  • 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.

  • September 2016 Vol. XXXVIII No. 9 Dear Oblates and Friends Of
    September 2016 Vol. XXXVIII No. 9 Dear Oblates and Friends of Portsmouth, During the summer one of the gospels focused on the question posed of Jesus on the not so obvious question of who is my neighbor, of crucial importance since the whole of the Mosaic Law can be summed up in the two great commandments: love of God and love of neighbor. If we are not clear on this latter point, there is something seriously lacking in our fulfillment of the love of God. We have heard the parable of the Good Samaritan so often that it is hard to think of him as fictitious and a means of clarifying a key doctrine of Christianity and even of humanity, a truly universal teaching embracing all mankind. In the first place, it is important to note where the focus lies: it is not on the victim and on how we should treat those in direst need, but rather on the definition of neighbor and the erroneous concept of those who observed the law, without appreciating its narrow limitations when confronted with the situation described in the parable: a man in danger of death from having been robbed, injured and left abandoned on the roadside. He is ignored by the official representatives of the Jewish religion for whom it would be contaminating to touch what could be a corpse, and therefore against their law. Only the Samaritan, a person looked down upon by the Jews as a foe and not much better than a pagan, one who was outside the Law; only is he the one to extend help on a rather lavish scale, dressing his wounds, putting him up at a nearby inn, and promising to return to pay for the cost for the further care of the victim.

  • Sacred Presence in the English New World
    Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) Jamestown’s Relics: Sacred Presence in the English New World Christopher M.B. Allison Fig. 1 Reliquary in situ, sitting above the coffin detritus in the grave identified as that of Captain Gabriel Archer. Image courtesy of Jamestown Rediscovery (Historic Jamestowne). In the harsh winter of 1609-1610, settlers at Jamestown placed a small silver case with a slide opening etched with a single letter ─ M ─ carefully on top of a white oak coffin and then covered it with the hard, cold dirt of the New World. Inside the silver encasing were seven bone fragments and two lead ampulae filled with water, oil, dirt, or blood─relics of an unknown saint or saints that came to rest in Virginia. The settlers placed these on top of a coffin, a box filled with the corpse of a deceased English colonist. When the news broke in 2015 that archaeologists had uncovered a reliquary in James- town, some authors intimated that it would force us to reconsider the history of early America anew.1 Others suggested that the public and those involved in archaeological findings should know better, that the religious diversity among early settlers had long been established in the scholarship.2 Both perspectives have some validity, but the dis- covery demonstrates that our greatest insights and questions can come from the ground. The reliquary’s preeminent value—and why it deserves to be considered as remarkable— is as a material source that raises new questions and helps us imagine new possibilities around the earliest English settlement in North America.

  • Saint Margaret Ward
    Saint Margaret Ward SAINT OF THE DAY 30-08-2021 Saint Margaret Ward (c. 1550 - 1588), called “the pearl of Tyburn”, held the Catholic faith as her most precious treasure. She suffered martyrdom during the persecutions of Elizabeth I Tudor, daughter of the schismatic Henry VIII. She is part of the group of the “Forty Holy Martyrs of England and Wales”, religious and lay people, men and women of different social backgrounds who loved Christ more than their lives and went to Heaven at different dates and times (between 1535 and 1679, starting with the protomartyrs under Henry VIII): Paul VI canonised them all together on 25 October 1970. It should be added that this group of martyrs is only a small number of the saints and blessed killed in odium fidei following the Anglican Schism. Margaret was born in Congleton into a distinguished English family. As a married woman she lived in London in the service of a lady of the high nobility, as her companion. She learned of the harsh mistreatment of Father Richard Watson, imprisoned in Bridewell prison, near the Thames. Exhausted by torture, the priest had at a certain point yielded and accepted to participate in a Protestant function to obtain his release. But then he regretted it, once again professing the Catholic faith and was sent back to prison. Margaret went several times to visit Father Watson to bring him comfort. One day she hid a rope inside a basket and gave it to the prisoner. During his hasty escape, Father Watson was injured and left the rope hanging out of the window.
