AT A GLANCE Peachland zoning bylaws up for review; public to be consulted
On September 18 between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., residents will be able to drop by the community centre to provide comment about possible changes to Peachland’s zoning bylaws. Peachland’s zoning bylaws were last updated in 1996, and strong public participation is most important! page 5

Contingent of council sees red about Christmas Light Up event handover to chamber Joanne Layh / Peachland View Plans to move this year’s Christmas Light Up event from Friday night to an all-day Saturday event hosted by the Peachland Chamber were met with mixed reviews from Peachland council this week. Earlier this summer district staff made the decision to pass off the Christmas Light Up event to the chamber on a one-year trial basis. The chamber hopes an expansion of the event to include a
daytime traditional Christmas market will attract more people to Peachland and help give the local business community a boost in the off-season. “I’m a very strong believer that if we can pass this on to other organizations they will be the better for it and we will also be the better for it so I support this decision 100 per cent,” Councillor Peter Schierbeck said at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting. “I think it’s a great idea and I look forward to bigger and better events next year. I strongly believe that any time we can
pass off anything that has been started and very successfully run by district personnel to another organization so that now the district personnel have the time and energies to produce something else would be of benefit to our community.” Councillor Moberg agreed, saying he was in favour of the chamber taking over the event. Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe told council that as a local non-profit the chamber See CHRISTMAS LIGHT UP on page 2

RDCO exchanges temporary dog licence tags for permanent tags Dog owners who have purchased a 2013 temporary licence for their dog are encouraged to exchange it for a new permanent licence. There is no cost to make the switch, and the permanent licence can be renewed online without being physically replaced. “Every dog owner that makes the switch by September 30 will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a grand prize of $100 and a free 2014 dog license or an additional prize of $50 or $25,” said RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith. The exchange can be made at the RDCO office or the Weddell Place Dog Pound in Kelowna.

have proven that they have the talent and the capacity to host a quality community-based event. “Paddlefest this summer is a stellar example of this,” Wiebe said. “The district will continue to have a role in this event as a liaison and active partner. The chamber will be spearheading the event and will be collaborating with other non-profits to ensure that the event is successful.” However, a small contingent of council – Councillors Hall, Fortin and Kerbes – were very unhappy and distressed to learn it is within staff’s jurisdiction to make decisions about community events as important as the Christmas Light Up. “There is an issue here
of being informed,” Councillor Hall said. “On an issue where a community function has changed substantially I just feel it should have come to council for debate before the decision was made. I just feel that perhaps on this occasion it wasn’t dealt with correctly and I personally would like to make the best of the situation but I think as a matter of what comes to council and what doesn’t, I do have an issue. This should have been brought to council before the decision was made.” Wiebe responded by saying council had been informed about the notion of partnering with the community groups through her annual reports to council for the last three years. The director went on to say that

