-	Good morning, we'd like to welcome you to Duke Chapel.	2:22
	Immediately following the service today,	2:26
	refreshments will be served in the chapel basement	2:28
	by the members of the congregation at Duke Chapel.	2:31
	Also, on the lawn, immediately following the service,	2:34
	you will be able to buy Christmas cards	2:37
	from the Heifer Project both this Sunday and next Sunday.	2:39
	We are in, today, for a special treat.	2:44
	You will notice that the order of service	2:47
	is somewhat different.	2:49
	We will ask you to sit during the processional today	2:51
	so that you may more fully enter into the spirit	2:55
	of the music and the dance from the African Mass Miss Aluba.	2:58
	Miss Aluba has been selected for All Saints Day	3:03
	in recognition of our faith, which connects us with	3:06
	believers across the world.	3:09
	We believe that participation in this music gives us	3:12
	a hint of the universality of Christ	3:15
	and our Christian commitment.	3:17
	We're grateful to the choir and to the Clay Taliaferro	3:19
	dancers for this opportunity to experience the music	3:23
	and dance of our brothers and sisters from Africa.	3:27
	Let us continue our worship with a greeting.	3:30
	Please stand.	3:33
	Create in me a clean heart, oh God.	3:38
	(audience responds)	3:43
	Open my lips, oh Lord.	3:45
	(audience responds)	3:48
	You may be seated.	3:51
	(African music)	4:02
-	May I invite you to join me in our prayer	6:32
	of confession and pardon.	6:35
	Number 890 in the hymnal.	6:38
	Kindly rise.	6:41
	Let us pray together.	6:51
	Most merciful God, we confess that we have	6:54
	sinned against you in thought, word, and deed	6:58
	by what we have done and by what we have left undone.	7:02
	We have not loved you with our whole heart.	7:07
	We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.	7:10
	We are truly sorry, and we humbly repent.	7:14
	For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ,	7:18
	have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight	7:21
	in your will and walk in your ways	7:26
	to the glory of your name.	7:29
	Amen.	7:32
	Almighty God, have mercy on you,	7:46
	forgive all your sins through our Lord, Jesus Christ,	7:49
	strengthen you in all goodness,	7:53
	and by the power of the Holy Spirit,	7:55
	keep you in eternal life.	7:57
	Amen.	8:01

-	Will you join with me in the Prayer for Illumination	11:24
	as printed in your bulletin.	11:27
	Open our hearts and minds, oh God, by the power	11:31
	of your Holy Spirit, so that, as the Word is read	11:35
	and proclaimed, we may hear your message with joy this day.	11:39
	Amen.	11:44
	The epistle lesson is found in Paul's letter	11:46
	to the Ephesians, chapter one, verses 11 through 23.	11:49
	In Christ, we have also obtained an inheritance.	11:54
	Having been destined according to the purpose of Him,	11:59
	Who accomplishes all things according	12:02
	to His counsel and will, so that we, who were the first	12:05
	to set our hope on Christ might live for the praise	12:10
	of His glory.	12:14
	In Him, you also, when you have heard the word of truth,	12:16
	the gospel of your salvation and have believed in Him,	12:21
	were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.	12:26
	This is the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption	12:30
	as God's own people to the praise of His glory.	12:36
	I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,	12:41
	and your love towards all the saints,	12:45
	and for this reason, I do not cease to give thanks for you,	12:48
	as I remember you in my prayers.	12:53
	I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,	12:57
	the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom	13:01
	and revelation as you come to know Him,	13:06
	so that with the eyes of your heart enlightened,	13:10
	you may know what is the hope to which He has called you.	13:15
	What are the riches of His glorious inheritance	13:20
	among the saints?	13:23
	And what is the immeasurable greatness of His power for us	13:25
	who believe according to the working of His great power?	13:29
	God put this power to work in Christ when He raised Him	13:35
	from the dead and seated Him at the right hand	13:39
	of the heavenly places.	13:43
	Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion	13:45
	and above every name that is named, not only in this age,	13:51
	but also in the age to come.	13:56
	And He has put all things under his feet,	14:00
	and has made Him the head over all things for the church,	14:03
	which is His body, the fullness of Him,	14:08
	who fills all in all.	14:12
	This is the Word of the Lord.	14:15
Congregation	Thanks be to God.	14:17
-	The gospel lesson is located in Luke chapter six,	14:20
	verses 20 through 26.	14:24
	Then He looked upon His disciples and said to them,	14:28
	"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is	14:32
	"the kingdom of God.	14:36
	"Blessed are you who are hungry now,	14:38
