MARY’S ANGLICAN CHURCH PARISH HALL TACARIGUA, TRINIDAD OPENING SERVICE: THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY, POS TRINIDAD WEDNESDAY May 4, 2016 - SATURDAY MAY 7, 2016 Theme: “‘Stewardship: Nurturing Boys, Forming Men for God’s Kingdom.’ Wednesday May 4, 2015 - Opening Service The Opening Service of Synod began with a Procession and Eucharistic Service at The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, POS at which Clergy, Lay Ministers, Parishioners and specially invited guests, from throughout Trinidad & Tobago participated. The congregation totaled 360 persons of whom 350 were Communicants. Among those in attendance was The President of the Republic of T&T, President Anthony Thomas Carmona, Mrs Webster Roy, Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister, representing the Prime Minister and the Minster of Labour, Mrs. Jennifer Baptiste Primus. SERMON The Rt. Rev. Claude Berkley, Bishop of Trinidad & Tobago, delivered the Sermon. He noted that this was the first mass of the Feast of the Ascension, which marks the return of Jesus to the Father in heaven. He added that it is considered one of the Principal Feasts observed in our Church. He quoted from Hebrews 9:24: ‘For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.’ He explained that this celebration of the return of the Christ to the Father highlighted the concept of completion in mission, amplifying the hope that Easter raises and provides a fuller picture of God’s saving action. Hence it can be treated as a template for our own indelible connection to the work of God’s Mission He added that the story reveals that Jesus’ obedience and movement were complete. He came from the Father with a particular purpose, he returned to the Father in completion of that purpose. The significance therefore lies in our empowerment, as people of faith, to fulfill the command of the risen and ascended Lord. He further explained that this event would have left the disciples dejected, confused and afraid. Nevertheless, they followed the instruction that they were to engage in prayer and wait, not only out of obedience, but because of desire. They desired the promised power from on high and all that goes with it. Their desire was holy and good, for God and the things of God. 5 | P a g e He noted that modern society and 21st century life had thrown up a people of great impatience and dismissiveness. An instant society, with instant products and instant expectations, resulting in a culture of impunity among us as a nation, in which deviants commit crimes and boldly walk away, without any fear of its consequences He then questioned what was our desire as a Church, as a City, and as a Nation of talented citizens, reminding that our parents knew those values, and maintained the difference between right and wrong. Yet, in the current environment, the educated elite, used right and wrong conveniently and were allowed to get away, reflecting a culture of impunity. He warned that if we continued to cheapen desire and trivialize passion, then we will lose the ability to recognize what is a desire of worth, which is the power of God. He also questioned our desire for our country, suggesting that it could be a desire for the adequate social and spiritual formation of our men and boys, as per the theme of the Synod. He reminded that males were the predominant group in most casualties and lamented their absence in church, schools and family life, making reference to our own St Michael School for Boys. He proposed the following desires, which were all achievable: • A special intensified ministry to men and boys that would sustain strong spiritual and social formation among the men and boys of our communities. He added that the intention must not to beat down males, but to provide inspiration and drive. He also took the take the opportunity to salute those persons working to transform banditry and gangster life into agricultural production. • To make the required intervention to restore balance to our overburdened and heavily challenged arm of the State? • A plan for our young men of the church, of the communities and of the nation, as obtained in every civilized society. • A strategy of consensus building as a means of forging unity in decision making in our country.

Bharrat Jagdeo General Editors: David Dabydeen & Lynne Macedo Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald 3 4 SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Raleigh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.

    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

    Who Was Bishop Samuel Seabury? by the Rev

    Who was Bishop Samuel Seabury? By The Rev. Jay Cayanyang Eternal God, you blessed your servant Samuel Seabury with the gift of perseverance to renew the Anglican inheritance in North America: Grant that, joined together in unity with our bishops and nourished by your holy Sacraments, we proclaim the Gospel of redemption with apostolic zeal; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Samuel Seabury was born on November 30, 1729, in North Groton, Connecticut (present day Ledyard and near Gales Ferry where Bishop Seabury Anglican Church is located). His father, also known by the same name, was the local Congregational minister. Shortly after Seabury was born, his father resigned his pastorate to pursue Holy Orders in the Church of England. While his father was away, Seabury’s mother, Abigail died. After ordination, his father returned to minister in New London, Connecticut under the banner of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Later, the elder Seabury remarried and moved to an assignment in Hempstead, Long Island where under his father’s tutelage as young boy, Samuel Seabury and his brother Caleb prepared for college. As such, Samuel Seabury grew up in home a life that was greatly shaped church life and the Book of Common Prayer. Samuel Seabury studied at Yale College and afterwards returned home to Long Island to study medicine and assist his father in a nearby town as a catechist. Eventually, through the encouragement and support of his father, he went on for further study in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Galatians 6:14 Message from Fr Andrew Murphy SSC (Tel.: 07920 596990) Corpus Christi and Petertide My friends in Christ, the beginning and the end of this coming month of June see two important liturgy days, firstly Corpus Christi and the second we call Petertide or Peter’s tide being the Sunday nearest to 29th June which is the festival day of SS Peter and Paul. At Corpus Christi, meaning the body and blood of Christ, we celeb- rate His presence in the Eucharist, normally four days after Pentecost but nowadays sometimes on the following Sunday. The Petertide season in- cludes the days before and around that feast and is special in the Anglican calendar for it is in the days around then that most deacons and priests are ordained into the church. The two feasts are not unconnected, for it is only ordained priests who can celebrate Mass and consecrate the sac- red bread and wine which becomes Christ’s body and blood. When Christ handed Peter the footsteps of St Peter who himself wrestled with fol- keys of Heaven, and declared that he was “the lowing Christ and later endured hardships to be rock” upon which his church was to be built, he faithful to his master.

Rev’d Errol Brooks, the Bishop of North Eastern Caribbean and Aruba (NECA). The Bishop of the host Diocese, the Rt. Rev’d Claude Berkley, joined the Senior Bishop in extending welcome to the Diocese and the Synod.
