keyboards are complete,
and will be mounted in the console frame when the
action is installed. The wind lines reservoirs,
bellows and blower will be rest on the floor below
the steel frame. There are thousands of moving
parts to fit and adjust before the exterior case
can be constructed and pipes installed. When
assembly is complete, Parsons will hold an open
house at their workshop to show off our new
instrument, then disassemble it and truck it to St.
George’s for installation.

is planned including a lock in on March 19, a dramatic
version of the Liturgy of the Palms on Easter
Sunday, a five day activity for youth during Spring
break, and a church wide variety show in May.
 The Newcomer’s reception will be held on April 25th

 The Memorial Garden was discussed and efforts to
evaluate current interest will be assessed through a
questionnaire.
Diocesan Action on Human Sexuality
As has been the case for a number of years, issues
relating to human sexuality came before the annual
Council of the Diocese of Virginia in 2010. Meeting one
day in Richmond and another day in Alexandria (due to a
snowstorm), the Council approved a substitute resolution
on this issue labeled R-14s.
The lay delegation from St. George’s, consisting of Pat
Baughman, John Coker and Ed Jones, voted to support
this resolution, which calls for issues relating to human
sexuality to be addressed thoroughly in regional forums
that will be held this year. These forums were called for
by Bishop Shannon Johnston, who noted that these issues
“cannot be adequately and justly dealt with in the very
short time allowed by Annual Council.”
Resolution 14-s also calls for the drafting of proposed
canons “for the effective and consistent exercise of
pastoral ministry should same-gender blessings be
authorized.” To accomplish that goal, Bishop Johnston will
empanel a group of clergy and lay people to propose
standards to be written into diocesan canons, should such
blessings be approved.
An amendment to R 14-s was proposed that would have put
Council on record regarding these issues before the
 Interest and efforts to establish a preschool at St.
George’s continue. If finalized it could open January,
2011 as the earliest possibility.
 Renewing for Ministry 2 (RfM²), the second capital
campaign to pay for our wonderful McGuire Hall
addition and Nave renovation is underway. The first
phase of the campaign is inviting commitments for
those who have fulfilled their RfM¹ pledge.
 Proposals for the annual distribution (2009) of the
General Endowment Fund were approved. They are to
fund the organ installation with $25,000 and the
proposed preschool with $6,300.
 Vestry continues to discuss the numerous efforts to
reach out to the community and to offer spiritual
growth within our church through education, music,
partnering and new ideas.

regional councils are held and before the proposed
standards are written. St. George’s lay delegates felt it
was wiser to allow Bishop Johnston, our new diocesan
bishop, to pursue his discernment process rather than to
take action at Council that might appear to pre-empt his
efforts. (Our clergy delegates, Jim Dannals and Gay Rahn,
could not attend the second day of council, when the
voting occurred, due to obligations at St. George’s.)
Resolution R 14-s notes that “there are numerous same-
gender couples in our diocese engaged in long-term
monogamous relationships who have engaged in productive
and vital ministries for the proclamation of the Gospel.”
It also notes that “our clergy and people remain divided
over the wisdom and theology of blessing same gender
relationships.”
It is our hope that the ongoing discernment process, as
outlined in Resolution R 14-s, will allow us to keep both of
these observations in mind.

site—thediocese.net.

The Resurrection Stained-Glass Windows
St. George’s is fortunate to have five stained glass windows that
deal with the Resurrection, the event which focuses on the unique
role of Jesus. All of the Tiffany windows have resurrection themes.
The “Road to Emmaus” depicts the re-appearance of Jesus as
depicted in John’s Gospel and the more general window “Angel of
the Resurrection” focuses on rebirth. The “Angel of Victory”
window is surrounded by the Passion flower as a symbol of the
death and resurrection of Christ. The palms are in the chalice
symbolizing the vessel Jesus used in the Last Supper to serve the
wine.

The subject of this article, however, is one of two Easter morning

windows which are easily seen from the main floor of the Church.
The third window on the right or south side of the church is
entitled “He is not Here He is Risen.”

The window depicts the shock of the tomb being open and Jesus
not being there. Artistically, the drama of the event is conveyed
by the angel pointing to the empty tomb and Mary Magdalene
recoiling from the news. The action shifts from top right to bottom
left with the two other figures remaining somewhat calm, but
comforting each other, providing a contrast to the other
characters. The tension is heightened by the closeness of the
figures to the observer. The size of the characters reminds us the importance of the event at hand and
reinforces the drama.

All of the Gospels speak of the resurrection event but the details differ. Both of the Easter morning windows
are predominantly taken from Mark’s Gospel. Mark’s account is the shortest and does not provide additional
stories of Jesus appearances afterwards but promises he will appear again. Mark lists the women in the window –
Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome, follower of Jesus and possibly Mary’s sister. All three
had followed Christ in Galilee and now to the grave. They found the stone had been rolled away from the
entrance. A man or two men dressed in bright white clothes (angels) told them Jesus had been raised. In John’s
account, Mary Magdalene alone found the tomb empty. She told Peter and John who came running to find the
linen wrappings lying alone in the tomb. They returned home while Mary Magdalene remained where she
encountered two angels and then the risen Christ. Luke’s account has Joanna – the wife of King Herod’s steward
replacing Salome. Mathew’s gospel includes only Mary Magdalene and “the other Mary.”

