The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew & Saint Michael April 2013-May 2013 Edition The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew & Saint Michael – Bloemfontein THE INSTALLATION OF MOSOKOTSO LAZARUS MOHAPI THE RECTOR AND DEAN ON THE 10TH MARCH 2013 What is Anglicanism by The Dean – Fr Lazarus Mohapi Anglicanism is the catholic faith as expressed through the Church of England. An Anglican is a member of the Anglican Church, or more properly the Anglican Communion. The word “Anglican” derives from the word “Anglo” as in "Anglo-Saxon" and means "English." The Anglican Church originally was the Church of England and indeed the Anglican Church began in England. Today, many centuries later, The Anglican Communion is made up of 38 Provinces that include 77 million members in 164 countries. It is the third largest Christian church, right after Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. "Anglicanism" is the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Communion. Although considered Protestant by many, the Anglican Communion identifies itself with the catholic faiths. In fact, many refer to the Anglican faith as being reformed Catholicism, while others call it Biblical Catholicism. But, whatever the definition, Anglicanism is a hybrid between the Catholic and Protestant faiths. Anglicanism is a tradition within Christianity comprising the Church of England and churches which are historically tied to it or have similar beliefs, worship practices and church structures. The word Anglican originates in ecclesia anglicana, a medieval Latin phrase dating to at least 1246 that means the English Church. Adherents of Anglicanism are called Anglicans. The great majority of Anglicans are members of churches which are part of the international Anglican Communion. There are, however, a number of churches outside of the Anglican Communion which also consider themselves to be Anglican, most notably those referred to as Continuing Anglican churches. The faith of Anglicans is founded in the scriptures, the traditions of the apostolic church, the apostolic succession ("historic episcopate") and the early Church Fathers. Anglicanism forms one of the branches of Western Christianity; having definitively declared its independence from the Roman pontiff at the time of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, in what has been otherwise termed the British monachism. Many of the new Anglican formularies of the mid-16th century corresponded closely to those of contemporary ReformedProtestantism and these reforms in the Church of England were understood by one of those most responsible for them, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, as navigating a middle way between two of the emerging Protestant traditions, namely Lutheranism and Calvinism. By the end of the century, the retention in Anglicanism of many traditional liturgical forms and of the episcopate was already seen as unacceptable by those promoting the most developed Protestant principles. Belonging to a world-wide family of 78 million other Anglicans Belonging to an Church which is Episcopally led and Synodically governed Belonging to a Church which affirms the Bishop as our Father in God, teacher of the Faith, a focus of unity and authority for ministry Belonging to a Church which affirms that God‟s Grace is experienced through all seven sacraments of the Church Belonging to a Church in which the three historic orders of ministry, of Deacons, Priests and Bishops comprise the ordained ministry CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 2 Definition Anglicanism, in its structures, theology and forms of worship, is commonly understood as a distinct Christian tradition representing a middle ground between what are perceived to be the extremes of the claims of 16th century Roman Catholicism and the Lutheran and Reformed varieties of Protestantism of that era. As such, it is often referred to as being a via media (or "middle way") between these traditions. The faith of Anglicans is founded in the Scriptures and the Gospels, the traditions of the Apostolic Church, the historical episcopate, the first seven ecumenical councils and the early Church Fathers. Anglicans understand the Old and New Testaments as "containing all things necessary for salvation" and as being the rule and ultimate standard of faith. Anglicans understand the Apostles' Creed as the baptismal symbol and the Nicene Creed as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith Identity Worship -Unique to Anglicanism is the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), the collection of services that worshippers in most Anglican churches used for centuries. It was called common prayer originally because it was intended for use in all Church of England churches which had previously followed differing local liturgies. The term was kept when the church became international because all Anglicans used to share in its use around the world. In 1549, the first Book of Common Prayer was compiled by Thomas Cranmer, who was then Archbishop of Canterbury. While it has since undergone many revisions and Anglican churches in different countries have developed other service books, the Prayer Book is still acknowledged as one of the ties that bind the Anglican Communion together. Anglican Communion is a worldwide fellowship of churches in many different countries which stem from the original Church of England, of which the Anglican Church of Southern Africa is part of. 1. The Holy Scriptures including the Old and New Testament as containing all thingsnecessary to salvation 2. The Creeds (specifically, the Apostles and Nicene Creeds), as the sufficient statement of Christian faith 3. The Sacraments, especially those of Baptism and Holy Communion 4. The historic Episcopate, locally adapted. 