Cathedral Day Cathedral Day The Holy Eucharist commemorating the 112th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone Sunday, September 29, 2019 11:15 am washington national cathedral september 29, 1907 Workers laid the Cathedral’s foundation stone on September 29, 1907, the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels. President Theodore Roosevelt and the Bishop of London spoke to a crowd of ten thousand. The foundation stone came from a field near Bethlehem and was set into a larger piece of American granite. Its inscription reads: “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). Today with special music, readings, and prayers, we celebrate the history and mission of this House of Prayer for All People. The National Cathedral Association The first “Cathedral Committees” were formed in 1899 to help secure the land atop Mount St. Alban for the new cathedral, eight years before the laying of the Cathedral’s foundation stone. Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee charged the fledgling network of supporters with a call to “evoke interest among all the churchmen of America in the Cathedral at the National Capital.” The earliest regional National Cathedral Association (NCA) committees provided “encouragement and moral support” as well as much-needed funds to cover the mortgage on the property. The NCA was officially recognized on October 10, 1933, “to advance the interests of and to solicit funds and gifts for [the Cathedral] and to disseminate information for charitable, educational, and religious purposes” on the Cathedral’s behalf. As the NCA grew in size, organizing committees were formed in each diocese of The Episcopal Church. Regional volunteer leaders and an NCA board of trustees provided structure as rank-and-file NCA members served as Cathedral ambassadors. The NCA contributed funds for constructing the north transept Women’s Porch, the seventh-floor Pilgrim Observation Gallery, the NCA bay in the nave, and the NCA flying buttress. In addition, NCA members made contributions of metalwork, needlework, stained glass, and statuary throughout the Cathedral. The Cathedral’s many guidebooks and other publications have historically been funded with NCA support as part of its mission to inspire love for the Cathedral in each new generation. On this Cathedral Day we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the National Cathedral Association The Holy Eucharist Commemorating the 112th Anniversary of the Laying of the Foundation Stone Worship lies at the heart of the Christian life. It is in worship that we express our theology and define our identity. It is through encountering God within worship that we are formed and transformed as the people of God. One of the glories of the Episcopal Church is its liturgical worship. Liturgy refers to the patterns, forms, words, and actions through which public worship is conducted. The people’s responses are in bold. This type of note, offering directions about the service is called a “rubric,” which comes from the Latin word rubrica (red)—referring to a time when these instructional notes were always written in red. The Entrance Rite When the service is accompanied by music, it often begins with an instrumental piece of music, during which the congregation can prepare for worship. carillon prelude Te Deum Laudamus Roy Hamlin Johnson (b. 1929) organ voluntary Prelude on “Urbs beata” Richard Wayne Dirksen (1921-2003) The people remain seated during the introit. introit My house shall be called a house of prayer Douglas Major (b. 1953) My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.

Amen. the collect for purity This prayer was an English rendering of a Latin prayer that began the liturgy in the medieval church before the Reformation. It remains a distinctive part of Episcopal worship to this day.

It summarizes the attributes of God as revealed in the scriptures for the day. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. Almighty God, to whose glory we celebrate the dedication of this house of prayer: We give you thanks for the fellowship of those who have worshiped in this place, and we pray that all who seek you here may find you, and be filled with your joy and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. collect for the apostles peter and paul, patrons of this cathedral church Almighty God, whose blessed apostles Peter and Paul glorified you by their martyrdom: Grant that your Church, instructed by their teaching and example, and knit together in unity by your Spirit, may ever stand firm upon the one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The people are seated. the old testament reading Read by Joi L. Rutherford. Ruth 1:1-18 This reading is typically from the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures) which Jesus knew and from which he often referred or quoted. In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there. But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. These took Moabite wives; the name of one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. When they had lived there for about ten years, both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the woman was left without her two sons or her husband. Then she started to return with her daughters-in-law from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had had consideration for his people and given them food. So she set out from the place where she had been living, she and her two daughters-in-law, and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah. But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back each of you to your mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find security, each of you in the house of your husband.” Then she kissed them, and they wept aloud. They said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.” But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? Turn back, my daughters, go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me, even if I should have a husband tonight and bear sons, would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, it has been far more bitter for me than for you, because the hand of the Lord has turned against me.” Then they wept aloud again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. So she said,” See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said, “Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die—there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!” When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her. The Word of the Lord.

  • The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and The
    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and the Margins of English Gothic Architecture MATTHEW M. REEVE For Eric Fernie This paper considers the sculpted capitals in Wells cathedral. Although integral to the early Gothic fabric, they have hitherto eluded close examination as either a component of the building or as an important cycle of ecclesiastical imagery in their own right. Consideration of the archaeological evidence suggests that the capitals were introduced mid-way through the building campaigns and were likely the products of the cathedral’s masons rather than part of an original scheme for the cathedral as a whole. Possible sources for the images are considered. The distribution of the capitals in lay and clerical spaces of the cathedral leads to discussion of how the imagery might have been meaningful to diCerent audiences on either side of the choir screen. introduction THE capital sculpture of Wells Cathedral has the dubious honour of being one of the most frequently published but least studied image cycles in English medieval art. The capitals of the nave, transepts, and north porch of the early Gothic church are ornamented with a rich array of figural sculptures ranging from hybrid human-animals, dragons, and Old Testament prophets, to representations of the trades that inhabit stiC-leaf foliage, which were originally highlighted with paint (Figs 1, 2).1 The capitals sit upon a highly sophisticated pier design formed by a central cruciform support with triple shafts at each termination and in the angles, which oCered the possibility for a range of continuous and individual sculpted designs in the capitals above (Fig.