Cops For Kids wheeled into Peachland last Friday on their 10-day journey to raise funds for children in medical, physical, or traumatic crisis. Part of the funds they raised was a $1,000 donation from the Peachland Lions Club.
earlier this summer, when a partnership with the chamber was being investigated, that information was also included in her June monthly report to council. However not all councillors were satisfied with Wiebe’s decision. “I was not happy to read about the contracting out of two of our popular local community events,” Councillor Cindy Fortin said, referring also to a decision to contract the Rattlesnake Island Swim out another agency better equipped to manage the risks of an open water event. “In my opinion contracting out these two events is totally inappropriate.” Councillor Kerbes also took objection with the decision to hand off the Christmas Light Up to the chamber. “I consider there to be two problems with this proposal. The process. Council was advised in June that discussions were underway. I would have thought that once these discussions were at a certain stage the plan would have been brought back to council for discussion and ratification. This was not the case.” Councillor Moberg defended the criticisms of Wiebe’s decision, stating that she has done nothing wrong.
“I have to agree with Cheryl’s decision and the way she has done this … She’s running under a policy that she is directed by and I don’t think she is out of line whatsoever. She’s doing her job and we’re here criticizing her,” Councillor Moberg said, adding that there is nothing in Wiebe’s policy direction that says don’t touch the Christmas Light Up. CAO Elsie Lemke also defended Wiebe’s decision by stating that the community services department does strive very hard to have council’s directives come to fruition. “The 2011, 2012 and 2013 annual reports all identify the development of partnerships with businesses, community service groups involved in the community as one of the number one priorities for community recreation services. So that is the rationale we are going for here.” Lemke said, adding that she had discussed and agreed with Wiebe that the time to bring this before council would be after the one-year trial when it could be determined how the arrangement was working. As well, Lemke said the change was operational in nature as opposed to policy. However, in addition to the decision not being deferred to council Coun.
Kerbes, a member of the Lions Club, said his second problem with the decision was a lack of discussion with the Peachland Lions and Rotary Clubs. “Neither of these parties have been involved in any of these discussions. Their ideas have not been sought and they haven’t been provided by district staff with any of the details. These two clubs who have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to this community to provide facilities and give donations to the many groups especially the youth, were completely ignored … It is obvious the chamber cannot carry on the event without the support of these two clubs so why were they ignored? As a matter of fact recently after everything was all done I talked apparently with the chamber of commerce and he said they could not do it without these two clubs.” However, according to Peachland Chamber president Rob Campbell, chamber staff had met with both the Rotarians and Lions prior to last Tuesday’s committee of the whole and council meetings to discuss their collaboration in the Light Up event. Campbell says the contract with the district for See PEACHLAND on page 3

Peachland Chamber to host this year’s Christmas Light Up event Continued from page 2
the event was only very recently signed but since then chamber liaison officer Gayle Scott has met with Rotarians at their weekly meeting and spent considerable time talking to a number of rotary members about the fact they chamber has every intention of continuing to work with Rotary Club to make this a family event. Campbell went on to say he contacted and met with Coun. Kerbes to express the chamber’s desire for the continued help of the Lions Club at the Christmas Light Up and that as in previous years district funding for the event would be used to purchase hot dogs and hot chocolate for the service clubs. “This is a cooperative event. There was never any indication that the chamber was going to take this over on its own without
the inclusion of the service clubs,” Campbell told The View. “My reading of the contact with the community over the past week or so is that there is an expectation that the traditional Christmas Light Up will occur in the same fashion as it has before,” Councillor Condon said. Wiebe assured council that the core elements of the event would remain. “With Christmas Light Up we have said, ‘It has to be a family event. They have to have Santa there. They have to have giveaways. They have to have the mayor turn on the lights when it is dark. We’ve said all of those things because those are the things that we felt really mattered to the quality of the event,” Wiebe said. Council approved a one-year trial contract with the chamber at last Tuesday’s council meeting.

Opinion
Pupils today wouldn’t make the grade Lyonel Doherty / Special to the Peachland View When dear old gramps tells you (through a vast river of drool) that he only obtained a Grade 8 education, don’t laugh. He’s probably the smartest guy you know. After perusing the Grade 8 final exam in 1895 Kansas, you might be compelled to encourage today’s students to pull up their socks or pull their heads out of their collective smart phones. Taking that exam today would make the most ardent pupil sweat bricks, providing he didn’t run out of the class screaming first. Let’s get to it, shall we? Define verse, stanza and paragraph. Give nine rules for the use of punctuation, and name the parts of speech and define those that have no modifications. Take a drink because it only gets harder. Name and define the fundamental rules of arithmetic. (Are you kidding? Uhhh, one plus one equals two.) If a load of wheat weighs 3,942 pounds, what is it worth at 50 cents a bushel, deducting 1,050 pounds for tare? (Where’s my mommy?) District No. 33 has a valuation of $35,000. What is the necessary levy to carry on a school for seven months at $50 per month, and have $104 for incidentals? What is the cost of 40 boards, 12 inches wide and 16 feet long at $20 per metre? Stop trembling. You’re almost done; only two and a half hours to go. Define phonetic, orthography, etymology and syllabication. What are elementary sounds and how are they classified? What are the following, and give examples of each: trigraph, subvocals, diphthong, cognate letters and linguals. Give four substitutes for caret “u.” Write 10 words frequently mispronounced and indicate pronunciation by use of diacritical marks and by syllabication. Describe the mountains of North America. (Ummm... aren’t they very high and rugged?) Name all of the republics of Europe and give the capital of each. Why is the Atlantic coast colder than the Pacific in the same latitude? There are more questions on this exam, but you get the point. Suddenly, we’re not as smart as we imagined. And with each section of the test having a one-hour time limit, you would require nerves of steel to crawl out of that stifling classroom in one piece. Yes, no wonder they dropped out after the eighth grade. Gramps was right – we don’t know anything, except how to be lemmings jumping to our demise in the electronic age of texting, Facebook and Twitter. No, Gramps, that has nothing to do with birds.

