St.Andrew’s College
Principal’s Message
our schools and training centres are
being challenged to meet this need.
Lorne Calvert
As we draw closer to 2012 and
our 100th anniversary, St. Andrew’s
College is preparing for our second
century as a community of teachers
and learners. St. Andrew’s has always
sought to give our students the best of
theological and biblical underpinnings, a justice driven orientation,
tools of critical thinking, the ability to
adapt to changing times and varied
ministries, and deep pastoral skills.
These remain our goals as we make
ready for the next generation of those
whom God is calling to ministry and
the study of theology.
That we are part of a rapidly
changing Church in an equally rapidly changing society and world is clear
to us all. The Church we know and
love today will not be the same in ten
and twenty years from now. But
God’s presence among us will not
change, nor will the spiritual and pastoral needs of individuals and communities. The clarion calls of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to love, to justice, to reconciliation and peace will
not change. We will need our pastors
and preachers and prophets. In this
time of change a well equipped servant leadership for our Church is perhaps more important than ever it has
been. All of our theological colleges,
2
At St. Andrew’s we are striving to
meet the challenge.
We are working to make theological education even more accessible
and of even greater value to those
who will emerge and serve in church
and community. In the new pathway
to ordination being offered at St.
Andrew’s we are further deepening
the integration of academic study
and practical experience. In the four
year program leading to an M. Div.
and testamur for ordination our students will serve almost half of their
time in community service, clinical
pastoral care settings and on residency in pastoral ministry. With the
guidance of faculty, supervisors and
peers our students will deeply integrate their experience in ministry
with their academic foundation. And
because we do our teaching and
learning in the ecumenical context of
the Saskatoon Theological Union our
students will gain much value from
their education for the real and
changing Church they graduate into.
Education at St. Andrew’s has
become expensive. Our tuition costs
are very similar to those in other
post-graduate professional programs
but our graduates have much less
earning potential in the vocations of
ministry. To make our program more
accessible we are setting out a new
and ambitious financial assistance
package for our students. Beginning
this fall we are offering one full year
of paid academic tuition to all fulltime M.Div. students and all of their
residency tuition paid as well. Our
students will continue to have access
to a book bursary, a limited number
of scholarships and bursaries administered by the College, and access to a
shared financial assistance pool for
special and emergent needs. We are
able to do this because of the generosity of those who endowed the
College with their gifts, bequests and,
in some cases, the proceeds of property sales.
Beginning now and in the
anniversary year to come we are
launching a communications effort
to attract new students to theological
study and to ministry. We want to
equip our alumni/ae, our friends, our
congregations, presbyteries and conferences with knowledge of St.
Andrew’s that they might share news
of the College with potential students
and those testing a call to ministry.
We are in the process of developing a
new website to make information
sharing and communication with
potential students and candidates
much stronger and accessible. We
will be using every conventional, and
perhaps some unconventional means
to tell the St. Andrew’s story. We are
going to say, very directly, to potential
students “Are we part of your journey?”
In 2012 we will celebrate with
thanksgiving the first 100 years of St.
Andrew’s College. But more than just
a look back, 2012 will take us to the
future. It is a future of faithfulness to
our God, commitment to Jesus
Christ, love for our Church and for all
whom our Church serves. It is a
future of shaping our new servant
leadership. It is a future that we can
look forward to.

