SHOW UP & SHOW OUT CALL-TO-ACTION TO THE SAINT BARNABAS CHURCH FAMILY, LOVED ONES & FRIENDS TO SHOW OUR LOVE, SAINT BARNABAS STYLE🖤, TO ANTONIO JOSE GALLARDO LUCENA THE EIGHTH BISHOP OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES!
SAY HIS NAME
BISHOP ANTONIO JOSE GALLARDO LUCENA
THE SAINT BARNABAS PASADENA CHURCH FAMILY WAS WELL REPRESENTED IN THE ORDINATION AND CONSECRATION CEREMONIES OF OUR NEW BISHOP ANTONIO JOSE GALLARDO LUCENA, ALONG WITH MANY BISHOPS, DOZENS OF CLERGIES, AND HUNDREDS OF LAYS!
What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?
My subject, then, fellow-citizens, is American slavery. I shall see, this day, and its popular characteristics, from the slave’s point of view. Standing, there, identified with the American bondman, making his wrongs mine, I do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this 4th of July! Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of liberty which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery—the great sin and shame of America! “I will not equivocate; I will not excuse;”[1] I will use the severest language I can command; and yet not one word shall escape me that any man, whose judgment is not blinded by prejudice, or who is not at heart a slaveholder, shall not confess to be right and just.
But I fancy I hear some one of my audience say, it is just in this circumstance that you and your brother abolitionists fail to make a favorable impression on the public mind. Would you argue more, and denounce less, would you persuade more, and rebuke less, your cause would be much more likely to succeed. But, I submit, where all is plain there is nothing to be argued. What point in the anti-slavery creed would you have me argue? On what branch of the subject do the people of this country need light? Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man? That point is conceded already. Nobody doubts it. The slaveholders themselves acknowledge it in the enactment of laws for their government. They acknowledge it when they punish disobedience on the part of the slave. There are seventy-two crimes in the state of Virginia, which, if committed by a black man, (no matter how ignorant he be), subject him to the punishment of death; while only two of the same crimes will subject a white man to the like punishment. What is this but the acknowledgement that the slave is a moral, intellectual and responsible being? The manhood of the slave is conceded. It is admitted in the fact that Southern statute books are covered with enactments forbidding, under severe fines and penalties, the teaching of the slave to read or to write. When you can point to any such laws, in reference to the beasts of the field, then I may consent to argue the manhood of the slave. When the dogs in your streets, when the fowls of the air, when the cattle on your hills, when the fish of the sea, and the reptiles that crawl, shall be unable to distinguish the slave from a brute, then will I argue with you that the slave is a man!
For the present, it is enough to affirm the equal manhood of the Negro race. Is it not astonishing that, while we are ploughing, planting and reaping, using all kinds of mechanical tools, erecting houses, constructing bridges, building ships, working in metals of brass, iron, copper, silver and gold; that, while we are reading, writing and cyphering, acting as clerks, merchants and secretaries, having among us lawyers, doctors, ministers, poets, authors, editors, orators and teachers; that, while we are engaged in all manner of enterprises common to other men, digging gold in California, capturing the whale in the Pacific, feeding sheep and cattle on the hill-side, living, moving, acting, thinking, planning, living in families as husbands, wives and children, and, above all, confessing and worshipping the Christian’s God, and looking hopefully for life and immortality beyond the grave, we are called upon to prove that we are men!
Would you have me argue that man is entitled to liberty? that he is the rightful owner of his own body? You have already declared it. Must I argue the wrongfulness of slavery? Is that a question for Republicans? Is it to be settled by the rules of logic and argumentation, as a matter beset with great difficulty, involving a doubtful application of the principle of justice, hard to be understood? How should I look to-day, in the presence of Americans, dividing, and subdividing a discourse, to show that men have a natural right to freedom? speaking of it relatively, and positively, negatively, and affirmatively. To do so, would be to make myself ridiculous, and to offer an insult to your understanding. There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven, that does not know that slavery is wrong for him.
