From Chapel to Classroom: Faith and Learning are Key for Luke Powery The motto of Duke University’s chapel is, “Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God.” These words ring true for Luke Powery Emm 0T7, the newly appointed dean of Duke Chapel. In some reflections Powery says he adds the phrase, which beats for love of the world, because God’s heart centres on service and love for one’s neighbour, the community and the world. The words of American Theologian Howard Thurman also resonate with Powery, who says that the motto at Duke Chapel, “helps us remember that God is also present and the heart at the heart of life.”

uke Powery, who hails from the United States, has a rich research and teaching history which has taken him all across the U.S., and from Switzerland to the United Kingdom. After receiving a bachelor of arts in music and vocal performance from Stanford University, he went on to the master of divinity program at Princeton Theological Seminary. What then, drew him to choose Canada and Emmanuel College to pursue his doctoral studies? “I wanted to work with and study under one of the top homileticians in North America —Paul Scott Wilson Vic 7T2, Emm 7T9,”

says Powery, going on to add that Emmanuel also gave him the opportunity to study in an interdisciplinary context—due to the College’s unique placement in the broader university setting at the University of Toronto. The ‘spiritual life’ wasn’t always something that he actively pursued, though Powery acknowledges that his upbringing certainly helped shaped his direction. “Perhaps the spiritual life has been in pursuit of me. I am a PK—a preacher’s kid—thus I was nurtured in a ‘churched’ environment. We sang and prayed as a family on a regular basis,” he says. His

career began with a focus on music, youth programs and chaplaincy—areas that continue to be reflected in his teaching and research. After being ordained by the Progressive National Baptist Convention in 2000, Powery went on to serve in an ecumenical capacity in religious organizations around the world, all the while balancing academic appointments and his own educational path. He was the associate pastor at the International Protestant Church of Zurich between 2001 and 2003, and taught at Lee University in Cleveland, TN, and the Continued on page 2

Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, at various times during his time at Emmanuel College. It was during his doctoral studies at Emmanuel that Powery deepened his acquaintance with homiletics, speech and performance studies, and the role of preaching, especially in relation to the culture of African-American people.

As a key spiritual leader at Duke University, Powery plays an integral role in joining the academic and spiritual lives of the university’s students, staff and wider community through worship services, religious life activities, student ministries and community outreach. In addition he oversees the operation of the chapel, which has one of the largest congregations on an American campus, though he says that

“I think the connection between our academic and spiritual lives is vital because as humans we are called upon to be holistic.” These areas informed the subject of his dissertation “The Holy Spirit and AfricanAmerican Preaching” and also his first book, Spirit Speech: Lament and Celebration in Preaching (Abingdon Press, 2009). As well as learning and working with mentor and friend Paul Wilson, Powery says he was “blessed” to engage with the work and lives of his peers at the Toronto School of Theology—in particular he notes working alongside Art Van Seters, David Schnasa Jacobsen and Carol B. Duncan. It was at Emmanuel that he also strengthened his belief in the importance of bringing together faith and learning. “I think the connection between our academic and spiritual lives is vital because as humans we are called upon to be holistic. We are not just heads on stacks of books! We have hearts to love and hands to serve, and of course, heads and minds to think,” he says. Powery graduated from Emmanuel with a ThD in homiletics in 2007 and was appointed that same year as the Perry and Georgia Engle Assistant Professor of Homiletics at the Princeton Theological Seminary, a position he held until his most recent appointment in 2012 as the Dean of Duke Chapel and as associate professor of the practice of homiletics in Duke Divinity School. When talking about his new role, Powery mentions the noted words of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, who said, “the world is my parish.” It is clear that Powery embodies a similar sentiment through his commitment to faith and education. “The university is my parish,” he says. 2

all of this is not a lone enterprise: “I have a gifted chapel staff of over 20 individuals who work together to serve the university and community.” Importantly, he notes that the chapel does not exist as a place of spirituality unto itself within the campus— in fact he explains that he has been, “pleasantly surprised by the openness to the chapel here and the desire to form networks of collaboration across the university.” Alongside his work at Duke, Powery has continued his research around ‘the Spirit’

and ‘the spiritual’ in relation to preaching, human suffering and social witnessing. His most recent book Dem Dry Bones: Preaching, Death, and Hope (Fortress Press, 2012) is “about the African-American spirituals as a resource for preaching death and hope.” He is also co-authoring, with former colleague Sally A. Brown, an introduction to a preaching textbook—tentatively titled Ways of the Word: Learning to Preach for Your Time and Place. He says it will, “strive to take context and difference seriously, especially since Sally and I represent different races, denominational traditions and genders.” Powery’s interests in difference were nurtured at Emmanuel College. When looking back on his time at Emmanuel, he points out that one of the most important aspects of the program at Emmanuel is that it affords students an “opportunity to engage with the other—denominationally, racially, ethnically, religiously and theologically.” It is evident that Powery’s consideration of people’s differences and commitment to a holistic and multifaceted approach to preaching and spiritual life— listening to the heart of God—continues to inform how he learns and teaches. “This is a gift itself,” Powery says, “especially if one desires to be a world citizen.” 

