Installation of David Rice As Bishop Assistant 23 February 2014 St Installation of David Rice as Bishop Assistant 23 February 2014 St. Paul’s, Modesto, CA The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori Presiding Bishop and Primate The Episcopal Church We’re here today to celebrate the next chapter in a very long story. The history of this diocese has roots in the first worship by Anglicans, led by Sir Francis Drake’s chaplain north of San Francisco in 1579. A group of Native Americans stood by and watched. It took 270 years before there was a settled congregation – which continues today as Trinity-St. Peter’s, San Francisco.[1] The first missionary bishop of California, William Ingraham Kip, was elected back east in 1853, and shipwrecked en route off San Diego in January 1854.[2] He held his first service there – in the courthouse. Never let it be said that the current era is the first to see Episcopalians in court! Kip was offered hospitality by a wealthy rancher and community leader, Don Juan Bandini. This eminent resident was dealing with the continuing depredations of American citizens, who were stealing his livestock and plundering his ranch’s outposts. The desperadoes were white supremacists, led by one William Walker, who thought his manifest destiny was to establish English-speaking colonies in Latin America that could be added as American slave states.[3] He started in 1853 by capturing La Paz, Baja California. By the time Kip arrived in San Diego, the Mexican government had forced him out. Charged with violating the sovereignty of a foreign nation, he was acquitted by an American jury in 8 minutes. The relationship between the United States of Mexico and the United States of America is still a hot-button issue, in spite of our deep and abiding interdependence. Kip also found an army chaplain present, John Reynolds, who in 1853 was holding services at St. John’s, Stockton, attending the convention of Episcopalians in San Francisco, and working to develop a church in the San Diego area. Kip reports the continued lament over low attendance at services and the other attractive, alternative activities available to the population on Sundays – shopping and bars in particular. Reynolds was also engaged in a war of words in the local newspaper – his day’s equivalent of flaming blog posts. And we think our age is unique! Fast forward 155 years. Exactly six years ago today, Canon Bob Moore and Canon Brian Cox were here in the Diocese of San Joaquin as interim pastors listening to people in deep pain and confusion. The two canons met with many groups, found widespread mistrust of The Episcopal Church and urgent need for reconciliation, and counseled training and support for that ministry of healing. Throughout their skilled work here during the interim between December 2007, when leaders voted to leave The Episcopal Churc, and the election and installation of Jerry Lamb as provisional bishop in March 2008, they helped people begin to name their reality and begin to break down the fortifications that had kept individuals and groups from learning what they shared as the body of Christ in this place. They were led by what Joshua directed his hearers to do: observe the law of Moses – i.e., love God with all you are and have and love your neighbor as yourself. The two canons were especially scrupulous about “not turning to right or left” for that kind of taking sides was a good part of what led to the split. ‘Keep this law in the forefront of your consciousness, particularly as you speak,’ says the prophet, and finally, “be strong and courageous, for God is with you, wherever you go.” That has been the prime directive around here ever since: be strong and courageous and love your neighbors. Be strong and courageous enough to enter into real dialogue with people who hold a different opinion. You will discover the image of God in them, and you can expect to grow in grace, even if it is very hard work! Bishop Lamb was stalwart and creative in encouraging this diocese to discover the reality that Paul talks about – all the baptized are gifted for ministry, those gifts and skills differ from one person to the next, and all of them are essential to the work of the body of Christ. Perhaps the central watchword of this chapter was “grow up… into the full stature of Christ.” Don’t be misled by despots or tricksters who promise to keep you comfortably in thrall – grow up. It’s not easy, but it is the way to abundant life. Speak the truth in love, discover your part in the work of the body, meet the others and figure out how to coordinate this multi-limbed body for the work before us. Jane Onstad Lamb helped the world learn about the recent history of this community, and the hard work of truth-telling, in the book she edited, and it’s been a gift to others in similar circumstances.