  • Matt's Missive
    Matt’s Missive April 2021 Iona Update By Barbara Duffield Friends, this year is flying by in some ways. It feels like I just said I was beginning my first class of my second year in IONA, and here we are approaching the end. It seems an appropriate time to offer a summary of where things are currently. First, for those who are unfamiliar with the journey I am on, I am what is called a postulant in study for Holy Orders to the Priesthood, in a diocesan program called Bi-Vocational Priesthood. I am a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator in my “regular” life. That will not change, but once I am ordained, God willing, I will be able to serve in situations requiring a priest, both in my life in the Diocese of West Texas and in my work life. I was sent to this opportunity by my St. Matthew’s family, and approved by Bishop David Reed and the diocesan Discernment Committee. I am offered the opportunity to practice skills such as preaching, pastoral care, and other duties; learning how it might be done as a priest as opposed to a lay person. Fr. Tim has been extremely generous with his time, helping me to find my bearings in this new role. Part of my training was to be completed at another parish but was not possible due to the Covid landscape. As the danger of Covid lessens, it may still occur. To this point, I have classes the first weekend in May and June, and then will have a break over the summer until early September.

Since that time, the Diocese of Texas has been made up of the 57 counties of southeast and east Texas, viz: that portion of the State of Texas lying south of the northern line of the counties of Lampasas, Coryell, McLennan, Limestone, Freestone, Anderson, Smith, Gregg, and Marion, and east of the western line of the counties of Matagorda, Colorado, Fayette, Bastrop, Travis, Burnet, and Lampasas.

  • Gift Ideas from Friends Of
    Gift Ideas from Friends of TLC 2013 Jon Adamson I can’t recommend highly enough John Behr’s Becoming Human: Medi- tations on Christian Anthropology in Word and Image (St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press, 2013). It presents short meditations by the dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary. We become human, in Christ, by our obedience in saying “Let it be” to our own deaths. And a second choice for young children: a richly illustrated story, The Monk Who Grew Prayer (Conciliar Press, 2003) by Claire Brandenburg, follows a hermit in the wilderness during his daily tasks. Along the way, children learn the Jesus Prayer and the significance of the Liturgy of the Hours. At once contemplative and engaging, it makes an ideal bedtime story followed by Compline. Jon Adamson is the administrator of the Diocese of Northern Indiana. A.K.M. Adam The Little World of Don Camillo (Benediction Books, 2009) is the first of the series of novels by Giovanni Guareschi. Don Camillo opened to me an early sense of the possibility of the presence of Christ; he upholds the Church’s sense of moral authority and pastoral wisdom, while (reluctantly) accommodating the ethical challenge pre- sented by his adversary Peppone, the communist mayor of his village. Paddle-to-the-Sea (Houghton Mifflin, 1941) by Holling Clancy Holling touches a deep part of my heart. I’d be cautious about its rep- resentation of the indigenous people of North America, but the story is of a carved canoe that — without anthropomorphizing its subject — undergoes adventures, danger, renewal, and ultimately attains its goal.

Main Street Ph: (830) 249-3228 ~ Fx: (830) 249-1812 ~ Preschool: (830) 249-8084 Words from the Soul(e) Is it hot enough for you?! Perhaps that’s a silly question as we shift into sur- vival mode through these hottest days of summer. But even as we find our- selves inside more often than out, and push our A/C units to the test, there’s something I want to make sure you’re celebrating about our present “hot” condition. No, I’m not tickled that temperatures outside have been at or around 100 degrees for the last two weeks. I am, however, ECSTATIC that the life and ministries at St. Helena’s seem even hotter as we prepare for our next year together. That’s right, I celebrated my one year anniversary as part of the St. Helena’s family just a few weeks ago, and I am truly excited as I look forward to the coming weeks and months. Over the last year, a great deal of what I have personally been involved with is learning who our family is so that I can be the best priest possible in your midst. The perspective I have gained through prayer and observation has blessed me both to get to know and love each of you, as well as gaining the beginnings of a vision for our moving forward together. Many, if not all of you, have caught a glimpse of that vision over the last few months.

  • The Certain Trumpet (Fall 2012)
    THE CERTAIN TRUMPET Fall 2012 – Wallace Spaulding, Editor Weak Conservative Reaction To Episcopal Church’s Approval Of Same-Sex Blessing Rites Back in May 2011, I wrote the following letter to The Living Church (which published the letter in its May 22, 2011, edition): Good grief! You let the story go by of the church wide meeting to develop a liturgy for blessing same-sex unions (TLC, April 10) without an editorial comment. To endorse such sin officially not only goes against traditional Christian (Roman, Orthodox, conservative Protestant) practice, but (for you liberals) Islam and Judaism as well. As bad as the subject matter involved is the methodology used. For a tiny group like the Episcopal Church (some two million out of two billion Christians) to feel itself competent to make such an important change unilaterally is simply preposterous. Now it has happened: the July 2012 General Convention (GC) of The Episcopal Church (TEC), meeting in Indianapolis, approved provisional rites to bless same-sex relationships. One might have thought that there would be much screaming and jumping up and down among moral conservatives still in TEC. That there wasn’t implies that the number of conservatives remaining in TEC is quite small - many of their brethren having already left - and/or that TEC conservatives are demoralized by the overwhelming majority that supported the measure; it was approved by votes of 111 to 41 in the House of Bishops and 171 to 41 in the House of Deputies. The conservative response was as follows: 1. The morning of July 11: Under the auspices of the morally-straight Communion Partners (CP), their leader, Bishop Michael Smith (ND), issued in the House of Bishops an Indianapolis Statement opposing the homosexual blessing rites resolution (A049).
