Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary The Way of Holiness Now that we have made our way from Advent to the Nativity we are challenged as to what to do with this baby. Of course we know from Scripture that the world would not receive Him. Though there were stars in the East, Wise Men bearing gifts and all of heaven looking down upon us, the world turned its back as if this was just any child born into the world. But here we have it “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Wow! God was born into the world in the flesh. That is just like you and me. He comes with a heart, ten fingers and ten toes and even hair. He was born into the cold night of Winter with no heater to keep Him warm, only a loving mother with some swaddling clothes. As I think about it I am amazed of how much He was like us, and yet comes to us with the fullness of grace and truth. I suspect grace means He comes in the “uncreated energy of God.” That is a forceful, never-ending compassion and love that redeems the soul. His truth is that which assures us that He will live up to His promises.

  • A Public Service of Healing
    A Public Service of Healing The Feast of Channing Moore Williams Bishop and Missionary, 1910 December 2, 2020 The Word of God Presider: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. People: And also with you. Let us pray. After a period of silence, the Minister then says the following Collects. Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come here seeking your healing grace for themselves and for others. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, who in your providence called Channing Moore Williams to the ministry of this church and gave him the gifts and the perseverance to preach the Gospel in new lands: Inspire us, by his example and prayers, to commit our talents to your service, confident that you uphold those whom you call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Epistle Acts 1:1-9 In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

  • The SDRCC As Experienced by a Japanese Colleague
    The SDRCC as Experienced by a Japanese Colleague by Kazushige Ogawa, Expert Staff, Japan Sports Arbitration Agency and Adjunct Professor, Rikkyo University and Hosei University (Tokyo) February 2012 In 2011, the SDRCC and the Japan Sports Arbitration Agency (JSAA) entered into a Reciprocity Agreement to stimulate partnership and collaboration between the two organizations, including the sharing of expertise and knowledge. In the same year, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) granted sponsorship to JSAA to provide training opportunities for experts in the field of sport dispute resolution; the grant allowed me to visit the SDRCC as a trainee for a period of 17 weeks, from May to September 2011. Orientation Program for Employees During my internship at the SDRCC, I had the opportunity to attend several orientation and education sessions for new staff members where I was able to learn about the SDRCC programs and materials; it allowed me to understand everything about the SDRCC, including its case management system and arbitration procedures, its prevention and education initiatives and resources, as well as and the Canadian sport system in general. Although all of JSAA’s employees have law degrees, they would benefit from more orientation on arbitration, sport governance and sports laws more precisely. The JSAA should consider adopting a similar education system if it expands due to an increasing caseload. Canadian Sport Society - Values, Openness and Transparency In July, I was graciously hosted by Sport Canada in Ottawa to learn more about the Canadian sport governing structure as well as ethics and anti-doping activities.
