Jon Bruno,was invofved with our 11fe together tn 2013, and +Jon wifl be hereto celebrate and preach and celebrate and confirm, and make anofficial Episcopal visitation, on May 4t 2074.

Three of the great blessings in my life are named Barbara+, Jeff+and Susan. Since her retirement as Rector of Saint John the DivineEpiscopal Church in Costa Mesa, (The Rev'd Dr.) Barbara Stewart hasbeen a gift to this parish. In addition to being a member of ourhandbell choir, Barbara cefebrates our Wednesday noontime Eucharistwith "A PubIic Service of Healing" and preaches/homilizes on Sundaymorning once a month. She preached at The Great Vigil of Easter andcefebrated with me then and at 10:OO p.m. on Christmas Eve.

Jeff+ prepared Mofly Mccray and Jim Pa-lda for confirmation throughthe JOURNEY program. Shanel, Rachel and Marco hrere prepared forconfirmation by Susan Caldwell. What a gift Susan Caldwel.L and herministry as our Minister of Chri-stian Education is! (Please readalf about her ministries with us efsewhere in this Report. ) I don'tknow how we coul-d do all we do without our wonderful- Office Manager/Parish Secretary, Susan Beechner, and our Sexton, Susan Westrom.

In addition to +Diane and +Cathy, Barbara+ and Jeff+, Homilistson Sundays in 2013 inc-Iuded: our friend of Long-standing, poetand songwriter, Bob Franke on January 20; The Rev'd Canon Ray Flemingon September l-; Dr. Geo.rge Marks at the Diocesan AIDS Mass whichwas cefebrated here by Bishop Glasspool at 4:00 p.m. on October 20;Norris Battin at Praying Our Goodbyes at 4:00 p.m, on November 3;The Rev'd Dr. Eennie Chang, our Canterbury campus minister atU.C.,I., on November 10; and on December 8, Maria Dzida of Loaves& Fishes whose mission statement is "A guest comes, Christ comes!"

A new liturgical highlight happened on the Ejfth Sunday in Lent,March 17, the feast day of Patrick, Bishop and Missionary of Ireland.hle adapted, cefebrated and enjoyed a "Celtic Liturgy in Honor ofSaint Patrick" which The Rev'd Canon Diane M. Jardine Bruce createdwhen she was Rector of Saint C.lement's bv-the-Sea .in San Clemente.

Holy Week and Easter were celebrated wonderfully ! I think we worshipe drrrino 1.hcsa .'la\rs central to OUr lituroi r-a IqqlJ ecllLtcll LU (rul r.!LLr!yreut

vear and fo orrr Ch-isrian lirrino. rnd r ^m .rratefnl l-o a'l who made

this hapDen in 2013.

We stilf have work to do to discern how best to ce.lebrate Christmas.In 2013 we celebrated on Christmas Eve in our sanctuary with ourchi.Idren's Christmas Pageant & FamiIy Eucharist at 4:00 (213 peopleattended) and Fest.ival ChoraL Eucharists at 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. (withrespecLive attendance of 168 and 63). On Christmas Day we celebratedat 10:00 a.m. and 53 attended; I think 1-O:00 a.m. on Chr:-stmas Day,like 10:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, works we]l for us.

Ho\d to schedule our children's Pageant and Christmas Eve worshipremains a challenge and I wiff work with our Worship Commiss.ion totry something new in 2014. While j-t is on my mind in mid-January,I am wondering if the Pageant with an .informa.I Eucharist might be

best at 4:00 p.m. on the Sunday immediately before Christmas Eve/Day.It seems to me this woufd be most kind to our chil-dren and their

Page 3: Rector's report, budget & vestry ballot 2014

families. With 213 bodies in our sanctuary, famllies have sard thatthev and their friends could neither see nor hear the ones Lhey came

to see and hear. I lament this because Susan Caldwefl, Anne Conover,Margie Blev.ins-Boor, Kristy Kiper and others worked very hard onrevising our Pageant in 2013 and it was spectacu.Iar, well worthseeing and hearing. I wonder whether our All Angels' Courl might bethe best venue to see and hear a Pageant in-the-round where no onewou.ld be more than a few rows from their star participant, MidnightChristmas Eve mass, highliqhts in my own childhood, are fading, hereand efsewhere; people do not come out for worship .Late on ChristmasEve here. Might 4:00-or-5:00 and 6:00-or-7:00 p.m. Festiva.I Chora.lEucharists in our sanctuary serve more of us better. I want ourChristmas worship to be as excef l-ent and serve as many souls asour Holy Week and Easter worship does.

