My Dear Friends,
It seems only yesterday that I wrote this column in the Spring
2010 issue of The Sounding Board, and here we are at the
beginning of a brand new academic year and Fall Term. All
of us in The Memorial Church hope that you who are reading
this enjoyed a pleasant, productive, and restorative summer,
and are filled with renewed energy to once again take on the
pleasures and challenges of the new year. To all freshmen in the
Class of 2014 and their freshmen parents and guardians I offer
a particularly hearty welcome: we hope you will be with us in
the pews or celebrate with us from afar, wherever you might be.
Our programs extend well beyond our Sunday services and daily
services of Morning Prayer, as you will read in the following
pages of this newsletter.
Huge things have happened with our organ project during the
course of the summer, including the removal from Appleton
Chapel of our C.B. Fisk organ, Op. 46, which is on the way to
its new home in Austin, Texas. At present we are using a small
Holbrook organ as we await the installation of a three-manual
1929 Skinner organ, Op. 793, which will be in place in Appleton
Chapel in time for the Christmas Carol services on December
12th and 13th, and featured in an official dedication recital by
Professor Thomas Murray of Yale University on December 14th.
As you remember, the new mechanical-action organ, Op. 139,
currently being designed and built by C.B. Fisk of Gloucester,
Massachusetts, will be installed in the rear balcony next summer
and ready for the Easter Sunday service in 2012.
The restoration of the beautiful Appleton Chapel Palladian
window to its rightful role of illuminating the church, long
anticipated and awaited, is now a wonderful reality and worthy
of all of our hard work and of the architect’s original intention.
The placing of the Fisk organ in front of it in 1967 was a necessity
of the time; now I walk into the chapel and rejoice in the light
bathing it while brightening the entire church. I am deeply
moved by your generosity in contributing to the Appleton Chapel
Restoration and Organs Fund, which, as you know, is also a
celebration of my ministry to The Memorial Church as I look
Fall 2010
From the Minister
The Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes
to my 2012 retirement. This project is to be my legacy, and I am
grateful to all who so kindly consider it both materially in their
continuing generosity, and in their prayers.
Music in this church continues to flourish under the direction
of Edward Elwyn Jones, Gund University Organist and
Choirmaster; Christian Lane, Assistant University Organist
and Choirmaster; and Carson P. Cooman, Research Associate
in Music and Composer in Residence. We are continually
blessed with beautiful sound in our Sunday services and daily
services of Morning Prayer, and beyond those in concerts given
throughout the year. On Sunday, October 17th, the Harvard
University Choir presented its Fall concert featuring American
choral music, Randall Thompson’s Frostiana, and Alice Parker’s
cantata, Melodious Accord; and on Halloween, Sunday, October
31st, the Choral Fellows of the Harvard University Choir joined
the Boston Camerata, under the direction of Anne Azema,
for a concert celebrating Music and Marriage in the Italian
Renaissance. Also on Halloween, the annual Halloween recital
was performed by members of the Harvard Organ Society at
midnight in The First Congregational Church. The Harvard
Baroque Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Phoebe
Carrai, will present a concert, Le Gout Francais, of works in
the French style on Sunday evening November 21st; and the
Christmas Carol Services, this year the one hundred first, will
be held on Sunday, December 12th, at five o’clock, and Monday,
December 13th, at eight o’clock. The Thursday Midday Recital
Series continues to be performed by outstanding organists on the
Flentrop organ in Adophus Busch Hall on Thursdays at noon
through the eighteenth of November.
With the greatest happiness I look forward to preaching during
the Sunday services, as does our resident clergy, and we welcome
as well to our pulpit such preaching luminaries and friends as are
listed elsewhere in The Sounding Board. Our preaching palette is
rich with talent, and my hope is that you will come on Sunday
mornings whenever you are able. Our speakers at the daily service
of Morning Prayer are also both distinguished and diverse, and

I invite you to consult the Termbook, The
Memorial Church website, or The Harvard
University Gazette for the roster of guest
speakers. You won’t want to miss these gemlike
fifteen-minute services at the start of the
day.