[4] Perhaps the iconic marker of this chapter of the diocese’s history was a report published in 2009 by a Commission on Equality, that challenged the entire diocese to consider the gifts and needs of all, with particular regard to women, the LGBT community, different ethnic and language groups, the disabled and hard of hearing, children and elders, the poor and people of varying educational levels, and anyone who’s been pushed to the margins. It’s offered a deeply gospel- based response to a history of prejudice and exclusion that reflects Paul’s charge to the Christians in Ephesus to ‘take your part in the body of Christ, which should function as one body, continuing to grow in love.’ The next chapter of ministry here included the installation of Bishop Talton as provisional bishop in March 2011. Rebuilding, reconnecting, and healing have continued under his leadership, with a new deanery structure and encouragement to be an inviting and welcoming presence in the wider community. That’s variously looked like blessing animals in a shelter in Atwater, raising funds and friends for Haiti, connecting with the School for Deacons in Berkeley, planting community gardens, and starting campus ministry. This chapter has been characterized by connecting and kenosis. Connecting begins with a Trinitarian understanding of God – for being made in the image of God means we are relational beings. Kenosis is a Greek word that means emptiness, and it’s often used to talk about what God does in taking on human flesh, and the kind of self-emptying ministry Jesus exemplifies. It’s about humility, and getting out of the way so that others can use their gifts for ministry, and it flows out of an understanding that we all depend on the Body to which we are connected. Chet and April have continually prodded, lured, and cajoled the people around here to try new things, and to reach out in ways that may seem scary or new, always for the sake of the other. This chapter of ministry has continued to build on recent ones – finding strength and courage to discover those marginalized or forgotten others around us, and looking inward to discover the gifts God has given each one of us – for the sake of reconciling and healing the world. Chet and April have modeled that kenotic work in inviting others into leadership and reminding us all that leadership is for a time and includes planning for the next chapter. We look toward that next chapter today. Jesus’ words in the gospel about his relationship with God might be summarized, ‘look here and see what God is like, and if you can’t see clearly, look at what I do, and you’ll see what God is up to.’ This diocesan community is engaged in making those words and works evident – so that the world can see healing, reconciliation, and good news in the flesh. You’re discovering those strengthened connections made evident in the sacrificial generosity of the bishops of Province VIII, funds given to aid this next chapter of your ministry. It may seem only like a remarkably gracious gift – and indeed it is – but it will challenge you to reflect that sacrificial generosity in your lives and the lives you touch here and around the world. How will you put that into flesh? How will you pour yourselves out in love for the broken world around you? You are calling a new bishop into this community to keep challenging and encouraging you to do just that. The challenges that faced the first Anglicans and Episcopalians in California are still with us, beginning with the long gaps in physical presence and ministry – don’t wait 270 years for the next chapter. Use the courts to spread good news. Share community with earlier inhabitants of this land – the first peoples, both Native and Latino. Discover the gifts, stories, and insights of new and ancient inhabitants and let them teach you. Recognize that the popular press and the blogosphere are not your ultimate judges – be courageous and faithful, and keep growing up into the full stature of the Christ who poured out his life for the world. There is good evidence that one of Kip’s spiritual descendants[5] used to send people on their way at the end of a service with these words: get up, get out, and get lost! Get up your courage, get out there into the world, and lose yourselves in serving God’s world. [1] Founded in 1849 as Trinity Church.

