    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.

  • All Persons Equally Deserve the Ability to Pursue Their Dreams and Contribute to Their Communities and Families with Liberty, Dignity, and Freedom.” January 12, 2015
    “All persons equally deserve the ability to pursue their dreams and contribute to their communities and families with liberty, dignity, and freedom.” January 12, 2015 Over one hundred Episcopal Church bishops have joined Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in welcoming President Obama’s decision to offer relief from deportation to millions of undocumented community members and to reform certain harmful immigration enforcement policies. “I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation,” the letter states. In the statement, the Presiding Bishop and the bishops call upon the 114th Congress and the Obama Administration to work together to implement the executive orders quickly, fairly, and inclusively, and ask that Congress and the Administration continue to work together in pursuit of just and permanent solutions to our nation’s broken immigration system. The statement and the signatories follow: Together with families and communities across the United States, I give thanks for President Obama’s announcement that nearly five million undocumented immigrants will soon be eligible for relief from the threat of deportation. Too many families have lived for too long continually worried about parents being separated from children, wage-earners and caregivers from those who depend on them, and unable to participate fully in their communities and the nation’s economy. Permanent and comprehensive reform of our broken immigration system through congressional action is still urgently needed, but the President’s action is a constructive step toward a system that honors the dignity and intrinsic value of every human being.

  • Open Letter from Episcopal Bishops
    “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing so, some have entertained angels unawares.” (HEBREWS 13:1) President Donald Trump and Members of Congress, As bishops of the Episcopal Church we implore you not to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. To do so would endanger the lives of thousands of young people and their families and run contrary to the faith and moral traditions of our country. It is unfair to threaten the well-being of young people who arrived in our country as children through no choice of their own. Ending DACA without a similar replacement program will force these young people to face the future in this country with little access to education and employment, and ultimately, could very well lead to sending them to countries where they did not grow up, have few support structures, may not even speak the language and may be vulnerable to violence and persecution. Any of these scenarios, we believe, is cruel. The alternative for us as a country is to move forward, to celebrate and benefit from the presence of these ‘Dreamers’ and to provide a pathway to citizenship that enables them to remain and strengthen our country. The Episcopal Church has long advocated for bipartisan comprehensive immigration reforms that prioritize family unity and humanitarian concerns. It is time for Congress to develop long-term solutions for immigrant families. In front of most of the Episcopal Churches across the country is a sign that says, ‘The Episcopal Church Welcomes You.’ We have this sign because we are followers of the way of Jesus of Nazareth, and our Christian tradition shares with many other faith bodies the absolute importance of welcoming the foreigner in our midst.

  • Beyond the Anglican Covenant
    ISSN: 0718-4727 Vol. XII, Nº 1 (2018) pp. 75-96 Recibido: 29 de abril, 2016 Aceptado: 30 de enero, 2017 CULTURAL CONTEXTS IN WORLDWIDE CONTEMPORARY ANGLICANISM: BEYOND THE ANGLICAN COVENANT Contextos culturales en el anglicanismo global contemporáneo: más allá del pacto anglicano Daniel Muñoz Triviño* Facultad de Teología Protestante de Madrid (SEUT, Fundación Federico Fliedner) [email protected] Abstract This research study attempts to explore the role that the notion of culture has played both, in the recent crisis within the Anglican Communion over issues of human sexuality, and in Anglican self- understanding more generally. I pay particular attention to the cultural transitions and clashes in different geo-social contexts, and to the dynamics between postmodern and postcolonial worldviews. The methodology employed here follows an inductive comparative analysis of the documents connected with the Anglican Covenant (2009). To date, there is no other academic investigation that has offered an in depth analysis of these texts as culturally contextualized identity articulations. The findings reveal a diversity of approaches to culture and a complex series of cultural clashes and alignments within this family of churches. Keywords: Anglican Identity, Anglican Covenant, Church and Culture. Resumen Este estudio de investigación intenta explorar el papel que el concepto de cultura ha jugado tanto en la reciente crisis interna de la Comunión Anglicana, provocada por asuntos de sexualidad humana, como en la auto-comprensión de lo que significa ser anglicano. Presto especial atención a los choques y transiciones culturales en varios contextos geo-sociales, y a las dinámicas entre las cosmovisiones postmodernas y postcoloniales.