The sky is not falling, despite what Suzuki says Wonder if I am the only person in Peachland who is tired of reading David Suzuki’s constant tirade of alarmist rhetoric of approaching doom nearly every week? Anyone who questions that CO2 is the one and only climate control knob is labeled as a “deluded denier.” Skepticism is the very essence of science. It seems that his intent is not only to scare the public in order to advance his agenda but also to stifle dissent. As the planet has not warmed for the last 17 years in spite of a rise in CO2, as admitted by the IPCC chairman in February 2013, his rhetoric is getting ever more shrill. CO2 is a trace gas that constitutes less than four one hundredths of one percent of the atmosphere and a gas without which there would be no life on this planet. Have you noticed the pea under the shell has been changed? No longer is the emphasis on global warming but now it’s “climate change” or “extreme weather.” The theory of CO2 causing runaway global warming is at present nothing more than a theory. In true science a theory has to be corroborated either by experiment or by observation of the data. Well, you might ask, what about all the “unprecedented” weather that we are experiencing lately? My reply is, what unprecedented weather? The number of hurricanes to hit North America has been declining. Today, in fact, the number of days with-

out a category 3, 4 or 5 hurricane making landfall is a record not seen since 1900. The oceans have been rising at the rate of about 3mm per year since the Little Ice Age; that is 1.2 inches per decade and the rate of increase has not accelerated during the 17 years of satellite altimetry. Hardly a catastrophic rise. The same observations apply to droughts and floods, not just in North America but worldwide. Unfortunately this data is not being reported by the mainstream media, perhaps because natural variation of climate is less newsworthy than predictions of impending catastrophe. The science definitely is not settled. Such a discussion should be based on data, and not on an appeal to the emotions. If we want to prepare for future climate change we should also consider the possibility of global cooling, which would be much more disastrous for the world than a couple of degrees of warming. Oh! And by the way, in case you are wondering, I consider myself to be an environmentalist. I do not believe the Earth is flat. I do believe in the Holocaust. I do believe that the moon landings actually occurred and I am not in the pay of the oil companies. Michael Gloster, Peachland

