Since that is impossible, I want to attempt to share with you some of my experiences of the past few months. On May 13th Laraine Dennstaedt and I attended the Diocese of Connec- ^ ticut Assembly at St. Mark's in New Britain, CT. Laraine gave an infor- IgjB mative and enthusiastic program/workshop. The next day we were guests for W their ECW Convention with 700 in attendance. While in New York, my husband and I visited The Church of The Resurrec- k tion on 74th Street near Park Avenue where our Order began in 1885. It was the secretary's day off, but she graciously met us and gave us a tour and history of the Church. As we left the church Henry looked up and saw Buckley School, which he attended as a youngster, across the street. At the end of May I attended a three day meeting of the Council for Women's Ministries(CWM) at St. Columba Conference Center in Memphis, TN. Prior to the meeting. Daughters in the Memphis area met me at the air- port, gave a lovely luncheon at a local club, allowed me to tell my story, and delivered me to St. Columba's. I truly believe that hospitality is a gift as well as a service — Romans 12:13. What an honor to have been invited to the Presiding Bishop's Vision Conference in New Jersey. It was an interesting gathering of approximately fifty, representing many groups in the Episcopal Church. Since Bishop Browning's election, he has been listening to the Church. He shared what he has heard and his concerns. The group studied the eight "mission imperatives" that have been proposed by the Ex ecutive Council of the Episcopal Church and staff. This may be a first in our 102 year history that we were included in such a meeting. I know you share with me in expressing gratitude to Bishop Browning for including the Daughters of the King. I have just returned from the North American Congress on the Holy Spirit and World Evangelization held in New Orleans, LA., in July. There were over 40,000 in attendance. The Roman Catholics had the largest number, 14,000, and the Episcopalians were next with 2,500. The Episcopalians began each day with the Holy Eucharist followed by several excellent speakers. We attended two workshops each after noon, and in the evenings all forty plus denominations gathered in the Super Dome for an ecumenical worship service. The message of this conference was unmistakeably clear - Our Lord Jesus wants us to repent — to be empowered by His Holy Spirit so that we might do the work He has called us to do,"For His Sake" — Lord, what will you have me do? I love you all, "For His Sake" ~e^e/ The following was submitted by invitation for a booklet: THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE 1990'S, EXPECTATION FOR A NEW DECADE published by Episcopal Renewal Ministries for the North American Congress on the Holy Spirit and World Evangelization held in New Orleans, LA. July 22-26, 1987.

  • The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh the Search for the Eighth Bishop Diocesan 2011 Diocesan Profile Welcome!
    The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh The Search for the Eighth Bishop Diocesan 2011 Diocesan Profile Welcome! The Search/Nominating Committee and the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh of the Episcopal Church prayerfully offer this profile in hope that persons considering a call to be bishop of our diocese, or persons considering submitting the name of a potential candidate, will learn about us and our values, experiences, hopes, and what we discern to be God’s will. Our last decade has been a decade of challenge. The challenge is not yet over but we are confident that God has a plan and, even now, has identified a person who is fit to lead us in our next chapter of growth and rebuilding. As we spoke with members of the diocese in their parishes, we heard their sense of optimism and hope. As we prayed together as a committee and studied the responses to our surveys, the way forward has become clearer to us and, we hope, to those of you who may discern a call to respond. We hope that this profile gives you a snapshot of our Vibrant Episcopal Communities United in Christ and the wonderful region of the country in which we live and work. The Search/Nominating Committee will receive names from August 15 to September 30, 2011. Instructions for submitting names may be found at the end of this profile. Our recommendations for a slate of nominees will be submitted to the Standing Committee before January 15, 2012. Following the publication of that slate, there will be a three-week period for nomination by petition before the slate is final.

