Stolen Checks, Morality and Ethics by Rev. Clay Stauffer, Senior Minister
Last week, it was brought to our attention that a thief had stolen some checks made out to Woodmont from our church mailbox during the months of November and December, two months where charitable giving is at its peak. The person was then able to take the checks, open up a false account under the obscure name of "Outreach Ministries" at a bank, deposit the stolen checks, and then withdraw cash using an ATM card. We were not the only church targeted. This also happened to Brentwood Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church in Franklin, and a number of other congregations in the Nashville area. Chris Beck, our finance manager, has been on top of this. We have been in touch with police detectives working on this case. We now have a list of the checks (and names) that were stolen and we are contacting those folks in our congregation. Thankfully, it was not an overwhelmingly large sum of money but the situation is certainly disheartening on many levels. We are taking measures to further secure our external mail. We also have other members that have written checks to Woodmont that were never cashed. We can only assume that these checks were stolen as well and then were not deposited into the fraudulent account. Please check your giving records and if you wrote a check to Woodmont in November or December that did not go through, please let us know as soon as possible. Chris Beck can provide you with a giving statement. 2012 Statements were mailed out a few weeks ago for tax purposes. Obviously this situation, like many others in life, raises questions of ethics and morality. There are simply people in the world who do not seem to have a conscience and who choose to act immorally. Mary Welsh Owen's response when we first learned of this situation was: "Who steals from a church?!" Sadly, there are people that do as we have just discovered. Morality has been defined as "the system through which we determine right from wrong." Ethics has been simply defined as "the study of morality." Clearly, the two are closely related. Some have said before that one of the strongest arguments for the existence of God is our moral sense, often referred to as our conscience. Most people are able to differentiate between right and wrong. But what about those who can't? Or, do they know right from wrong, moral from immoral, and simply choose to do the latter? Duke theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas wrote a phenomenal book back in 1983 titled The Peaceable Kingdom: A Primer in Christian Ethics. In the very first chapter of that book, he says this: "We are told we live in a morally bankrupt age. People think what was at one time unthinkable; indeed they do what was one time unthinkable. We experience our world as so morally chaotic that we now feel our only alternative is for each person "to
The Spire is published weekly by:

choose," if not create, the standards by which they will live" (Hauerwas 2). Many have heard that the rallying cry for the postmodern age is that "there are no absolutes," and that everybody has to decide for themselves what is true and moral. This is a slippery slope because there are moral absolutes and there is a difference between right and wrong, even if some situations are more obvious than others. Hauerwas goes on to say, "Life in a world of moral fragments is always on the edge of violence, since there are no means to ensure that moral argument in itself can resolve our moral conflicts. No wonder we hunger for absolutes in such a world, for we rightly desire peace in ourselves and in our relations with one another. Granted the world has always been violent, but when our own civilization seems to lack the means to secure peace within itself we seem hopelessly lost" (Hauerwas 5-6). In the absence of moral standards, the world does seem chaotic and out of control. Parents play a tremendous role in instilling moral and ethical values into their children. The church does as well. It is no surprise to me that as more and more people have moved away from the church and away from faith, questions of morality are not as clear. The good news is that the vast majority of people in our world continue to do what is right. Yet those who choose otherwise do great damage and tear apart the moral fabric and sense of communal trust. Mahatma Ghandi was known as one of the world's greatest advocates for non violence, and before his death, he gave his grandson a list of what he called the "Seven Blunders of the World" that can lead to violence. Each of these is worth considering in a discussion about morals and ethics: 1. Wealth without work. 2. Pleasure without conscience. 3. Knowledge without character. 4. Commerce without morality. 5. Science without humanity. 6. Worship without sacrifice. 7. Politics without principle. We should all wrestle with these timeless words of Gandhi and the implications that they have for our existence. Living a moral and ethical life requires us to do what is right even when nobody is looking. In fact, it can be said that our character is defined when no one else is looking. At the end of the day, we have to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror and be satisfied with the person that we see. Gandhi realized that, and so should we.

