FROM THE PASTORFROM THE PASTORFROM THE PASTORFROM THE PASTOR

Elections

This has been one of the weirdest elections ever. I

think most people agree on that no matter who

they’re voting for. The strangest words are now

commonplace on the news. Racism has become an

acceptable platform. Candidates are not only calling

out their opponent, but their opponent’s supporters.

Every election cycle, we get to this place in the

conversation where we’re all doomed if the other side

wins. This time, it got there pretty quickly and has

been growing ever since. Each side is convinced that

the other will absolutely destroy the country, if not

the entire world.

Obviously, hyperbole is one of the main tactics of

elections, and no one is innocent of it. But this year in

particular, the hostility is palpable. In the last debate

the candidates didn’t even shake hands and it

sincerely feels like the biggest enemy is not anyone

outside our country that might threaten us, the

biggest enemy is the other political party inside our

country.

As people of faith, voting is our responsibility. It is our

call as citizens of this world to make sure our leaders

are working for justice for all people. And certainly,

some candidates have had ideas and goals that have

gone against God’s will and vision, and we have a

responsibility to vote and to speak out against ideas

and goals that are unjust.

But as people of faith, it is also our responsibility not

to get drawn up in the hate and vitriol that is present

in any election. We have a responsibility to see those

we don’t agree with – even those who might do

terrible things – as human beings. Listening,

understanding, reconciliation, forgiveness, loving your

enemy – these are all terms we bandy about as

Christians. And we need to do all of these things in

easy times and in the hardest times – election years

included.

On November 9th, the voting will be over, the

commercials will end, and the campaign managers

won’t need us anymore. And we still have to come

together and work, and worship, and even live with

people who voted differently. We’ll still need to go

and eat Thanksgiving dinner with our family. And

someone will probably say something that will

infuriate us and maybe we will feel compelled to say

something in return.

But in the end, the biggest testament to our Christian

faith may not be how we voted, it may be our ability

to love those we disagree with.

Moving from Welcoming to Inviting

Pastor Grant Eckart

Please make plans to attend our yearly discussion of

outreach during the November 6 Lifetime Learning

hour. While as individuals and as a congregation we

do a good job in welcoming others into Gethsemane,

there is always opportunity for improvement. Pastor

Grant Eckhart will lead the discussion centered upon

moving from "Welcoming" to "Inviting". Pastor

Eckhart currently serves as minister at Jacob’s Porch,

our Lutheran congregation for OSU students and

associates. Pastor Eckhart will also be preaching

during our worship service that morning.

Welcome Our Children’s

Ministry Assistant

Julia Wiebe is a junior at Capital University major-

ing in International Studies with minors in History

and Spanish. Her favorite thing about Capital is

the Yarn Club. They meet once a week to knit,

crochet, and share community. Before joining she

knew how to knit but didn’t do it very much. Now

Julia knits probably more than she should, espe-

cially during exams. She is originally from Kewas-

kum, Wisconsin, a small town about an hour

north of Milwaukee. When at home, she loves

watching hockey and cheesy movies, baking,

reading, and playing with the family’s three dogs.

She seems to embody many Wisconsinite stereo-

types as she loves cheese, winter, and the Green

Bay Packers! During the summer, she works at

the same Lutheran camp that she grew up going

to in the woods of northern Wisconsin. She loves

helping kids to grow in their faith and have fun

while doing it! After college, she hopes to travel

abroad with the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global

Mission program and to continue to do God’s

work in the world however she is called.

Adejoke Adesodn

200 Broad Meadows Boulevard

Apt. 5

Columbus, OH 43214

614-316-5321

Adejoke, who prefers to be called Ade, moved to the United States from

Nigeria. She was baptized and confirmed as a Pentecostal, but we are

happy to have her join us in the Lutheran faith at Gethsemane through

Affirmation of Faith. She graduated with a degree in statistics from a college in Nigeria.

Erin Carlile (Glyn)

Clara, Rory

6393 Ridge Lake Court

Westerville, OH 43082

614-736-0538

Erin is a cradle Lutheran who has spent her adulthood thus far

enthusiastically church hopping. Since moving to Columbus ten years

ago, she has visited or attended 20 different churches! Which makes

her all the more thrilled to finally, finally call Gethsemane "home."

Erin is a native of San Antonio, Texas and has strong German-Texan-Lutheran roots, which is probably why all

those non-Lutheran churches she visited over the years never felt quite right. She is married to a handsome

British guy named Glyn, who you may see each year on Christmas Eve. Glyn was raised to be suspicious of the

state-sanctioned Anglican Church, and his own father fervently believes that all churches in England should be

turned into pubs, so the fact that he supports Erin and the kids in their desire to be part of a church community is

no small thing. Children Clara and Rory are the only true Buckeyes in the family, and seem quite proud of that. The

whole family lives in Westerville with their two dogs, Mr. Bounds and Toffee.

Rick and Dianne Nelson

521 Sioux Drive


614-891-3192

Rick and Dianne transferred from Grace Lutheran Church in Westerville.

They had been members of Gethsemane many years ago until they

moved to Westerville to be closer to the high school. Dianne was

baptized, their oldest daughter Kristine was confirmed and their two

other children Eric and Melinda were baptized at Gethsemane. Rick and Dianne enjoy taking trips, reading and

going to movies. They have three adult grandchildren – Kandace, Kody, and Justice.

Kreig – 814-282-8380

Deidre – 614-779-6857

Kreig Spahn grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania, about 1.5 hours

north of Pittsburgh. He went to college at Wittenberg University, and

graduated with a degree in Mathematics. He then went to Bowling

Green State University, where he got his Masters Degree in Analytics. He currently works as an AML (Anti-Money

Laundering) Investigator. In his spare time, he likes to read and cheer on Pittsburgh sports teams. Kreig grew up in

the Lutheran church, and is excited to join the Gethsemane congregation!

Deidre Hooley is very excited to be here at Gethsemane. She grew up in Columbus and lived in Grandview

Heights. She went to Wittenberg University and got her bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. She

currently is a Kindergarten teacher at a school where all of the children are from Africa. In her spare time she likes

to sing, read, and spend time with her cat, Dexter. Deidre’s parents still live in Grandview and she has an older

sister and two little brothers, one who is 11 and the other who is 4. They just moved to the area recently and

found Gethsemane online as a Lutheran church nearby. She is so glad they decided to come and check us out,

because it is now their new home! Deidre is looking forward to meeting everyone and becoming an active

member in the church.

Diane Spink

4459 Wrangell Place

Columbus, OH 43230

614-471-2330

Diane Spink was born in northwestern Minnesota where she was

baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. She graduated second in

her class and attended college in North Dakota where she double

majored in mathematics and computer science. She was also a member

of the scholars program there. Later she became a member of Mensa.

Diane moved to Columbus in the 70s and married Gary Spink. They have no children.

She was a computer programmer/systems analyst for several companies, obtained an F.L.M.I. life insurance

degree, created a greeting card business using her own photography, worked for a bookstore, and is currently

working for a craft store as a guest service clerk.

Diane loves music and plays many instruments both by music and by ear. She loves reading non-fiction books,

especially in the areas of comparative religion and psychology. As a storyteller, she loves to read and listen to

stories and then pass them on. She also enjoys creating craft projects to donate in areas such as knitting, sewing,

and embroidery.