St.Andrew’s College
St. Andrew’s College will award two
Honorary Doctorate of Divinity degrees in May 2012
Rev. Jack Carr was born in White
Fox, Saskatchewan and moved to
Prince George, British Columbia at
the age of ten. He obtained his B.A. at
the University of British Columbia
and enrolled in Union Theological
College (now Vancouver School of
Theology). Jack was ordained by the
BC Conference in 1968 and was settled in Saskatchewan where he has
served churches in rural and urban
communities. One of his nominators
indicates that “Jack brought incredible energy to ministry and he was
always active in Presbytery and
Conference. But most importantly,
he was grounded in the life of the
Pastoral Charges and besides being a
strong worship leader and preacher,
he was a superlative pastor.” Jack also
volunteered and worked on various
Presbytery and Conference committees. Jack currently serves as the
Pastor in Residence at St. Andrew’s
College and also serves as Core
Group Leader for the students.
The Very Rev. Stanley McKay was
born in Fisher River, Manitoba and
received his schooling Fisher River
Day School and Birtle High School
while a resident at Birtle Indian
Residential School. He attended
Teacher’s College in Winnipeg, completed an Arts degree from United
College in Winnipeg and obtained a
Bachelor of Divinity Degree and was
ordained by Manitoba Conference in
1972. Stan served in ministry in sev-
eral northern Manitoba communities; served at the Coordinator
(National) of Native Ministries and
was involved with the apology to First
Nations peoples by the United
Church in 1988; involved with the
formation of the All Native Circle
Conference and gave leadership in
the founding of the Dr. Jessie
Saulteaux Centre. He was elected
Moderator of The United Church of
Canada in 1992 and visited indigenous peoples in Central and South
America. One of his nominators says
that, “Stanley McKay has been a voice
for justice and peace on many occasions, his life has had a great influence
on The United Church of Canada
and all of Canadian society.”
Friends We Shall Miss
Rev. Dr. Basil Robert (Bob) Bater of
Kingston, ON passed away on June 22,
2011. A gentle, man, Bob was a gentleman, son, father, husband, friend,
scholar, minister, teacher and activist.
He dedicated his academic career and
ministry to the study and interpretation of the Gospels with the intent to
interpret faithfully God’s word and
how it should continue to inform us
even in the 21st century. Bob spent
much of his ministry teaching at St.
Andrew’s and then at Queen’s
Theological College, where he was
Principal from 1974-1982.

Cecil Blackburn of Edmonton, AB
passed away on July 22, 2011. Cec
served on the Finance Committee of
the joint St. Andrew’s and St. Stephen’s
College.
Rev. Dr. Benjamin Galletley Smilley
of Saskatoon, SK passed away on May
31, 2011. Ben was ordained in 1952
and served as minister in communities
in British Columbia. He received his
Masters Degree of Sacred Theology
and accepted a job as the United
Church Chaplain at the University of
Saskatchewan. During the 1960s Ben
and his wife, Adele, were very active in
supporting the CCF government’s
efforts to introduce universal health
care. They were also very involved in
anti-war activities and opposition to
nuclear weapons proliferation. In
1968, Ben went to Columbia
University in New York to pursue a Ph.
D. After getting degree he secured a
job teaching Christian Ethics at St.
Andrew’s College, a career which he
loved. Ben was named Professor
Emeritus of St. Andrew’s College in
1985.

St.Andrew’s College
Building Report
We are happy to report that the elevator project is underway with Glen
Ogilvy and Access 2000. The pit is dug
and construction is progressing on all
three floors.
Other projects that were done over
the last year were seventeen new windows installed on the fourth floor. New
lighting outside the memorial gates
entrance and outside the chapel stained
glass window.
Expansion tanks were replaced in
the boiler room as the old ones were
not up to code. The boilers have been
working wonderfully. We also purchased a new floor machine (never had
one before) making life much more
pleasant for Raul. New handrails were
installed outside the chapel doors. We
also replaced the weather stripping
around the doors and had them
repaired to open and close properly.
Several Physical Therapy offices
were given a much needed coat of
paint. The Library was also given a
much needed face lift with a fresh coat
of paint, new blinds and shelving. Stop
in and have a look!
Also many odds and ends were
accomplished. New cement outside the
memorial gates entrance, new eaves on
the north side of the chapel and a floor
drain put in the residence laundry
room. A drain in the trunk room was
also repaired. More sump pumps have
been added in the tunnels to help
drainage.
Stop in and have a ride on the elevator in the New Year!!

Give Us A Lift
For far too long, the St. Andrew’s
College building has not been a fully
accessible place.. The stairs have kept
many people from worshipping in our
chapel, studying in our classrooms,
attending events at the College and
being part of our community life.
We are in the middle of opening
the doors of St. Andrew’s for everyone.
Our “Give Us A Lift” campaign has
brought us past midway in the construction of an elevator that will provide access to all of the common areas
of the College. When the project is
complete no one will be excluded from
St. Andrew’s.
The construction is well underway.
The floor and wall openings have been
cut, the base for the elevator is in place,
the machinery is almost ready for
installation and an accessible washroom is under construction.
To complete the project we need
your help. We have passed the 60%
mark of reaching our $300,000 goal.
Gifts and pledges from our Board
members and faculty, gifts large and
small from friends of the College and a
$75,000 grant from the people of
Canada have brought us to where we
are.