The Problem With Prayer by Thom Schuyler, Youth Director

Most Christians I know have a mental list of the things they hold most sacred and significant about their faith. They vary, of course, but every one of those lists that have been shared with me includes the same vital component: prayer. Christians believe in prayer. Personally, I have a problem with prayer. Prayer requires a large amount of our most precious and diminishing resource: time. In The Age of The Internet, the Smart Phone and 24-hour news and entertainment cycles, prayer demands our full attention. In a Culture of Multi-Tasking prayer challenges our ability to focus. In the Generation of I-Me-My, prayer calls us to be selfless. Into a World of Talking Heads and Spin Doctors prayer brings silence. Into The Sphere of Science and Proof prayer brings mystery. Prayer begs us to stop. Prayer asks us to listen. Prayer wants us to be vulnerable. Prayer turns our gaze away from ourselves. Prayer turns our gaze inward, beyond where we wish to look. Prayer causes us to surrender. Prayer seeks God's will. Prayer is a conversation with The Almighty. Prayer initiates change. Still, I have a problem with prayer. I don't pray as much or as deeply as I wish. When I awake in the morning my mind begins to roll into the demands of the day. When I lay down at night my bedtime prayers drift into sleep. In the middle of any given day my oh-so-important life is unwilling to relinquish the time necessary to converse with God. I am not anxious to confront that which awaits me when prayer peels back the layers of my soul. I have an elevated and laughable sense of my ability to get through anything. I want things my way and I resist change. Not to mention that I am selfish, lazy, anxious, protective, stubborn and downright angry sometimes. For all these reasons and more, I am very glad that Clay has chosen prayer as a focus for our congregation this year (and beyond). I doubt that anyone else at Woodmont can relate to my problem with prayer but I would ask one thing: pray for meand I will pray for you. "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1) xo - Thom

Being Truly Healthy by Mary Clare Pyron, Parish Nurse

When we think of a healthy person we often think of someone who is physically fit, eats the right foods and works out regularly. But the truth is in order to be a healthy person we must not only care for our physical health but also care for our mental and spiritual health. Lent is the perfect time to practice being physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy. It is a time when many Christians practice giving things up or taking new things on as a way to remember and prepare for Christ's death and glorious resurrection. Here are a few ideas of different ways to improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health during this season of Lent. could choose a scripture to think about and meditate on over the course of the day or week. Improving your mental health might also be as simple as taking a few minutes to sit outside and marvel at God's creation. Improve your spiritual health by reading through a book of the Bible, or setting aside 10 minutes each day to pray and reflect. Improve your spiritual health by finding a ministry to support and volunteer your time.

Being healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually is something that we can all strive for and something that we each have the ability to improve in our own lives. There is no Improve your physical health by taking a walk each better time to start than during this season of new life and new morning to start your day or taking the stairs at work instead beginnings. of the elevator. You could also improve your physical health ~Mary Clare by eating healthy meals or cooking dinner instead of eating out. Improve your mental health by taking 5 minutes at the end of the day to make a list of things you are thankful for, or you

Lenten Sermon Series

Beginning This Sunday, February 17th "Parables of Jesus" from the Gospel of Luke by Rev. Clay Stauffer

CWF Circle 6 is excited to help a brand new Girl Scout troop at Ross Elementary School in East Nashville! A vibrant and enthusiastic group of girls meets on Fridays to build "courage, confidence, and character." Because 96% of the students at Ross are low-income, these girls and their Scout leader could use our help. We are collecting healthy snacks and drinks for the girls' meetings. Requested items include raisins, gold fish, pretzels, apple sauce, granola bars, juice boxes of 100% fruit juice, and small bottles of water. A collection bin will be in the gathering hall and in Kids Commons this Sunday, February 17.

Woodmont Accessibility Council

Introducing the Woodmont "Accessibility Council"
In an attempt to better serve the needs of our members and our community, our church has recently formed an Accessibility Council. This group of Woodmont's architects, carpenters, special education teachers, ministers, and disability advocates exists to make our church more open and accessible to people with both physical and developmental disabilities. The first major project was the Empathy Dinner held on January 9, 2013 to educate the congregation on the needs of people with disabilities. The next project is to make our beautiful sanctuary accessible to people in wheelchairs by adding a couple of spots for wheelchairs dispersed among the pews. In the past, seating options for people in wheelchairs has been limited, but this will allow them to sit where they may feel more comfortable and included in our community. We appreciate the work of the Woodmont Board and Property Committee for their prayer, support, and effort in making this project possible. Continuing the success and interest of the Accessibility Council, we will meet in Room 200 for a short time following worship at noon on Sunday, February 24, 2013. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please join us for this very short meeting. The goal is to identify and remove the barriers that keep anyone from full participation in our church. It is our desire that no one is left unserved, regardless of the need.