What, am I to argue that it is wrong to make men brutes, to rob them of their liberty, to work them without wages, to keep them ignorant of their relations to their fellow men, to beat them with sticks, to flay their flesh with the lash, to load their limbs with irons, to hunt them with dogs, to sell them at auction, to sunder their families, to knock out their teeth, to burn their flesh, to starve them into obedience and submission to their masters? Must I argue that a system thus marked with blood, and stained with pollution, is wrong? No! I will not. I have better employments for my time and strength than such arguments would imply.
What, then, remains to be argued? Is it that slavery is not divine; that God did not establish it; that our doctors of divinity are mistaken? There is blasphemy in the thought. That which is inhuman, cannot be divine! Who can reason on such a proposition? They that can, may; I cannot. The time for such argument is passed.
At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. O! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour. . . .
Take the American slave trade, which, we are told by the papers, is especially prosperous just now. . . . That trade has long since been denounced by this government, as piracy. It has been denounced with burning words, from the high places of the nation, as an execrable traffic. To arrest it, to put an end to it, this nation keeps a squadron, at immense cost, on the coast of Africa. Everywhere, in this country, it is safe to speak of this foreign slave trade, as a most inhuman traffic, opposed alike to the laws of God and of man. . . . It is, however, a notable fact that, while so much execration is poured out by Americans upon those engaged in the foreign slave trade, the men engaged in the slave trade between the states pass without condemnation, and their business is deemed honorable. . . .
But a still more inhuman, disgraceful, and scandalous state of things remains to be presented. By an act of the American Congress,[2] not yet two years old, slavery has been nationalized in its most horrible and revolting form. By that act, Mason and Dixon’s line has been obliterated; New York has become as Virginia; and the power to hold, hunt, and sell men, women, and children as slaves remains no longer a mere state institution, but is now an institution of the whole United States. The power is co-extensive with the Star-Spangled Banner and American Christianity. Where these go, may also go the merciless slave-hunter. . . . For black men there are neither law, justice, humanity, nor religion. The Fugitive Slave Law makes mercy to them a crime; and bribes the judge who tries them. An American judge gets ten dollars for every victim he consigns to slavery, and five, when he fails to do so. The oath of any two villains is sufficient, under this hell-black enactment, to send the most pious and exemplary black man into the remorseless jaws of slavery! His own testimony is nothing. He can bring no witnesses for himself. The minister of American justice is bound by the law to hear but one side; and that side, is the side of the oppressor. Let this damning fact be perpetually told. Let it be thundered around the world, that, in tyrant-killing, king-hating, people-loving, democratic, Christian America, the seats of justice are filled with judges, who hold their offices under an open and palpable bribe, and are bound, in deciding in the case of a man’s liberty, hear only his accusers! . . .
[T]he church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors. It has made itself the bulwark of American slavery, and the shield of American slave-hunters. Many of its most eloquent Divines, who stand as the very lights of the church, have shamelessly given the sanction of religion and the Bible to the whole slave system. They have taught that man may, properly, be a slave; that the relation of master and slave is ordained of God; that to send back an escaped bondman to his master is clearly the duty of all the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and this horrible blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity. . . .
Let the religious press, the pulpit, the Sunday school, the conference meeting, the great ecclesiastical, missionary, Bible and tract associations of the land array their immense powers against slavery and slaveholding; and the whole system of crime and blood would be scattered to the winds; and that they do not do this involves them in the most awful responsibility of which the mind can conceive. . . .
Fellow-citizens! I will not enlarge further on your national inconsistencies. The existence of slavery in this country brands your republicanism as a sham, your humanity as a base pretense, and your Christianity as a lie. It destroys your moral power abroad; it corrupts your politicians at home. It saps the foundation of religion; it makes your name a hissing, and a bye-word to a mocking earth. It is the antagonistic force in your government, the only thing that seriously disturbs and endangers your Union. It fetters your progress; it is the enemy of improvement, the deadly foe of education; it fosters pride; it breeds insolence; it promotes vice; it shelters crime; it is a curse to the earth that supports it; and yet, you cling to it, as if it were the sheet anchor of all your hopes. Oh! be warned! be warned! a horrible reptile is coiled up in your nation’s bosom; the venomous creature is nursing at the tender breast of your youthful republic; for the love of God, tear away, and fling from you the hideous monster, and let the weight of twenty millions crush and destroy it forever!