2013 was filled with hiqhlishts for me:

January I, 201,3 marked Lhe first day of The Bible Cha1lenge.Dozens of parishioners took this .,.Chattenge suggested by NorrisBattin and made possible by Susan Cal-dwelf . I found readlng: threechapters of Hebrew Scripture (old Testament), one Psa1m, and onechapter of Christian Scripture (New Testament ) daily a possible andhelpful way of reading the Bible. The Bibfe Chal-l-enge continues !

our Wednesday evenings-in-Lent series cefebrated the 350'h anniversaryof our Book of Common Prayer with playwright Charles Wil-liams'"Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury, " Louise and Corinne Stover broughtthe Engl-j-sh Reformation to flfe in Michael's Room and Steve Caldwell,as the skefeton, and Clyde Dodge, as Cranmer, gave mernorableperformances, as did fine week-by-week supportlng casts.

Bishops Bruno and Bruce headfined Canterbury Irvine's "Spring CardenParty" on Saturday afLernoon, April 13, at Saint Andrew's EpiscopalChurch. Blessedly, many Saint Michael & Aff Angelites participated.Our own Keith Nelson now chairs Canterbury lrvine's Board.

On Saturday evening, May 18, our Friends of Music hosted the vocalgroup LYRA from St. Petersburg, Russia. Stephen Black brought LYRA

to us and parishioners hosted members of the quartet and thearfamilies overnight in their homes. LYRA's rlch and profound sounds

Page 4: Rector's report, budget & vestry ballot 2014

in the beautiful, setting of our sanctuary is something I willremember vividly as f hope for LYRA to return to us.

A wonderfuf new program, "Praise and Waves, " was a Saturday morninggathering at Crystal Cove made possible by Susan Caldwelt, BethBianchi, Myrna Ireland, Julie Jenkins, Melinda Rader, Merilee & BruceBennett,' Linda Sevier, BilI Leasure, Catherine Stover Karlene Milferand f al-so attended. When I arrived in Corona del Mar, a parish-ioner gave me an arl icfe r-i cled (I think) "The Four Ecologies ofSouthern Ca.lifornia and How to Use Them prayerfuIly. " Clearly thebeach was one,' the others were the mountains, the desert, and.,.the freeways ! We were prayerfuJ- at the beach on June 8.

Worship in-the-round in AII Ange.Is, Court on Sunday morningsAugusL 18 and 25 and September l were necessitated by our sanctuaryrefurbishment, and I found them to be delightful. Afl of us werevery close together, we laughed as we mis-sLepped new licurgicalnhnronnr>nh cinainn ^^1.\^^i 5- i t . ^- -- -+l-. l^r'iu,,u!evVrot,,rJ, vqr JrIr9_Lil9 eUIlOecl aS lI We arr aurrrsurC VenUe,and we had to sit in new places with new views and sounds.

Jackie Dodd made possible our participation in Canterbury Irvine, sSecond Annual Canterbury Cup Golf Cl-assic on October 12 at theRancho San .Ioaquin Goff Course. Fore of us participated !

With nany others, Joan Short created a "stewardship Celebration,,with a catered l-unch and Bishop Roskam speaking in All- Angels, Courton September 8. It truly was a cefebration of our program d Budget:Fewer dollars have forced us to make difficult decisions andac+iht ich nrinririac which will Serve uS wFl I in hofh nresFntI'!!JUr

and future.

