  • Anglican-Orthodox Relations a Dead-End Or a Way Forward?
    1 Anglican-Orthodox Relations A Dead-End or a Way Forward? By Dimitris Salapatas This article was published in KOINONIA, The Journal of the Anglican and Eastern Churches Association, New Series, No.63, Ascensiontide 2014, pp. 15-31. Relations between the Orthodox Church and the Anglican Communion have been an ongoing phenomenon since the 17th century. However, the 20th century has taken the relations to a new level, resulting in the establishment of the Official Dialogue between the two churches. This century will be known as the Age of Ecumenism, “the age in which Christians of all denominations became aware of the scandal of disunion, and attempted to do something to bring it to an end.”1 We live in a globalised, digital world and epoch; it is inevitable that this would have affected the relations between the churches on a global level, taking us away from the past, isolated state within which the churches and the people existed. It is crucial to understand why this has happened now, i.e. the dialogue between Eastern and Western Christianity, whether it is a dead-end or a way forward for all of Christianity. The number of Anglican-Orthodox groups which exist, primarily in the West, and more specifically in Britain, have contributed immensely towards the establishment of the current dialogue. The first group to be founded in Britain was “The Association for the Promotion of the Unity of Christendom”2 which was founded in 1857, whilst the Eastern Church Association came into being in 1864. The E.C.A.’s purpose was to “inform Anglicans

Cooper, then Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. On Pentecost Sunday, 1982, The Rev. Cooper suggested that retired residents of Ponte Vedra Beach had no community in the area where they could live in security, dignity and have the resort lifestyle to which they had become accustomed . That vision has now been realized as evidenced by the growth of Vicar'sLanding and more recently, Glenmoor in World Golf Village near St. Augustine, FL. Both Glenmoor and Vicar's Landing are setting new standards for what life care can be. The elegant residences, both apartments and homes, are nestled on spacious landscaped grounds in lovely resort settings. Each campus was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. With all the amenities, activities and services, the pleasures and privileges of retirement at its very best are evident every day. Because of the vision of 1982, you can experience this lifestyle now.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • Archbishop John Mcdowell
    Diocese of Armagh Diocesan Cycle of Prayer 2020 (incorporating Anglican Cycle of Prayer) Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. (Ephesians 6:18) Paul reminds the Christians in Ephesus to pray for all the Lord’s people, advice which is as relevant in today’s church as it was then. When we pray, use this cycle of prayer as a guide; remembering all those in each parish, and praying for God’s blessing and guidance for all. The church is much bigger than the clergy and readers named in each parish, and our prayers should reflect the effort and work of all those who minister in any way in our churches. We welcome those who have joined us as clergy and readers, and wish God’s blessing to those who have retired or left for pastures new. We have also included Holy Days on the Sunday on which they occur. Those that occur during the week are shown in brackets on the Sunday during which week they occur. The prayers for the Anglican Communion are adapted from ‘The Anglican Cycle of Prayer 2020’. Due to the constant changes in posts held throughout the world-wide church, almost any publication can be out of date even before it is published. The posts held by individuals mentioned in this publication are correct as of published date. Please accept my apologies for any errors or omissions. Your comments, suggestions, updates and prayers are welcomed as we seek to improve this important aspect of our Common Prayer.