Commentary
FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK
District to offer important community consultation opportunity Mayor Keith Fielding / Commentary On September 18 between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., residents will be able to drop by the community centre to provide comment about possible changes to Peachland’s zoning bylaws. While that may not sound like the most exciting way to spend your time, you may be surprised to learn just how significant zoning bylaws are in affecting the look and feel of our community, the quality of life enjoyed by its residents, and the degree to which the community is accessible, welcoming, and responsive to issues of environmental sustainability. Zoning bylaws regulate how land is developed and used, including what can be done on a particular property, the height of buildings, setbacks, location of garden sheds and accessory buildings, what parking is required, creation of secondary suites, garden suites, affordable housing, bed
and breakfast regulations, hillside development, sustainability issues, and many other important matters. Our zoning bylaws were last updated in 1996, and over the past several months council and staff have been working to identify potential changes that would respond to current needs and the emerging challenges of a growing community. Strong public participation is most important! Council needs to hear from the community on these matters and that is what the consultation process is designed to achieve. One such event has already been held and more than 70 people provided feedback during an outdoor, farmers market day event. More opinions are needed, and I strongly encourage readers to take part. Drop in anytime between 4 p.m and 7 p.m. at the Peachland Community Centre on Wednesday, September 18 to take part. Staff and consultants assisting with the review will be on hand to answer questions and a presentation will
Trade agreements necessary to BC economy MP Dan Albas / Commentary In one of my July reports I referenced the importance of innovation and cited specific examples where our government has entered into partnership agreements with many value added wood producers in Western Canada including Okanagan Falls. The importance of developing new wood based building technology is critically important to many communities in Okanagan-Coquihalla as it creates many well-paying jobs and supports rural resource communities. In the same report I also referenced the central need to create new trade agreements that in turn can open up new markets that our local manufacturers can access. In previous reports I have referenced the efforts of our government in creating new trade agreements with other countries and at the same time have also noted that there will always be those who continue to oppose these trade agreements. Why is trade important to British Columbia and Canada? Rather the engage in a rhetorical answer to this question I believe it is important to provide specific real world examples. Last week the community of Whistler hosted the tenth annual Global Buyers Mission
and Wood First Forum. In many respects this forum is like the world series of B.C. wood products as over 350 buyers representing 23 different countries gathered to do business with B.C. wood producers. When you consider that over 40 per cent of all Canadian wood products are now exported internationally clearly the importance of trade deals and this forum are key to our forest industry and our regional economies. In fact, despite recent challenges within the sector, the Canadian forest industry currently employs roughly 235,000 Canadians and contributes over $20 billion annually to our GDP. The spin off employment and economic impact on other industries as we know locally is also very significant. Getting back onto the topic of trade and the forest industry, while some have questioned trade with countries such as China, South Korea and more recently India, it is also important to recognize that wood product exports have increased significantly to these countries. China is now Canada’s second largest wood export market and South Korea has moved up to number five. Canada now exports significant amounts of wood
product to over 20 different countries that also include Japan, Taiwan, Netherlands, Philippines, Belgium, Turkey, Hong Kong, Pakistan and New Zealand to name a few. We are also fortunate that Canada’s Minister of International Trade is the Hon. Ed Fast from Abbotsford, British Columbia and as such has a firm understanding on the importance of trade to the BC Forest industry. How does trade and wood product exports benefit us locally? In several previous reports and in Parliament I have often shared the success of Penticton-based Structurlam Industries, which has now expanded into Okanagan Falls. This innovative value added company provides over 150 well paying jobs. Much of the lumber sourced by Structurlam comes from Kalesnikoff Lumber, a rural mill located in Thrums, B.C. that has taken pride in being a B.C. specialty wood producer for over 70 years. Each of these operations employs many local workers and utilizes many local industries for support services and supplies. While in Whistler at the Global Wood Buyers forum, over 150 architects participated in a forum to learn more about new innovative building technologies, like the

