The keynote speaker was the Rev’d Laurel Johnston, Stewardship Officer for the Episcopal Church. She spoke about understanding stewardship in its widest and most fundamental sense as simply “about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.” This perspective was not new to me; nor—I hazard to say—to the other members of our parish who were there. It is the way we have been thinking about stewardship for some time at the Church of the Saviour. Stewardship is our gracious, generous response to God’s extraordinary goodness. However, Rev’d Johnston also described stewardship as “reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.” This really made me think, especially as I began to contemplate our celebration and observance of Easter. In so many ways Easter is the story and season of abundance as we celebrate God’s lavish unleashing of the divine re-creative energies in the resurrection of Jesus, and thus signaling that all things are being made new. Those who miss out on its message in the Easter stories are usually those who are living fearful lives of scarcity: the two disciples fleeing from Jerusalem on the road to Emmaus, Thomas unwilling to trust his fellows, Judas unable to imagine the truly gracious God’s love and forgiveness, the women in the Gospel of Mark who on finding the tomb empty “went out and fle d from the tomb [terrified]…and they said nothing to anyone for they were afraid.” Yet, in all but one of these stories, grace, abundance and joy ultimately win over fear and scarcity. Those disciples on the road to Emmaus see Jesus in the sharing of food; Thomas is able to recognize him when Jesus opens to him the reality of his wounds; the women all ultimately discover the truth of what they saw and lavishly share that truth with the other disciples. Only Judas seems cut-off from the the abundant life symbolized in the resurrection, because he is unwilling or unable to contemplate that God’s extravagant grace is more powerful than the poverty of his own sin and betryal. In all but this latter case, “relationships are built from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.” Thinking about stewardship in this light we find the many ways in which a perspective of abundance triumphs over one of scarcity, and how 4 such a perspective may enable us to ask some questions about our own relationships with and attitudes towards abundance and scarcity. One thing about abundance in its many forms is that it always surprises us. We find it in unexpected places: on dusty roads, empty tombs, in places not usually considered fruitful. It is the fact that we tend to work from a default position of scarcity that often prevents us from seeing abundance. The Good News of the resurrection challenges our categories of both abundance and scarcity: the scarcity of the cross is ultimately revealed to be the source of abundant life. The resurrection challenges our ideas of stewardship, by widening our viewpoint as we consider its meaning and nature. Stewardship becomes more than an exercise in meeting the budget, but foundational to living the resurrection life entered into at our baptism. It becomes foundation to our living in right relationship with God, each other, and all of creation. Abundance is Abundance is everywhere when we choose to see it as such, and Easter everywhere when calls us to interpret the world along we choose to see it the lines of abundance rather than as such, and Easter scarcity. calls us to interpret If we think about our own the world along the church community and look around with resurrection eyes, we can see so lines of abundance much abundance: our beautiful rather than campus, the many new people who scarcity. are finding their way to our doors and into our buildings, the exciting hustle and bustle brought about by the sometimes difficult challenges we encounter and overcome. Moreover, no matter what the apparent difficulties, we always seem to make it. And we always find ourselves marvelously surprised—maybe we shouldn’t—that we do make it. Without a doubt, we are a community who struggles with finances, but at the same time we usually look beyond our “scarcity” to discern how we can live out of our abundance to enable fellowship and service. This sort of perspective is what makes for year round stewardship, and we will all be hearing more about this in the coming weeks and months. So, keep your eyes open, your ears honed, and perhaps be disposed to being a little surprised. The great blessing of Easter is the unleashing of God’s abundant life in the world. An attitude of scarcity never serves anyone well, particularly those who seek to follow him who came that we might have life, and have it abundantly. ( cf . John 10:10) 5 A W ORD FROM THE WARDEN by Jere Harper My last two articles have been on group dynamics. The first of four stages in this group dynamics model is “forming” which I discussed last month. I'll continue this month with the second stage, "storming". Once a group has formed, "storming", or challenging the existing norms of the group, usually happens. The recent diocesan leadership training in Fresno that Father Luis, Jeff March, Terry Poindexter and I attended related in part to "storming". Cannon Kate shared with us good rules for group interaction called Listening Hearts Guidelines . I'll describe some of these guidelines and my experiences concerning them. "Take time to become settled in God's presence." Father Luis leads us in doing this several times during our monthly vestry meetings through planned silences. This is a great investment before and during group discussions. I do this sometimes when substitute teaching before my class enters. It helps me set the emotional tone for the students. Of course, with high school students, much more than this is needed, but it is a good start. "Speak for yourself only, expressing your own thoughts and feelings, referring to your own experiences." During my career at AT&T, I attended an executive seminar with a client of mine. The seminar leader spoke to this concept when he said: "Let others do their own talking." When criticisms or disagreements arise, the other should go directly to the person being challenged and give his/her input. This practice reduces gossip and provides clear, direct feedback from the sender to the receiver of the message. Triangulation occurs when the other does not have their “storming” time with the intended recipient, but asks you to deliver the message. Do your own talking. Let others do theirs. "Listen to others with your entire self (senses, feelings, intuition, imagination, and rational faculties." In other words, always try to be "in the moment" when engaged in discussion with others. It lets them know that you value 6 what they have to say and who they are. This is a concept that I have particular difficulty with, but it's amazing how rewarding conversations are when I follow this guideline. "Pause between speakers to absorb what has been said." When practiced, this allows me to process first and reduces my impulse to say something not so brilliant—a problem I often have, as those who know me will attest to. "Do not formulate what you want to say while someone else is speaking." As I occasionally say when teaching high school math: "Give me your undivided attention." Of course, this means that whoever is speaking is owed the group's complete focus. This guideline is another part of being "in the moment" and allows me to convey the respect I have for the person that is talking. "Storming" is an important step in the group development process, and should never be avoided, but should be done appropriately. By using these Listening Hearts Guidelines at Church of the Saviour , "storming" can create a positive, open atmosphere that allows new members and old to communicate openly as they get to know and understand each other, or in other words, as they “norm”. 7 NOTES FROM THE ORGAN BENCH by Dennis Flynn Many of us are familiar with the hymn tune “Darwall” which we will be singing as a closing hymn on April 7th.

