February - Cathedral Church of All Saints

BUNDAYMEMORIALPORTRAITSunday, February 26February 26, 2012, willmark the firstanniversary of the deathof our friend The Rev.Canon R. Jack Bunday. Fr. Bunday was exceedinglygenerous to All Saints’, leaving a bequest in excess of$450,000. Approximately $100,000 of his bequest was usedto pay for the work in the church last summer.To mark his passing, and as a thank you to Fr. Bunday, wewill offer prayers, drink a toast and hang a picture of him inthe library following the 10 a.m. service.A MESSAGE FROM THE TREASUREREvery pledge is vitalMany of you have already sent in your pledges for 2012.Thank you for your prompt attention to fulfilling this veryimportant detail of our parish life. Your pledges constituteour primary means of creating a budget for 2012. Last year,we had a total of 92 pledges totaling $195,800 (or $185,800before Fr. Bunday’s generous pledge). Not counting Fr.Bunday, the average monthly pledge for 2011 was $170.As of early January, we have received 87 pledges, totaling$167,000. The average pledge so far is $160 per month. Theuncertainty in this difficult economy is obviously being feltby all of our members. We hope that more pledges will beforthcoming.In 2011, we received a total of $16,000 from the CathedralCorporation in “Call the Dean” funds, to which many ofyou generously contributed. This money, together withsubstantial contributions from individuals and families whodid not pledge, made it possible for us to finish 2011 in theblack.The Corporation annually contributes to the Cathedral’sbudget (in addition to paying for the Cathedral’s utilities andother expenses related to the property). This year this will be$5,000 (down from the $16,000 in 2011) Unfortunately, ourDiocesan assessment will increase by more than $300 permonth and our normal monthly assistance check from theCorporation (who also pays for our electricity and heatingexpenses) has been reduced by more than $500 per month,as we pay off our loan for the pew ends that now give suchcharacter to our seating.Please submit your pledge form as soon as possible. In thisdifficult financial year, we will need your support more thanever to stay out of debt. In conclusion, I would like toremind you: if you become a POWER-BALL winner, pleasethink of your friends at All Saints first!John BendlerCathedral TreasurerLENT BEGINSFEBRUARY 22Each year it seems like such ashort time before we go from theup-stretched arms of the Babe inthe manger to His outstretched hands on the cross.

In the wake of thepassage in 2011 of concealed carry in Wisconsin, the 2011Diocesan Convention urged all parishes to post signsprohibiting weapons from being brought into church.As the dean and the chapter discussed that issue, othersarose during the conversation. These questions have helpedshape the direction for the Cathedral Institute for 2012:1) Why are people so fearful that they feel a law like thisneeds to be passed?2) What are the moral and ethical implications of being aChristian in a violent society?3) How can we raise awareness about these issues and whatis an appropriate call to action?The Living Without Fear conference was a keynote event forthe year. More than 30 people were present to hear avariety of dynamic, insightful and informative presenters.The day began and ended with prayer in the church lead byThe Rev. Karen Hagen, Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church;The Rev. Ken Wheeler, Cross Lutheran Church; and theRev. Michelle Mooney, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.Seminars during the day included topics such as racism,domestic abuse, restorative justice and programs offered inthe criminal justice system to help deal with youth, womenand children. The speakers included Mr. Paul Dedinsky,Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney. Paul willreturn to All Saints’ to lead the Cathedral Institute programon February 9.ASC member Sue Cornell offered these observations: “Itwas an interesting day with a very diverse group ofpeople. Most were already involved in working on theissues, so it was like preaching to the choir, but it was anexcellent beginning for the topic.”The conference was made possible in large part to a groupof volunteers from within and from outside All Saints’.Madeline Turner from All Saints’ was one of the drivingforces behind the day. Special thanks go out to DeaconMarge Kiss and Sue Cornell for helping with a fabulouslunch.