  • By Lawrence N. Crumb the Episcopal Church's First Bishop in the Pacific
    THOMAS FIELDING SCOTT: FAILURE OR FOUNDATION? by Lawrence N. Crumb The Episcopal Church’s first bishop in the Pacific Northwest was Thomas Fielding Scott. He served for only thirteen years (1854-1867) and left thinking he had been a failure. But was he? Scott was born 12 March 1807 in Iredell County, North Carolina, the younger of two brothers. He became an active member of the Presbyterian Church at age seventeen and went on to Franklin College, as the University of Georgia was then known. He graduated in 1829 and was licensed to preach in the Presbyterian Church. He served several churches in Georgia and Tennessee until 1842, when he met Bishops James Hervey Otey of Tennessee and Leonidas Polk, Missionary Bishop of the Southwest (later, of Louisiana). They were both converts to the Episcopal Church, and under their influence he came to decide that the claims of episcopacy were true. (He had been unhappy with the Presbyterian Church because of a split in 1837-38.) He was ordained deacon in 1843 and priest in 1844 by Bishop Stephen Elliott of Georgia, serving churches in Marietta and Columbus. He later described himself as “conservative and catholic,” possibly the influence of Bishop Otey, whose “high and dry” churchmanship was widespread in the early Nineteenth Century. The General Convention of 1853 established the Missionary jurisdiction of the Oregon and Washington Territories, and Scott was elected as its first bishop. Unlike William Ingraham Kip, who was elected at the same time for California and consecrated at the convention with several bishops taking part, Scott was consecrated at Christ Church, Savannah, on 8 January 1854, with only three bishops (Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina) participating.

    -1- History of St. Paul’s, Walnut Creek, CA, prepared by Mike Siebert in 2008. Format: Oral presentation to Vestry and New Members, with slide show. 1849 Gold Rush brought lots of people to California. Good morning, I am Mike Siebert, I have been a member of St. Paul’s since 1997, and it is my privilege to talk to you this morning for about 20 minutes about the history of St. Paul’s. We are so happy you have decided to become a part of our ongoing history. But first, I want to acknowledge the great debt we owe to Laura Lott, who was our Parish Historian and compiled a very detailed and colorful history in the mid-seventies. Laura retired to the Episcopal home in Santa Rosa and I am informed she passed away a year or two ago. I also want to thank Pat Smith, who put all these wonderful pictures on powerpoint and who is operating the equipment this morning. I am afraid I am very low tech. The story boards you see in this room also have many photos and I invite you got look at them after our meeting this morning. October 28, 1849, Trinity Church in San Francisco opened at Powell and Jackson, just a bit down the street from where the Fairmont Hotel is now. The same year, Grace Chapel opened, near the present site of Grace Cathedral. And, in 1849, William Slusher built a cabin in what would become Walnut Creek, at the crossings fo the Oakland-Stockton and San Jose-Martinez roads.

  • Fej Lloyd and the Oregon Election of 1905
    F. E. J. LLOYD AND THE OREGON ELECTION OF 1905 Lawrence N. Crumb The Episcopal Church has had over one thousand bishops. Many have been the subject of biographies or autobiographies, and the first one hundred have been studied as a group.1 Little has been written, however, about “the ones that got away”—priests who were elected to the episcopate but declined. In 1783, Jeremiah Leaming declined election in Connecticut, thus paving the way for Samuel Seabury to become the first bishop of that or any diocese in the United States. In 1835, Francis Lister Hawks declined election as missionary bishop for the Old Southwest, thus making Jackson Kemper, elected at the same time for the Old Northwest, the church’s first official missionary bishop.2 An interesting but little-known example in the twentieth century was the election in 1947 of Robert Alexander Magill of Lynchburg, Virginia, as bishop of Los Angeles by a convention bitterly divided over churchmanship. He is listed in that diocese’s section of The Living Church Annual for 1948 as bishop-elect, but declined when threatened with a lawsuit. (A priest had been denied a vote because of a misunderstanding as to how long he had been in the diocese, and that was used as leverage to prevent the consecration of the low-church candidate.)3 Surely, the most interesting of all those who declined election was the Reverend F. E. J. Lloyd, elected bishop coadjutor of Oregon in 1905. The General Convention of 1853 established the Missionary jurisdiction of the Oregon and Washington Territories, and Thomas Fielding Scott, rector of Trinity Church, Columbus, Georgia, was elected as its first bishop.