A recent gift of $1,000 from the
UCW of St. Martin’s United Church in
Saskatoon, gifts from the St. Andrew’s
Guild, and a $20,000 gift from the people of the Chinese United Church in
Moose Jaw have brought us closer to
our goal.
We are asking you now to consider
a special gift to the Accessibility Fund
of the College so that we might complete the project by year end and that
we might ‘kick off ’ our Anniversary
year with a great celebration. We want
to recognize all of our donors in a special display at the College for our
Anniversary celebrations later in the
year. We hope your name might be
among those who have opened the
doors of St. Andrew’s to everyone.

Winter Refresher 2012
Christine Mitchell
A few years ago for the “From the
Faculty Bookshelf ” column of Contact,
I wrote about a book I’d just finished
reading, called Writing on the Tablet of
the Heart, by David M. Carr. I wrote:
“In this book Carr argues that ancient
texts like the Hebrew Bible came to
exist as part of a broader educational
process. The texts of the Bible were not
created as religious texts, but as educational texts. A key part of his argument
is that the educational process of the
ancient world was based on the student’s ability to accurately memorize
and then orally reproduce the important traditions of the culture. An educated person was someone who had the
www.standrews.ca
great texts of their culture ‘written on
their heart.’” I then went on to say,
“how much easier might it be to make
connections between ideas and traditions if we carried them within ourselves? Indeed, I often wish that I had
such a body of knowledge ‘written
upon my heart.’”
The author of this book, David M.
Carr, Professor at Union Theological
Seminary in New York, will be joining
us for Winter Refresher 2012. Many
current and former students will recognize his work, as I have assigned
Writing on the Tablet of the Heart as a
textbook for one of my courses for a
number of years. Attendees at the 2011
Winter Refresher may remember that
one of his previous books, The Erotic
Word, was used by Prof. Kwok Pui-lan
in one of her lectures. I am honoured
to be able to bring him to Saskatoon to
speak to us.
Along with the usual lectures,
music, worship, and conversation, we
will have presentations by faculty on
current trends in scholarship and ministry. Prof. Carr has also agreed to participate in a discussion with students
on Sunday night: this discussion is
open to all current students and all former students who have read Writing on
the Tablet of the Heart. I know there are
a number of you out there!