"Rabbi and Priest" on Wednesday evening, October 23, was a privilegeand pJeasure for me and my friend and col)eague, Mark Miller, RabbiEmeritus and senior scholar of Temp.Ie Bat yahm, sometimes r am askedwhat I want my legacy as rector here to be. I usual-Iy respond"maklng sacramental/lit.urgica1 worship and Christlan life togethermore and more accessible and enjoyable by .children of all ages, .,'And I hope my long-standing relationship with Mark, both persona.I

Page 5: Rector's report, budget & vestry ballot 2014

and professj.onal, may serve as a microcosm of what is possiblebetween peopl-e of different faiths in the same G-d (as Rabbi Millerwoul-d ins i st ) .

The Episcopal News Weekly is available .in our sanctuary every Sundaymorning. The October 27 issue pictured twenty "Diocesan leaders"taken at a meeting of Bishops and Deans with members of our StandingCommittee. Included were: Bishop Bruce/ Murry McClaren, RichardZevnik and me; and at Diocesan Convention in December, Lynn Headleywas elected to the 2014 Standing Corunittee. Saint Michael-& A1l Angelites are l-eaders in our Diocese of Los AngeJ,es.Beyond our Diocese, Norris Battin was el-ected to a second term onthe Board of Directors of the Compass Rose Society, the internationaLmlssj-on organization that raises funds for the work of the Archbishopof Canterbury.

Leaders in our Parish are not only Vestry and staff members.Fine programs have been created "outside the box, " withoutCommissions or committees meeting, For example, "Women,s Fellowship"was wonderfully created by Bet.h Bianchi and Mel-inda Rader and meetsin homes off campus. I hope and trust you wj-Il read about suchministries for which I can take no credit el-sewhere in these reports.

I hope similar initiative wj,11 come through our CommunicationCommission, Clyde Dodge continues his superb ministry, and showsconsiderabLe initiative for which we al-I are thankfuf, asCommunication's chair and Vestryperson but, as Don HaynesconsistentLy te]1s me, f/we must get with the technological changeshappening all around us. More people find Saint Michael- & AlI Angelsthrough our web site than via the o1' ye]low pages; people do reademail-s frorn us; some now want to be inforned of our activities via"tweets" or "Twitter. " I don't even know what aLl- the technofoqicafterminology means, but I do know we need to get with it,

If you walk into our Parish Office and say "Susan" or "peter" youare likely to receive a response from: Susan Beechner, our OfficeManager/Parish Secretary, Susan Caldwell, our Minister of ChristianEducation, Susan Westrom, our Sexton (Episcopaf-speak for custodian),Peter Coppen (who keeps our database, produces quarterly ParishDirectories and has created a bookkeeping svstem whj-ch our auditor

recommends to everyone in our Diocese), and/or me. If you said"Donnie" on Mondays our bookkeeper, Donnie Lewis, would respond.

his leaving, Some panicked! I tried to reassure citing our heritageof great Ministers of Music during my tenure: Burton Karson, RodgerWhitten, David RipIey, Tim Getz, David Clemensen, and Stephen BIack.A committee of Barbara Black, Teri Corbet, Michele Dulson, AfiH:rrhion qi.ova M.\rri S and RiChard Zevnik assisted me in a Searghprocess which wiff bring us Ray W. Urwin, D.M.A., in January 2014.

Bob Grant answered my call immediately when Stephen announced hisdeparture and Bob served as abLy as Stephen had. Bob has writtena one page Philosophy of Sacred Music and incarnates what he haswritten: "cal-led by God...to equip ...to serve ...to facifitate...to see music as a part of the whole contributing to aLf hre areand do . Lhe highest pursujt of all musicaf exceJJence, artisLry,and beauty. " Bob produced worship buf ]-etins for the Diocesan AIDSMass, Praying Our Goodbyes, and the Christmas Pageant & FamilyEucharist,' some joked that he wanted to be our Parish Secretary!I am very sorry to see Bob leave, and wish him and his partnerJoseph well as they move to MaIibay, near Manila, Philippines."S:r-rad Sn:r.c" r^r:c fhe fonic of mV Artir-le in n|r Scnfemher ...LOVeIttl q! !+vrv