What Does it Mean to be Human? by mark g. toulouse ax Weber, in his 1904 book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, theorized that Protestant Germany had a better economy than Catholic Germany because of the “inner loneliness” of Protestants. Catholics had rituals to help them internalize forgiveness for sins. Protestants did not. Therefore, Protestants lacked confidence that they were truly worthy of salvation. They worked harder to earn worthiness. Along the way, their work ethic created economic growth. Today, across the world, Protestants still struggle with the notion that links financial success with divine favour. I learned firsthand in October that the fastest growing Protestant church in Brazil (Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, or IURD, which means The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God) is associated with the prosperity gospel, the idea that salvation and the accumulation of wealth belong together. Religious services combine casting out devils with modern marketing strategies focusing on maximizing profits for the church. While the church’s leadership is quite wealthy, the rank-and-file membership is composed of the poorest people in Brazil. Protestantism, particularly in its prosperity and neo-Pentecostal forms, takes strong root among the poor, partially because it provides hope for a better life. Twenty-one per cent of the Brazilian population has completed no more than four years of any form of schooling. Around 50 per cent of those associated with this form of Protestantism fall into that category. In most of the world, poverty is a brutal and devastating force. Today, unfortunately, too many religious leaders exploit vulnerabilities associated with poverty in order to increase their own wealth and power. I was in Brazil for a global ecumenical conference engaging the theme of economic and social justice across the world. Sponsored by the World Communion of Reformed Churches, the World Council of Churches, and Council for World Mission, the conference attracted between 50 and 60 economists, church leaders, activists, politicians and theologians. The conference hoped to create a framework, and develop a plan of action, to begin to move the global economy toward construction of just, caring and sustainable financial and economic structures. Part of the increasing concern among many at the conference, we had to confess, was due to the fact that the 2008 global economic crash increased poverty and unemployment in the global North. Poverty has become harder to ignore in the wealthier portions of the world. And, of course, the causes behind this recent dramatic spread of poverty have only worsened and deepened poverty and malnutrition in the global South, which has a long and inglorious history, too often easily ignored in the North, of crushing poverty. Members attending the conference rejected “an economy of over-consumption and greed, recognizing how neoliberal capitalism conditions us psychologically to desire more and more.” In our time, religion has too often contributed to a

distorted image of what it means to be human. Neoliberal forms of capitalism, often embraced by both churches and religious leaders, have defined people based upon their financial and economic value rather than by the intrinsic dignity they possess as persons created in the image of God. As the conference statement affirms, this approach to defining what it means to be human “leads to racism, sexism and other forms of categorisation, exclusion and oppressive behaviour” and is “a sin against God, humanity, and all creation.” While the conference resulted in a statement that expresses itself in its first few pages, in my opinion, in a form of theological discourse better suited to the 1950s than 2013, the practical recommendations contained in it are well worth considering. The document contains proposals for governments, banks, investment firms, and politicians designed to provide effective regulation of investment and banking sectors, better practices of taxation (in relation to investment practices, ecologically destructive industries, capital gains and estate taxes, and the elimination of tax evasion), greater access for the poor to basic financial services and active mechanisms to restructure sovereign debt. Another section of the document defines rather sweeping structural changes, including suggesting a new security council within the United Nations, replacing the International Monetary Fund, and creating a new alternative international reserve currency. The document concludes with strategies and actions churches can engage to help, and a discussion of signs of hope that serve “as signposts of change.” The statement is online at bit.ly/VAx538. Theological education and churches, in today’s world, cannot afford to neglect these issues. When we do, we simply add religion’s influence to the forces that either ignore or exploit poverty to suit their own purposes. 