Snooker champion Cliff Thorburn to return to Peachland Jean Saul / Special to the Peachland View September 1 was the launch of our early bird renewal campaign. Members can renew before November 30 for $46; after that date dues will increase to $47 for the 2014 membership year. If you were contacted in early June as a recipient of your legion years of service pin and were unable to attend the ceremony, you may pick up your pin at the general meeting
on September 23. Upcoming events at the legion include: • Country Naturally – Saturday, September 14; • An Evening with Kelly Stewart – Saturday, September 21; and • Canadian world snooker champion Cliff Thorburn – Saturday, September 28. Cliff Thorburn was the first player to shoot a perfect game in a televised championship at the Crucible in England. Thorburn was
also the Canadian Snooker Champion for 13 years. Watch for further details. This is a return engagement at the legion for Thorburn. The Peachland Ambassadorial Society will be holding its pageant and 65th Anniversary weekend September 13, 14 and 15. Gabrielle Nixon is our candidate this year and has worked hard to learn the history of our legion for presentation during her sponsor speech on pageant night. If you can come out and cheer her on it would be greatly ap-
preciated. Did you know that recently your legion, through its poppy fund, donated almost $5,000 to help obtain an exoskeleton frame for Captain Trevor Green who was wounded in Afghanistan while on patrol? These funds were part of the larger donation of $100,000 made by branches and ladies auxiliaries to enable Captain Green to walk again. Thank you to all that donate to our poppy fund as this is truly your generosity at work.
New school year begins with more students than expected in school district Upcoming meeting will explore possibility of middle school French immersion on Westside Moyra Baxter Special to the Peachland View On the first day of school, a mother was encouraging her son to hurry up and get going or he would be late. He told her he really wasn’t looking forward to going back. “Last year some of the kids made fun of the way I dressed. And others knew more than I did about iPads and things like that. Do I really have
Moyra Baxter to go?” “Don’t be silly,” said his mother, “of course you have to go – you’re the principal!” The 2013-2014 school year has begun. As usual, there were first day jitters for students attending new schools and for parents whose kindergarten students are starting on a new journey. In the Central Okanagan School District, the usual adjustments are being made to accommodate the students who have unexpectedly arrived in our schools, or who haven’t turned up as expected. It appears that our student numbers will be higher than we predicted, but it will be a few weeks until we are certain of the final tally. The fire at the Westside Lions’ Community Centre means that students and teachers who usually use part of the building for our Westside alternate programs have to work out of Central School in Kelowna. We hope this will be a short-term solution, and are looking for accommodation on this side of the lake. The coming weeks will be busy as the Board of
Education conducts consultation meetings regarding the new catchment area for Mar Jok Elementary, scheduled to open in September 2014, which will affect the Shannon Lake and Rose Valley Elementary catchments, too. This will not be an easy decision for trustees, as no matter where the boundaries are drawn, there will be unhappy families. There will also be a public meeting at Glenrosa Middle School to discuss the possible expansion of middle grades French immersion to the Westside. I have long felt that having only one middle French immersion school in the district (KLO Middle in Kelowna) inconveniences those students living on the Westside and in Lake Country. The Westside discussions will be a good start to providing more access to French immersion, and to also alleviating some of the overcrowding at KLO. Next year will see mid-
dle schools expand to Lake Country and Okanagan Mission. Currently these are the only areas in our district that do not follow the middle school model. This means that in those areas two grades will be moving on at the end of this school year, so at the elementary schools both Grade 6 and 7 students are taking leadership roles (and during school assemblies get to sit on the benches at the back instead of on the floor!) There has been much in the news about the contract talks with both support staff and teachers. There is a change in bargaining procedures, too, because on July 31 the provincial government dismissed the elected Board of the BC Public School Employers’ Association, and is currently bargaining directly with CUPE and will do so with teachers in the coming months. I know everyone hopes new contracts can be