The Faith & Life Forum is conducted every
Sunday during Term by my colleague, The
Reverend Dr. Dorothy A. Austin, Sedgwick
Associate Minister and Chaplain to the
University, and Co-Master of Lowell House.
She not only runs this popular program,
but she schedules the speakers for our daily
service of Morning Prayer, provides pastoral
care and counseling, teaches psychology
and religion in the Divinity School, and
coordinates our annual William Belden
Noble Lectures, which will be given this
year by The Most Reverend and Right
Honorable Dr. John Sentamu, Ninetyseventh
Archbishop of York and The
Lord Runcie of Cuddeston Distinguished
Visiting Preacher in The Memorial
Church. Dr. Austin and the Faith & Life
Forum are also hosting a series of evening
lectures to be given at seven o’clock on the
evenings of October 27th, when Professor
Jeffrey F. Hamburger will discuss “Why
Mysticism Matters to Me;” November 1st,
when Professor Richard Parker will give
insights into “Faith and Politics: Notes of
a (Hopeful) Cynic;” December 8th, when
The Reverend Rosemary Bray McNatt will
reflect on the qualities that have helped
shape her life, and January 14th, when our
friend and international best-selling author
Karen Armstrong will enlighten us on the
“Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life.”
We said good-bye this summer to Justin
P. Schoolmaster, who as Director of
Development and Administration served the
church for several years and is now enrolled
in The Yale School of Management, where
we wish him well; we are in the process of
finding his replacement. We are blessed with
a new seminarian, Michael J. Nilon MDiv
’10, and with a new Epps Fellow, Nathaniel
Peter Katz MDiv ’10, able successor to The
Reverend Jonathan Conant Page, who has
left us to teach in The Groton School. Mr.
Katz directs the weekly Undergraduate
Fellowship program and Sunday evening
services, The Reverend Robert Mark,
McDonald Fellow, offers a Graduate
Fellowship program on Wednesdays, and
Bridget Haile ’11, serves as president of the
Appleton Club, while Helen Bradshaw ’11,
organizes the Sunday school. The business
of the church is in the hands of a wonderful
staff to whom I am indebted.
While my greatest happiness lies in the
smooth running of The Memorial Church
and my own preaching opportunities within
it, I thoroughly enjoy invitations extended
to me to preach or speak elsewhere where
I can bring the message of God and news
of Harvard and The Memorial Church.
I enjoy my committee assignments here
at Harvard, and delight in my preaching
course with students in the Divinity School.
The Memorial Church, as you know, is a
busy, teeming place and a significant unit of
the University that as ever hosts baptisms,
marriages, funerals, memorial services,
services of Harvard’s many faith traditions,
and myriad vital programs.
Speaking of money in some circles is
considered vulgar; I, however, never hesitate,
because I believe that we all want to support
the on-going ministry of this dynamic church
in the middle of Harvard Yard. We pray for
you constantly, those of you customarily in
the pews and those in our larger community
whom we reach through the magic of radio
and the Internet. Please be with us whenever
you are able; the church breathes through
the joy of its faithful people.
Faithfully yours,
Peter J. Gomes

Epps Fellow
Nathaniel P. Katz
It is a great honor to join The
Memorial Church staff as the
Epps Fellow for the coming
academic year. For the last three
years, The Memorial Church
has occupied a special place in
my heart as the place I chose
to worship during my time
as a student in the Master of
Divinity program at Harvard
Divinity School. As a student,
I found The Memorial
Church to be the perfect place
to worship God and develop
my spiritual life in the context
of life at Harvard. We, as a church community, are blessed with
an extraordinary space and the fellowship of clergy, musicians,
students and parishioners who all come together to make this
place a focal point for the exploration of meaning in this most
extraordinary of universities.
