Spring 2015 PT 641: Leading Worship in the Prayer Book Tradition Credits: 3 Meets: Thursdays – 9:20Am – 12Noon the Rev Spring 2015 PT 641: Leading Worship in the Prayer Book Tradition Credits: 3 Meets: Thursdays – 9:20am – 12Noon The Rev. Dr. Henry L. Thompson III (“Laurie”) 2310 Meadow Vue Drive 724 457-2244 [h] 601-3522 [c] 266-3838 [w] [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will equip students to lead and prepare worship in the living Prayer Book Tradition here in North America with pastoral, theological, effective and missional coherence. The Book of Common Prayer 1979 will be our primary text, read together with the 1662 BCP. We will be looking as well at non-American Anglican sources as they pertain to the topic at hand in order to begin to engage the student in the broader tradition in which they will serve. The shape, rationale and logic of each service in the Prayer Book will be presented in a “hands on” style with an emphasis on clarity of theological proclamation and formation through faithful liturgical practice. Students from Non-Anglican traditions will get exposure to the historic catholic and reformation framework of the Prayer Book tradition, but assignments will be tailored to fit their own traditions and context. COURSE GOALS-OBJECTIVES-OUTCOMES Goals: To learn to plan biblically sound, aesthetically effective and theologically focused liturgical worship according to the Prayer Book in a broad range of circumstances. To understand the rubrical choices available for leading worship and make liturgical choices thoughtfully. To grasp the value of the “admirable simplicity” in Prayer Book worship. Objectives: In order to achieve the course goals, students will be able to and be equipped to: Lead worship in the Anglican Prayer Book tradition using the BCP 1979 thoughtfully; also use other resources competently (Hymnal, Book of Occasional Services, and Lesser Feasts and Fasts). Explain the scope and shape of the BCP 1979 and understand some of its departures from the BCP 1662. Use the liturgical calendar effectively in planning, especially understanding a “proper”. Understand the literary structure of a collect & its central role in Prayer Book schema. Understand the basic history and practice of vestiture, church architecture, and appointments. Grasp the form, structure and theological thrust of the Prayer Book offices and services. Demonstrate an understanding of the liturgical choices available and have begun to develop balanced criteria for making those choices. Set up the holy table and surrounding areas for the whole range of liturgical worship (Eucharist, Choir offices, and Festal offices). Accompany the BCP service with manual acts and ceremonial appropriate to the context. Develop a personal glossary of liturgical terms Outcomes: In a more enduring sense, the students will: Recognize and identify the biblical theology evident in his/her work: Value and promote the liturgical tradition as a catechetical “marination” process. Be able to articulate an Anglican understanding of biblical, historical, systematic, and pastoral theology: Understand the Story and be able to articulate how liturgy and the church calendar point to the Story and our place in the Story. Be able to effectively communicate the Christian message to a diversity of people in order to advance the mission of God: Allow the liturgy to do its work. Be prepared to effectively lead a variety of Christian communities: Develop sound liturgical instincts (simplicity, clarity of focus, catechetical awareness).