	"for you will be filled.	14:41
	"Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.	14:44
	"Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they	14:49
	"exclude you, revile you, and defame you,	14:52
	"on account of the Son of man.	14:56
	"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,	15:00
	"for surely your reward is great in heaven,	15:03
	"for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.	15:08
	"But woe to you who are rich,	15:13
	"for you have received your consolation.	15:16
	"Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry.	15:19
	"Woe to you who are laughing now,	15:25
	"for you will mourn and weep.	15:28
	"Woe to you when all speak well of you,	15:31
	"for that is what their ancestors did	15:35
	"to the false prophets."	15:38
	This is the Word of the Lord.	15:41
All	Thanks be to God.	15:43
-	Stuart Henry, a beloved professor emeritus	15:56
	from the divinity school, once told this story	16:00
	of a conversation that he had with a father who visited	16:03
	Duke Chapel with his son.	16:06
	It was a brilliant, sunny day, something like this one,	16:09
	and as they walked around the chapel, the father pointed out	16:14
	the figures in the stained glass windows.	16:17
	Later he asked his son, "Do you know who the saints are?"	16:21
	And the little boy answered, "The saints are the people	16:26
	"the sun shines through."	16:29
	The saints are the people the Son shines through.	16:33
	On this All Saints Sunday, we commemorate those people	16:39
	whom the Son shines through.	16:44
	People whose lives and deaths are so faithful that they	16:48
	are transparent as a beautiful pane of colored glass,	16:52
	allowing the light of Christ to shine through them	16:57
	into the world.	17:01
	This is what Jesus meant when He said,	17:03
	"Abide in me and I will abide in you."	17:05
	It is when the individual is so close to Christ	17:09
	that when you look at them, it's no longer simply	17:14
	that person that you see, but also the very presence	17:16
	of the Son of God shining through them.	17:20
	It is when their life is so aligned with Christ,	17:23
	that God's will	17:28
	and their acting are of one accord.	17:30
	It is a blessing to have the witness of the saints	17:36
	to offer us a clear model of what it means to live	17:39
	in and through Christ.	17:42
	In the chapel, we are surrounded by these saints,	17:45
	these windows through which their light shines through.	17:50
	These carvings remind us of the faithful	17:55
	who've gone before us.	17:59
	Look around you at the saints.	18:01
	In the top windows in the nave, we see the lives	18:04
	of the Old Testament faithful: Noah, Abraham, and Sarah,	18:08
	Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob, Moses, David, and Job.	18:12
	The bottom windows around the nave depict the men and women	18:18
	from the New Testament: Elizabeth and Zacharias,	18:21
	John the Baptist, Mary and Joseph, Jesus, the apostles,	18:25
	Mary and Martha, Mary Magdalene, Paul.	18:30
	Like heroes in the secular culture, these saints and the	18:35
	countless faithful across the centuries offer the church	18:39
	a vision, a model, of what is possible when we live	18:43
	in and through God.	18:47
	Through the stories that we tell about them, their faith	18:50
	is passed on, it shines through, across the chasm	18:54
	of time and space.	18:58
	It is tempting for us to look upon these men and women	19:02
	of faith from the past as exceptional.	19:05
	We find it easy to accept their sainthood,	19:09
	and we can even point to a few special people in more	19:12
	recent times whom we would name among the saints:	19:15
	Oscar Romero, Detrich Bonhoeffer, the Maryknoll Sisters.	19:19
	There is no doubt that the Son shined through these saints.	19:26
	They manifested Christ through their lives and deaths.	19:31
	They have been an inspiration for us and for many.	19:35
	But we tend to look at them as the exception	19:40
	rather than the rule.	19:43
	We would like to hold ourselves to a different standard,	19:45
	but to do so is to fundamentally misunderstand the meaning	19:50
	of the All Saints celebration and the Christian faith.	19:53
	In our baptismal covenant, and in the Apostle's Creed,	19:58
	we say that we believe in the communion of saints.	20:02
	In the Ephesians text today, the writer commends the church	20:07
	for their love extended toward all the saints.	20:10
	When the word saint is used in the New Testament,	20:15
	it doesn't refer only to the exceptionally courageous	20:18
	or faithful, but to all believers.	20:21
	Anyone who has been baptized into the death	20:25
	and resurrection of Jesus Christ is included	20:29
	among the saints.	20:32
	To be a saint simply means that you die to self in order	20:35
	to live to Christ.	20:40
	As Christians, we believe that through the working	20:42
	of the Holy Spirit, our very being is united with Christ,	20:45