But it is answered in reply to all this, that precisely what I have now denounced is, in fact, guaranteed and sanctioned by the Constitution of the United States; that the right to hold and to hunt slaves is a part of that Constitution framed by the illustrious Fathers of this Republic. . . .
. . . But I differ from those who charge this baseness on the framers of the Constitution of the United States. It is a slander upon their memory, at least, so I believe. . . .
Fellow-citizens! there is no matter in respect to which, the people of the North have allowed themselves to be so ruinously imposed upon, as that of the pro-slavery character of the Constitution. In that instrument I hold there is neither warrant, license, nor sanction of the hateful thing; but, interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document. Read its preamble, consider its purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gateway? or is it in the temple? It is neither. While I do not intend to argue this question on the present occasion, let me ask, if it be not somewhat singular that, if the Constitution were intended to be, by its framers and adopters, a slave-holding instrument, why neither slavery, slave-holding, nor slave can anywhere be found in it. What would be thought of an instrument, drawn up, legally drawn up, for the purpose of entitling the city of Rochester to a track of land, in which no mention of land was made? . . .
Now, take the Constitution according to its plain reading, and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it. On the other hand it will be found to contain principles and purposes, entirely hostile to the existence of slavery. . . .
. . . Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country. There are forces in operation, which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery. “The arm of the Lord is not shortened,”[3] and the doom of slavery is certain. I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age. Nations do not now stand in the same relation to each other that they did ages ago. No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world, and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated. Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic, are distinctly heard on the other. The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved. The fiat of the Almighty, “Let there be Light,” has not yet spent its force. No abuse, no outrage whether in taste, sport or avarice, can now hide itself from the all-pervading light. The iron shoe, and crippled foot of China must be seen, in contrast with nature. Africa must rise and put on her yet unwoven garment. “Ethiopia shall stretch out her hand unto God.”[4] In the fervent aspirations of William Lloyd Garrison, I say, and let every heart join in saying it:
God speed the year of jubilee
The wide world o’er
When from their galling chains set free,
Th’ oppress’d shall vilely bend the knee,
And wear the yoke of tyranny
Like brutes no more.
That year will come, and freedom’s reign,
To man his plundered rights again
Restore. . . .[5]

Weekend Review
Manifesting God’s greatness keeps us busy!
As has been the case for more than 20 years, every 3rd Friday of the month, we prepared and served dinner with Love, Saint Barnabas Style (disguised as good ‘ol down-home cook’in meals) to our Sisters and Brothers at Union Station. The truth is we get as much from the interaction as we give! Please join us every 3rd Friday 6pm–8:30pm as we are as Maya Angelou describes, “a rainbow in the clouds”.
The Fifth Sunday After Lent – March 22, 2026 Sunday Service and Fellowship, highlighted by Brother Robert’s reflections and deeply spiritual challenge to for us ALL to meet the moment with LOVE! We also re-committed to hold loving space for our village and our church family members who were affected by the fire, AND to keeping that same energy for the long term, especially now that the Eaton fire is “old news” to the rest of the nation. Love, Saint Barnabas Style is not trendy, based on a news cycle, photo ops or a fad; it’s unconditional, eternal, everlasting, and ALWAYS.
Weekly Fire Relief Support
In the spirit of continuing our support of our village and church families devastated by the fire, please Zelle “Fire Relief” to Community@StBarnabasPasadena.org OR click here for Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/stbarnabaspasadena RIGHT NOW!

