  • May 2021 Mustardseed
    - A GRAIN OF MUSTARDSEED - Dear Friends in Christ: May 2021 Notwithstanding the continued strictures of the COVID-19 pandemic (vaccinations numbers are up, but so are reported infections in our County and region), May brings a season of religious feasting and celebration: We call to remembrance many of the saving acts of our Lord and Savior; we commemorate the lives and sacrifices of saints and saintly brethren, we pray, as is particularly timely this year, for God’s renewal of His creation. St. Philip and St. James’ Feast is kept with Holy Communion on Saturday, the 1st. Rogation Sunday is on the 9th and we observe the day by singing the Litany in Procession around the precincts of our property (current protocols allow to ‘belt it out’ when outside and wearing masks…so let’s do our best!). In so doing we pray God’s blessing upon his creation in this place wherein He has called us to proclaim Christ’s renewing grace. The three Rogation Days (from the Latin “rogare:” “to ask/pray”) follow, bringing us to the close of Eastertide on Ascension Day on Thursday the 13th (Communion services at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm). Ten days of Ascensiontide carry us to Whitsunday (Pentecost) on the 23rd and the octave of that feast gives us Whit Monday, Whit Tuesday and then three Ember Days on the 26th, 28th and 29th. The Feast of the Holy and Undivided Trinity is kept on Sunday the 30th. We round out the month by praying for the repose of the souls of those who have given their lives in the service of our Nation with a requiem on Memorial Day, May 31st at 8:00 am (not our usual 10:00 time as Fr.

  • The Feast of Corpus Christi in the West Country
    Early Theatre 6.1(2003) . The Feast of Corpus Christi in the West Country The feast of Corpus Christi, a late addition to the medieval calendar of festivals, was established in the thirteenth century as a response to the new eucharistic doctrine of transubstantiation. As Miri Rubin has shown in her rich study of the eucharist in late medieval culture, the energy for the establishment of the feast came, not from the hierarchy, but from the laity and the clergy who served them. It was the Beguines of Liege, inspired by the eucharistic visions of Juliana of Cornillon, who first sought to establish a special feast to honour the real presence of Christ in the sacrament.1 But the local bishop showed little interest in the feast and it was the Dominicans who spread the new celebration beyond Liege.2 It was not until Pope Urban IV championed the feast in his bull Transiturus in 1264, arguing that the day of the institution of the sacrament should be celebrated ‘not in sorrow in the Passion week, but on another, joyful, occasion’,3 that the feast gained real recognition. It reached England in the early fourteenth century, with the earliest references to its celebration coming from the west country, first in the dioceses of Bath and Wells and Gloucester in 1318 and in the diocese of Exeter in 1320.4 Dioceses across the country soon enthusiastically adopted Corpus Christi, adding a new festival to the progression of spring and summer events that began with Easter and ended with Midsummer or the feast of St John the Baptist, 24 June.

  • Holy Trinity: a Walking, Witnessing Church
    No. 30: ‘Holy Trinity: a walking, witnessing church’ Holy Trinity, is named after the Christian doctrine of the Trinity which is the belief that God is one God, but three ‘coeternal consubstantial persons’, - the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit - as "one God in three Divine Persons". The three Persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature". In this context, a "nature" is what one is, whereas a "person" is who one is. The developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the New Testament, but the New Testament possesses a "triadic" understanding of God and contains a number of Trinitarian formulas. The doctrine of the Trinity was first formulated among the early Christians and fathers of the Church as early Christians attempted to understand the relationship between Jesus and God in their scriptural documents and prior traditions. I remember trying to teach this (probably unsuccessfully!) to a Sunday-school group of 6 year olds many years ago; in truth the Trinity is a deep mystery and difficult to comprehend! The church year celebrates the Trinity on the Sunday after Pentecost (Trinity Sunday), which is 8 weeks after Easter. Pentecost is the festival when the church celebrates the Holy Spirit blessing and empowering the disciples after Jesus’s Ascension to heaven. This kick-started the early church into its witness to the world and this has been taken as the ‘birthday’ of the Christian church. The day of Pentecost has also traditionally been known as ‘Whit Sunday’ and there are a number of suggested reasons for this name.

If this is your 2rst time worshipping in an Anglican parish, then there are two things I wish to share: First, everything about our worship is patterned after heaven. 3e basic architecture of our building, the songs we sing, the reverent order of the service, and especially the celebration of the Holy Communion; all are a participation in the realities which are found in heaven. As you will hear in the liturgy, we gather together to lift up our hearts to worship Almighty God in and through Jesus Christ our Lord. Second, the Bible is our foundation for worship. Holy Scripture reveals to us what heaven is really like and what worship is found there. Our liturgy 4ows from Holy Scripture and is saturated with it. I’m con2dent you will never 2nd a more biblical worship service than the one which you are about to participate. 3e entire liturgy for this Sunday is contained in this booklet. All of the words for the congregation to say are printed in bold type. Instructions and service notes are printed in italics. All of the hymn numbers correspond to the hymnal in the pew. Please 2ll out a WELCOME CARD in the pew rack and drop it in the o5ering plate so we have a record of your attendance, and do not hesitate to make an usher aware of how we can serve you.

    St Mary the Virgin EWELL PARISH CHURCH Tel. 020 8393 2643 www.stmarysewell.com WEEKLY NOTES 4 June 2006 THE DAY OF PENTECOST WHITSUNDAY HOLY SPIRIT IN HOLY CHURCH The last day of Eastertide Sponsors’ Note: Our daughter Sarah will be married to Dr Chris Bradley at St Mary’s next Saturday, 10 June at 15.00. All are warmly invited to attend the service. Jenny and David Dance The symbolism in the account of the Day of Pentecost in the Acts of the Apostles is striking and challenging. Wind and fire are both powerful in operation, and more so when they act together. The most powerful example of such a combination is when the Wind of Heaven and the Fire of Divine Love act together. The Pentecostal ‘Descent of the Dove’ (what a contrasting image!) tells of the divine mixture of power and gentleness. The Holy Spirit is Comforter and ‘Exhorter’; the Greek word is the same for both, and from it we get the technical word in the Christian vocabulary, the Paraclete . Here in our midst the Spirit makes real Christ’s abiding presence with us, and also comes to galvanise us into Spirit-led and Spirit-filled activity. Pentecost is the great festival of mission: the hymn ‘We have a gospel to proclaim’ is significantly the last hymn at the Sung Eucharist today – at the ‘send us out’ stage. The Big Bang of Pentecost has sent its sound-waves rippling throughout the world, and two thousand years later those ripples have embraced us, and moved us onwards.