Don Schweitzer
At the end of April I flew to Nashville
to attend the annual meeting of the
Workgroup for Constructive Theology.
On May 7, the day after convocation, I
flew to Vancouver and then on to Seoul,
Korea, to spend a week at Hanshin
Graduate School of Theology. There I presented a paper, “The Sociality of Jesus
Christ,” to the faculty and entire student
body. I also made a presentation, “God and
the World in the Theologies of
Bonaventure and Jonathan Edwards,” in a
class on process theology. This occasioned
a lively debate. In addition I met with faculty, students, and former St. Andrew’s student SunHe Ko. Han Shin is a very impressive school and my time there was a wonderful introduction to Korea and Christian
theology there.
Then at the end of May I went to
Fredericton, New Brunswick to attend the
annual meeting of the Canadian
Theological Society. There I presented “The
Sociality of Jesus Christ,” and visited with a
number of colleagues from across the
country.
HyeRan Kim-Cragg
The term began with a sense of being
settled back in Saskatoon after a whirlwind
of trips to Korea and Ontario. My visit to
Korea involved many reunions with family
and friends. There were also academic
gatherings and a couple of media interviews. Yunhap on-line news interviewed
me regarding interculturalism, an emerging social phenomenon of Korea. This
interview was followed by a lecture on
“Intercultural ministry: A Canadian
Perspective,” organized by the Christian
Institute for the Third Millennium. Later, I
accompanied Bern Jagunos, the Asia desk
program coordinator of the People in
Partnership Unit of the UCC, to the press
interview on the joint Empire Study
between the UCC and the Presbyterian
Church in the Republic of Korea (PROK).
I also met with the faculty members of the
Hanshin Graduate School of Theology to
celebrate our partnership and those of the
Anglican theological seminary to seek a
6
possibility of the partnership.
After I
returned with my family to Canada I traveled to Toronto to the Rendezvous event, a
gathering of hundreds of young people
from across Canada. I cherished encounters I had with young people considering
ministry, a couple who plan to come to St.
A’s (and are already taking courses with us).
I was thrilled to learn this fall that I am
one of the recipients of the McGeachy
Senior Scholarship. With this scholarship
over the next two years, I will be able to
study racialized ordained women ministers
and their experience of ministry in the
UCC. It will be a study based on both qualitative and quantitative research. It is my
hope that this research will reveal the complexities of pastoral leadership for those
with multiple identities on the line. I hope
that the research accomplishes the work of
lifting up marginalized voices and honoring their particular experiences in order to
demonstrate the unique leadership roles
racialized women ministers play in shaping
and envisioning the future of ministry.
In a related area I have been asked to lead a
workshop at The Future of Ministry conference at Queen’s University, October 1718 and I will be speaking at the Next/New
Generation
Racialized
Ministers’
Leadership Consultation, Toronto, October
24-26.
I created two liturgies, one for the
World Wide Communion Sunday, accessed
at http://www.united-church.ca/planning/
seasons/communion and the other, nonlectionary based Thanksgiving Sunday,
accessed at http://www.united-church.ca/
planning/seasons/creation.
I am working on several articles to be
published in Religious Education and The
Ecumenist 2012, and the writings for chapters in a number of books including Called
to be the Church: Intercultural Visions
(Toronto: United Church Publishing
House, forthcoming, 2012).
Christine Mitchell
Christine Mitchell spent the summer
teaching introductory Hebrew and taking a
nine-week online course for faculty at theological schools who teach online. She
learned a great deal that will help St.
Andrew’s improve our online course offerings. This fall, she is part of an Association
of Theological Schools accreditation visiting team. She is also giving two papers at
the Annual Meeting of the Society of
Biblical Literature in San Francisco.
Lynn Caldwell
Lynn Caldwell is in the final stages of
co-editing a book with two colleagues; the
theme of the book is “critical Canadian
Studies” and it will be a collection of essays
that examine taken-for-granted aspects of
Canada and Canadianness – particularly in
ways that draw attention to sexuality, gender, and race. Lynn will be contributing a
chapter to this collection, based on her
research on the Saskatchewan Centennial
celebrations. Lynn recently gave a presentation on her work at a joint conference of
the Association of Canadian Studies and
the Canadian Ethnic Studies Association,
held in Ottawa this fall; the conference was
focused on discussing “40 years of
Canadian multiculturalism”. Lynn continues to serve on the board of Integrated
Community Ministries (ICM), of
RiverBend Presbytery, and is very involved
in ICM’s 10x10 art and community development project (now in its third year). A
new “extra-curricular” involvement that
Lynn has recently taken on, and is very
enthusiastic about, is membership on the
Provost’s Advisory Committee on Gender
and Sexual Diversity, at the University of
Saskatchewan.
These involvements and projects all
very much shape the teaching that Lynn
engages in at St. Andrew’s, and also in her
other teaching contracts in Sociology and
in Education. In each of these contexts
Lynn’s teaching centres on themes of social
change, difference, and very directly on
confronting pesky and problematic ideas
about “normalcy” – especially the ways
these ideas are attached to notions of
Canadianness. It is an exciting and challenging time to be teaching and learning
about ideas of Canada, and to be at St.
Andrew’s as a place of learning and leadership in transformation and social justice.