  • MORNING PRAYER Thursday April 2
    ! Welcome to Morning Prayer with the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. A few notes about today's service.

MORNING PRAYER FROM THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER April 2, 2020 The Fifth Thursday in Lent JAMES LLOYD BRECK, Priest, Educator, and Missionary, 1876 Opening Sentence The Officiant says Lent Jesus said,” If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Mark 8:34 Confession of Sin BCP 79 Officiant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. A period of silence is kept. All say together Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Bishop says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 The ‘Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i’ began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the Anglican church of Hawai’i, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became a missionary district within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists over 50 clergy who passed through Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese of Honolulu more than a year or two. Many biographies reveal visionary hopes and bitter disappointments. Several lives are shadowy to the point of invisibility. At the end of the sections in the biographies, bracketed numbers indicate the sources of preceding information. The Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes some 1,650 priests) may be found on the Kinder library website, in Auckland New Zealand. These bracketed numbers are there given bibliographical substance in a document accompanying the biographical directory. The compiler points out that this directory has been researched and compiled without funding. I am very grateful to the hundreds of correspondents and agencies who have voluntarily assisted me on this work since the early 1990s. The compiler welcomes corrections and additions sent to [email protected]. Such will be incorporated in the master-copy held in Wellington New Zealand, and in due course in the online version of this directory with Project Canterbury.

  • Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross
    Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross By Lewis Wright He has instituted at Valle Crucis a monastic order . composed of persons bound to him by a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience. He has given to the members, as their peculiar dress, a black cassock extending from the throat to the ankle. He allows to be placed on the altar a pyx, in which are reserved the remaining consecrated elements after a communion . there is used at Valle Crucis in a little manual of devotions . prayers to the Virgin Mary and the Saints. He has announced to two of his clergy an intention to send a “penitentiary” through the parishes in the Diocese to receive the confessions of the people.1 THESE CRITICISMS of the Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867), bishop of North Carolina, were made in 1849 by George Edmond Badger, a prominent layman, lawyer and United States senator from Raleigh, North Carolina. Several accounts have been written of the life of Bishop Ives, a cradle Presbyterian who converted to the Episcopal Church. Ives served as the second bishop of North Carolina (1831-1852) and spent the last fifteen years of his life as a Roman Catholic layman (1852-1867).2 These accounts have included few details of the Society of the Holy Cross and of the bishop’s beloved mission-monastery outpost in the wilderness of the North Carolina mountains, which he called Valle Crucis Abbey.3 On an evening in late October or early November, 1847, at St.

    June 13-14, 2019 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Lisa Swan Director of Marketing & Communications Nashotah House Theological Seminary Office: 262-646-6509 [email protected] The Rev. Dr. Greg Peters Nashotah House Appoints Dr. Greg Peters as Servants of Christ Research Professor of Monastic Studies and Chair to its First Annual International Conference June 13-14, 2019 NASHOTAH, WISCONSIN, (December 13, 2018) Nashotah House is excited to announce its first annual international conference, the James Lloyd Breck Conference on Monastism and the Church. This year’s conference theme, "The Monastic Call of Every Christian,” will explore the idea that the foundation of all forms of religious life, consecrated or lay, is the sacrament of baptism. Held at Nashotah House, the conference will provide an intimate forum to investigate this reality and its implications for the life and ministry of all Christians. The annual Breck Conference on Monasticism and the Church and appointment of Dr. Peters is made possible by a generous endowment granted to Nashotah House in 2017, extending the legacy of The St. Benedict Servants of Christ into perpetuity for the advancement of the Religious Life, especially within Anglicanism. "My hope is to continue Nashotah House's longstanding commitment to take seriously personal holiness and service in the Church. Monasticism has a lot to teach the twenty-first century and through the newly endowed Breck Conference we will be able to investigate monastic history for the express purpose of recovering its riches for today's church. To do this at Nashotah House reinforces the school's commitment to the Christian tradition and to the 'real preparation' of ecclesial ministers,” shared Peters.