A messenger is included in all Gospel accounts which has been translated to “angel”. The angel in this window is
female which varies from all Gospel accounts but fits the more popular concept of angels. Mark clearly says it is
a “young man in a white robe seated on the right side.” Luke differs from the other Gospels by including two
angels. Angels have many meanings in the Bible – this angel is clearly the messenger type.

It is early in the morning. At the top of the window, light comes over
Golgotha – note the three crosses for the crucifixions earlier in the week.
John speaks of “very early, and still dark” (John 20:1) where Mark says it is
“very early in the morning…when the sun had risen” (Mark 16:2).(Con’t on Pg 15)

14
(Con’t from page 14) The tomb is not a traditionally Jewish tomb but a modern box tomb and the cover has been
removed. (However, the rock background may be shown behind the angel). There is no stone that has been rolled
away and no guard as described by Mathew. The angel is
not in the tomb where the body of Christ had been as
recorded in all accounts.

So why were the women there observing Jesus body?

Mark suggests that they wanted to attend to the body in
their own special way after the Passover Sabbath.

Mary Magdalene is holding on to a blue vase. Inside the

blue vase would have been perfumes and ointments to
perform their own rites on Jesus body in preparation of
burial, traditionally performed by Jewish women. She is
dressed in vivid garments with red hair. This refers to her checkered past as one
possessed by demons but as one who loved Jesus. Her hair is exposed and relatively loosened which would be a
sign that she is not chaste1. Her garment is elaborately done with fleur de lis and shell motifs. The former may
relate to the “Cult of Mary Magdalene” from the 12th century where Mary
Magdalene's relics were first venerated at the abbey
of Vézelay in Burgundy, France2.

Mary the mother has a halo and is praying fitting Luke’s account of a praying
woman. Salome is transfixed, staring at the
vacant tomb, in shock while at the same time
comforting Mary the mother. They function as
important witnesses of the event.

On the right side of the window, there are two

symbols of Jesus resurrection – the white burial garment and the crown of thorns.
The latter specifically identifies Jesus. If Jesus had been stolen, his body would
have remained wrapped - the garment would not have been left behind. It is clear
that Jesus has been transformed. Three of the Gospels, Mathew, Mark and Luke
speak of a larger cloth that would have covered the body. John uses “linen cloths”

which some have interpreted as a face cloth but does not include the larger cloth.

The flowers (lilies of the Valley, Hyacinths, tulips) are

spring flowers and may symbolize the new life stemming
from the resurrection for Christ’s followers. The lilies
open toward the heavens as Christ has risen from the
tomb. New life is also apparent on the shining suns on
the angel’s garments and also is a symbol for Christ.

The window was dedicated in 1908 to Richard Cassius Lee Moncure (1805-1882) and
his wife Mary Conway (1807-1895). Moncure was a lawyer and served on the Supreme
Court of appeals of Virginia for about 30 years and was known for his wide range of
knowledge. As the dedication states - “A man in whom was no guile.”

Memorial Garden
There were two parts of the proposed garden – 1. burial
of cremains 2. niches. The burial of cremains would be in
the green space in the enclosures above with a plaque on
the outside wall of McGuire with names. Niches are
canisters placed on the outside of one of the 5 “U” and 1
“L” shaped enclosures. Each canister would have a
faceplate for a commemorative inscription and would hold
one person’s ashes.

Funds were collected for the niches with the idea to

In 2008, St. George’s formed a Memorial Garden
Committee to construct a contemplative space where
people’s ashes could be interred in ground or in niches.
Benches would be provided for meditation and quiet
reflection. The garden was planned to be located at the
end of the current cemetery against McGuire Hall.
Wil Rieley, a landscape architect, was hired and provided
architectural sketches of a garden and produced the
image above. The committee developed policies, a
brochure and gave several presentations. Daniel and
Company, our contractor, provided estimates of costs.
complete the garden while Daniel was finishing renovation
of the Church in 2009. For various reasons, both demand
and funds were not sufficient to begin the project.
In March, 2010, a new committee was formed to revive a
portion of the original design. To complete the garden we
need an investment of $150,000 to $200,000. To
provide direction for this effort, we are undertaking a
survey (inserted in this newsletter) as part of a
feasibility study.
The survey of 8 questions is intended to be anonymous
and will take you less than 5 minutes.