SAINTS ALIVECathedral Church of All SaintsFebruary, 2012 — EXTRARemembering Father BundayAugust 23, 1919 – February 26, 2011Milwaukee, WisconsinISN’T THIS A NICE PARTY!Remembering Father BundayThe Rev. Canon Roger Jack Bundaydied a year ago on February 26. He maybe gone from our sight, but he isdefinitely not forgotten. Parishionersand friends still reminisce about himand suddenly say, “I really miss FatherBunday.” He was an important part ofour life at All Saints’ Cathedral eversince he retired in 1984 and moved toMilwaukee to be near his Goddaughter,Father Bunday with Father Talmage, both newlycreated Canons of All Saints’ Cathedral, in 2008Mary Kaems, whose father had beenFather Bunday’s seminary roommate.Father Bunday enjoyed going out fordinner with friends, and he wouldinvariably comment during the meal,“Isn’t this a nice party!” In so manyways he was a very wise man.Father Bunday, as we all know, was apretty stubborn fellow and never moreso than when it came to his last fewyears. As he declined, he vigorouslyrejected any idea of moving out of hisbeautiful apartment overlooking LakeMichigan. Thanks to the ongoingefforts of several parishioners, andespecially Mary and Fred Kaems, heprevailed, even after a serious setbackin 2007. Miraculously, he came backfrom each bout with his failing body.His greatest disappointment, I think,was the realization that he wouldn’tBlessing the Book Sale workers at thebeginning of the salemake it to 100. Few people knew howmuch pain and discomfort he enduredin his last few years. Nevertheless, hecontinued as best he could withattending the Daily Offices and dailyEucharists, working on the Book Sale,talking to the Sunday School children,and attending various church functions.He made every effort to support theactivities of our many committees.However, when the time came a yearago that he accepted the end was athand, he agreed to hospice care and,finally, to enter St. John’s on the Lake,where he died a few weeks later. Histransition was greatly eased by his oldfriend Tom Carr coming for anAnswering Sunday Schoolers’ questions1extended stay, spending the days withFather Bunday, reading to him, andtending to his needs. Father Himmerichhad dinner with him most nights. Manyvisitors from All Saints’ stopped in,especially Walter Barnes, who cameevery day. Then, he had a muchanticipatedvisit from relatives fromMinnesota. After they left, he told Maryhe could die now. And he did.Fr. Bunday lives on, though, not only inour own hearts and memories, but alsoin the generous bequests that he madeto a number of church entities. Yousee, this “old bachelor” was a shrewdinvestor who lived frugally, but gavegenerously. He chose to leave quitelarge bequests to some of the small,struggling churches he had served overhis long career. “That’ll blow theirminds. They’ve never seen that muchmoney atonce,” hewouldq u i p .When wecontactedt h e mafter hisdeath, itwas clearthat hewas right,and thatt h e ycertainlywould putAt the church picnicthe money to good use. He also left alarge bequest to the Diocese ofNamibia in southwest Africa. The onetimebishop there had been aparishioner many years before in hisparish, St. Andrew’s in Emporia,Kansas, and had interested FatherBunday in the work of his newlycreated, very poor diocese. Namibiawas featured in the June, 2011 NationalGeographic article about “Africa’s SuperPark.” His other large beneficiaries areAll Saints’ Cathedral, making possible

