A Kingdom Season Litany by the Reverend Canon Gene Packwood, Diocese of Calgary All your works praise you, O Lord, And your faithful servants bless you. They make known the glory of your kingdom And speak of your power; That the peoples may know of your power And the glorious splendour of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; Your dominion endures throughout all ages. Lord, remember us in your kingdom, And teach us to pray. As we grow to be a people who know, love, and follow Jesus in serving your mission: your will be done, Your kingdom come. As we proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God revealed in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ: your will be done, Your kingdom come. As we invite, teach, baptize and nurture new believers: your will be done, Your kingdom come. As we respond to human need by loving service: your will be done, Your kingdom come. As we seek to transform unjust structures of society; challenging violence of every kind, pursuing peace and reconciliation: your will be done, Your kingdom come. As we safeguard the integrity of your creation: your will be done, Your kingdom come. Lead us in the way of service, That your kingdom may be known on earth. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, Now and forever. Amen. For the ministry of the Church Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, in your divine providence you have appointed various orders in your Church. Give your grace, we humbly pray, to all who are (now) called to any office and ministry for your people; and so fill them with the truth of your doctrine and clothe them with holiness of life, that they may faithfully serve before you, to the glory of your great name and for the benefit of your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. In memorial O God of the spirits of all flesh, we praise and magnify your holy name for all your servants who have finished their course in faith and fear, especially those past members of Diocesan Synod ... [silence]; ... and we ask that encouraged by their examples and strengthened by their fe llowship, we with them may share in the inheritance of the saints in light; through the me rits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

K1 ate) Attached Abstract: [_x_] yes ] no Attached Briefing Statement: [ ] yes [ ] no 2 Reference:NJ/Military Park Commons Historic District/City-CDBG/ New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project Attachment ABSTRACT The City of Newark, New Jersey, proposes to allocate $1.2 million dollars in CDBG funds from a "Special Purpose Grant" authorized by Congress in 1990 to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) for the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project. The undertaking, which will be constructed in the Central Business District, will cost an estimated $250 million and be implemented in phases over the next ten years. As currently designed, Phase I, a 2,7000 seat multi-purpose hall and 500 studio theater, will have an adverse affect on the Military Park Commons Historic District, two archeological sites, including the Trinity Church Cemetery, and several other standing structures, all of which have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register. NJPAC has been consulting with the New Jersey SHPO regarding this undertaking since 1990. Although a cultural resources survey and assessment of effect for properties within the "area of potential effect" was completed over two years ago, the Council did not become aware of this undertaking until the fall of 1992 when we were appraised by the SHPO that human remains would be impacted by the removal of the nineteenth-century Trinity Church Cemetery.

  • News and Notes 1980-1989
    NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.