CON-FUN-MATION CLASS TONIGHT! TOPIC: ANGLICANISM “Quick Start Guide” — What makes the Episcopal Church different? Join your St. Barnabas family in a relaxed atmosphere as we learn about the sacraments, the prayer book, Anglican theology and more. This is a great opportunity for everyone — even if you were already confirmed! –to ask questions and learn about our faith tradition. Sessions take place the next 3 Wednesdays in Lent: tonight, Mar 18 & 25 at 6 PM at Gil & Courtney Hamilton’s home (729 Elmira St., Pasadena 91104) Light snacks provided. Contact Mo. Marianne with any questions, and we hope to see you there!
SUNDAY Mar 8 10 AM SERVICE! TIME CHANGE SUNDAY. Daylight savings time begins on Sunday, March 8. There are many, documented negative consequences of the “spring forward” time change, including fatal car crashes and ER visits (see below).
- In the days following the spring forward, fatal car crashes spike, as do emergency room visits, heart attacks, strokes and missed medical appointments.
- Evidence also links the switch to Daylight Saving Time to an uptick in workplace injuries and of deaths by suicide.
Long term, research suggests the twice-yearly clock change can exacerbate existing health problems-notably mood disorders like depression, bipolar and anxiety, which can be sensitive to sleep disruptions-and increase the risk of conditions like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and depression.

On this day, January 7th, and every day, the Saint Barnabas Pasadena Church Family sends ALL of our Love, Saint Barnabas Style 🖤 to those affected by the Eaton Fire, especially those in our village and of our tribe in West Altadena who continue to endure wave after wave of natural and manmade systemic crises.
Please know this, you are not alone. You walk with 103 years of Saint Barnabas Church Family transitioned heavenly angels, and 408 years of ancestors of the African Diaspora who lived in perpetual crisis mode. They, and we are with you, ALWAYS.
We were built for this.
We survive and thrive in crisis, day after day, and year after year.
We are the most resilient of all of God’s people.
Other people’s fade away.
With God, our Tribe gets stronger.
DENA STRONG

Weekend Review – The Feast of All Saints & All Souls – November 2, 2025
THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS – NOVEMBER 2, 2025
Love, Saint Barnabas Pasadena Style 🖤 to you ALL!
Every seat was filled at Saint Barnabas Pasadena on this radiant Feast of All Saints and All Souls, Sunday, November 2, 2025. The sanctuary pulsed with life as family, friends, and faithful hearts gathered once again in the place that feels like home. This was not just a service but a reunion of souls, a celebration of belonging.
Then came Sister Abbey, guiding us once again toward the heart of Christ. Her words became a bridge back to Jesus, her spirit a compass pointing home. When she speaks, the air itself feels anointed. Her preaching is what Love, Saint Barnabas Style 🖤 truly sounds like, a melody of grace, joy, and the living Spirit moving among us. (Click here to watch ===> Sunday Nov 2 restream)
In our worship we also remembered those still carrying the weight of loss from the January 7th Eaton Fire. Together we renewed our commitment to keep alive the same spirit of Love and support that poured forth from us on January 8th. Because Love, Saint Barnabas Pasadena Style 🖤 is unconditional and eternal. It does not fade with headlines, and it does not diminish with time. It is not a performance, and it is not a photo-op. It is not a passing sentiment. It is never measured by the world’s standards, by clicks or views, by likes or reposts, or by the size of a cold impersonal hall filled with anonymous strangers who need name tags. We are an “active-love“, and “plural-love” based church family. Love, Saint Barnabas Pasadena Style 🖤 is why this is God’s Home Church.
Weekly Fire Relief Support
In the spirit of continuing our support of our village and church families devastated by the fire, please Zelle “Fire Relief” to Community@StBarnabasPasadena.org OR click here for PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/stbarnabaspasadena RIGHT NOW!
Weekly Love Commitment
In an effort to normalize love, a new 2025 tradition for us is every Monday we re-commitment to LEAD with Love, Saint Barnabas Style🖤– unconditional and eternal love, which transcends race without denying it. Say it with your chest, unapologetically, ten toes’ down, standing on business, and full throated:
“I promise to LEAD with Love, Saint Barnabas Style“