NEWS FROM THE 50 PluS ACTIVITY CENTRE
Retirement society celebrates 40 years of service in Peachland Pat Grieve / Special to the Peachland View
Did you know that 2013 marks the 40th year of the Peachland and District Retirement Society? The society began even earlier under the auspices of the Kelowna Seniors, but folks here decided to go it alone and were granted society status in 1973.
Anniversary open house
We want to celebrate just a little, and on Saturday, October 5 we will hold an open house at which all of our activity groups will have a table and for some, a demonstration of what they do. Everyone is welcome to come and browse and enjoy some refreshments. We will have some old photos and scrapbooks open for view – you might even find yourself in one of them! Watch for more on this event. Posters and ads will be going up soon.
Fall activity schedule
Most of the activities that stopped for the summer have resumed by now. The exception is Marsha’s Aerobics for the Not so Young, which will start on September 18. There is a time change for Taryn’s Yoga class on Wednesdays. Instead of 1:30 p.m.2:30 p.m., this class will run from 7:45 a.m.-8:45 a.m.
Roberta’s Art Club will start again on Friday October 11 and there is the possibility of her starting a beginner’s painting class so if this interests you please call the office and leave your name. For a complete list of activities drop in for a schedule or check the community event listing in this paper. If you are new to Peachland, the 50 Plus Activity Centre is a great place to meet new friends. I would like to make a special mention of the chess group that meets Wednesday afternoons. This very small group would welcome players experienced or not. It seems a shame more folk don’t turn out for this. I gather chess is quite challenging but once you learn it, you will find it fascinating.
Membership fees
Membership fees for 2013 are prorated to $10 for new members after September 1. As of January 1 next year the renewal fee will be $15 as before. Membership enables you to take part in any or all of the activities offered by the activity centre.
Potluck supper meeting
Our monthly potluck supper/meetings are starting again, the first is
Friday, September 27. Dinner will take place at 6 p.m. with entertainment to follow at 7 p.m. This month the entertainment will be provided by the Summerland Bluegrass Group, which has had rave reviews from previous audiences, so come on out and enjoy. Bring a large portion of your favourite dish and your own cutlery and dishes. Participation is not restricted to just members; everyone is welcome. We have programs lined up for the next months, and of course Christmas will be the highlight with Santa and great music from Mellita and her band on December 13.
Flu shot clinic
Mark your calendars for the annual flu shot clinic which will take place on Friday, November 1. We have had a busy summer with rentals for various functions and for this we are grateful as they are a prime source of income. The centre does not receive grants of any kind so we do rely on membership fees and rentals, and of course, bingo revenues. Last month we gave out over $2,500 in bingo prize money. You could have a piece of the action by coming out Thursday nights. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and games start at 6:45 p.m.
lOCAllY IN SEASON
Everyone a winner at Fall Fair Patricia Guest / Special to the Peachland View Everyone was a winner this year at the Peachland Fall Fair. The quality and quantity of the entries surpassed the past 10 years that I have attended the fair. Within the categories there was a lot of diversity and more than a hint of competitive spirit mixed with a love of the art. The baking and preserves tables were laden with the bounty and flavours of the Okanagan. The flowers glowed like the Okanagan sun and showed the dedication to gardening that so many of us share here in Peachland. One of the winners, a dinner plate dahlia, was truly the size of its namesake. The amaranths in both green and red had to stay on the floor for fear its weight would break the table. The vegetable entries elicited oohs and aahs as usual and again the edge of competition showed as the winning rhubarb stalks weren’t just arrayed on a plate but exhibited in a perfect square vase that showed off their width and towered above the table. Jordan Marr, as planned, creamed the vegetables with a whopping 73 entries and was crowned the Vegetable King. Lorraine MacTavish and Colleen Berry duked it out at the stove and in the oven with both emerging tied in the baking and preserves section. The juniors showed great creativity and imagination with Lego preserves (which beat out Berry’s entry) and some beautifully crafted masks and stories. The arts, quilting and crafting had some new entries with a felt blanket by Helen Menyes (a Westbanker) taking Best in Show. While I believe everyone entered the fair for the fun of it, many who entered numerous exhibits spent months preparing and perfecting their entries. Others joined in the festivities just because their garden and their hours of weeding, composting and watering
spawned striking examples and they took up the challenge and entered for the love of it. Some, I think, took up the challenge from Jordan Marr and entered with the competitive spirit that our forefathers, who came together at the fall fair for community, started these competitions to foster. As for me, creating in the kitchen is like a second skin. I am so comfortable with it I sometimes get a little sloppy, as exhibited by my four, yes four, disqualifications for not reading the rules. It made me sit up and take note as my chipotle crab apple jelly that smoked the competition last year didn’t even get judged because of my choice of lids. It did up the ante a little and so with my embarrassment still stinging, I will throw down the challenge right now to the bakers and preservers who shone so brightly this past weekend. Fall fairs represent all that I am committed to as a food security advocate. After years of preaching the power of preserving, putting up your own garden’s bounty, and feeling pride and accomplishment that a full pantry of real foods give you, I feel my (and hundreds of other foodies’) message is hitting its mark. This is where we as Canadians started our cultural heritage. In the mixing of cultures, our arts and hobbies at one time were the means of survival through our long winters. Fall fairs all over Canada have helped keep these arts alive until now. As more people acknowledge the joy of these simple things, the resurgence of pride and love of a job well done grows and puts these arts back into the limelight. It is at these times that great creations and inventions are produced as all the new techniques and ingredients are mixed once again with an even larger cultural melange and tossed into this mix we call Canadian.

