Ordination & Consecration of Bishops Rejoice! Ordination & Consecration of Bishops Saturday, May 15, 2010 The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Welcome and Rejoice! Thank you for your presence today as we come together to participate in and celebrate the ordination and consecration of two new bishops of the Church. The ordination and consecration of bishops is an ancient and sacred rite. It is an affirmation of the call each of us is invited to live into. It was forged on the cross, glorified in the resurrection and called into action at Pentecost. This call to ministry is continually renewed through each of us fully embracing and living into our baptismal covenant. We are grateful to our Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, who will be the chief consecrator at our service today. We are thankful as well for the presence of our fellow bishops, ecumenical and civic leaders, clergy, officials of our church, members of the church especially those from the dioceses of Los Angeles and Maryland, viewers via our webcast, and those of the general public who have come to witness this historic service. We especially give thanks for all members of our families, our friends and colleagues who have walked with us and brought us to this day. As the day unfolds we invite you to pause, and notice the various characteristics of this church which comprise the mosaic of our dynamic diocese. This mosaic of our shared ministry is blessed with diversity. It is a mosaic of ministry created by many gifts and skills, an expression that is not limited to one individual, personality, race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, age, language, perspective or other sole characteristic. Together in this Christian community we call on one another to faithfulness as we live out, in service to our Lord, our baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people, and to respect the dignity of every human being. May the new chapter of ministry beginning today be for all of us a rich and fulfilling experience that glorifies God and unites us through the Holy Spirit. Yours in Christ, J.

Representatives of the diocese, both Priests and Lay Persons, standing before the Presiding Bishop, present the bishops-elect, saying Katharine, Bishop in the Church of God, the clergy and people of the Diocese of Los Angeles, trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, have chosen Diane Jardine Bruce and Mary Douglas Glasspool each to be a bishop and chief pastor. We therefore ask you to lay your hands upon them and in the power of the Holy Spirit to consecrate them bishops in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. The Presiding Bishop then directs that testimonials of the elections be read. Certificate of Election The Secretary of Convention, Canon M. Janet Wylie Canonical Testimony The Diocesan Chancellor, Canon John R. Shiner 4 Evidence of Ordination The Co-Chairs of the Commission on Ministry, The Reverend Canon Michael Bamberger and Canon James White Consents of Standing Committees The President of the Standing Committee, The Reverend Canon Cindy Evans Voorhees Consents of Bishops The Right Reverend Barbara C. Harris When the reading of the testimonials is ended, the Presiding Bishop requires the following promise from the Bishops-elect In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I, Diane Jardine Bruce, chosen Bishop of the Church in Los Angeles, solemnly declare that I do believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, and to contain all things necessary to salvation; and I do solemnly engage to conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I, Mary Douglas Glasspool, chosen Bishop of the Church in Los Angeles, solemnly declare that I do believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, and to contain all things necessary to salvation; and I do solemnly engage to conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church. The Bishops-elect then sign the above Declaration in the sight of all present. The witnesses add their signatures. All stand. The Presiding Bishop then says the following, or similar words, and asks the response of the people Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, you have heard testimony given that Diane Jardine Bruce and Mary Douglas Glasspool have been duly and lawfully elected to be bishops of the Church of God to serve in the Diocese of Los Angeles. You have been assured of their suitability and that the Church has approved them for this sacred responsibility. Nevertheless, if any of you know any reason why we should not proceed, let it now be made known. If no objection is made, the Presiding Bishop continues Is it your will that we ordain Diane and Mary bishops? 5 The People respond in these or other words That is our will. Presiding Bishop Will you uphold Diane and Mary as bishops? The People respond in these or other words We will. The Presiding Bishop then says The Scriptures tell us that our Savior Christ spent the whole night in prayer before he chose and sent forth his twelve apostles. Likewise, the apostles prayed before they appointed Matthias to be one of their number. Let us, therefore, follow their examples, and offer our prayers to Almighty God before we ordain Diane and Mary for the work to which we trust the Holy Spirit has called them. The People may sit as the Litanist leads the Litany for Ordinations. F The Litany for Ordinations God the Father, Have mercy on us. God the Son, Have mercy on us. God the Holy Spirit, Have mercy on us. Holy Trinity, one God, Have mercy on us. We pray to you, Lord Christ. Lord, hear our prayer. For the holy Church of God, that it may be filled with truth and love, and be found without fault at the Day of your Coming, we pray to you, O Lord.

    John S. Cummins VATICAN II BISHOP OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, 1977-2003 Interviews conducted 2014-2015 by Germaine LaBerge A Donated Oral History Copyright © 2018 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The audio recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Bishop John S. Cummins dated February 22, 2015. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. Excerpts up to 1000 words from this interview may be quoted for publication without seeking permission as long as the use is non-commercial and properly cited.

  • History of St. Chrysostom's Would Be Complete Without Paying Tribute to Frederick Spalding
    The History of St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church HISTORY OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM’S CHURCH CHAPTER 1 Thaddeus A. Snively: First Years of the Parish, 1893-1907 Sunday, January 15, 1893. "CROWDED AND COLD. Marked Characteristics of Nearly All Street-Cars," read the lead story in that day's Chicago Tribune. "TRIALS OF WEST-SIDERS. The Early Morning Service Declared To Be Wretched. NORTH SIDE NO BETTER OFF. Even the South Side Lines Are Said To Be Falling from Grace." The poor service must have been a particular hardship during the previous days; a cold spell had gripped the city and the entire eastern third of the country for most of the preceding week, with Chicago temperatures reaching -12 by midnight on the 14th (they would drop to -16 for several hours early Sunday morning before moderating later in the day). Chicagoans suffering from the extreme weather could plan to purchase on the following day, according to their budgets, real mink capes at $25.00, astrakhan fur reefers at $20.00 or military ulsters at $7.50 from Schlesinger and Mayer's at the southeast corner of State and Madison Streets; men's winter underwear at $1.25 and 49c could be bought at the Hub on the northwest corner of State and Jackson. (Those persons preferring to shop at Marshall Field's would have had to wait a day to see what was available, since Field's did not at that time advertise on Sundays.) Much news space was devoted to the forthcoming World's Columbian Exposition: a gang of French crooks with plans to "work the Fair" had just been arrested, and an article by Caroline S.
