Communication Team Introduces Theme and Visual Identity in October 2019, the St Newsletter of St. James Episcopal Church Walk with us in God’s love January 2020 St. James Capital Campaign Communication Team Introduces Theme and Visual Identity In October 2019, the St. James Vestry approved a major initiative to address critical building needs and to provide direc- tion for a parish-wide vision for our future. Horizons Stewardship, a company specializing in capital campaign manage- ment, has been retained to guide our efforts. Assigned the responsibility to develop a theme and visual identity, the Communication Team is pleased to introduce them to you. CONNECTING OUR ENERGY For a Vibrant Community Background for Campaign Theme: For every major initiative, there is a need to energize the community of stake-holders. The communi- cations team agrees that an action-driven theme incorporating the involvement of everyone who has a past, present or future connec- tion with St. James is essential to the success of our mission. During our theme-development meeting, the communications team shared examples of multiple opportunities to make strong connections between individuals, groups and activities. These examples illustrated how the skills, strengths and energy of diverse backgrounds, ages, family structure and relationships with the church will drive our future. Using “connecting” and “energy” as our key words for the theme, the team defined seven ways in which each person with a relationship to St. James can take positive action. As we implement plans for participation in the 2020 St. James Capital Campaign, we encourage you and your group to use these as questions. We hope the responses will energize your team’s commitment to our shared vision of a vibrant future. • Build for the future • Embrace new ideas • Strengthen faith • Create a nurturing environment • Empower others • Generate enthusiasm • Enhance learning The theme and visual identity spark the launch of the St. James 2020 Capital Campaign, a vision for our future. Now the work of committed committee volunteers begins. They will be meeting with their teams during the next three months to develop and implement action plans for their assigned responsibility. The next major point of communication is slated for February 6 when a Vision Brochure will be distributed. The bro- chure will outline key events and activities through Announcement Sunday in April. In addition, a timeline for building updates will be included. Underlying the entire campaign will be a focus on the power of prayer. In the coming month, you will learn more about prayer as a statement of our unity from the prayer team. While the campaign goals are serious, we hope the process to get there will be informative, inclusive of all ages and expe- riences, incorporate new thoughts and ideas, and put the fun back in fundraising! Three-Minute Theology The Gospel of Matthew The first of December was the beginning of not only Advent, but a brand new litur- gical year. As we rotate through years A, B, and C, we also rotate through the Gos- pel being emphasized. During the 2019/2020 church year we will be reading most The Reverend Joshua A. Hoover, often from the Gospel of Matthew. Therefore, it seems appropriate to learn a little Rector bit more about the way that Matthew sees God and Jesus, and to better understand [email protected] what we will be hearing from this Gospel over the next year. St. James Episcopal Church Matthew was almost always the first Gospel listed in the early church and was the most quoted by the church fathers. It was probably the second Gospel to have 355 West Maple Road been written, and most scholars think that the author used the Gospel of Mark as a Birmingham, MI 48009 resource. Almost certainly not written by the disciple, Matthew, it likely came from www.stjamesbirmingham.org a church that he started that reflected a relatively wealthy, urban community, and Phone 248-644-0820 could have been written as early as 80 and as late as 100 AD. The Spirit is a monthly newsletter Matthew is the most Jewish of Gospel writers. He quotes the Greek version of He- published for members and friends brew Scriptures 61 times in his gospel (as opposed to 24 in Mark). Most of these are Jesus quoting the scriptures as a way to defend or extend his ministry. It is clear of St. James. We are always looking that Matthew identified Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. And from the genealogy in for photographs of church events! the beginning that connects him to David, among others, to the many times he tells The deadline for submission is the th us that scripture predicted this moment, Matthew wants us to see Jesus as not an 15 of each month for the following alternative, but a fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel. month’s issue. Please email articles One of Matthew’s other favorite ways of seeing Jesus is as the true king. The tale of and/or photos to: churchoffice@ the wise men coming to see the birth of the new king, and mistakenly going to the stjamesbirmingham.org or call the royal palace, is only found in this Gospel. And Matthew continues the theme by Parish Administrator. stressing time after time that Jesus is the true king, above and beyond all the earthly WORSHIP SCHEDULE kings. Therefore, you can expect to hear many stories in which the Kingdom of God Sundays 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. or of Jesus is in conflict with the kingdoms of this world. Wednesdays 7:00 a.m. What else can we look forward to in this Gospel this year? In addition to stories that focus on Jesus’ kingship and conflict with earthly kingdoms, and those that focus on CHURCH OFFICE HOURS Jesus’ Jewish identity, there are a number of other things to watch for. Matthew con- Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. tains the Sermon on the Mount, the fullest set of teachings from Jesus in any Gospel PASTORAL CARE (Luke contains some parts of this). Matthew is the only Gospel source for multiple For pastoral emergencies, please parables including the Unforgiving Servant, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Labor- contact Fr. Josh Hoover at ers in the Vineyard. We will also only find here the story of Peter walking on the 810-620-5402 water and many details of the crucifixion, including Pilate washing his hands. SUNDAYS As we read Matthew’s Gospel, I encourage you to think about what you are hearing from week to week. What are themes that you might not have heard from other 8:00 a.m. Eucharist (Church) writers, and what does it mean, from Matthew’s perspective, to be a good disciple? 9:00 a.m. The Bridge (grades 7-9) As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions. 9:05 a.m. Adult Forum (Lounge) 10:00 a.m. Eucharist (Church) —Fr.

