In that spirit, more than 200 Lutheran ministers from across the country, including 33 bishops, visited churches in the New York region during the weekend to pray with the faithful who are still coming to terms with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The Rev. James Bleakly, also of the Central Illinois Synod, preached a sermon on the Lord's peace and mercy. "God has trusted us with this great test," said Bleakly, tying the Gospel reading's call for faith and forgiveness to the Sept. 11 terrorism. Grace Lutheran was one of 14 churches in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties visited by Lutheran clergy.

The participation of half of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's bishops is designed to give Lutherans nationwide a connection to New York and Ground Zero. Freiheit, who visited St. Paul's Episcopal Church near Ground Zero on Saturday, said the solidarity tour was designed to praise local Lutheran clergy members for their relief work. Those efforts included assistance and counseling to more than 2,000 people through the Lutheran Disaster Re- sponse of New York relief agency. Freiheit said the solidarity tour would help him share New York's trauma with his flock.

"In the Midwest, we're so far removed from the East Coast, we tend to forget the grieving that still continues," said Freiheit, adding that the visiting bishops' impressions would be shared in their regions through sermons, newsletters and assemblies. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's New York Synod includes 228 churches from Staten Island through the Hudson Valley. The Rev. Timothy Kennedy, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, said his congregation was thankful for the denomination's gesture. "Several members expressed appreciation that the church would make an effort like this," said Kennedy, adding that visits by bishops are rare.

Grace Lutheran member George Simpson said the timing of the bishop's visit was good. "We could have gotten him in October or November, but the perspective wasn't there," Simpson said. Simpson said the Sept. 11 attacks were particularly difficult for his church because some of its members worked in the World Trade Center. Reach Ernie Garcia at or 914-966-4004.

WHAT'S IN A NAME Nauraushaun hamlet all but a memory Community doesn't officially exist today, but its name lives on Julienne Marshall Special to The Journal News Nauraushaun, the hamlet, was officially voted out of existence in 1950, but the 2- to 3-square-mile area that is part of Pearl River is steeped in Rockland history and is still known by its Native American name. Congers' Robert Knight, a Clarkstown historian who was born and raised in Pearl River, said Nauraushaun lost its status when residents of the Nauraushaun and Pearl River school districts voted to merge, and Nauraushaun "ceased to exist in any legal sense." Originally known as Orangeville, then Orangeville Mills, and still later Van Houten's Mills after the property was bought by that family in 1812, the area eventually ended up with the name of Nauraushaun, by the early 1900s. Those early names came from the three or four grist and saw mills on the Nauraushaun Creek and on the Hackensack River that runs behind Van Houten Farms, said Knight, who talks about Nauraushaun's early days at length in his book, "Centennial History of Pearl River, New York." Norman W. Alpert's "Place Names in Rockland: A Genealogy of the County," refers to the name Nauraushaun meaning a promontory, or a high point. Nauraushaun has been known by many variations: Nauranshaw Brook, Nawasunck Lands, Nar- 694-5147.