Here’s How It Works - Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Aquarius, this week may allow you to have your cake and eat it, too. Friends may be envious of your luck, so be sure to share some of your good fortune with those around you.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, devote ample time to your personal life this week. A few things need sorting out, so don’t hesitate to put other matters on the back burner.

Food For The Soul
There’s a place for each of us at God’s banquet table Robin Graves St. Margaret’s Anglican Church My first experience of chaplaincy work took place in Ottawa at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, a newlyopened acute care hospital in the residential west end of the city. I was one of a group of six students involved in a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programme – we were from a variety of backgrounds, including Roman Catholic sisters and priests, Protestant ministers and professional lay workers, each of us committed to developing further skills in pastoral care. Several months into the programme, I received an invitation to accompany the head nurse of the ICU to a banquet dinner – a gala event held in celebration of the hospital’s successful launch. It was a wonderful evening, filled with a number of surprises (Marlene arrived at my apartment in her Datsun 240Z!) and with an unexpected ease as I was introduced to senior members of the hospital board of directors, administration and staff that I would never otherwise have met. An unexpected ease, because in many ways I still thought of myself as a university undergraduate – this seemed like a giant step into the adult world. And yet there I was, welcomed – realizing that there was indeed a place for me in this gathering. The experience of belonging, the recognition that there is a place for us, has been a theme of many of the passages from scripture read in our churches in recent weeks. For many, the Gospel of Luke has been a particular focus as we have considered many stories drawn from Jesus’ life and ministry. Collectively, these have reaffirmed much about God: that God’s purpose is wholeness; that God’s service is one of healing; and that this purpose and service is not bound or limited in any way – not subject to law, not constrained by opposition nor diminished by our imperfect understanding. Indeed, scripture asserts, God’s desire for our wholeness transcends all. So too does God’s welcome. Indeed, the passages in recent weeks from Luke have repeatedly affirmed that there is a welcome offered, that there is indeed a place for us. Here we find time and again that there is room for each of us in the economy of God’s love, there is provision for each
of us in the bounty of God’s grace, there is welcome for each of us in the embrace of God’s hospitality. There is, finally, a place for each of us at the banquet feast. That said, it is important that we recognize that we do not enter the festival hall and take our place because we are deserving. We do not take our place because we have somehow managed to earn it, just as we do not take our place by virtue of right or merit or distinction. Rather, we take our place because it has been provided for us by God, and we come at God’s invitation. Clearly, there is no room here for pride, arrogance or self-justification. Rather, we take our place with humility, gratitude and appreciation, recognizing that we are the recipients of a gift freely offered. At the same time, this is not about a false humility – not about the self-deprecating, self-denying, self-abasing stance or
posture that too often masquerades as humility. “Who, me? Invited to a place of honour? Who would have thought: surely you mean someone else, I am not worthy or deserving of such a place. If you only knew, Lord, how terrible a person I am/have been – as if God is so daft and couldn’t possibly know – if only you knew you wouldn’t make this mistake. No – it is not about such false humility but about the gracious acceptance of gift. God’s passion is not about our humiliation but about our being raised up. Earlier I suggested that God’s purpose was not bound or limited in any way. To the extent that this is true, then God’s invitation to the banquet feast is similarly without constraint, unbounded and unlimited. The consequence for us then is clear – God’s invitation is not for another time or another place, not for a distant heaven or an eternal afterlife. Indeed, the banquet feast is to be found in our own lives, here in this place and at this time. And as this consequence is clear, so too is our burden – we are now to ensure that all are invited to the banquet and that the barriers to anyone’s presence are removed. I expect, however, that this will only be accomplished when we believe it to be true for ourselves. Years ago I accepted an invitation to a hospital gala and discovered that there was a place for me. Today we are each invited to a holy banquet, God’s boundless love ensuring that there
is a place for each of us. May we accept this invitation with confidence and grace.