St.Andrew’s College
Centre for Rural Leadership and Ministry – CiRCLe M
As a joint initiative of the Saskatoon
Theological Union, the CiRCLe M programs offer the opportunity for specialized
study and research in rural ministry and
community development. Graduates of the
CiRCLe M programs may earn their S.T.M
and now a Doctorate of Ministry through
St. Andrew’s.
The Circle M centre has recently relocated its program space, resources and
offices to St. Andrew’s. The director of the
programs, Dr. Cam Harder and the pro-
grams’ administrator Colleen Rickard
along with the program resources are now
located in the former Dean’s Suite on the
fourth floor. The CiRCLe M program
space is a welcome addition to the College
life. Dr. Nettie Wiebe, chair of the CiRCLe
M Board, said “We are happy with our new
home in St. Andrew’s and excited about the
offering of a new, ATS accredited doctoral
degree in rural ministry and community
development.“

Broadening and Deepening Relationships
As the Board
was gathered for its
annual fall meeting, I was struck by
how
significant
our growing relationships with others are to our success of preparing
students for leadVic Wiebe
ership in the
Board Chair
church. Here are
just some of the
ones we touched on:
• The partnership we established
last year with Hanshin University in
Korea has resulted in Professor Don
Schweitzer being able to travel to Korea
to share his knowledge and skills with
their students. This year we have two
students from Hanshin studying with
us and thereby enriching the education
of both themselves and our regular student body.
• Our library arrangements with
the Saskatoon Theological Union were
expanded to included Horizon College
thereby extending our ecumenical
endeavours to the Pentecostal church, a
Christian denomination with which we
traditionally have not had close ties.
www.standrews.ca
• The uniqueness and quality of
our library arrangements with the
Saskatoon Theological Union was recognized by the International Society
for Science and Religion at Cambridge
University in the UK. They awarded to
our library a set of 225 foundational
texts in the field of science and religion.
Ours is one of only 150 libraries worldwide to receive such recognition. This
will present many unique opportunities to engage, on campus and in the
community, in discussions about the
interface of science and religion.
• We have entered into discussions
with the Department of Religion and
Culture and the Centre for Culture and
Creativity in the College of Arts of the
University of Saskatchewan about
potential joint initiatives. This could
include possible greater involvement of
undergraduate students in classes
offered by the Saskatoon Theological
Union and greater involvement of faculty in each others’ programs.
• We are the only college on the
prairies authorized by The United
Church of Canada to grant the testamur required for ordination. With all
of the other avenues for training for
paid accountable ministry in the
United Church also being located on
the prairies (i.e. The Centre for
Christian Studies in Winnipeg for diaconal ministry, The Sandy Salteaux
Centre in Beausejour for Aboriginal
ministry and The Calling Lakes Centre
in Fort Qu’Appelle for designated lay
ministry), we are in a unique position
to develop partnerships with these programs to share learning opportunities
and to recognize training courses
amongst the various programs.
We are the smallest college for
preparing students for ordained ministry within The United Church of
Canada (and indeed within the membership of the Association of
Theological Schools, the North
American accrediting body for theological education). This size gives us
the advantage of being able to adapt
quickly to changing conditions, as we
have done in implementing a pilot
project in integrating academic and
practice education. It also makes it
much easier to form new alliances and
partnerships as opportunities arise.
This has enabled St. Andrews College
to not only survive but thrive for nearly 100 years and we look forward to this
continuing as we enter the first year of
our second century in 2012.

In September we welcomed Lynn
Bayne to the College as our Ministry
Residency Coordinator. She recently
retired as the Internship Coordinator
for the College of Education at the
University of Saskatchewan.
Our Registrar, Colleen Walker has
accepted a half-time position with the
University of Saskatchewan and will be

St. Andrew’s College Ministry Residency Begins
Lynn Bayne
In September 2011, the first
Ministry Residency began! Michele
Rowe is engaged in her Residency
with Knox United Church in
Langham, a half time student supply relationship that continues for
20 months. Michele reports that
she is enjoying her work with the
Langham folks and feels that ministry is the right place for her to be.
Warner Bloomfield is nearing
the completion of his 16 month
internship in Sioux Lookout. He
sounds happy and very busy. When
his internship concludes at the end
of December, he will continue with
his ministry in Sioux Lookout for
the term January through June
2012. Because of this extension of
his time in Sioux Lookout, Warner
is in effect experiencing some of the
benefits of a twenty-month
Residency.
Four students have indicated
readiness for Residency/Internship,
one to begin later this year, three to
commence in September 2012.
Since I began work as St. Andrew’s
Ministry Residency Coordinator in
September, I have enjoyed meeting
with these students and with the
new and continuing students at St.
Andrew’s.
I come to the position of
Coordinator from ‘lifelong’ memberships in the United Church of
Canada and the teaching profession. Since confirmation as a high
school senior, I have belonged to
and served seven congregations in
Saskatchewan. I retired from education as the Coordinator of School
Based Experiences for teacher candidates in the College of Education,
University
of
Saskatchewan.
Coming to St. Andrew’s seems like a
wonderful blending of these two
important parts of my life.
Many thanks to the faculty and
staff of St. Andrew’s for a warm welcome! I look forward to serving the
United Church and its future ministers with you.
St. Andrew’s participated in the 2011 Saskatoon Pride Parade.