Nettie Hoffman: A Welcoming Ministry

ettie (Wilson) Hoffman Emm 5T0 grew up in a family where helping others was valued and expected. She watched her parents feed transient men at their kitchen table in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. She saw her father, a United Church minister, drive ill villagers to the Montreal hospital, over 60 miles away. “I have always liked the spirit of Matthew 25,” says Hoffman. “I was hungry and you fed me; thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in.” This ethos has helped guide Hoffman throughout her life. Working as a minister, she found people readily welcomed her into their lives. In 1980 she began her intense work with refugees to Canada, working first with Vietnam’s “boat people,” receiving them and helping them make a life in their new country. After 40 years of ministry, she retired in the 1990s to devote all her efforts to refugees and volunteered for the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture. Currently, working with the Alpha Korean United Church, she is actively involved in helping many of the 100 North Korean refugee families who have arrived in Toronto over the past year. Over the decades, Hoffman has helped numerous families and even saved one from deportation. One of her great joys was seeing the son of a refugee become an ophthalmologist and his two sisters graduate with degrees in pharmacy. She has even had the joy of marrying all three of these siblings, whose parents had

fled Vietnam so many years ago. “I have been so touched by the people I have met,” says Hoffman. “How can I not be moved to hear the words from grateful new Canadians that they ‘have been living in hell’ and now they are living in ‘heaven?’” In addition to Hoffman’s remarkable Nettie Hoffman photographed in her Toronto home. ministry and volunteerism, she and her late husband John made a promise to continue this tradition of giving, through a legacy gift to Emmanuel College. This gift will fund an award, named The Reverend Dr. John C.

Becca Whitla Explores Community and Choral Music in Cuba

ecca Whitla Emm 1T3 is a doctoral student at Emmanuel College, having completed the requirements of her Master of Sacred Music. As part of her MSMus degree Whitla spent three months, from January through to April 2012, studying choral conducting and theology at the Seminario Evangélico de Teología (SET) in Matanzas, Cuba. She was awarded the Katherine and Murray Corlett Scholarship and the Garth and Joyce Legge Scholarship from Emmanuel College in support of her exchange program. During her time in Cuba, Whitla worked closely with both the SET’s Rector Reinerio M.

Double Vision Lecture and Panel Discussion

“… and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means, ‘God is with us.’” – Matthew 1:23 (NRSV) by Swee Hong Lim

he season of Easter is the culmination of God’s salvific plan for creation through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In that brief time, he related to those around him modeling the way in which faith actualizes action and vice versa. The kingdom of God, as he taught his followers, is already breaking into our current reality and all who choose to follow him are to live their lives adhering to God’s way of love, mercy and justice. Through the work and life of Jesus, we are reminded to love God with our whole heart, mind, soul and strength and our neighbour as ourselves. Therefore, loving acceptance of things would appear to be an important feature. On the other hand as a trained musician, perfection is the goal of the artist. Aside from being committed to maintaining standards and integrity in performance practice, perfection is de rigueur in the field. Therein lies the tension in the sacred music vocation: Christian, loving acceptance and the natural striving towards artistic perfection for those in the field of sacred music. How might this situation be negotiated? The words of Martin Luther (1483–1546), who wrote in a preface to Rhau’s Symphoniae in 1538, offer an insight: “I would certainly like to praise music with all my heart as the excellent gift of God which it is and to commend it to everyone … the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music.” Complementing this thought, Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685–1750) handwritten note “soli Deo gloria” at the end of his compositions speaks volumes about his motivation in music making. Bach’s monumental music-creating effort was for the love of God, yet it does not compromise on artistic excellence. While his works were intended to engage the Church in the praise of God, as offerings in a worship service, they were no less credible works of great art demanding the most out of the musicians’ performative skills. Yet for Bach, such musical effort is more than art; it is a means to a holy end. It is this balance between musical perfection and engaging the Church in the praise of God that gives us a glimpse of the purpose and ethos of the sacred music program at Emmanuel College of Victoria University. We expect our students to, as Gloria Estefan sings in Reach, “… reach, higher, just for one moment touch the sky” in their pursuit of excellence in performance practice, while exhibiting strong, loving pastoral leadership skills in their ministry. They are to undertake this

journey of preparation mindful of the overarching sacred principle of loving God and neighbours that needs to complement their pursuit of aesthetic perfection. Indeed, our task in music making is to facilitate the holy encounter between God and the people of God. In the task of nurturing congregational worship, this mandate requires us to negotiate and provide leadership on complex issues that churches face in the 21st century. Our musical landscape today includes not only the hymns of Martin Luther and J.S. Bach, but also those of Shirley Murray, I-to Loh, Pablo Sosa, Chris Tomlin, Matt Maher, Stuart Townend and others. Discerning pastoral wisdom is needed to musically voice the story of redemption through the many languages that reflect the beauty of God’s rich and diverse cultures, while ensuring that the process is heartfelt and meaningful to local congregations. This is a difficult and monumental task. Nevertheless, the good news is that when we choose to undertake this task, we will find help. The God who has called us to love humanity and light the path of divine love will be present. We are not alone and the experience is most satisfying and fulfilling.  Swee Hong Lim is the Deer Park Professor of Sacred Music at Emmanuel College, and the director of the Master of Sacred Music Program. He also serves as director of the Chapel for the worship life of Emmanuel College.