The Story of St. George – Church Plaques, Part 3
This month the story is about a banner. While banners
adorn the Church and remind us of our history like
plaques they function less to commemorate and more
as a symbol of victory.
For 1500 years, the image of St. George has been an
inspiration for not only countries (England), churches
(Greek, Coptic) but also for various enterprises, such
as healing, agriculture. We think of the image of St.
George’s dressed in knight regalia, typically riding a
white horse lance in hand slaying a groveling dragon,
the classic story of good vs. evil.
The banner in the Church depicting the classic scene is
of recent origin – fabricated by our own Mary
Ellsworth in 1990, twenty years ago this year. But was
he a real person or just a legend? Obviously, there
aren’t dragons to slay which may cast doubt on a real
living, George.
The real St. George is not English at all but born a
Roman in Lydda about 25 miles from Jerusalem around
270 AD. His parents were both Christians and he was
raised with Christian beliefs. His name George came
from “Geo” (world) and “Eros” (worker). His father
became closely associated with the Roman Emperor.
George due to his father’s influence joined the Roman
army rising to the rank of Tribune in the Imperial
Guard, the latter an elite group close associated with
the Emperor.
George’s Christian beliefs clashed with that of the
Emperor. A new decree by the Emperor Diocletian
required everyone in Imperial Service to render divine
honors to Emperor by sprinkling a pinch of incense on a
lamp before the statue. George loudly renounced the
Emperor's edict by tearing it up. In front of his fellow
soldiers and Tribunes he claimed himself to be a
Christian and declared his worship of Jesus Christ.
Brought before Emperor, he did not ask for pardon as
would be expected but pleaded for justice for
Christians. Commanded to offer honors to the
Emperor, he refused declaring – “I believe in Jesus
Christ, who only is both God and Love.” Diocletian
attempted to sway George by offering even offering
gifts of land, money and slaves if he made a sacrifice
to the Pagan gods and renounce his Christian beliefs.
George never accepted. He finally was tortured, judged
obdurate and condemned to death. Before the
execution George gave his wealth to the poor and
prepared himself. He was beheaded on April 23,
303AD, which has since been known as St. George day.
After the execution, friends recovered his body,
brought it back to Lydda where buried it, planted a
rose bush on grave. A church was eventually built at
the site. The current church there dates from 1872.
George’s stance for Christianity came only years
before the later Emperor Constantine made
Christianity the official religion of the Empire. George
became a saint in 494AD. By that time the story of
George had been brought to England.
Note there is no reference to a dragon with the St.
George story to this point. The story of St. George
appeared “Legend Aurea” of James of Vorgaigne 1255
at the time of the Crusades. It goes something like
this... A dragon made his nest in a spring that
provides water for Silene. Consequently, the citizens
have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to
collect water. To do so, each day they (con’t on pg 18)
17
(con’t from page 17) offer the dragon at first two
sheep a day to satisfy its hunger. When the sheep
were gone a human victim was necessary. Lots were
drawn to determine the victim. One day, this happened
to be the king’s daughter. The monarch begs for her
life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the
dragon, but there Saint George appears on his travels.
He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of
the cross and pierces the dragon. He asked the maiden
for her girdle and binding it round the dragon's neck
led it, meek as a lamb, to the maid, who took it to the
city. St George told the people to have no fear, but to
be baptized, and bid them to honor the clergy and pity
the poor.” In this version there is no actual killing of
the dragon.
The story is that of Man’s fall and his salvation. As
Anthony Cooney writes in his volume on St. George:
“The city is a man, the king is his reason, which ought
to rule over the passions, the princess is his soul and
the dragon is the instincts and desires of the flesh. If
the instincts are not governed by reason they threaten
the soul.”
Cooney believes the acceptance of the story suggests
an older oral tradition. He notes the use of the dragon
goes back to Roman coinage. A coin struck by
Constantine shows a fallen dragon surmounted by the
Greek initials of the name of Christ. Caesar was
recognized in battle by the purple standard of the
dragon. Cooney furthermore suggests that the
concept of a dragon may be different than ours, less
evil but more fearsome. Obviously, St. George did not
slay the Roman Empire. However, George’s example
inspired the 3rd century Christians to remain vigilant,
and faithful as he helped to overcome the last assault
of the Romans against Christianity. He was an example
to those who hid their religion or whose religion had
dimmed almost three centuries after Christ. The
dragon could be tamed. Thus, “the dragon was bound
by the Church's girdle and led, meekly as a lamb, into
the service of Christ.”
The iconography of George provided an image to the
story and developed over time. St. George’s flag
became a red cross on a white field and occurred
gradually. The Crusades made George popular in
England. At the first crusade in the Siege of Antioch
in 1098 a knight wrote about St. George leading
knights and bearing white banners. A century later
Richard I sought George as his protector. At the Siege
of Jerusalem, Richard claimed to have seen vision of
St. George bearing a red cross banner. St. George’s
day became part of the calendar in 1220. The use of
St. George was continued in his play Henry V with the
battle cry –“God for Harry, England and St. George!”
The image of St. George continues to be explored in
our time. The bottom image entitled “Good Defeats
Evil” (1990) is at the United Nations Building on the
East Side of First Avenue between 45th & 46th
Street and is the creation of Georgian artist Zurab
Tsereteli . It is a 39-foot-high bronze statue of a
mounted St. George thrusting a lance into the heart of
a two-headed dragon. The dragon is partially
constructed from the rubble of Soviet and American
missiles. Slices of the American Pershing-2 and Soviet
SS-2 form the dragon's body.