My hope for this year is that we will continue to build upon the
solid foundation that was left by my predecessor, The Reverend
Jonathan C. Page, for undergraduate ministry. We will continue
to make the Sunday Night Student Service in Appleton Chapel
an intimate and meaningful space for both undergraduate and
graduate students to worship together. We will continue to grow
the Appleton Club as an undergraduate student organization that
supports student exploration of what it means to be faithful in the
context of life at Harvard College. Lastly, we will seek to develop
programming that invites the entire undergraduate community
at Harvard College to reflect on the great questions of meaning
in life.
I look forward to getting to know the students, faculty, staff, and
congregants who make up The Memorial Church community
over the coming year. I ask for your prayers as we carry this vital
ministry forward and I warmly invite anyone with an interest in
undergraduate ministry at The Memorial Church to be in touch
so that we can include you in our life together this year.
Fall 2010
Our Seminarian
Michael J. Nilon
Dear Friends,
I am very pleased to be the
seminarian for The Memorial
Church for this academic year.
We will certainly have the
chance to get to know each
other better, but I would like
to tell you a little about myself
to start the process. I am an
alumnus of Harvard Divinity
School, having graduated last
year with a Master of Divinity.
Currently, I am also the Youth
and Christian Education
Director of United Parish of Auburndale, a federated United
Church of Christ and United Methodist Church parish.
Although nothing can replace the practice of religious disciplines
in the life of a follower of Christ, my own spiritual life has
benefited greatly from my study and experimentation at HDS.
My time as a student afforded me the resources and opportunities
to study religion comparatively, learn the argot of social sciences
such as anthropology, and experience religious practices such
as mediation in the Tibetan and Zen traditions of Buddhism.
Praise be to God for such periods of growth and renewal. I come
to you now prepared to bring the skills that I have learned in
graduate school to a vibrant and inclusive community. Thank
you for the opportunity.
Sunday Night Student Service
Join us every Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. in Appleton
Chapel for our weekly student-focused service. The
forty-five minute service embraces a progressive
Christian theology and welcomes all students, both
graduate and undergraduate, regardless of where you
are in your faith journey. Following worship all are
invited to a hearty time of food and fellowship. For
more information contact Epps Fellow Nathaniel Katz
at nathaniel_katz@harvard.edu.

McDonald Fellow
The Reverend Robert J. Mark
As October begins
and we are
given the gift
of New England
foliage, we are
also reminded of
the Feast day of
Saint Francis of
Assisi. We recall
how Francis’ first
sermon was not
to humans, but
to the birds. According to Richard Rohr, in acknowledging birds as
equals in creation and referring to them as sisters and brothers, Francis
concluded his sermon with the words, “now go off, because I have told
you who you are.” He famously advised the birds that by their very
existence, they inherently give glory to God and hope to the world.
Should not we, as people of faith here at Harvard, take our lead from
Francis and similarly remind everyone that the call to a life of faith is
a call to be fully, truly, and wholly who God created us to be?
One of our goals here at Memorial Church is to help students
understand who God is calling them to be, and walk alongside them
as they grow into that person. Our graduate students, who represent
schools across the university, come together in fellowship with this
goal in mind. Our Graduate Fellowship meets on Wednesdays,
and we are always open to newcomers. This fall however, we are
substituting some of these evening gatherings for a Lunch Fellowship
from 1:00–2:00 p.m. on the following Wednesdays: October 6th,
November 3rd, November 17th, December 1st, and December 15th
(there will be no 7:00 p.m. fellowship on those nights). Each of these
lunches will be hosted at different schools across the university — so
stay tuned for locations.
In addition to our regular gatherings, our Graduate Fellowship helps
encourage students to incorporate mission into their regular academic
life. Together we continue to examine how mission can be lived out
in simple ways through providing hands-on volunteer experiences
at local homeless shelters, hospitals, community centers, or schools.
This November 4th–7th, we will take part in the Boston Theological
Institute’s conference, “The Changing Contours of World Mission
and Christianity.” And in January 2011, we are planning another
weeklong opportunity for students to take part in a hands-on service
and spiritual retreat.
In helping students sense God’s presence in the course of their busy
lives, we continue to host a weekly student service on Sundays at
9:00 p.m. On the first Sunday of each month, we will be sharing
communion together at these services (October 3rd, November 7th,
and December 5th).