the ongoing renovations we have already begun to see, andthe Diocese of Milwaukee. Father Bunday has made a realcontribution to ongoing ministry in the church he so loved.There will be an unveiling of Father Bunday’s picture in theLibrary on February 26 as we remember and honor him(see article, p. 4).Well done, good and faithful servant. You enjoyed theparties here on earth but certainly nothing like the heavenlybanquet at which you now sit. Now that’s a nice party!Miriam StauffAfter Fr. Bunday died, we asked people to submit theirmemories. Here are a few.From Walter Barnes:THE FATHER BUNDAY YOU DIDN’T KNOWA Generous, Caring, and Sensitive ManIt was in September, 2010 after the Friday night Mass, andMiriam invited the whole gang to go out together tocelebrate my and her mutual birthday. We went to Botanas,our favoriteMexicanplace on theSouth side.We had thebest timetalking andlaughingwith FatherBunday. Itfelt like itwas hisbirthday.When thebill came, Father Bunday grabbed it and said, “It’s on me.I’m 91 and the oldest one at this table, and I can do what Ilike.” Not one of us would dare argue with him.The next day I sent Father Bunday a nice thank you note,saying on his next birthday I was treating him to dinner.The following Sunday I was an usher, and in walked FatherBunday with a big smile on his face saying, “I received yournice than you card, and I have the place all picked out. Startsaving your money.” We both just laughed.Then, in January of 2011, at St. John’s on the Lake, I saw awhole different side of Father Bunday. His eyesight wasgoing and I would read his cards and letters to him. Therewas this one card from a man. We didn’t know his name,but it said, “Dear Father Bunday. You do not know me, butI was at All Saints’ Cathedral for Lessons and Carols inDecember and heard you read. You inspired me so much. Ijust want to say I’m praying for you.”Father Bunday smiled and said, “Oh, wasn’t that nice,” ashe wiped a tear away.I would visit him at St. John’s twice a day if I could, and weFather Bunday Commemorative—February, 20122would sit for hours making small talk or just sayingnothing. He would always ask, “What time is it?” and“How slow the time goes by.”A funny moment was when he told me of his tablematesfor dinner at St. John’s and about an “old” man namedJack—who happened to be 82. There was also a Miss Lee,who, in turns out, is the mother of Oprah Winfrey. Hesaid, “You know I don’t have a TV, so how would I knowwho she is. I laughedand said, Father,everyone knows OprahWinfrey!” He just shookhis head.Whenever I would leavehim, I always would patthe back of his hand andrub it and say, “I’ll seeyou later, Father,” andhe would say, “Makesure you come back.”“You know I will,” I’dreply.Two days before he died the aide and I helped into bed.She left, and I covered him up with his throw, put hisbeanie on his head, and made sure his box of Kleenex wasnearby, as was his call button. As I started to rub his handand say our good bye, he reached for my hand and said,“Walter, why don’t you sit in the chair and rest with me.” Isaid, “What a great idea.” Five minutes later in a soft voice,he said, “Are you still here?” “Yes, Father, I’m still here.”Ten minutes later he was fast asleep and I tiptoed out thedoor.What a beautiful gift he gave me. Rest in peace, FatherBunday.From Sue Cornell:It would have never occurred to me to call Father Bundayanything but “Father.” My memories of him span the entiretime he was at All Saints’. Over the years, he became ourfamily priest—presiding at funerals, attending celebrations,and giving the blessings at weddings. When Don’s motherdied at 93 in a nursing home, long after any affiliation to achurch, Father Bunday provided a graveside service on avery cold January morning.Later, when my uncle, andthen my aunt, died, heonce again was the priestwho officiated at theirservices. When my Momdied he provided atouching homily at herservice. The week afterMom’s service he told methat now I could startserving as an acolyte again.So I did, and for thatreason I was honored toserve as an acolyte at hisfuneral service.

My favorite times with Father Bunday came when heworked at the Book Sale with the pricers. He priced thereligion and foreign language books for many years andeven after he“retired” fromdaily pricing, heshowed up just tohave conversationand help out wherehe could. Healways worked atthe sale. For mostcustomers, he wasthe Book Salepriest. When hepriced the religionsection, often he would mark “free” in the cover for certainBibles and prayer books, bringing a smile to customers aswell as a free book. He also used a more subjective pricingfor books he considered questionable; “Make them pay forthis one.”Father Bunday was one constant presence at the Cathedralfor 27 years. He will be missed but favorite “FatherBunday-isms” will probably last forever.From Cheryl Stucky:I sincerely appreciated how kind Father Bundy was to ourchildren, Nick and Sam. He always noticed them, spoke tothem and was very kind to them. He was also very nice toJeff and to me. He would make philosophical commentsthat werealwaysinterestingand gave mepause forthought. Hewas tryingto pass onhis wisdomin some wayto us, as wewere alwaysrushing onby andhurryingthrough.With hiscomments, he seemed to say to stop and reflect and enjoythe moment. I would like to take that to heart more! Getoff the hamster wheel and gain perspective and wisdom!From Kimberley Gartrell:Although I have lots of great memories of Father Bunday,the one I am reflecting on right now would be the firstSunday he sat down with me during coffee hour. He sharedwith me many of his life experiences. He was a wise andwonderful person, and I am so grateful to have known him.From Lois Wirth:Father Bunday always mentioned my dad (an Episcopalpriest) when he introduced me to people. He wascomplimentary to my dad, even though he had only knownmy Mom, but not my Dad. These statements wereextremely appreciated. One day he asked me if my parentsever drank tea. I wondered what he was getting at. Then Irealized that he thought William and I should invite him totea. We had been sending him our Christmas letter, and hesaid, he wanted to see all the changes we had done to ourhouse mentioned in the letters.So, of course, we had him to tea. William and I very seldomentertain so this was quite a deal. We picked him up andbrought him out to Mequon. We showed him the houseand had tea and conversation. I could tell that theconversation was much more interesting to Father Bundaythan our home. A few days later I was delighted to hearFather Bunday stating to a member of All Saints, "Loislives in the poor part of Mequon."From Mary Ann Kalvelage:For over ten years Eleanor Dyszelski and I were in chargeof Coffee Hour once a month. Father Bunday wouldalways stroll in to chat, but mainly to check out the tea. Hewas insistent the water should boil hard before pouring itover three tea bags. He would stroll over to the pot andc h e c kthat. IfEleanor hasused onlytwo bags, hewould muttera n dmutter. Ofcourse,Eleanorcould nothear him, soit did notbother her,and theywould bothstew away,F a t h e rBundaychanting the tea would taste like dishwater, and Eleanorstewing that there was no need to waste tea bags. Lordy,Lordy.Another thing, he showed up for like a magnet was if heheard Eleanor Dyszelski or Louise Murphy banging aroundthe old stove in the pre-historic kitchen. They were theonly two I ever saw light the thing. It would POOF andalmost blow up. I always headed toward the door—just incase.When I arranged flowers for the altar, he would stand inthe sacristy and talk. He loved "garden flowers." He lovedbig bouquets of lilacs and peonies. He had no idea howfragile they were and how afraid we were that by Sunday3Father Bunday Commemorative—February, 2012

