Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA

In observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, “Love Letters” by A. R. Gurney will be presented October 14 and 15 at The Players The-

atre at 16217 Richmond Road near Callao. The two-night run will benefit The Haven Shelter

and Services in Warsaw, according to community relations coordinator Sandra D. Longest.

“Love Letters” tells the story of the 50-year rela-tionship between Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, said Longest. Both born to wealth and position, these childhood friends begin a lifelong correspondence with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. The audi-ence eavesdrops as they express their hopes, dreams, disappointments—and their growing love for each other—in a half century of love letters.

Produced by The Haven, “Love Letters” will be directed by Kenneth Baker of Weems, a member of the Dramatists Guild of America. The Haven board member Paula McNulty will play the part of Melissa (understudied by Kathryn Shepherd). The role of Andrew will be shared by Lancaster County Com-monwealth’s Attorney Jeff Schmidt on Friday and Brad Parks on Saturday.

“We are thrilled to have Ken, Paula, Jeff and Brad staging this magnificent play as a fundraiser for The

Haven and appreciate their support,” said Longest. “As we are faced with the challenge to meet steadily increasing demands for services with steadily decreasing funding, we are very thankful to be part of such a supportive community. We hope that the contrast between the wonderful love story behind this play and the reality of the Silent Witness Project, that will also be part of this year’s awareness month, will remind our community why their support for survivors and the overall prevention of violence is so important.”

Tickets for the October 14 performance are $75 per person and will include a beverage and dessert reception with the cast following the play. Tick-ets for the October 15 performance are $25 per person with beverages and desserts offered by the Westmoreland Players before and after the perfor-mance at an additional charge.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the play will begin at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

Ticket reservations may be made by mailing a check to The Haven at P.O. Box 1267, Warsaw, VA 22572, or by calling 333-1099. The Haven also accepts VISA cards. You may go to havenshelter.org and print off the brochure and ticket order form.

SAFETY TIPS FOR CHILDREN• Never touch matches without an adult to help you.• Always unplug electrical toys and devices when not in use.• In case of fire, stop what you are doing, drop to the floor and roll on the ground to safety.• If there is a fire in your house and you are in your room with the door closed, touch the door. If it is hot, don’t open it! The fire could be near. Open your window and crawl out.• Ask your parents to have a special fire alarm so you know what to do in case of a fire.

LIVELY • OTTOMAN

1. IF FIRE BREAKS OUT in your home, get out fast with your family. Fire can spread.2. IF YOU FIND SMOKE in an open stairway or open hall, use another preplanned way out. Teach your children how to use the phone to report a fire.3. MAKE SURE children can open doors, windows and screens to escape routes.

4. MAKE SURE your family knows the quickest and safest ways to escape from every room in the house.5. DON’T fight the fire yourself. 6. IF YOU ARE TRAPPED in a smoke filled room, stay near the floor where the air is better.7. DON’T JUMP. Many people have jumped and died not realizing rescue was only minutes away.

Firefighters . . .We would like to take this time to sincerely thank the local firefighters for all they do for the public. Let us all practice fire safety to help ease the difficult job of these dedicated volunteers.

Controversy exists over whether or not our first president was a Christian. As

a Northern Necker descendant of the Ball Family, this we do know: he was baptized as an infant in the Anglican Church. He worked in colonial government as a card-carrying Anglican, mandatory at the time.

After 1775–1783, the Anglican Church, which owed its authority to both Bible and the English monarch, was rejected in favor of the emerging American Episcopal Church (albeit “Bible” alone).

Accusations of Washington being a Deist may just be imperfectly spoken because he was seeking a language of Christianity that would take God out of the Anglican Church and into a new world, even a new world of thought. Arguments ensue as to whether or not he took communion. Holy Communion as we know it these days in the Episcopal Church was not so subscribed in earlier times. Perhaps monthly or just on celebratory occasions was enough. Perhaps too much has been written on the subject. Suffice it to say that any number of family, friends, clergy and politicians indicate the depth of his Christian practice. Reportedly, he left church early without affording himself of communion. Maybe it allowed him the option of leaving before persons could seek him out with issues awaiting opportu-nity. I am not sure.

He has a record both while in the mili-tary and as president of availing himself of Christian counsel and sermons, at times even numerous occasions on a single Sunday.

Washington believed that “religious prin-ciples promote the protection of property, reputation and life, which are the founda-tions of justice.” He postulated that the nation’s “morality cannot be maintained without religion and, since morality is nec-essary in popularly elected governments, religion is vital in maintaining the popularly elected government of the United States.” His farewell 1792 speech was “written with the help of James Madison, when he was thinking of retiring after his first term in office.” The official farewell speech, later edited by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of Treasury, and Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State, “was actually published in the American Daily Advertiser on Septem-ber 19, 1796.” The speech was titled: The Address of General Washington To The People of The United States on his declin-ing of the Presidency of the United States; the letter was almost immediately reprinted in newspapers across the country.

Washington wrote: “Of all the disposi-tions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indis-pensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect

and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be con-ceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

Christianity exercised a profound role throughout our 18th-century forefather’s life.

“There has been a huge controversy, to put it mildly, about Washington’s religious beliefs… he was clearly Christian... He was quite intensely religious, because even though he uses the word Providence, he constantly sees Providence as an active force in life, particularly in American life. I mean, every single victory in war he

credits to Providence. The miracle of the Constitutional Con-vention he credits to Providence. The creation of the federal government and the prosperity of the early republic, he credits to Providence... I was struck at how fre-

quently in his letters he’s referring to Provi-dence, and it’s Providence where there’s a sense of design and purpose, which sounds to me very much like religion... Unfortu-nately, this particular issue has become very, very politicized.” (Ron Chernow, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington: A Life, The Penguin Press, 2010).

Washington had a tolerance for religious beliefs beyond those of his parents and peers. He found value in most religions. Scrutiny indicates a preference of those who were Christ followers. Leave it there.

In every age, critics will assess our reli-gious behavior in accord to their narrow standard of particular persuasion.

Some of the meanest people I have encountered called themselves “Christian.” Gather me amongst those who quietly go about doing good in the name of the Lord, and I can feel the power of God’s Spirit in our circle. Have you read in the Good Book that, “We shall be known by our fruits” (actions)? Matthew 7:16.

Old George “walked the walk,” even if he “failed the talk” expected by others. There’s a lesson in that for me in an election cli-mate! One evaluation of candidates for any office might be to check the fruits of their religiosity. I do not flee from asking politi-cians wanting my vote to tell me about their church affiliation and service. Then I can consider them in conjunction with where I feel God is leading me.

CHURCH NOTES

New Life Community Church will host a healing and miracle service with Sidney Sheldon of Christ Impact Min-istry at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, October 9.

Since 2001, Sheldon has seen the Lord use him to bring about healings and miracles in the U.S. and in countries in Eastern Europe as he submitted himself to the Lord’s lead-ing, said pastor C. Richard Lynn. He has been used as a vessel God has worked through and he himself has received miracles and healings personally, said Lynn. “Come and discover how you too can be used by the Lord to do these same things,” he said. “Bring your friends and loved ones, and acquaintances in need of healings or in need of a mira-cle and see what the Lord will do for each one.”

Healing and miracle service is Sunday

The Bethel-Emmanuel United Methodist Men will meet for dinner at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 12, at Bethel Church.

In preparation for their upcoming Rockfish Derby, the men will hear Capt. Max King of Chesapeake, a well-known Virginia Master Angler and a two-time winner of the Mid Atlantic Rockfish Shootout, one of the largest annual fish-ing tournaments on the East Coast.
