Rhem July 23, 2008 Prepared text of prayer Let us be in the spirit of prayer. Eternal Spirit, in these moments we would be attentive – attentive to that recognition that there is so much more to life than meets the eye. In this information saturated world there is more than all the pieces of information we pick up in a day or a week. We value knowledge; yet there is more than knowledge – There is – the intuitive sense that life is more than a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury – There is – the wisdom of the heart that moves us beneath the surface of life, beyond mere happenings and events to the creative center of being from whence stream Nature’s prodigal profusion of emerging structures and of life, of consciousness and awareness, so much more than simply the overload of data. There is – meaning which we discover and create – the Grace that affirms and frees us… the Love that frees us from self preoccupation and self absorption… the Care that bonds us in community. Let us be mindful of the grace of life that has come to us, for this place of natural beauty © Grand Valley State University   �Picnic Prayer Richard A. Rhem let us be grateful… O God, receive our thanksgiving – for leisure time in which to relax, to enjoy sun and surf and sand and solitude; for family reunions that bring back memories of childhood and youth, of grandparents and cousins and uncles and aunts; for a sense of roots and rootedness, places to revisit and times to remember; for the interruptions of our well-laid plans that have led to experiences we would not have dared to dream; and for the detours along life’s way that have led us into byways of beauty we would never have known; for hope that rises in the wake of every setback giving us courage to go on in the confidence that there is always something more; for that strange peace that no storm can shake, no raging billow wash away, a peace that passes all human understanding; for the grace of life and all good gifts, we are truly grateful. Let us be mindful of our world – Our world is smoldering; fires burn in streets; anger seethes in the cauldron of human hearts, disaffected, alienated, disillusioned. What pain drives to anarchy, dissipating youthful idealism and hope? Before the world’s chaos, pain and anguish, Give us the wisdom to be silent before we speak; to identify with and immerse ourselves before we offer remedies too easy, too facile, too self-serving. Give us insight and sensitivity to discern © Grand Valley State University Page 2   �Picnic Prayer Richard A. Rhem that ominous thunder of the shaking of the foundations; to recognize the recurrent corruptions of power that we see all around us. Enable us to see beneath the skin of the world its heaving passion, its loveliness and its horror – a world that is a ridiculous mixture of good and evil, of beautiful tenderness and unspeakable brutality; a world where flowers bloom on manure heaps, and deadly cancer grows on a beautiful, young body; a world under the dominion of death, natural, yet often so unexpected, so violent, so absurd! O God, This is the real world, the only world we have with its dreams of Eden and its portents of Armageddon. Renew our vision, give us courage, restore hope, heal our world with us, who are the highly favored, leading the way to peace, justice and compassion, to realize the vision of the one we follow, Jesus, our Lord – O Lord, hear our prayer. © Grand Valley State University Page 3   � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Richard A. Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.