Attendance & prepared class participation combined with your glossary of terms (20 points). 2. Four Theological Reflection Papers [each worth ten points; 40 in sum total]. 3. Four Rubrics quizzes (each worth five points, 20 in sum total] 4. Final Exam (20 points). Seniors should plan to take the exam early. EXPECTATIONS FOR WRITTEN WORK Four Theological Reflection Papers 1200-1500 words, double-spaced, font 12. (Please no longer!) Papers should be focused reflections integrating your own thought with the assigned subject and entering into conversation with it. Please note the outcome that the assignment is seeking to evaluate. Reflection Paper #1 (Due 2/8/2015) Having read the introductory material to the 1662 BCP, Massey Shepherd, and Clayton Morris, and as a pastor/presbyter-to-be, please comment on the proposition that “Bound volumes can no longer contain all that which the church needs to continue to live dynamically in the cosmos…. [I]n a world desperately in need of worship materials that speak to the dreams and aspirations of faithful Christians in a wide diversity of cultural circumstances, cyberspace is the best tool we have at hand.” What do you make of this assessment of the world’s need? What do you make of the assertion of a cyber solution? Compare and contrast this with Cranmer’s original vision as you read it in the 1662. 3 Outcome to be evaluated: To be able to articulate an Anglican understanding of biblical, historical, systematic, and pastoral theology: Understand the Story and be able to articulate how liturgy and the church calendar point to the Story and our place in the Story. Reflection Paper #2 (Due 2/15/2015) Prepare 4-sessions of Adult Education for the congregation St. Preyz Alot. Using what you have learned about collects (Invocation, Ascription, Petition, Aspiration and Mediation and/or Doxology), pick 4 collects from the BCP (1662 or 1979) that you can use to teach the Biblical narrative regarding Sin, Grace, Salvation, and Sanctification. Give your lesson plans explaining why you chose that collect, anything special about the collect, what you believe to be the biblical context/meaning for that collect, and what is the pastoral and theological implications of the prayer. Outcome to be evaluated: Be able to articulate an Anglican understanding of biblical, historical, systematic, and pastoral theology: Understand the Story and be able to articulate how liturgy and the church calendar point to the Story and our place in the Story Reflection Paper #3 (Due 3/22/2015) Anglicans historically have affirmed that “lex orandi, lex credendi.” Take two elements from the Eucharistic liturgy (either Prayers of the People, Confession/Absolution, or Eucharistic Rite) one from BCP 1979 Rite 2, and a parallel from one of the liturgies within the Global Anglican family (you might choose between New Zealand 1989, Kenya 2002, Melanesia 1973 or England Common Worship 2000). What is the same? What is different? What are the theological implications? What are the cultural implications as best you can tell, or what questions about such cultural differences does it raise? What can you affirm or learn from? What cautions do you have? (Grant LeMarquand does this very well (at much more length) in his article, so please focus and be curious.) Focus particularly on a close reading of a smaller portion so that you will not be making general comments about “style” alone. Outcome to be evaluated: Be prepared to effectively lead a variety of Christian communities: Develop sound liturgical instincts (simplicity, clarity of focus, catechetical awareness) Reflection Paper #4 (Due date 4/13/2015) Prepare a bulletin for the Easter Vigil service with baptism. Choose lessons, music and the sequence of events within the service (e.g.

  • Since You Asked... I Hear That Choral Evensong Is Being Revived in Some
    Since you asked... William Wunsch, organist and choirmaster at St. Nicholas Church in Encino, Calif., who also serves as the editor of The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians and was the editor of Wonder, Love, and Praise a supplement to The Hymnal 1982, responds: I hear that Choral Evensong is being revived in some Episcopal parishes. What is the history of Choral Evensong and its significance today? The Canonical Hours are daily times of prayer, historically offered in an orderly course eight times each day. As services apart from the Eucharist, these Daily Offices include psalms, canticles, antiphons, responsories, hymns, versicles and responses, readings, and prayers. Since 1549, with the first prayer book of the Anglican Communion, this cycle of eight offerings of daily prayer has been simplified and telescoped to form liturgies called Morning and Evening Prayer, or Matins and Evensong. This corporate worship, offered twice a day, includes the recitation of psalms, the reading of Scripture, the singing of canticles and prayer. A hymn may be sung after the collects. Choral Evensong is sung Evening Prayer; the choir sings the preces and responses, the psalmody, the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc dimittis) and an anthem while the congregation participates vicariously -- listening attentively to the choir’s and precentor’s offering of music and to the proclamation of the Scriptures. In the Daily Office, the church offers perpetual praise, thanksgiving and prayer to God. Time is sanctified by this continuous offering. In the Baptismal Covenant, we promise, with God’s help, to continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in these prayers.

