1 The Newsletter of the First United Methodist Church of Decatur, Alabama May 23, 2018 Something Borrowed, Something New When the founder of Methodism read devotional material that was helpful to his own spiritual growth, he had it reprinted. Plagiarism was not a great concern for John Wesley. For instance, the Wesleyan Covenant Prayer that begins, I am no longer my own but Thine; put me to what Thou wilt; rank me with whom Thou wilt was originally part of a Puritan covenant renewal service. It was popularly used among Methodists and circuit riders distributed it without even a footnote of credit to the originators. In Wesley s era, imitation was the best form of flattery. Then one day a writer realized that others were profiting from his ideas. The concept of intellectual property was born. Lawmakers and courts got involved. Laws were made forbidding the use of others ideas, words, music, images, sounds and aromas without the express written permission of the owner of the material. Copyright infringement cases to be tried fill court dockets. At the same time, we have developed computer technology capable of finding and copying almost any form of intellectual property. Someone thanked me for one of my sermons and said it reflected many hours of study. I accepted the affirmation. I had spent several hours preparing it. I also used many thoughts from others who likely worked longer developing each idea than I did on the entire sermon. It was a collaborative effort of the Biblical writers, writers of commentaries, and other reflections and sermons on the topic. I have to say that I wrote the sermon with et. al. a Latin phrase meaning and others. I do not credit all contributors to my sermons because I do not blame them when someone disagrees with something I preach. I only include in sermons thoughts that I believe are true testimony to Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I can say after I preach, This I believe. I watched a video clip of one of my favorite writers, Wendell Berry, who offered a warning about our information search engine world. You can type any subject into a window on a computer screen and the search engine often accesses thousands of websites and documents related to it. What could be wrong with that? Berry says that this information dump can rob us of the ability to be reflective, to meticulously research a topic in volumes of library books, and to take the time to think critically about the subject and to develop our own ideas on it. It s so easy and quick to copy and mimic what someone else thinks that we don t reach heart-felt convictions anymore. We merely repeat something we Googled. Since I Googled the Berry video, I stand convicted and have stopped long enough to reflect on it. Anselm, the 11 th century Archbishop of Canterbury in the Roman Catholic Church, boasted that he had never had an original thought. This was to contrast himself with a theological opponent named Abelard, a younger French Theologian, who had developed the exemplary theory of the atonement, which differed from previously development orthodox atonement theories. I believe it is important to know the origin of ideas we adopt as our own and give credit where credit is due, while at the same time realizing and celebrating that no one else has lived in our time, place, and circumstances to apply and contextualize those ideas the way we do. Jesus words about telling parables applies to us: Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old. (Matthew 13:52) --Pastor Hughey, et. al. The church office will be closed on Monday, May 28 for the holiday.
2 Last Sunday was a very special day in the life of our church. We celebrated five seniors who graduated this week and now they turn their focus to a new season in life. I ask each member of the church to pray for these families and students as they make their transitions to colleges within our state. Also, I wanted to recognize two students for their achievements this year. The first student, Susan Floyd, earned Valedictorian honors for Decatur High School! The second student, Lydia Matthews, was named Oak Park Middle School s Student of the Year! Congratulations to both of these students not only for their work this year but all the work up to this point. Your church family is very proud of you! Thanks, Patrick Finley Pastor of Discipleship and Youth (Office) (Cell) pfinley@decaturfumc.org Urban Acre Community Garden These photos were taken at our church s community garden, The Urban Acre, on May 21. You can see how the plants and seeds planted in April and May are developing. Some of the cool season crops, like lettuce, are ready to harvest now in small quantities. We expect squash and zucchini to bear fruit in June and tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables in July. Contact the church office if you would like to help with the church s garden.