5. Tradition which is dynamic. Governance The Anglican Church is an Episcopal Church run by Bishops, using Cannons and Constitution, Synods ,Diocesan Standing Committee, Provincial Standing Committee, Parish Church Council, Vestry Meetings and Diocesan Rule and Regulations. The laity in the Anglican Church have got great a role to play, when it comes to decision making . Nature of Ministry in the Anglican Church All falls ultimately under the authority of the Bishop Falls under the authority of others, licensed to ministry by the Bishop, such as Archdeacon /Cluster Leaders and Rectors, or Priests-in- charge Ministry is based on the principle of mutual accountability and shared responsibility, although in matters of conflict or dispute the Bishop‟s ruling is final The definitions of duties and the boundaries of authority of various bodies and committees is governed by the Canons and Diocesan Standing Rules 3 We are the Easter people My dear Brothers and Sisters During the season of Lent, we prepare ourselves through penance and discipline towards the celebration of Easter. The Easter season is a celebration of life. Easter denotes the resurrection of Christ. A divine act that brings immense hope in the midst of uncertainty and death. We are called to be witnesses of the risen Lord: to proclaim our love for God and others through obedience to Christ‟s teachings, knowing that by so doing we shall find the fullness of life promised in and by Jesus. Resurrection in itself has little meaning without the cross. Every resurrection has a cross behind it. Jesus taught the paradoxical way that only by death comes life, and only by sacrificial service do we exhibit true greatness. Nevertheless, this does not imply some kind of miserable joyless life. On the contrary Resurrection calls us to choose life and give life, so our faith in the risen Lord should enable us to be channels of God‟s saving grace in this world. May the “Shalom” of the risen Lord reign among us and strengthen us to discern the signs of our times and act accordingly. Yours in Christ Fr Lazarus 4 Written by: Sandy Botha The weekend of the 9th/10th of March was a very special time in our Diocese. On 9th Fr Stephen Dintoe Letloenyane was consecrated as the 13th Bishop of our Diocese. The service took place at the Callie Human Auditorium on the campus of the University of the Free State and was an occasion to remember. Of course the Archbishop Thabo Makgoba was there, as well as many other Bishops, including Bishop David Bannerman and Dean William Mostert who are well-known to the “older” members of our congregation! On 10th March here at our Cathedral we were proud to have Bp Dintoe with us as his first task as Bishop was to install Fr Mosokotso Lazarus Mohapi as Dean. The Revd Canon John Hall from Blackburn preached, and the service was followed by a lovely tea in the Hall. Bishop Dintoe, Dean Lazarus, Bishop Geoff Suffragan Bishop of Blackburn 5 More news from the Diocese: Fr David Mills (Education and Training officer) has left the Diocese on 21st February. He will become Dean of Studies and Bishop‟s Chaplain in Cape Town. He also achieved his Master‟s degree in practical Theology cum laude. Joy, his wife, will continue her psychology practice there. They will be near one of their two daughters; while the other is overseas. They will be living at 3 Baxter Avenue (E-mail is: [email protected]) and welcome contact from our Diocese. Some of our parishioners have been unwell and in hospital: Di Koning is feeling better, but Shirley Richardson continues to battle. Bruce Middlecote had to have a huge op, but we assure both him and Estelle of our prayers. Delysia Hoehne is making progress slowly. Doreen Lewer has had a carpal tunnel operation to her hand on 1st March. You might remember Mike Summers, the previous Estate Manager, had a light stroke recently but has fully recovered. He continues to live in Durban with Lorraine. Josie Brigg has also had another slight stroke and is now in a Frail Care facility in Stilfontein. Her speech has been affected but she will apparently recover completely. The news through the grape-vine is that Pat Narraway had her gall bladder removed and suffered minor complications, but is well on the road to complete recovery.

  • Episcopal Church Style Guide
    Episcopal Church Style Guide The official name of the church is The Episcopal Church. When writing about the Episcopal Church, please follow these guidelines: * In the first reference, the full name of the church is preferred: The Episcopal Church. * When referring to church members, the term “Episcopalians” is preferred. We elect a Presiding Bishop, who is our chief pastor and primate of the church. Chosen by the House of Bishops from one of its members, the Presiding Bishop serves for nine years, or until normal retirement age, if that occurs first. In formal usage, he or she is known as “The Most Reverend”,” usually abbreviated to “The Most Rev.” His or her first name (or preferred forename) is always used, together with an initial if applicable (e.g., “The Most Rev. John A. Smith”, or “The Most Rev. A. John Smith”). All other bishops should be addressed as above, but using the form “The Rt. Rev.” Priests and deacons are referred to as “The Rev.” Our church is organized into dioceses, and there is at least one diocese in each state. However, some states have two or more dioceses. For example, we have a Diocese of New Jersey, but in the northern part of the state there is a Diocese of Newark. Likewise, there is a Diocese of Texas, but there are several other dioceses in that state. The Bishop with jurisdiction of a diocese is usually known as the “diocesan bishop”, and is sometimes known as the “Ordinary.” He or she may have other bishops to assist, who are referred to as “bishops suffragan” and are elected in the same way that bishops are, by representatives of the members of the diocese.

  • “Cathedral-Style” Churches
    “Cathedral-Style” Churches After the turn of the century, Ukrainian congregations often grew to a size where their small church buildings were impractical. The years from about 1920 to 1940 thus witnessed the construction of many large Ukrainian churches in Manitoba. These were no longer simple log or light wood frame structures like those built by the early settlers. The new churches were more elaborate structures, larger in scale and often more sophisticated in ornamentation; similar in conception to the large Ukrainian Baroque churches like the restored St. Sophia in Kiev, the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Chapel of the Three Saints. Although not technically cathedrals – which are the seats of bishops – these churches are so extraordinary, especially in a rural landscape, that they are frequently called “prairie cathedrals.” Considering the modest nature of the log or wood frame churches examined previously in this study, the large churches designed for Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox congregations in Manitoba during the 1920s, 30s, 40, and 50s are remarkable. Foremost among these are the Ukrainian Catholic churches designed by Father Philip Ruh. His designs for “cathedral‐style” churches adorn the countryside outside Manitoba from Edmonton, Alberta to St. Catharineʹs, Ontario. Research to date attributes 33 structures to this amazing man. Ruh’s influence also spread to other communities in less direct ways. He was often called upon by various congregations to discuss the designs for new churches and the two main contractors working for Ruh relied on his designs for the churches they built without his supervision. Ruh was prolific and his designs influential.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.
