Order of Service Prelude Prelude on “Sine Nomine” Phil Lehenbauer The people stand, as able. Opening Hymn: 287, v. 1-4, 7-8, “For all the saints, who from their labors rest” Sine Nomine Officiant: You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but citizens together with the saints and members of the household of God. Ephesians 2:191 Officiant: Lord, open our lips. People: And our mouth shall proclaim your praise. All: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Venite, S 34 Plainsong Tone 4 The people sit. Psalm 34:1‐10,22 Benedicam Dominum I will bless the Lord at all times; * The angel of the Lord encompasses those who fear him, * his praise shall ever be in my mouth. and he will deliver them. I will glory in the Lord; * Taste and see that the Lord is good; * let the humble hear and rejoice. happy are they who trust in him! Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord; * Fear the Lord, you that are his saints, * let us exalt his Name together. for those who fear him lack nothing. I sought the Lord, and he answered me * The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * and delivered me out of all my terror. but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. Look upon him and be radiant, * The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, * and let not your faces be ashamed. and none will be punished who trust in him. I called in my affliction and the Lord heard me * and saved me from all my troubles. All: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. First Readings: Revelation 7:9-17 After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen." Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?" I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows." Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. "For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." The people stand. Canticle O: A Song of the Heavenly City Revelation 21:22-26, 22:1-4 Spoken I saw no temple in the city, * for its temple is the God of I saw the clean river of the water of life, bright as crystal, * surpassing strength and the Lamb. flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to light it, * for the The tree of life spanned the river, giving fruit every month, * glory of God shines on it, and its lamp is the Lamb. and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of nations. All By its light the nations shall walk, * and the rulers of the world curses cease where the throne of God and the Lamb stands, lay their honor and glory there. and all servants give worship there; * there they will see God’s Its gates shall never be shut by day, nor shall there be any face, whose Name shall be on their foreheads. night; * into it they will bring the honor and glory of nations. The people sit. Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. The people stand. Canticle N, A Song of God’s Love 1 John 4:7-11 Spoken Beloved, let us love one another, * for love is of God. that God loved us * and sent his Son that sins might be Whoever does not love does not know God, * for God is forgiven.

For if we love one another, God God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live abides in us, * and God’s love will be perfected in us. through Jesus Christ. In this is love, not that we loved God but The Holy Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The Homily The Rev.

  • Morris King Thompson, Jr
    The Holy Eucharist with The Ordination and Consecration of Morris King Thompson, Jr. As a Bishop in the Church of God and Eleventh Bishop of Louisiana Saturday, May 8, 2010 10:00 AM Christ Church Cathedral New Orleans, Louisiana The People of God and Their Bishop In Christianity’s early centuries, bishops presided over urban churches, functioning as pastors to the Christians of their city and the surrounding countryside. Everyone came into the city on Sunday to participate in the urban liturgy as presided over by the local bishop. These bishops were also our chief theologians, reflecting on the faith in the context of their people’s lives and experiences. It was not until between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries that the parish priest became the usual person to preside over the Eucharistic assembly. The Greek word episcopacy (επισϰοπή) provides the origin of the word “episcopal.” In Greek, the word is related to the idea of visitation, specifically a divine revelation. It came to mean “overseer.” In English, the word means “of or relating to bishops.” In our scriptures, “overseer” was used somewhat interchangeably with the word “elder” (πϱϵσβυτέϱουϛ, presbyteros, from which comes the word priest), for one who leads the fledgling Christian community and holds to sound doctrine despite the danger presented by false teachers (see I Timothy 3:1-7, II Timothy 1:6-10, Titus 1:5-9 and I Peter 5:1-11). The images of a bishop in our Book of Common Prayer are derived from this history. As you will hear in this ordination liturgy, the bishop is understood to be our chief priest and presider of the diocese as well as its chief pastor.

  • 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.