The work made use of a string quintet, organ, and harp, and a variety of vocal combinations. Though only 22 when he composed the piece, Saint- Saëns brought to the piece a mature sense of lyrical vocal writing and overall organization. Special thanks go to our soloists: Sara Carlson, Elaine Linstedt, Lauri Christianson, Rick Jackson, Chuck Furchak, and Christopher Peters, who were all marvellous throughout. Thank you also to Shay Pendray and Margo Campbell for arranging the great reception afterward. The choir sang for the 10:00 p.m. service on Christmas Eve, and is now on holiday until Sun- day, January 5. On December 29 Sara Carlson served as our cantor and soloist at the 10:00 a.m. service. The choristers, who sang “Alabaré a mi Señor” so well on November 24, also sang for the 5:00 p.m.

  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.

    The PulsePulse NOVEMBER 2015 THE SAINT JAMES PRESBYTERIAN MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Welcome Rev. Janet Sonnanburg! After a period of focused energy and prayerful consideration, the Session has invited the Rev. Janet Sonnanburg to serve as the Interim Pastor for St. James with a one year contract renewable for a second year. She will be with us for approximately one to two years. We feel very fortunate that she is available for St. James as she is keenly attuned to the ministry that we provide in Bellingham, and is eager to support us in our work. She answered every question with depth and directness and she gave us a clear sense of her theology, worship style, programmatic and administrative leadership. We value a collegial partnership with our pastor and she will provide it. She will provide us excellent resources for pastoral care, Bible studies and leadership training. She is highly regarded in the Presbytery and her interim work has been reported as very successful. We look forward to having her at Saint James. Her first Sunday in the pulpit will be November 1, 2015. Here’s a little bit about her. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, except for 4 years in Korea where her father worked for USAID. Her parents had two sets of twins, both boy/girl. Janet’s twin and she are just 13 months younger than her older brother and sister. While in Korea, her parents added a younger sister to the family, adopting a girl from the orphanage in Seoul where her mother was volunteering. She graduated from Whitworth College and Princeton Seminary.

  • The Saint Mystery Library Are Almost All Anthologies
    The Saint Books An overview The two book series indexed here are only indirectly related to each other. In each case the books were issued by the company that was then publishing The Saint Mystery Magazine. However, the magazine had changed hands between the two series, including a year’s hiatus between the two publishers. The two constants over the magazine’s history were the editorial direction of Leslie Charteris and the direct editorship of Hans Stefan Santesson. The publisher of Great American Publications was given as Henry Scharf in issues of The Saint Mystery Magazine. The ownership of Fiction Publishing Company remains a mystery. One would expect it to be revealed by the annual Post Office-mandated Statements of Ownership in the magazine, but this incarnation did not have a second- class mailing permit so they never printed one. The indexing of each series presents its own problems. The Saint Mystery Library are almost all anthologies. The volumes list Leslie Charteris as the editor of the series, which I have stretched to give him credit as editor of the individual volumes. The Saint Novels were all reprints of previously published Saint books, all by Leslie Charteris. Obviously an author Index of the book titles for either series would have only one author: Leslie Charteris. Thus I have dispensed with that level of Author Index and produced a combined Author Index, containing both the book titles and the contents. The book titles are printed in italics. The usual citations for prior publications of the books didn’t fit into this format, so I annotated them into the Numerical Listings instead.