  • Interview with John L
    Interview with John L. Harrison, Jr., Esquire, by Clark Groome, for the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania Oral History Project, North Wales, Pennsylvania, November 14, 2013. CLARK GROOME: All right. You grew up as an Episcopalian? JOHN HARRISON: Yes. CG: And where did you start your life as an Episcopalian? JH: I lived in Bryn Mawr when I was born, and my family went to the Church of the Redeemer, and I was baptized there, probably in 1936, by the then rector, Canon Earp. CG: E-A-R-P? JH: E-A-R-P. CG: Okay. And then, as a kid, were you active in the church? JH: Not really. I would say that my family were people that went to church when there was a family funeral, or a wedding. And I didn’t really become very active, although by the time I was ten or twelve years old my mother thought that my brother and I should go to Sunday school wherever we lived. And typically we would be taken and left and picked up later. CG: Right. And you were confirmed, I assume? JH: I was confirmed in, I think, 1949, at the Church of the Redeemer in Bryn Mawr. Excuse me—at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd. Roughly, then—I could get the exact dates, if that’s important. CG: I think maybe you have. I think you may have given them to me. It’s not important. JH: But at that particular point in my growing up, we were living in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, and we went to church, by then, fairly regularly, at the Church of the Messiah in Gwynedd, where my HARRISON 2 parents had been married in 1934.

  • The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr
    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions

  • Profile of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Nominating Committee
    Profile of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Nominating Committee for the IX Bishop of Pittsburgh October 2020 15 October 2020 Dear Friends in Christ, On behalf of the Nominating Committee of the IX Bishop of Pittsburgh, I invite your consideration of our diocesan profile and extend thanks to all those across our diocese whose input through our survey, parish conversations, and leadership and ministry focus groups made this possible. The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh is fertile ground for ministry. We seek a bishop who embraces the challenges facing the Church and our diocese, an articulate, visionary leader, and a faithful pastor to the wide array of congre- gants who comprise our diocese. In some ways this profile was difficult to write, as the sense of the diocese and region is understood through its many dichotomies. While we have large, flourishing urban and suburban parishes, we also have small rural parishes that are struggling by certain measures. We are a region that was built through the influx of immigration and internal migration, but have not fully embraced the immigrants of the 21st century. We have a blue-collar, industrial history, but have thriving arts, technology, education, and healthcare industries. We are one of the nation’s “most livable” metropolitan regions, yet disparities of income, opportunity, and life expectancy are very pronounced among racial groups. We have endured schism, yet we are united by our commitment to remain one holy, catholic and apostolic Church. Our next bishop will flourish in the tensions that these dichotomies create and lead us to realize the potential we have to grow as a vibrant Christian commu- nity, equipped to serve God’s people.

  • Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church
    Peace Notes Prince of Peace Anglican Church May 2016 New Bishop Elected – The Rev. Jim Hobby Following a five month discernment journey after Archbishop Duncan's retirement announcement at Diocesan Convention in November, the Rev. James Hobby was elected by a majority of deputies at a Special Convention of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh to serve as the next bishop of Pittsburgh. The election is subject to confirmation by the College of Bishops meeting in June 20-23, 2016. The Rev. James Hobby is currently serving as the rector of Trinity Anglican Church in Thomasville, GA. "The Standing Committee would like to honor Archbishop Duncan, and we look forward to celebrating his ministry among us," said the Rev. Paul Cooper, Standing Committee President. "God provided the leadership that Pittsburgh needed in the person of Robert Duncan, and we expect an unprecedented outpouring of gratitude and thanksgiving in the months ahead." The journey to get this point involved a decentralized discernment and nominating process where the Diocesan Standing Committee opened the doors for communication, prayer and discernment among the districts. Diocesan districts met and produced nominees for election, held over the weekend (April 22-23, 2016) at St. Stephen's Church, Sewickley. A slate of eight Nominees who were willing to stand for election to be the Next Bishop of Pittsburgh were announced on March 7, 2016. Three Nominees asked to be withdrawn from consideration, leaving five Nominees who were set to appear on the ballot at the Special Convention. >>> "The Standing Committee is grateful for the prayerful manner and approach the diocese took to bring us to the election of our next bishop," said Cooper.