From a Faculty Bookshelf
HyeRan Kim-Cragg
The Work of
the People: What
We Do in Worship
and Why by Marlea
Gilbert , Christopher
Grundy, Eric T.
Myers,
and
Stephanie Perdew
(Alban, 2007) is
one of the books I
use in my course, “Introduction to
Christian Public Worship.”
Do you as a lay person find that
attending worship feels like going to
the football game without knowing the
rules? Are you as a minister facing challenges to find liturgical resources that
can educate congregations about why
we worship the way we worship? If
these questions are relevant to your
own particular context, then this book
may be useful to you. The Work of the
People , literally meaning liturgy, centres on the basics of worship, the Ordo,
the patterns and the movements of
worship that range from gathering,
sharing, enacting, and sending forth.
Not many worship related books
have pedagogical dimensions. On the
contrary, and sadly, so many worship
related books focus heavily on the his-
tory of liturgical development and the
origin of the liturgy without addressing
the contemporary practical and pedagogical implications for today’s congregational and liturgical life. Perhaps one
of the reasons why this book is sensitive
to the educational dimensions of worship is that the authors wrote it as a
part of their doctoral course work. In
other words, the content of the book
was shaped by the context, the learning
environment from which the content
emerged. This is an important insight
for liturgical (and I would argue any
theological) studies. A proper knowledge of how and why the liturgy came
about (i.e., the history of the liturgical
development) is, I believe, dependent
on knowing the context in which the
subjects of worship (the worshippers)
are situated. We are all living in contexts of learning. Therefore the liturgy
should be about teaching.
As the person who teaches worship
and Christian education, I am delighted to find such a book as this that successfully makes connections between
theoretical - historical matters and
pedagogical - pastoral issues relevant to
liturgy today. Though the liturgical
renewal movement, inspired and
prompted by the Second Vatican
Council in the 1960s and 1970s, is contemporary, it is a movement whose
focus is the recovery of the ancient patterns and practices of early Christian
worship where worship and education
were two sides of one coin. “Practice of
patters of faithful acts is the basis of
becoming and growing as Christian
disciples” (p. 15).
My last comment on this book, but
not the least important, is its simplicity
and accessibility. Those of us who
acknowledge and appreciate the power
of symbols, non-verbal and non-linguistic things in worship would find
this book very helpful. While not losing the sight of the Latin and Greek
origins of liturgical terms embedded
with unfamiliar and complicated
meanings, the authors attempt to communicate them in ways that are accessible to ordinary readers. Ruth Duck,
who wrote the foreword, sums this up
well: “Read this small book slowly and
ponder it, for much deep thought
underlies its simple expression.”
So let me extend the open-handed
invitation to you to read this book:
ponder and practice the Work of the
People!