morning they could be all drooping, especially when he hadthe heat sky-high in the sacristy. You would freeze whenDean Hillman said Mass onSaturday and roast whenFather Bunday was there.Father Bunday thoughtwomen should neverwear pants to church. Hethought people should looktheir best for Church, andwomen should wear stockingsand skirts. I was pleased tolook around at his funeral andsee so many in "Sunday Best."I had not worn hose sinceKnee Surgery the previousSeptember, but I struggled into them and so did at least oneother woman. We laughed about that at the reception.He was one of a kind.From Jeff Erdman:Some years ago, after church at 10:00, Father Bundaymentioned to me that most people think his little hat is ayarmulke (small cap worn by devout Jewish men). “Well itisn’t,” he statedrather indignantly.He then asked meif I knew the namefor it, and I saidthat I always heardit referred to as a“beanie.” Well hewas most happywhen I told himthat and a big smilehappenedthereafter.From Althea Milbrath:Father Bunday was the person to go to when your readinghad difficult names; he always knew how to pronouncethem. Rest in Peace, Fr. BundayFrom Jack Hughes:For many years, Father Bunday advised the lay readers,primarily helping them with pronunciation of the difficultplace and person names the fledging readers would so oftenstumble over.From Michael Schiessl:He had a good talk with me about life and the names ofpeople.From Titus Wamai:Like most people, I have many wonderful memories ofFather Bunday. But the one that is perhaps my fondest, isof him declaring that he was going to teach me about theFather Bunday Commemorative—February, 20124“true church.” He sat with me during coffee hour and wentthrough the liturgical calendar with me. It was the last timehe was here at All Saints’, and I felt very honored that hechose to spend that time with me.From Mariana Keene:When I started reading the lessons, Fr. Bunday came up tome complimented me and said, “But you need to slowdown.” I hear these words every time I stand to read. I alsoremember his comments about how people say “The wordof the Lord” at the end of a lesson. He felt too manypeople just blurted out the words without giving them thereverence they deserve. So when I end readings, I also hearhis comments and try to live up to his expectations.When I was young child growing up in Pawpaw, Michigan,we all noticed the Episcopal priest walking around incassock and biretta. (Wewere Methodist.) I was sosurprised to find out allthese years later when Iinterviewed FatherBunday for the Cathedralnewsletter that it hadbeen him!From Lee Klugiewicz:About 20 years ago, Father Bunday and I had aconversation about the controversies in the church. He toldme that no matter what the church agrees to do, he wouldsupport it even if hewas not 100% inagreement. Becauseif the decision wasright, it will last intime; if not, it will berescinded. He alsosaid that 50 years agomany people left thechurch because ofsome controversy,and where are theynow? No one thinksabout that any more.January, 2008

