  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • The Martyrs of Japan, 1597: Mass February 5, 2021 by the Reverend Stephen Gerth Galatians 2:19–20; Psalm 116:1–8; Mark 8:34–38
    The Martyrs of Japan, 1597: Mass February 5, 2021 By the Reverend Stephen Gerth Galatians 2:19–20; Psalm 116:1–8; Mark 8:34–38 Last year while preparing a sermon for Palm Sunday, that is, the Sunday of the Passion, I came across an explanation for why the cross isn’t found as a common symbol in early Christian art. Unfortunately, when I wanted to refer to later, I couldn’t find the reference. I hope my luck is better this year. The online Encyclopedia Britannica states that crucifixion was banned by the Emperor Constantine in the early fourth century in honor of the cross. But realistic portrayals of his crucifixion do not begin until the early fifth century.1 The explanation that I came across last year stated that crucifixion was such a cruel and horrible punishment that it needed to pass out of living memory before Jesus’ suffering could become part of the devotional life of believers. Crucifixion was introduced in Japan in the fifteenth century. Perhaps it arrived in that part of the world via the Silk Road trade route between the West and the East?2 I was horrified to learn this morning that during World War II three starving Allied prisoners of war were crucified for stealing a cow. They were wired to trees and beaten with a baseball bat. Two died. One, an Australian, survived 63 hours before being taken down. Other prisoners had managed to give them food and water while they were alive.3 In my copy of The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church there is an entry for “Christianity in Japan.”4 Francis Xavier, from a Spanish noble family, 1 https://www.britannica.com/topic/crucifixion-capital-punishment, (accessed 5 February 2021).

SACRED SPACE AND RITUAL IN EARLY MODERN JAPAN: THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY OF NAGASAKI (1569-1643) CARLA TRONU MONTANE Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2012 Department of History School of Oriental and African Studies University of London 2 Abstract This thesis argues that the production of sacred space and ritual is crucial to understanding the formation of Christian communities in early modern Japan. An analysis of the production of churches in Japan (chapter 1) lays the ground for a thorough exploration of the particular case of the Christian community of Nagasaki from 1569 to 1643 in the following chapters, I first address how Christians were involved in the foundation and design of the port and town, with a church as its symbolic centre (chapter 2), and the consequences for the Christian community when the administration rights over Nagasaki were donated to the Jesuits in 1580 (chapter 3).
