  • Journal of the Proceedings of the Fifty-Third General Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church Has Found the Journal to Be Essentially Free of Errors
    JOURNAL of the PROCEEDINGS of the FIFTY-FOURTH GENERAL COUNCIL of the REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH held at NORMANDY FARMS CONFERENCE CENTER BLUE BELL, PA Commencing Wednesday, June 11, 2014 and ending Friday, June 13, 2014 Published by Order of the General Council NOTICE The FIFTY-FIFTH GENERAL COUNCIL of the Reformed Episcopal Church will be held in Dallas, Texas. Internal Revenue Service Number of the Reformed Episcopal Church is 1663 DECLARATION of PRINCIPLES Of the REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH Adopted, December 2, 1873 I. The Reformed Episcopal Church, holding “the faith once delivered unto the saints,” declares its belief in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, and the sole Rule of Faith and Practice; in the Creed “Commonly called the Apostles’ Creed;” in the Divine institution of the Sacraments of Baptism and the LORD’S Supper; and in the doctrines of grace substantially as they are set forth in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion. II. This Church recognizes and adheres to Episcopacy, not as of Divine right, but as a very ancient and desirable form of Church policy. III. This Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall not be imperative or repressive of freedom in prayer, accepts The Book of Common Prayer, as it was revised, proposed, and recommended for use by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, A.D. 1785, reserving full liberty to alter, abridge, enlarge, and amend the same, as may seem most conducive to the edification of the people, “provided that the substance of the faith be kept entire.” IV.

GRADUATE COLLEGE THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY SAMUEL LEE BOTKIN Norman, Oklahoma 1957 THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA, 1835-1941 APPROVED BY -r> ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When my wife, Patricia, and I recall the several years of work which have gone into my attempt to attain the degree of Doctor of Philo­ sophy, those persons who helped me overcome occasional, severe obstacles stand out in our memory. The Rev, Alvin Scollay Hock, retired Episcopal minister and former historiographer of the Diocese of Oklahoma, was probably the most helpful of all, Mr, Hock (l should include Mrs, Hock, too) not only gave me constant encouragement; he turned over to me the fruit of some twenty years of collecting of historical material for the Diocese of Oklahoma, Without Mr, Hock*s valuable collection, the producing of a history of the Missionary District of Oklahoma might have been impos­ sible. Two other persons, now long deceased, also deserve my gratitude for their foresight and labors in accumulating historical material for Oklahoma, They are the Rev. Franklin C, Smith, who served in Oklahoma from 1895 to 1901 and who compiled historical material of the earliest Episcopal activity in Indian Territory; and Miss Sarah Olden, former Stillwater resident who painstakingly reproduced hundreds of pages of material which had been published in national magazines on the Mission­ ary District of Oklahoma, 111 Performing the thankless task of requiring me to "do the job right" when I might have been tempted to be satisfied with less than my best effort was Dr, Edwin C.

  • Diocese of San Bernardino Which Are Distributed to the Two Counties That Comprise the Diocese: San Bernardino the First LOGO Was Designed by MICHAEL and Riverside
    FRONT BACK COVER Filipino Ministry Logo – It’s Meaning The LOGO of the Filipino Ministry - DSB is rich in symbolism and meaning. Let us unpack what they convey to the Christian communities at large: • ►HUMAN IMAGES: There are six human figures. The number six represents the six vicariates (Hemet, High Desert, Low Desert, Riverside, San Bernardino and West- End) in the Diocese of San Bernardino which are distributed to the two counties that comprise the diocese: San Bernardino The first LOGO was designed by MICHAEL and Riverside. The human images are the Filipinos residing AZUL, a parishioner of Holy Family Parish in in the 6 vicariates. They are close to one another to convey the Hesperia in 1994. unity that they signify, and that through their unity, a harmonious immersion to their respective parishes will be smoothly accomplish. ►BAMBOO CROSS: This represents the flexibility of the Filipinos, that where they settled, they always blossom in their faith. The bamboo can be used as tributaries where water will flow to give life to arid lands; likewise the Filipinos, firm as they are, they have a loving heart that feels the cries and needs of others; they become life-givers. • ►WHITE CLOTH HANGING ON THE CROSS: The white cloth represents resurrection, and this is the vision of the Filipinos, that wherever they are they can always live the resurrection as life- givers. This white cloth reminds Filipinos that their faith is embedded in the resurrection of Jesus. ►SHIP AND SAIL: The ship represents the County of Riverside and the sail represent the County of San Bernardino, which comprises the diocese.

Introduction We, the members of this grand jury, need you to hear this. We know some of you have heard some of it before. There have been other reports about child sex abuse within the Catholic Church. But never on this scale. For many of us, those earlier stories happened someplace else, someplace away. Now we know the truth: it happened everywhere. We were given the job of investigating child sex abuse in six dioceses - every diocese in the state except Philadelphia and Altoona -Johnstown, which were the subject of previous grand juries. These six dioceses account for 54 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. We heard the testimony of dozens of witnesses concerning clergy sex abuse. We subpoenaed, and reviewed, half a million pages of internal diocesan documents. They contained credible allegations against over three hundred predator priests. Over one thousand child victims were identifiable, from the church's own records.

    Political Mobilization of Latino Immigrants in American Cities and the U.S. Immigration Debate By Gustavo Cano* [email protected] 2009 Abstract: This paper analyses the mobilization actions among Latino populations in the United States, especially Mexican and Central American immigrants, triggered by the passage of H.R. 4437 by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 16, 2005. I expose the actors, their rationale, and mechanisms of mobilization that have raised to a historical proportion the current U.S. immigration debate. From a theoretical standpoint, I develop an analytical framework that addresses these events within the field of political transnationalism. The empirical analysis includes three levels: from a macro-meso perspective, this work suggests that mobilization actions can be explained mainly through the involvement of the Catholic Church and immigrant-supportive organizations in 32 cities across the nation. From a micro perspective, this research suggests that faith, work and family are the triggering factors for Latinos and Latino immigrants to participate in political mobilizations of this type. *: Director of the Transnationalism Research Project, Mexico-North Research Network, Washington D.C. Political Mobilization of Latino Immigrants in American Cities and the U.S. Immigration Debate 1 By Gustavo Cano Mexico-North Research Network, Washington D.C.