  • A Primer on the Government of the Episcopal Church and Its Underlying Theology
    A Primer on the government of The Episcopal Church and its underlying theology offered by the Ecclesiology Committee of the House of Bishops Fall 2013 The following is an introduction to how and why The Episcopal Church came to be, beginning in the United States of America, and how it seeks to continue in “the faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Rooted in the original expansion of the Christian faith, the Church developed a distinctive character in England, and further adapted that way of being Church for a new context in America after the Revolution. The Episcopal Church has long since grown beyond the borders of the United States, with dioceses in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador (Central and Litoral), Haiti, Honduras, Micronesia, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Venezuela and Curacao, and the Virgin Islands, along with a Convocation of churches in six countries in Europe. In all these places, Episcopalians have adapted for their local contexts the special heritage and mission passed down through the centuries in this particular part of the Body of Christ. “Ecclesiology,” the study of the Church in the light of the self-revelation of God in Jesus Christ, is the Church’s thinking and speaking about itself. It involves reflection upon several sources: New Testament images of the Church (of which there are several dozen); the history of the Church in general and that of particular branches within it; various creeds and confessional formulations; the structure of authority; the witness of saints; and the thoughts of theologians. Our understanding of the Church’s identity and purpose invariably intersects with and influences to a large extent how we speak about God, Christ, the Spirit, and ourselves in God’s work of redemption.

  • Good Shepherd United Methodist Church
    Good Shepherd United Methodist Church 1201 Leta Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80911 (719) 392-5782 Good Shepherd United Methodist Church – January 2020 Thoughts from Terilynn UMC SCHISM IS INEVITABLE Like an impending divorce due to “irreconcilable differences,” the United Methodist Church is preparing to split. The clashing over LGBTQ inclusion has reached the defining moment this year. Decisions must be made as to how to split, when and who gets what. The General Conference meets in Minneapolis, Minnesota May 5-20, 2020. The number of legislative plans to be considered is daunting. Plans designed to hold as much of the UMC together as possible, keep the name, and the cross-flame emblem. Plans to organize 2 to 4 different Methodist splinters and create a United Methodist umbrella. Plans for gracious and amicable exits which allow churches to take property, clergy credentials and membership to form new denominations. Depending on legislative decisions made at Minneapolis GC2020 as well as the Judicial Council’s rubberstamp, schisms could be neatly organized or a disorganized walk out-walk away. For Methodists who would have preferred to not deal with disagreements over LGBTQ inclusion in membership, marriage, and ministry, the disturbance is moving closer to the local church’s backyard. Most plans call for individual congregations to choose which way their members will go. To know more about the future of the United Methodist Church and how it could affect Good Shepherd, our church leaders are hosting a district-wide focus group session on Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. All United Methodists are invited to meet with facilitators Rev.

  • The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853
    The American Church and the Formation of the Anglican Communion, 1823-1853 By the Reverend Robert Semple Bosher, Ph.D. Evanston, Illinois: Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, 1962 I In John Dryden’s poem The Hind and the Panther, there is a passage that ridicules the Church of England for her friendless isolation in Christendom: “Thus, like a creature of a double kind, In her own labyrinth she lives confined; To foreign lands no sound of her is come, Humbly content to be despised at home.” But a century and a half later, we find John Henry Newman quoting those same lines, and asserting: “That day of rebuke is passed. That which is fruitful lives; the English Church, the desolate one, has children . This is our own special rejoicing in our American relations; we see our own faces reflected back to us in them, and we know that we live. We have proof that the Church, of which we are, is not the mere creation of the State, but has an independent life, with a kind of her own, and fruit after her own kind. Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles; the stream does not rise higher than the spring; if her daughter can be, though the State does not protect, the mother too could bear to be deserted by it ... The American Church is our pride as well as our consolation.”1 The special role of the American Church in the evolution of modern Anglicanism has not been fully recognized, largely because the history of the Anglican Communion has not yet been written.
