    THE Retirement Issue [IVING CHURCH. - . ~· cz;~ ~E EXTRAORDINAR Y VISION. ~ ision that was to become Vicar's Landing ~ ::.:Oated from a statement made in a sermon given by The Reverend Dr. James H. Cooper, then Rector of Christ Episcopal Church, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. On Pentecost Sunday, 1982, The Rev. Cooper suggested that retired residents of Ponte Vedra Beach had no community in the area where they could live in security, dignity and have the resort lifestyle to which they had become accustomed . That vision has now been realized as evidenced by the growth of Vicar'sLanding and more recently, Glenmoor in World Golf Village near St. Augustine, FL. Both Glenmoor and Vicar's Landing are setting new standards for what life care can be. The elegant residences, both apartments and homes, are nestled on spacious landscaped grounds in lovely resort settings. Each campus was designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. With all the amenities, activities and services, the pleasures and privileges of retirement at its very best are evident every day. Because of the vision of 1982, you can experience this lifestyle now.

By your abundant grace may we lay aside any shallow self-interest so that in seeking to elect your servant we may serve you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. 3 IN T RODU ct ION After almost 12 years of ministry, our Diocesan Bishop, Charles Jenkins, will retire in January 2010. Bishop Jenkins has provided tremendous leadership for our diocese — particularly in the wake of a series of devastating hurricanes. He has also been active in the national church and the House of Bishops. He is widely loved and respected in our diocese among both clergy and laity — he will be sorely missed. Our diocese has been through trying times. We have been washed away by the floods, and blown away by hurricane force winds. We have been on the Jericho Road, dependent on help from the generous Samaritan.

  • The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr
    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions

At the Seamen's Church Institute, the status quo is not good enough. What we have successfully accomplished is satisfying, but our culture very much includes expanding programmatic successes. That is why an SCI committee underwent a comprehensive year-long Strategic Planning review. The Committee studied what our needs might be 10 years out It also attempted to evaluate the changing needs of those we serve during that same period. Not much stays exactly the same for 10 years . We focused on what can be expected to change, internally and externally, and how we should position the Institute to meet these changes.
