  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • The Credo the Rt
    The Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic States Of the Anglican Catholic Church The credo The Rt. Rev’d D. Francis Lerow, Managing Editor The Rev’d Fr. T.L. Crowder, Content Editor Ember Wednesday in Advent 16 December, A.D. 2015 The Crozier The Right Rev’d D. Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary The Way of Holiness Now that we have made our way from Advent to the Nativity we are challenged as to what to do with this baby. Of course we know from Scripture that the world would not receive Him. Though there were stars in the East, Wise Men bearing gifts and all of heaven looking down upon us, the world turned its back as if this was just any child born into the world. But here we have it “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Wow! God was born into the world in the flesh. That is just like you and me. He comes with a heart, ten fingers and ten toes and even hair. He was born into the cold night of Winter with no heater to keep Him warm, only a loving mother with some swaddling clothes. As I think about it I am amazed of how much He was like us, and yet comes to us with the fullness of grace and truth. I suspect grace means He comes in the “uncreated energy of God.” That is a forceful, never-ending compassion and love that redeems the soul. His truth is that which assures us that He will live up to His promises.

  • A Public Service of Healing
    A Public Service of Healing The Feast of Channing Moore Williams Bishop and Missionary, 1910 December 2, 2020 The Word of God Presider: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. People: And also with you. Let us pray. After a period of silence, the Minister then says the following Collects. Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come here seeking your healing grace for themselves and for others. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, who in your providence called Channing Moore Williams to the ministry of this church and gave him the gifts and the perseverance to preach the Gospel in new lands: Inspire us, by his example and prayers, to commit our talents to your service, confident that you uphold those whom you call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Epistle Acts 1:1-9 In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

  • Richard Faries Fonds
    Richard Faries fonds 1893-1950 20 cm. of textual records Biographical Sketch Ven. Richard Faries, D.D., Archdeacon, Church of England. Born at Rupert's House, James Bay, Quebec, 30 Aug. 1870.

  • Archdeacon Thomas Vincent of Moosonee and the Handicap of "Metis" Racial Status
    ARCHDEACON THOMAS VINCENT OF MOOSONEE AND THE HANDICAP OF "METIS" RACIAL STATUS JOHN S. LONG, P.O. Box 334, Moosonee, Ontario, Canada, P0L 1Y0. ABSTRACT/RESUME Through its policy of Native Agency, the Church Missionary Society sought to further the rapid spreading of Christianity throughout the entire non- Christian world. The Society's European agents were supposed to be mere catalysts, who would soon be replaced by Native agents. Mission centres were intended to become self-supporting so that Society funds could be transferred elsewhere. The case of Archdeacon Thomas Vincent of Moosonee illustrates one of the difficulties of implementing these policies in the James Bay region, where men of mixed race were considered unfit to succeed their European tutors. Au moyen de son principe de "Native Agency", la Church Missionary Society cherchait à favoriser la propagation rapide du message chrétien à travers le monde paien. Les agents européens de la Société devaient se limiter à un rôle de catalyseurs dans leur mission. En principe, ils devaient se faire remplacer bientôt après leur installation par des agents autochtones. Il était convenu aussi que les centres missionnaries de la Société deviendraient financièrement indépendants au plus tôt après leur fondation, afin que les ressources de la Société 'ainsi libérées puissent être appliquées ailleurs. Le cas de l'archidiacre Thomas Vincent de Moosonee illustre bien une des difficultés de réaliser cet idéal dans la région de la baie James, où la population métisse était jugée incapable de succéder à ses directeurs européens. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES III, 1(1983): 95-116 96 JOHN S.

  • The Church Missionary Society and the Rossville Lmission Press
    The Church Missionary Society and the Rossville lMission Press Joyce M. Bankst There is a wonderful anachronism in the English Bible which provides a most fitting introduction to any consideration of the history of missionary printing, and particularly to the study of the missionary field press in Rupert's Land. It is taken from one of Job's laments: Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever! Job 19:23-24. An iron pen is a splendid metaphor for the printing press, and graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever clearly reflects the aims of the missionary printer, who strove to make an indelible impression. For the Wesleyans and the Anglicans, printing was at work on two levels in Rupert's Land: to achieve the transmission of the scriptures to the aboriginal peoples; and to entrench the syllabic system for a literate society. In 1853 and I854 an attempt was made by the Church Missionary Society to gain control of the Rossville Mission in the Hudson's Bay Company terrtories. Established by the Wesleyan Missionary Soci- ety in 1840, the Rossville Mission was the best situated of any mission in Rupert's Land. At the very hub of the Hudson's Bay Company transportation system, I it was located at the head of Lake Winnipeg, a few miles from Norway House, which was the mar- shalling point for the great Rupert's Land fur and freight brigades.

  • Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada – History and Contemporary Developments by Nadine C
    Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada – History and Contemporary Developments by Nadine C. Fabbi, Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, Seattle. The author would like to thank Heather Campbell, Language and Culture Coordinator, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami; Toni White and Catharyn Andersen from the Torngâsok Cultural Centre, Nunatsiavut; and Jay Arnakak, Qikiqtani Inuit Association, Nunavut for their expert advice. Written for the Arctic Indigenous Languages Symposium, Sustainable Development Working Group, Arctic Council, coordinated by the Inuit Circumpolar Council (Canada), and hosted by the Saami Council, Norway, October 2008, www.arcticlanguages.com. Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity and ancestry. Preserving endangered languages is a vital part of securing the culture and heritage of our rich human landscape. Language keeps traditions alive, it inspires knowledge and respect about our past and the planet on which we live, and it links communities across borders and beyond time. Quoted from the United Nations web site “The UN Works for Cultural Diversity: Endangered Languages” The scientific community has warned that such historical assimilation campaigns—combined with declining Indigenous populations, increased mobility, economic pressures, as well as exposure to television and other communications technologies—could lead to the loss of half of the world’s 6,000 to 7,000 languages by 2050. With such a decline, they warn, will come the demise of local knowledge, mentalities, creativity and heritage, as well as specialized information such as unique survival skills and traditional medicines. from Canada World View, Fall 2004 Language is a cultural mosaic of communication.

    Purveyors of “religion, morality, and industry”: Race, Status, and the Roles of Missionary Wives in the Church Missionary Society’s North-West America Mission DEREK WHITEHOUSE-STRONG* The Church Missionary Society (CMS) and its missionaries held that, regardless of race, the wives of CMS agents could facilitate the Society’s work in the Canadian mission field. The Society also maintained, however, that the Native wives of CMS agents in Canada possessed advantages over their European-born counter- parts, including hardier physical constitutions and ties of kinship, culture, and language to local Aboriginal populations. Nevertheless, because prejudices and axioms rooted in racial assumptions governed the attitudes of European-born individuals towards those of Aboriginal ancestry, many contemporaries doubted the ability of Native women to overcome what were considered to be racially inherent weaknesses and to embrace and project the core essential values and ideals deemed necessary of middle-class missionary wives. La Church Missionary Society (CMS) est ses missionnaires jugeaient qu’inde´pen- damment de la race, les e´pouses des agents de la CMS pouvaient faciliter le travail de mission de la CMS au Canada. La CMS estimait e´galement que les femmes autochtones de ses agents au Canada posse´daient des atouts que n’avaient pas leurs homologues ne´es en Europe, dont leur physique plus robuste et leurs liens parentaux, culturels et linguistiques avec les populations autochtones. Quoiqu’il en soit, comme les pre´juge´s et les axiomes ancre´s dans les a` priori raciaux gouvernaient les attitudes des personnes ne´es en Europe envers la population d’ascendance autochtone, de nombreux contemporains doutaient de la capacite´ des femmes autochtones de pallier ce que d’aucuns qualifiaient de faiblesses * Derek Whitehouse-Strong received his PhD in History from the University of Manitoba (2004).

  • The Architectural and Historical Significance of All Saints’, Warrenton, NC Prepared by the Rev
    Photo taken May 30, 2019 The Architectural and Historical Significance of All Saints’, Warrenton, NC Prepared by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Graebner Historiographer, Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina May 1, 2019 I. The Notable African American Episcopal Heritage of Warren County Warren County can lay claim to being the birthplace of some of the great African American leaders of the Episcopal Church. The first is Caroline Wiley Cain Bragg, born in Warrenton in 1804, who as an enslaved member of the Thomas White family was brought to be baptized at Emmanuel Church, Warrenton. Caroline Bragg would eventually move to Petersburg, Virginia, where she would be instrumental in the founding of St. Stephen’s, the first black Episcopal church and a center for ministry throughout southern Virginia. Her grandson, the Rev. George Freeman Bragg, was born and baptized in Warrenton before going to live with his grandmother in Petersburg. He would become the leading historian of the black Episcopal Church and rector of St. James’, Baltimore, where the current Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, would be one of his successors. [Bragg’s feast day in our calendar of saints is August 3.] 2 Another prominent Warren County native, and another grandson of Caroline Bragg, was the Rev. Thomas White Cain, the first black candidate for Holy Orders in Virginia. He served the oldest black church in Texas--St. Augustine of Hippo Episcopal Church in Galveston—and represented the Diocese of Texas in the national General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Thomas Cain perished in the historic Galveston storm of 1900, and the current All Saints’ church building was constructed as a memorial to him.
