READINGS THIS WEEK COLLECT Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that richly bearing the fruit of good works, we may by you be richly rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS Great and holy God, accept our offering of labour and love. May we bring you true and spiritual worship and be one with you. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Father, your word and sacrament give us food and life. May we who have shared in holy thingsbear fruit to your honour and glory, in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Come, go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words." So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. The vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me: Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord. Just like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. At one moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, but if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I intended to bring on it. And at another moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it, but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it. SEPTEMBER 8,

7 Now, therefore, say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says the Lord: Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, all of you from your evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. JEREMIAH 18:1-11 PSALM REFRAIN Your works are wonderful, O Lord. Lord, you have searched me out and known me; you know my sitting down and my rising up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You trace my journeys and my resting-places and are acquainted with all my ways. Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, but you, O Lord, know it altogether. R You press upon me behind and before and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain to it. R For you yourself created my inmost parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will thank you because I am marvellously made; your works are wonderful, and I know it well. R My body was not hidden from you, while I was being made in secret and woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb; all of them were written in your book; they were fashioned day by day, when as yet there was none of them. R How deep I find your thoughts, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours. R PSALM 139:1-5, A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO PHILEMON Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and coworker, to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective when you perceive all the good that we may do for Christ. I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my SEPTEMBER 8,

8 brother. For this reason, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do your duty, yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love - and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful both to you and to me. I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I wanted to keep him with me, so that he might be of service to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel; but I preferred to do nothing without your consent, in order that your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced. Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother - especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self. Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ. Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do more than I say. PHILEMON 1-21 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE Now large crowds were travelling with Jesus; and he turned and said to them, "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms of peace. So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions." LUKE 14:25-33 SEPTEMBER 8,

From the PWRDF Mexican midwives save lives with help from PWRDF Having a capable, trained midwife can be the difference between life and death for Indigenous mothers in Mexico. Before the Casa de la Mujer Indigena (CAMI) opened in 2006 in Chalchihuitán in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, 50 women were dying in childbirth each year in this community of fewer than 15,000 people. BULLETIN NOTICES 13

14 As of January this year, that number has dropped to zero. The organization behind this centre for Indigenous women's health and others like it elsewhere is K'inal Antzetik ("Land of Women" in the Tzeltal Mayan language). They are partnered with the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) to support Indigenous midwives and community health workers in southern Mexico. These midwives and community health workers lead workshops on gender issues and women's reproductive health, accompany women through pregnancy, make sure women with high risk pregnancies are connected to the health care system, and advocate for Indigenous women in that same system. "There is a lack of cultural sensitivity in public policy," says Lina Rosa Berrio, the executive director of K'inal. "Our goal is to make social inequality visible, and to ensure better conditions in sexual and reproductive health for indigenous women." One particular woman who was working in the fields right up until the beginning of labour took a 10-hour bus ride to the nearest hospital only to be told to go home and wash. "A lot of women and children were dying because the medical system didn't have any compassion or understanding that these women have to work in the fields right up until their water breaks," says Simon Chambers, communications coordinator for PWRDF, who visited southern Mexico this past January. Thankfully, the presence of midwives in local hospitals has made a definite and positive difference. "There is a mutual respect," says Jose Zarate, manager of PWRDF's Indigenous communities and Latin America and Caribbean development program. "The doctors in the hospital understand the role played by the BULLETIN NOTICES 14

15 midwife. Through the time spent by the midwife with the woman at the hospital, she learns how the hospital works. So it's a combination of western' science as well as traditional health." K'inal Antzetik's midwives and community health workers receive training in the form of courses and workshops at their local CAMIs. "It doesn't in any way discount the traditional knowledge that they have," says Chambers, "but instead says Here's some of the science behind it, here's some of what the doctors will be talking about, so when you go to a hospital you can talk in language that doctors understand and not be looked down on.'marta Perez Perez, one of the newer midwives at the CAMI in Chalchihuitán, is eager to work and to learn in her chosen field. "I strongly believe that the CAMI provides a better method of supporting women's health needs. Fewer mothers are dying in childbirth now; this is important work," says Perez. "I want to learn, to participate in any workshops or courses that will let me provide better service to the women of the community. I'm proud to be part of the team of midwives!" In the Gifts for Mission catalogue bundled with the October 2013 issue of the Anglican Journal you can directly support training and networking opportunities, helping them learn how to combine their traditional knowledge with western' medicine in a way that gives them the best of both worlds.