	and through that same spirit working in the world,	20:51
	we are united with each other.	20:53
	It means that individually and collectively as the church,	20:57
	we live out of the deepest understanding	21:02
	that we belong to God.	21:05
	This relationship of communion with God through Christ	21:09
	isn't attainable only by the few, but is at the very core,	21:14
	at the heart, of what it means to be a Christian.	21:19
	It is what sets us apart and marks us as members	21:22
	of the body of Christ.	21:25
	It is what makes us the church.	21:27
	The communion that we share in Christ, unites us with God	21:30
	and with each other.	21:35
	And it transcends the boundaries of time and space,	21:36
	of life and death.	21:41
	When we worship together in faith, we are united	21:44
	with one another, with God, and with believers	21:47
	in every time and place.	21:51
	Our spirits are united with the Spirit of God,	21:53
	which is working in us and in all believers across the world	21:57
	to bring about God's purposes.	22:01
	This unity across time and space was brought home to me	22:04
	in a very real way on a mission trip to Honduras.	22:09
	Working with the community in San Marcos de la Sula,	22:13
	a remote mountain village.	22:17
	Many of us were initially conscious only of the distance	22:19
	of the chasm that separated our lives:	22:23
	language, culture, poverty, education.	22:27
	What did we have in common with people who lived in shacks	22:31
	with no water or electricity, who walked for miles	22:34
	every day carrying water on their heads.	22:38
	How could the chasm between our world and theirs be bridged?	22:41
	But in worship, as we read the same scriptures that	22:48
	were read in Duke Chapel, as we prayed and confessed	22:51
	our sins, as we gave thanks for the gift of God's love	22:55
	and forgiveness in Jesus Christ, and as we exchanged	22:59
	the signs of peace with one another.	23:03
	The differences dropped away, and we became one people,	23:06
	part of the one body of Christ,	23:12
	belonging to the one God and Lord of us all.	23:15
	Our offering of medical care and their offering	23:20
	of hospitality to the stranger, were motivated	23:24
	by the same call to manifest the love of God in our lives.	23:28
	As we offered our hands and hearts to one another,	23:34
	you could see the Son shining through.	23:38
	And for just a moment, we were the communion of saints.	23:42
	Communion with God and with each other through Christ	23:47
	is what we are called to manifest in our lives every day.	23:52
	It doesn't mean that we become perfect all of a sudden,	23:57
	or that we no longer sin, but it means that our lives	24:00
	get shaped and rearranged by the fundamental understanding	24:04
	that we belong to God and to each other as the church.	24:09
	It is what defines our identity	24:15
	and determines our priorities.	24:17
	It is no longer just the life that we want to live,	24:19
	but the life that Christ wants to live in us,	24:24
	individually and collectively as the church.	24:28
	It doesn't mean that we're all expected to quit our jobs	24:32
	and join religious orders, although some of us are	24:35
	called to that.	24:38
	But it does mean asking, how can we let the light of Christ	24:39
	shine through us as physicians, professors, students,	24:43
	accountants, housekeepers.	24:47
	It does mean asking whether anyone will ever see God	24:50
	more clearly because they've known us.	24:55
	It does mean asking what it means to be the church	24:59
	in this place, but also part of the communion of saints	25:03
	which stretches out across time and space.	25:06
	In a few minutes, we will celebrate the Holy Eucharist.	25:11
	Through this ancient mystery, we are united with the saints,	25:16
	past, present, and future, as those who have received	25:22
	salvation and the blessings and the promises of God,	25:27
	through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.	25:33
	We are those who belong to God and who have been called	25:37
	according to God's purposes to manifest Christ in the world.	25:42
	May we live as those through whom the Son shines through.	25:48
-	The Lord be with you.	26:05
Congregation	And also with you.	26:08
-	Let us pray.	26:09
	Gracious God, whose love for us is so great that you	26:19
	permit us to receive your gifts before we understand them.	26:24
	Grant that we might this day accept the gifts of joy	26:29
	and comfort in communion with all the saints,	26:33
	trusting that they and we are united in your care.	26:38
	We cherish the memories of those who are most dear to us.	26:44
	We have faced their deaths.	26:49
	We grieve their absence from the Earth.	26:52
	We mourn their silence.	26:55
	Oh Lord, who did not permit death, even death on a cross,	26:58
	to prevent your coming to save us, do not let us fear	27:04
	the death of those we love can separate them from us	27:09
	or from you.	27:14
	Lord, in your mercy.	27:16