News from the Library
Sarah Benson
We live in awkward times. It has
become acceptable to treat science and religion as de facto foes. Public discourse
involving spiritual matters has degenerated
into mutual name-calling, with the ‘science’ side holding that atheism is the only
intelligent position to hold, and the ‘religion’ side denouncing science as somehow
against God. It seems to have become intolerable to think that a person can be rational and a believer at the same time. It’s all
rather sad and foolish – and for me quite
disheartening – but these themes have
become increasingly common in the past
decade or so.
Enter the International Society for
Science and Religion. In 2002, the ISSR
was founded with the aim of :
facilitation of dialogue between the
two academic disciplines of science
and religion, one of the most important current areas of debate in terms of
understanding the nature of humani-
ty. This includes both the enhancement of the profile of the science-religion interface in the public eye, as well
as the safeguarding of the quality and
rigour of the debate in the more formal, academic arena.
That quotation is from their web site –
www.issr.org.uk, which I encourage you to
visit. They’re based, you perhaps won’t be
surprised to learn, at the University of
Cambridge. Their first president was Sir
John Polkinghorne, the mathematical
physicist and Anglican priest. Their hope is
to help establish some reasonableness into
the study of religion and science, both in
the academy and in public discourse. To
that end, as one of their many projects, they
set up a grant to donate a collection of
books to a number of libraries worldwide.
In the spring of this year, I applied on
behalf of the Saskatoon Theological Union
library system for the ISSR Library Project
award. It’s a collection of 250 volumes,
forming a foundational library for the
study of religion and science. They’re even
re-binding and shipping the books – all for
free. It is being granted to 150 libraries
around the world.
Let me be honest with you here, and
admit that I didn’t think we had the least
chance of getting it. The award is, frankly,
very big, and we are very small. They are
Cambridge, and we are obscure unpronounceable Western Canada. You can
imagine my delight when I received a letter
in the summer from the Society, telling us
that we were one of the libraries chosen to
receive this collection! I was – well, quite
gobsmacked. As you may know, academic
texts are terrifically expensive, and had we
wished to purchase this set, it would have
cost more than the entire annual book
budget of St Andrew’s College library,
where we will house it. We are very grateful indeed. It’s one thing to for our community to know that the work our little
college system is doing is important and
worth supporting; it’s another to have the
likes of Cambridge recognise it. We know
that our students and faculty will find this
an extremely useful collection, and intend
to host at least one seminar focussing on
the themes the texts address. By the time
this article is published, I expect the books
will have arrived and been set up in their
own special section – and we definitely had
a party.
Let me remind you that the STU
Libraries offer library cards for free to anyone, so if you’re interested in our new collection, or in the works of John
Polkinghorne, or anything else, you’re
always welcome! Phone, email, or visit in
person.

When Did We See You?
Kathleen Jones
Chapel Meditation
Second Year Student
Then the righteous will reply,
“Lord, when was it that we saw you
hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave
you a drink, a stranger and took you
home, or naked and and clothed you?
When did we see you ill and or in
prison, and come to visit you?” And
the king will answer, “I tell you this:
anything you did for one of my brothers here, however humble, you did for
me.”
Matthew 25: 37-40
“But, when did we see you?” The
‘righteous’ and ‘wicked’ both ask, confused. I never saw the Messiah, I never
saw ‘the King’. This question implies: “If
I’d known, well, things would have
been different. If I’d known it was you,
if I had seen you, if I’d known you were
coming, I would have done whatever
you needed. I would have baked a
cake!”
We assume the ‘cursed goats’ would
protest – that’s only natural – but the
story points out that both parties are
equally confounded. And that, for me,
is the rub. Some of us will get around
this not-so-little wrinkle by saying that
the ‘good sheep’ were nice to everybody, and treated everyone as though
they too, were the Messiah. But even in
that behaviour, they still did not see.
They did not see what, exactly, they
were doing. They did not see their
King, their Lord, their Christ, their
Saviour. They did not see that in the
least of their brothers and sisters, in
their communities, in each other, in
themselves was a spark, a need, something crying out to be cared for.
Something that needed to be seen.
What do we see when we look
around? One of the things that I cherish about St. Andrew’s College is the
claim that this is a community, and
more-so that that claim is lived out
fairly successfully as far as I can tell.
Needs are generally taken care of, com-
passion is commonplace. But what do
we see? The brilliant scholar who is jetting off to yet another speaking engagement? The mouthy student who will
hopefully get straightened out while on
residency? Or do we see that spark, that
piece of them that wants to break
through and be seen. Wants to be
known. The friend who just lost a pet,
who is insecure about their abilities
and hopes that by adding enough publications to their CV that maybe, they
will be ‘good enough.’
We carry around, each of us, that
spark, that need, that ache that cries
out to be cared for. Something that
needs to be seen. So we are both the
one who can care, and the ‘least of these’ who needs to be cared for.
“When did we see you?” We didn’t,
we haven’t, perhaps we can not; but,
through participating in communion,
we have a chance of catching a glimpse.
May it be so.
