    Grace Episcopal Cathedral October 2019 Topeka, Kansas Vol. 94, No. 10 From the Senior Warden During a recent Sunday morning announcement, our Search Team Chair, Marilyn Trubey, said that God has already chosen a dean for this Cathedral and it is up to the Search Team to discern who that person is. This is why prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit play such an important role in the work the team is doing. As this issue of The Chimes is going to print, the team has finished Zoom interviews of the 11 applicants and is working on narrowing the field FAITH THE SIZE OF A MUSTARD SEED of candidates for in-person interviews. The Gospel reading from Luke for Sunday, October 6 God willing, we will be able to make a call to the new dean this fall.

  • All Saints Catholic Celebrates Two Historic Milestones
    Volume XXIV No. 52 Hometown Newspaper for Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood, Locust Valley and Brookville Week of 9/3/15 75C All Saints Catholic Celebrates Two Historic Milestones This coming school year will be a very exciting one for our local Catholic School, All Saints Regional Catholic School. This month marks not only ASR's 25th Anniversary, but also begins the 100th year of Catholic school education on the Gold Coast. St. Patrick School was dedicated on September 6, 1915 in the same landmark building now occupied by All Saints. Three more Catholic schools opened in surrounding communities during the early to mid-20th Century: St. Boniface, Sea Cliff, St. Hyacinth, Glen Head and St. Mary, Roslyn. These schools were founded to provide a high-quality faith based education to the families of this part of Long Island, including the children of the many Catholic immigrants who have always come to this area. The four original parish schools joined together in 1990 to form All Saints Regional Catholic School. The school is supported by those four parishes, joined by St. Rocco’s in Glen Cove, and by generous benefactors who support the school’s mission. Fr. Elias Carr, Headmaster of All To mark these two major anniversaries, Saints Regional Catholic School, All Saints is planning a number of and Mrs. Joanne Fitzgerald, celebratory events during school year Academic Dean, pose next to the 2015-16, starting in October with an school’s cornerstone, which holds historic reenactment of the original a time capsule to be opened in conjunction with the building’s 100th Anniversary this year.

  • Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee Office of Film and Literature Classification
    SENATE LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION COMMITTEE OFFICE OF FILM AND LITERATURE CLASSIFICATION Question No. 64 Senator Harradine asked the following questions at the hearing on 16 February 2004: a) Does the Department accept that there is genuine public concern that deleting the “M” from the advisory category takes away the cautionary meaning associated with M the idea of the need for a level of maturity to view certain films? The proposed category leaves only a requirement that those 15 years and under be accompanied by an adult, which is a gate keeping issue rather than advice as to the content of the film or who should see it. Won’t those perceptions be a problem if the new classification is adopted? b) Please provide a copy of any research the OFLC undertook when formulating this proposed change. c) What consultation has been undertaken with the general public as to this proposed change? d) If the MA15+ classification is no longer considered an effective or useful rating, what is the OFLC considering doing to better educate the public on the meaning of ratings symbols like MA15+? Isn’t change to a new rating likely to just cause more confusion? The answer to the honourable senator’s question is as follows: a) There is no intention to delete the “M” from an advisory category and therefore no cause for public concern in this regard. The proposal to delete the “M” from the name of the restricted classification, MA 15+, will not be proceeding. b) The following research reports, which were commissioned by the Office of Film and Literature Classification in formulating proposed changes to the cooperative classification scheme , including changes to the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 (the Classification Act), are attached: • Australian Consumers’ Understanding of Classification Information (March 2002) • Classification Usage and Attitude Study (November 2002), and • Consumer Advice Study (December 2002).

  • All Saints’ Day
    Newsletter Articles _ _ _ All Saints’ Day _ Many churches in Australia mark All Saints' Day on November 1 each year to honour all the saints, particularly those who do not have their own special feast day. What do people do? All Saints’ Day is a day for many people of Christian faith in Australia to remember and honor the saints. Some churches hold a special service or mass on All Saints’ Day. Some masses may feature music composed during the Renaissance. Many Christian schools may have lessons for students to learn about the role of saints in the history of Christianity at this time of the year. Special masses are held and prayers are made. However, some news reports have stated that events such as All Saints’ Day are less recognized in Australia modern times. Background According to some sources, the idea for All Saints' Day goes back to the fourth century when the Greek Christians kept a festival on the first Sunday after Pentecost (in late May or early June) in honour of all martyrs and saints. Other sources say that a commemoration of “All Martyrs” began to be celebrated as early as 270 CE but no specific month or date is recorded. Pope Gregory IV made All Saints' Day an authorized holiday in 837 CE. It is speculated that the chosen date for the event, November 1, may have been an attempt to supplant the pagan Festival of the Dead (also known as Samhain or the feast of Saman, lord of death). All Saints' Day, which is celebrated globally, is closely tied with All Souls' Day, which was first instituted at the monastery in Cluny in 993 CE and quickly spread throughout the Christian world.

David Caporn Just in case you had missed it, we are about to embark on a countdown and for the avoidance of down I don’t mean the two-year anniversary of invoking Article 50 on 29 March! At the beginning of this month amidst all the flurry of activity around Keswick in Devon, Lent begins during which we reflect and prepare for Easter. In the busyness of life it is all too easy to put our heads down, plough ahead and not take that time to stop and pause – and yet to do so is to stand on hal- lowed ground. As part of our preparations for Lent we are having a church Lent book (as we did in Advent). We are going to be using Tim Ches- ter’s ‘The Beauty of the Cross’, which throughout Lent will take us on a journey through Isaiah 52 and 53, reflecting on these amazing proph- ecies given 800 years or so before Jesus was born. As we read through these passages it is good to pause and reflect on the resonances that are so clear and powerful and the way in which they point us to Jesus’ own self-understanding, the power of the cross and what he has done for us.