In my role as one of the Harvard Chaplains, I am serving
this year as chair of the University Programs Committee. In
addition to supporting the leadership for the Congress on the
Future of Faith at Harvard, we are in the midst of planning
some programs for the chaplains to more effectively engage
our university in dialogue and action around our faith.
We will be sponsoring the annual Martin Luther King Jr.
Celebration, which will take place on January 17th, 2011.
Fall is a busy time in the life of our university and our church.
It is our hope and prayer that as we all go about our many
tasks and plans, we remember the example of Saint Francis.
Like him, let us be inspired by the beauty of God’s creation
all around us in the fall foliage and coming winter solace,
and let us join in the prayer, “Lord, make us instruments of
your peace.”
If you would like to be added to our regular graduate student
email list, please email me: robfirstpres@gmail.com
Compline
December 2, 10:00 p.m.
The ancient service of Compline is held on the
first Thursday of each month during the academic
Term. Based upon the traditional evening liturgy
of scripture, music, prayers, and silence, this
twenty-minute service is sung in the candlelit space
of Appleton Chapel by members of the Harvard
University Choir. All are welcome.

The centerpiece of the Harvard University Choir’s Spring
Term 2010 was its performance of Bach’s St. John
Passion. Professor Christoph Wolff gave opening remarks
concerning the various versions of the work (ours mirrored
Bach’s final performance given on Good Friday 1750), and the
demanding role of the Evangelist was portrayed by local tenor
— and University Choir Vocal Instructor — Frank Kelley.
The combined forces of the Harvard University Choir and the
Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra gave a thrilling account
of this dramatic score to a capacity crowd, and the memories
of that evening will remain with me for years to come. The
performance took place on Palm Sunday, and the following
week the choir premiered John Rutter’s setting of Edmund
Spenser’s “Most Glorious Lord of Life” in the Easter Day
service. I was honored that Mr. Rutter — who no longer accepts
many commissions — accepted our invitation, and produced a
vibrant work for chorus, organ, and brass that is sure to become
a staple in the Easter repertoire.
The end of Term saw the removal of the Fisk, Op. 46 pipe
organ, signaling the beginning of our project of restoration
and renewal. In its final days in Appleton Chapel, the Fisk was
featured in Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb — the work with which
the instrument was inaugurated in 1967; Christian Lane played a
superb final recital in our series celebrating the legacy of Charles
Fisk and John Ferris, ending with the Concert Variations on “The
Star Spangled Banner” by John Knowles Paine, Harvard’s first
University Organist and Choirmaster. The following morning
Op. 46 played its final Morning Prayer’s service, culminating
in Bach’s majestic Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 547
— reputedly Charles Fisk’s favorite work. The organ having
been suitably feted, work began on its disassembly immediately
following the service, and the light from the glorious Palladian
window — obscured for over forty years — began to radiate
back into the chapel. The church was closed for the summer for
the mammoth task of restoring Appleton Chapel — including
fashioning new pews, installing a new window, and preparing
the chambers for the restored 1929 Skinner pipe organ. In
addition, the rear gallery was refashioned to accommodate
choral seating, and restructured in preparation for the new Fisk,
Op. 139 pipe organ, which will be installed in the summer of
2011. Morning Prayers began in the newly configured chapel
on September 1st, 2010, with President Faust giving an address
to the filled pews bathed in a halo of glorious morning light.
Fall 2010
Music
Edward E. Jones
The University Choir has relocated to the rear gallery of the
church, and it is such a joy to feel that the group is now a true part
of our worship, both physically and musically. In the absence of a
true accompanimental instrument, the choir has been performing
mainly a cappella works that have included Bach’s Lobet den
Herrn, Gabrieli’s Jubilate Deo, and parts of Byrd’s Great Service.
