Intern pastor impressed by Church’s sense of community
.
The Rev Brad M cGuire »as ai
the lone United Church o f Christ last
week. and. after some time at the
Condon Church of Christ, w ill
return to lone July 26 August 20
?
—
a summer intern at the Church.
from Pas ific School o f Religion, he
helped w ith the C hurch's Vacation
Bible Sshool last week and w ill help
w ith V k h H od
Con
don and conduct worship services
and pms k J c pastoral care w hile the
regular minister is on vacation
The internship has a different tw ist
this summer since the lone Church
is being served b> an Interim pastor,
the Res Matthew Nelson, who came
to ihe area after the Res Cathy
Barker left to accept a call at
C adillac. M ichigan He is waiting
for a permanent church and the lone
church is looking fo r a permanent
minister Nelson earned his Masters
o f D ivin ity at Pacific Shool o f
Religion, and a Bachelor o f Arts in
s«Kial work at Iowa Stale Uniscrsi
ty at Ames. Iowa lone is his first
church except for an internship serv
ed at Sunol, C alifornia
M cGuire has another year and a
half al Pacific School o f Religion
before he w ill he eligible for call He
is not sure yet lhat parish m inistry
is vchat he w ill he doing He has a
Bachelor o f Science degree from
W hrtforth College in Spokane in
both I atm American and Political
studies He spent five months travel
ing in Central America follow ing his
graduation, and says that he has con
sidered returning for a couple o f
years to write a book about refugees.
"T h a t's only in the dream stage,
th o u g h ." he is quick to add
Although you get an incredible
perspective on home when you go
away, the more I learn, the more it
seems that i f the church is to do
anything abroad, we need to stay
home and do ihe work here The
church is traditionally involved with
justice concerns It's even more im
portanl with the current economic in
ju s tic e . the farm c risis, plant

Technology and gemstones sounds like an unlikely p a ir
ing, but technology has touched the jew elry business in
ways th at affe ct you.
A com pany in Japan has found a way to m ake synthetic
diam onds for the electronics industry in a cost effective
way. Any kind of synthetic gem duplicates the natural gem
in optical and physical properties. In fact, the one im por
ta n t d ifferen ce is that a synthetic gem is created in a
laboratory rather than in the earth
What does that have to do with gemstones and jewelry?
The fact is. other synthetic gem s are also available and
have been for some tim e. There are synthetic rubies, syn
th e tic em eralds, synthetic sapphires. These are not fake
or sim ulants or substitutes. These are just like the natural
gems, except they are cultivated in a laboratory.
W h m you buy a gem, buy from a jew eler you can trust
to provide you a natural gem if you want one and are
paying the price a natural gem brings. If you are willing
to buy a synthetic gem. a reputable jew eler will work with
you at prices appropriate to synthetics. If you need an
appraisal, you need a jew ele r who knows the difference
Unless you know gemology, be sure you know your jeweler

closures, and the increasing number
or people falling below the poverty
line, that the Church responds to
these realities, he said
He was drawn to apply for the in
temship at lone and Condon, he
said, because the churches have
gained a powerful reputation as lo v
ing and teaching churches for peo
pie in the m inistry That’ s a rarity
because many churches w ill assign
an intern to one area, such as youth
ministry The character o f these con
gregations is important because the
churches can run on their own. but
members are open to our ideas,
mistakes, and experiences
And. he kept meeting people from
Condon and lone in unlikely places
He talked w ith the interns from the
last three years and each assured him
he would love the experience After
three days here. I'm in awe. not just
ihe smallness o f the town, but three
days w ith the kids has been a
w onderful experience
And the
cows- - I stop and talk to them on the
roads When you get to know them,
they have some real theological in
sighl. he said
Nelson said that the time he has
spent here has changed his point o f
view somewhat A native o f A r-
vatonna. Minnesota, he has a new
perspective on what a small town is
Before, he would not have con
sidered a rural m inistry for any
length o f time, but he now knows he
can surv ive "a t least an h o u r" away
from ihe city. " I have found the
sense o f community so strong here
It's e xcitin g,” he said, “ even with
the farm crisis and small towns get
ting smaller, lone grabs the bull by
ihe boms and runs in the opposite
direction People keep dreaming and
m oving on il They obviously love
their community and w jitl to make
sure it stays h e re ."