  • The Selection of Bishops: Exploring Canonical Alternatives
    The Selection of Bishops: Exploring Canonical Alternatives John Huels, OSM Richard R. Gaillardetz In this essay we will address an issue of church polity. While doctrinal disputes on questions related to justification, the filioque or sacramental theology have received more attention, it is the concrete questions of church polity which may constitute the greater obstacle to the achievement of full visible union among the Christian churches. With that in mind we will focus our attention on the concrete processes related to the selection of bishops. While this might seem a fairly secondary, administrative concern, in fact, the current procedures for the selection of bishops, insofar as they reinforce perceptions of the Catholic church as a monolithic, quasi-monarchical institution, play a highly symbolic role in ecumenical dialogue. A significant revision of these procedures might go a long way towards dispelling these perceptions. We recognize, of course, that not all Christian churches acknowledge the need for an episcopate which succeeds to the authority of the college of apostles. On the other hand, the last two decades have seen a growing convergence in ecumenical dialogue toward affirming the value of such an episcopate. The influential Lima document, Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry, affirmed the importance of episcopal ministry and called for those Christian traditions without an episcopate to reconsider their position on Selection of Bishops -- 2 this question.1 A revision of current canonical procedures within the Roman Catholic church, to the extent that they would clarify the nature of the episcopate as an apostolic service to the church, might help these traditions decide in favor of such an episcopate.

  • The Statutes of the Cathedral Chapter of Vilnius Before the Partition of Poland
    HISTORY OF THE CHURCH Rocznik Teologii Katolickiej, tom XIX, rok 2020 Rev. Tadeusz Kasabuła University of Białystok DOI: 10.15290/rtk.2020.19.13 0000-0003-3731-5324 The Statutes of the Cathedral Chapter of Vilnius Before the Partition of Poland After being canonically erected in 1388, the Cathedral Chapter of Vilnius did not have any recognized privileges or land grants. It subsisted exclusively off of the bishop of Vilnius’ bona mensae, and it followed the Cathedral Chapter of Cracow’s example with regard to its organization, internal structure, activi- ties, and relationship with the diocesan bishop. Having certain privileges and revenue at its disposal in the 15th century, the canonical corporation of Vilnius began to seek greater legitimacy. It was not until 1515, however, that Bishop Wojciech Radziwiłł ordered that the Chapter write up its rights and duties in the form of statutes and that the Holy See approve them. Pope Leo X subse- quently approved the Cathedral Chapter of Vilnius’ statutes through his legate Bishop Zacharias Ferreri on November 29, 1520. The papal confirmation gave the Cathedral Chapter of Vilnius strong legal standing that no one, with the exception of the Holy See, could violate or change. The statutes strengthened the Chapter’s position in relation to the diocesan bishop, which turned out to be both in accordance with the spirit of the times and, with time, affirmed by the Council of Trent (1545-1563). Key words: Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Vilnius, cathedral chapter, statute, legal norm, confirmation, Holy See. Cathedral chapters were not always institutions established to gov- ern the diocese.

THE CANON LAWYER AND THE LOCAL CHURCH REV. JOSEPH N. PERRY* INTRODUCTION Innovations and shifts in church order since the Second Vatican Ecu- menical Council (1962-1965) have created situations in which ordained and non-ordained members of the People of God necessarily interact more frequently. Especially at the level of the local diocese, new concep- tions of the cooperative relationship between the bishop and other mem- bers of the local church have been introduced by the weighty decrees of Lumen Gentium and Christus Dominus. Law and legal institutions form an essential part of the nature and mission of the Church. Canon lawyers are among the key experts who assist the bishop in his shepherding role. Indeed, canonists have recently been thinking a great deal about their role in guiding contemporary legal development. This article will explore the position of the canon lawyer in the post- conciliar Church. Topics addressed are: (1) the canonist as a professional; (2) the canonist's relationship with the residential bishop; and (3) a look at some future projections of canonical ministry.

Metaphors have de-ined the relationship of a bishop and his diocese since Apostolic times. From the earliest church a bishop was the head of a community, the pastor, the shepherd who cared for his -lock. His relationship to that community was based on the recognition that his leadership was personal, caring, and mutual. The shepherd needs -lock; the -lock needs a shepherd. The bishop was the pastor of his community, the shepherd of the -lock who defended them from the wolves of the community and from the dangers of the outside world.

  • Preliminary Report to the Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral from the Cathedral Discernment Task Force
    PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE CHAPTER OF CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL FROM THE CATHEDRAL DISCERNMENT TASK FORCE APRIL 14, 2015 In July 2014, Bishop Ian Douglas convened the Cathedral Discernment Task Force and issued the following two-part charge: What type of cathedral, if any, is needed by the ECCT as it lives more fully into the 21st Century? What is the vocation, going forward, of Christ Church Cathedral? Rather than address these questions in the abstract, the Task Force decided to focus, initially, on purpose and function. What should cathedrals “be” in this day and age? What, if anything, is their purpose? And what should cathedrals “do”? What functions should they perform for the benefit of the whole church within their ecclesial boundaries? Once purpose and function become clear, the Task Force will be in a position to discern what kind of cathedral, if any, is needed by the ECCT going forward, and to discern what that vision says about the future of Christ Church Cathedral. The Task Force began its work by reading up on the history of cathedrals, in England and the United States. What has been their purpose? What has been their function? Have these changed over time? If so, why, and in what ways? The Task Force also reviewed a wide range of commentary on the nature of cathedrals. Next, the Task Force solicited input from the Cathedral Chapter in October 2014 and from the Cathedral congregation in November. In December, the Task Force took its show on the road, beginning with a joint leadership gathering of the Executive Council, Standing Committee, Commission on Ministry, and Donations and Bequests Board.