When the Skinner organ in the chapel is ready for use — a little
later in the Fall Term — the choir will move back into Appleton
for the remainder of the year, and that instrument will serve as
the primary service organ until the installation and completion
of Fisk, Op. 139. The official unveiling of the chapel organ will
be during our Christmas Carols Services — Sunday, December
12th at 5:00 p.m., and Monday, December 13th at 8:00 p.m.;
the dedication recital will be given by Professor Thomas Murray
(Yale University) on Tuesday, December 14th at 8:00 p.m.
The choir’s fall concert was an exciting program of American
choral music, which paired Randall Thompson’s Frostiana with
Alice Parker’s Melodious Accord. Randall Thompson taught in the
Harvard Music Department for many years, but his collection of
settings of poetry by Robert Frost had not been performed in
its entirety at Harvard in recent memory. Boston-born composer
Alice Parker’s Melodious Accord — a collection of early American
hymnody refashioned by the composer into a thrilling cantata
— ended with the combined forces of audience, choir, brass, and
harp joining in a rousing rendition of “God Moves in a Mysterious
Way.” The choral fellows once again joined the Boston Camerata
for a concert entitled Vieni Imeneo, a program of Italian sixteenthcentury
music written in celebration of marriage.
Looking ahead, the spring term will feature an Arts First
performance of Handel’s Messiah in collaboration with the
Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra. A staple of holiday
celebrations throughout America, I am delighted that we will be
performing this great work in the octave of Easter — the occasion
for which it is most suited.
As ever, my heartfelt thanks go to Christian Lane and Carson
Cooman for their support, enthusiasm, and superlative
musicianship; to the members of our wonderful choir who give
so much of their time, energy, and talents to this church; and
to you, our faithful supporters, for your continued interest and
engagement with the music program in The Memorial Church,
in which it continues to be my honor and privilege to serve.

Faith & Life Forum
October 10, 2010
The Reverend Kent Montgomery French, former seminarian
in The Memorial Church and currently lead pastor at the First
Congregational Church in Bellingham, Washington, recently
spoke to a Faith and Life Forum audience that was delighted to
welcome him “home,” however briefly. Although every Sunday
does not see the return of an old friend, good fellowship, a
thought-provoking presentation, and lively discussion can
always be found in abundance for those willing to climb the
stairs to the Pusey Room at 9 a.m. and take time for the serious
consideration of faith in our lives.
Organized and moderated by The Reverend Dr. Dorothy
A. Austin, the Faith & Life Forum has become a treasured
resource for both The Memorial Church congregation and the
wider community. We invite you to discover it for yourself!

Wednesday Tea
It’s a crisp New England afternoon, the sunlight slanting low,
a chill wind beginning to pick up. No one is strolling leisurely
along Kirkland Street; travelers are walking quickly, coats and
jackets pulled ever more closely around them. For some, though,
their steps lighten and shoulders begin to relax as they approach
the bright yellow clapboard structure across the street from
Memorial Hall. Their destination is Sparks House, home of The
Reverend Professor Peter Gomes and the much-loved tradition
he instituted, now many years ago: the Wednesday afternoon
Sparks House Tea.
The guests — Harvard faculty and staff, graduate students
and undergrads, alumni, and other friends — stream down
the driveway path, through the open door, and into warmth
and light, made warmer still by a personal welcome from the
Professor. Then on into the double parlor for a trip around the
tea table, laden with both sweet and savory delights and presided
over by a smiling, gracious friend of the Professor’s, who pours
the countless cups of tea consumed by a roomful of reinvigorated
conversationalists.
More than one alum has returned to the Church relating
memories of meeting those who went on to become cherished
friends or mentors over a cup of Sparks House tea. And some
recall graduate school days when the Wednesday afternoon
platters of bite-sized sandwiches were the only reliably good food
of the week. But whether a tea-goer of the past or of the present,
all agree that this wonderfully old-fashioned custom never ceases
to hit the spot.
Wednesday Tea
On Wednesdays during Term, Professor Gomes welcomes
undergraduates, graduate students, and visiting scholars to
afternoon tea from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at his residence,
Sparks House, located at 21 Kirkland Street, across from
Memorial Hall.