FIRST QUARTEROUTREACH:BENEDICT CENTER’S SISTERS PROJECTThe Outreach Committee has announced that theCathedral’s 1 st quarter Outreach Project is The SistersProject (explained in the January issue of Saints Alive). TheSisters Project focuses on women involved in prostitutionand illegal drugs, hopefully helping them before they arecaught up in the criminal justice system. The projectprovides drug treatment, assistance and programming tohelp women develop a life in compliance with the law. Inthe past two years, the Sisters Project has reported success,with a 90 percent success rate in 2010. As of late 2011, 69percent of participants had completed the six-monthprogram and had not re-offended.On Sunday, January 15, Donna Hietpas, manager of theSisters Project, andMs. Shevon spoke atboth of our CoffeeHours. CommentsDeacon Marge: “Iexperiencedsomething rare –quiet in which youcould hear a pindrop. Ms. DonnaHietpas and Ms.Shevon spoke to thecongregation regarding the work of the Benedict Centerwith the Women’s Harm Reduction Program, an alternativeto incarceration. This program offers an opportunity for‘life-changing experiences and learning in an inclusive, peersupportedprogram. Statistics certainly were part of thepresentation, but more importantly, the action andcompassion, the commitment and time the workers at theBenedict Center spend with and for the women referred tothis program spoke volumes. To me, it was a poignantexample of a Christian response to violence.”Women choose to participate in the programs based ontheir personal needs as well as what may be mandated bythe court. For some women, immediate goals may be basicneeds – shelter, food, clothing, mental health or medicalcare. Once these goals are met, they are ready to set longer-range goals based on what they intend to achieve while atthe Benedict Center.How you can help: Brochures and data sheets along with aposter board description of the Sisters Project are in theGuild Hall. Their needs list includes funds to purchasefood, bus tickets, personal hygiene products and the like.Let us stand together with them through our contributionsof sundries and money. There is a box under the display inthe Guild Hall to receive these donations, except for bustickets, which should be put in an envelop marked SistersProject and placed in the offering plate.

HAVE YOU READ?Christianity, The First ThreeThousand YearsBy Diarmaid MacCullochIf you’d like a refresher course in church history,plus a wealth of detail on things you perhaps never knewyou didn’t know, this is the book for you. Here is athoroughly researched and highly readable, albeit long,treatment of the beginnings of the Hebrew Bible and thejourney of the Eastern and Western Church right up to ourown century.The author, DiarmaidMacCulloch, Oxford Professorof Church History and son ofan Anglican clergyman,essentially covers the globe inhis comprehensive and oftfascinating accounts ofpersons, places, findings andevents. It is church history inits broadest sense as hereferences the cultures andkingdoms, philosophies andmovements that so impactedChristianity’s formation andgrowth.Some sample chapter headings: “Greece and Rome, c. 1000BCE – 100 CE”; “Defying Chalcedon: Asia and Africa451–622”; “Islam, The Great Realignment 622–1500”;“Theology, Heresy, Universities, 1100–1300”;“Enlightenment: Ally or Enemy? 1492–1815”; and “CultureWars, 1960–present”.Its captivation for me was close to being a page-turner,quite a remarkable endorsement seeing that there are over1,000 pages to turn! But trust me, its well worth the timeand effort.Diane MelangSHROVE TUESDAYPANCAKE SUPPERFebruary 21, 6–8 p.m.Help All Saints’ use up the last ofthe fat before Lent, in thetraditional cooking of the pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.‘Cakes, sausages and applesauce will be the order of theevening for dinner in the Guild Hall.

Many not only serve aschalice bearers, but also carry communion to our shut-ins.Fittingly, each Sunday, at the end of the 10 a.m. service,parishioners send them out with the words: May you carry theprayers of all of us, as you take this Sacrament of Christ’s presence.The 2011 Cathedral Institute, covering End of Life issues,the Gospel of St. Matthew, prayer, and the AnglicanCovenant, was truly successful and had an averageattendance of 20. The 2012 Cathedral Institute has beenmoved to the second Thursday of the month at the requestof a number of individuals and to avoid several schedulingconflicts. It will be partnering with the group looking at thebroad issue of our Response to Violence. It will alsocontinue to look at some Anglican issues, namely theGeneral Convention, its resolutions and decisions. DuringLent, Dean Carroll will lead us in discussion onCommandments 4–10 using the text Mere Morality. Thefinal two months will be devoted to Iconography inpreparation for the major icon exhibit scheduled at theCathedral from February 15–April 1, 2013.On January 9, 2012, along with sevenother individuals, I began the journey ofministry discernment throughCommunity of Hope, International. Thistwelve-week program of classes andsubsequent internship is specificallydesigned to “create Christian communities of lay pastoralcare givers.”Outside of the Cathedral, I serve on the DiocesanCommission on Ministry, the Lifelong Christian FormationCommittee and the Institute for Christian FormationContinuing Education. I am also the Recorder of theMinutes for Executive Council. I truly encourage you toread the minutes in order to beaware of diocesan matters and toget an appreciation of theworkings of the diocesanleadership. The minutes are onthe diocesan website:www.diolmil.org/.I feel truly blessed to be part ofthis congregation. You give mejoy and energy.Prayerfully,Deacon Marge KissFebruary 201210