In The Church for a Changing Worl-d, the Forward Movement bookfetsent with end of 20L3 financial statements, Phvlfis Tickfe writes,

"WhiLe it is c.Lear the institutionaJ- church wiff continuedespife presentl-y decTining nenbership and attendance,it is afso cfear that it wiTL have to reconfigure andaccommodate new ways of being church. We cannot deny thatthe church is chanqinq. We can see this as a death sentence

Page 7: Rector's report, budget & vestry ballot 2014

or see it as the birth of something new. We can -ljstencarefuTly and respond appropriatefy to Lhe needs of newgenerations of Christians and the needs of the world.We can use our resources to support ne!/ express ians of thechurch. We can trust, as former Archbishop Rowan WifTiansso often saidl that God is doing a new thing in our worLdand that, as faithful Christians in a time of such great changelour primary caff is to serve the kingdon of God wherever andhowever it nay appear.'l

Al-though other congregations are confronting more significantchallenges we cannot deny that we are suffering declining attendanceand resources. We can do what we can do only about our own situation.You will find at tendance reports produced by Peter Coppen furtheral"ong in these reporcs. taihile our membership is st.eady t5I3 in 2012,511- in 201,I; 509 in 2010) according to ParochiaJ Reports, decliningattendance says to me that more and more of us are attending worshipless and l-ess. This worries me, of course, and feads me to wonder"Why?" In our Program & Budget for 2013 and 2014 you will see thatour actual- j-ncome in 2013 was $525,59I .24, in 2012 it was $560,640;in 201-1 - $527,146; 2010 - $554,369;2009 - $587,I44; 2008 -9563,642; 2001 - $6-t9,898;2006 - $624,220;2005 - 9656,413; 2004 -$680,465. How can we continue our Christian -Lif e together thinking"Al-f is wel-I1"? Professor Tickle says, "We cannot deny that thechurch is changing. " I think that we cannot deny that our church ischanging and that we must changer Eoo,' I hope in ways that "serve chekinqdom of cod. "

Concluding on personal notes: In June I attended a CREDO conferenceat a retreat cenCer near Richmond, Virginia. The acronym CREDO

stands for Clergy Reflection, Education, Discernment, Opportunity.My focus was on how J might serve God during the rest of my body-bound chapter of eternaf life. "When will you retire?" continues tobe asked of me often. In response to prayer, a date to retire cameto me while walking afong the James River, but that date is so farin the future that I simply continue to say "as }ong as I am beingcreative and producLive, am spiritually and physically healthy,and am serving God as best I am able in this place at this time,I wll-l- cont j-nue to minister as rector here; and I know whose counselto trust about my heafth, productivity, creativiLy and abi]11y."

Page 8: Rector's report, budget & vestry ballot 2014

After CREDO, I met Frances and Don in Washington D.C, and we spenttime there, with my brother in Phil-adelphia, and with Don's Godfatherwho is Rector of Saint Edward the Martyr Episcopal Church on EastL09th Street in New York City. Other than enjoying time with famiJ"yand friends durj-ng short trips to Berkeley for meetings of the Boardof Trustees of the Church Divinity School of the Pacific and/or Cal-

athl-etics, those two weeks in Virginia-D. C . - Phi fadefphia-New Yorkwere my only time away in 2013, but the timing was perfect ! hle'dsold the house in which we lived for twenty-five years and time awaygave us opportunity to ponder "What's next?" Don is happily situatedin San Pedro studying film making/editing at Marlmount CaliforniaUniversity and working twenty hours/week with The Port of LosAngeles. Frances & I signed a two year lease for 34 Mainsail Drj-vein Jasmine Creek which meets two criteria: "very close to church andverv friencllv for T,rrke- nrrr ool den refriever."

So, here I am, "very c.lose" and feeling exceedingly bfessed to berector of such a wonderful Parish Church as Saint Mlchael & AlIAngels I
