  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

    Mission Quotes Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Acts 8:4 - an African chief speaking to missionary David Livingstone “All my forefathers have passed away into darkness without knowing anything of what was to befall them; how is it t hat your forefathers knowing all these things, did not send word to my forefathers sooner?” - Randy Alcorn “The opportunities for using our financial resources to spread the gospel and strengthen the church all over the world are greater than they've ever been. As God raised up Esther for just such a time as hers, I'm convinced he's raise us up, with all our wealth, to help fulfill the great commission. The question is, what are we doing with that money? Our job is to make sure it gets to his intended recipients.” - Roland Allen “Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.” - Brother Andrew “There are no closed doors to the gospel - provided that, once you get inside, you don't care if you ever come out.” “Don't complain to yourselves that you can't go to the mission field! Thank God for bringing the mission field to you!” - Gladys Aylward "I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China, I don't know who it was. It must have been a man, well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing, and God looked down and saw Gladys Aylward and God said - "Well, she's willing." - Art Beals “Christ’s commission is for the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world!

  • Juvenile Missionary Biographies, C. 1870-1917 'Thesis Submitted in Accordance with the Requirem
    Imagining the Missionary Hero: Juvenile Missionary Biographies, c. 1870-1917 ‘Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Julie Anne McColl.’ December 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the fascinating and complex body of work surrounding the missionary hero as a product of late imperial ideas of the heroic produced in the form of biography. It will concentrate upon how the literature was appropriated, reproduced and disseminated via the Sunday school network to working-class children between 1870 and 1917. It will discuss how biographers through imaginative narrative strategies and the reframing of the biography as an adventure story, were able to offer children a physical exemplar and self-sacrificial hero who dispensed clear imperial ideas and moral values. This thesis will reflect upon how the narratives embedded in dominant discourses provided working-class children with imperial ideologies including ideas of citizenship and self-help which it will argue allowed groups of Sunday school readers to feel part of an imagined community. In doing so, the thesis sheds important new light on a central point of contention in the considerable and often heated discussion that has developed since the 1980s around the impact of empire on British people.Through an analysis of common themes it will also consider the depiction of women missionaries, asking whether biographical representation challenged or reinforced traditional gender ideologies. To interrogate these components effectively this thesis is divided into two parts, Part One is divided into five chapters providing context, while Part Two will look in detail at the repetition and adaption of common themes.

    AVOIDING THE TENTMAKER TRAP A special edition for the Bedouin CD Not to be copied in any way This book was re-edited in 1997 and printed by WEC International. Second printing 1999, Third Printing 2002. To obtain the latest version with up-to-date appendicies etc., please contact WEC International Dan Gibson 2002 1 Chapter One Tom and Sue (A case study) Tom and Sue were excited. Their interest in missions had been growing for several years now and finally the pieces were falling together. Several weeks back Tom responded to an advert in a professional journal for a position in the Middle East and the reply was positive. The company wanted them in two weeks time! At first they were taken back by the suddenness of it all, but the company was adamant that they must come in two weeks or else someone else would fill the position. They spent a long evening together discussing the pro's and cons. Tom would have to quit his job at the plant. Sue would need to leave her work at the flower shop. It would mean leaving their church and close friends. That much seemed normal, although a little frightening. They had grown used to the security that comes from a steady job, income and the support of their church. But Sue was excited about the possibilities of missions. The more they discussed it the more excited they got. First of all they wouldn't have to join a mission organization. They were painfully aware of a young couple from their church who had spent several years trying to raise enough support for missions and then had fallen short and were now trying to sort their lives out.