Congregation	Hear our prayer.	27:18
-	We give you thanks for those who have witnessed	27:20
	to the faith throughout the ages,	27:22
	for those who formed us spiritually,	27:25
	for those who were determined to teach us the truth	27:28
	that would set us free.	27:32
	We give you thanks for those who pursued justice,	27:34
	for those who established institutions of learning,	27:38
	for those whose vision could see beyond the horizon	27:42
	of their own days on Earth.	27:46
	We give you thanks for those among the saints	27:49
	who speak to us today through the words they wrote,	27:52
	the art they created, and the patterns	27:56
	of discipleship they followed.	28:00
	Oh God, to whom the faithful have born witness,	28:03
	not simply by the offering of their words and deeds,	28:07
	but also by the sacrificial giving	28:10
	of their lives in martyrdom.	28:13
	Do not let us settle for less courage than the martyrs	28:16
	of the past have shown in their devotion to you.	28:20
	Do not let us shrink from sacrifice in serving you	28:23
	with our lives.	28:27
	Lord, in your mercy.	28:29
Congregation	Hear our prayer.	28:32
-	We honor not only the saints in generations past, oh Lord,	28:33
	but we honor the saints in generations to follow.	28:38
	On this weekend observance of Children's Sabbath,	28:43
	we give you thanks for the young who have been placed	28:47
	in our midst, those of the generations to follow who will be	28:50
	your disciples into the distant future,	28:54
	those who will sing your songs and dance your praises,	28:58
	and remind those generations yet to come	29:03
	of your faithfulness and care.	29:08
	We pray for the children who suffer this day from hunger,	29:11
	from abuse, from neglect, and from the indifference of those	29:17
	in the church who fail to recognize in the children	29:24
	who know not the Lord Jesus, an opportunity to serve.	29:29
	Oh Lord, care for the young.	29:35
	Lord, in your mercy.	29:38
Congregation	Hear our prayer.	29:40
-	We recall with gratitude the lives of service	29:42
	on this campus, by students, faculty,	29:45
	and staff who have died.	29:48
	We remember their labors.	29:51
	We honor their legacy.	29:53
	We continue to mourn those who have been taken from us	29:56
	this year, whom we name now in the silence of our hearts.	29:59
	Care for their families, and for all who miss them.	30:10
	Oh God, with whom even the dead live, gather them with us	30:16
	at the mysterious table where bread and wine are the food	30:21
	of heaven, as well as the elements of Earth.	30:25
	Lord, in your mercy.	30:29
Congregation	Hear our prayer.	30:31
-	But do not let us cling merely to those among the saints	30:33
	whom we can name or number.	30:36
	We give thanks that your love redeems and eternally heals	30:40
	those who are victims of war.	30:43
	We give thanks for those who continue to labor	30:47
	in the cause of peace.	30:50
	Oh God, when the resurrection of Jesus Christ has spoken	30:53
	the word that says, death is not the end,	30:58
	speak to the people in the places of Earth	31:01
	where violence still rages.	31:04
	We pray for the people of Bosnia, Herzegovina,	31:07
	Croatia, and Serbia.	31:10
	We pray for the people of Israel and Palestine from whom	31:13
	one peacemaker has been taken.	31:18
	We pray for the gifts of peace, even where they seem	31:22
	beyond our understanding.	31:26
	Lord, in your mercy.	31:28
Congregation	Hear our prayer.	31:31
-	In communion with all the saints, in the name	31:33
	of the Father and of the Son	31:36
	and of the Holy Spirit, we pray.	31:38
	Amen.	31:41
	Now, sisters and brothers, let us rise and greet one another	31:47
	with a greeting of God's peace, the peace of the Lord	31:51
	be with you.	31:54
	Now let us be seated and offer to God our gifts.	32:17

-	Holy are you and blessed is your son, Jesus Christ.	43:18
	By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection	43:22
	you gave birth to your church, delivered us from slavery	43:25
	to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water	43:29
	and the spirit.	43:34
	On the night in which he gave himself up for us,	43:35
	he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread,	43:38
	gave it to his disciples and said, "Take, eat.	43:42
	"This is my body given for you.	43:45
	"Do this in remembrance of me."	43:48
	And when the supper was over, he took the cup,	43:51
	gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said:	43:53
	"Drink from this, all of you;	43:57
	"this is the blood of the new covenant,	43:59
	"poured out for you and for many	44:02
	"for the forgiveness of sins.	44:04
	"Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."	44:06
	And so in remembrance of these, your mighty acts,	44:11
	in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise	44:14
	and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice in union	44:18
	with Christ's offering for us as we proclaim	44:23