  • Myth Or Reality? an Introduction to Common Prayer
    ATR/95:3 Myth or Reality? An Introduction to Common Prayer Richard Geoffrey Leggett* When I was growing up in the Episcopal Church in Colorado during the decades of the 1950s, the 1960s, and the 1970s, I knew that I was part of a global family that spoke a common language. This com- mon language linked us spiritually, spatially, and temporally. Our dic- tionary, our grammar, our thesaurus had but one name: The Book of Common Prayer. Wherever the Anglican tradition went, the Prayer Book followed. Then I grew up and went to seminary. There I lost my “first” na- iveté and learned that the myth of The Book of Common Prayer that had shaped my childhood and adolescence was just that: a mythical narrative that created an identity which was both true and untrue, a narrative that did not always bear up under closer scrutiny. To be sure there was, and continues to be, a recognizable litur- gical and spiritual tradition that bears the name “Anglican” and that shares a common practice of producing liturgical books that bear the name The Book of Common Prayer or something similar. But that tra- dition, despite its shared characteristics, also had real and significant differences that went beyond how we spelled the words. We are living in the midst of what some commentators call the “third” liturgical movement. The “first” liturgical movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century helped us recover a “us- able” past. The “second” liturgical movement of the postwar period took that past and developed rites that reenergized our communities and connected us to traditions and practices that predated the con- flicts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

  • The Catholic and Evangelical Origins of the Anglican Franciscans
    "The Catholic and Evangelical Origins of the Anglican Franciscans: how receptive ecumenism can work and where it might be leading us" Fr Thomas Matthew Sharp nTSSF SCP [email protected] – [email protected] Durham University – Newcastle Cathedral – Anglican Third Order Franciscans The reception of Roman liturgy into the Church of England was largely facilitated by the Anglican Franciscan communities and their disobedience (or flexible relationship with the spirit of the canons of the Church of England) and by their background both catholic and evangelical. They provide a model for receptive ecumenism within experimental communities and projects which can test elements of reception before their adoption into wider church structures. On the 13th of March 2013 as we sat eating dinner at Hilfield Friary, Brother Sam burst in. "We've got a new Pope," he shouted, "and his name's Francis!" Much laughter and a few cheers. And the voice of Brother Hugh cutting through it all: "He's not my Pope!" Ecumenical rubber meets the Anglican road. Today I want to offer the evolution and influence of SSF, in its sometimes ecumenically messy way, as fruit for the wider church as we attempt to grow together in unity. Defining Terms Before we begin, let us start with some terminology. I won't describe the Church of England as "protestant", partly because the meaning of the term is so contested within Anglicanism, but really because I want to avoid the term protestant being applied as "not catholic" or even worse "against what is catholic." I don't want, from the very start, to set the Church of England and the Church of Rome against one another conceptually.

  • Daily Office
    DAILY OFFICE Since the English Reformation, the Daily Office in Anglican churches has principally been the two daily services of Morning Prayer (sometimes called Mattins or Matins) and Evening Prayer (usually called Evensong, especially when celebrated chorally). Since the English Reformation, the Daily Office in Anglican churches has principally been the two daily services of Morning Prayer (sometimes called Mattins or Matins) and Evening Prayer (usually called Evensong, especially when celebrated chorally). These services are generally celebrated according to set forms contained in the various local editions of the Book of Common Prayer. The Daily Offices may be led either by clergy or lay people. In many Anglican provinces, clergy are required to pray the two main service The Anglican practice of saying daily morning and evening prayer derives from the pre-Reformation canonical hours, of which seven were required to be said in churches and by clergy daily: Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline. This practice derived from the earliest centuries of Christianity, and ultimately from the pre-Christian hours of prayer observed in the Jewish temple.[1] The first Book of Common Prayer (1549), which first presented the modern Anglican Daily Office services in essentially the same form as present. The first Book of Common Prayer of 1549[2] radically simplified this arrangement, combining the first three services of the day into a single service called Mattins and the latter two into a single service called Evensong (which, before the Reformation, was the English name for Vespers[3]). The rest were abolished. The second edition of the Book of Common Prayer (1552)[4] renamed these services to Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer, respectively, and also made some minor alterations, setting the pattern of daily Anglican worship which has been essentially unchanged in most cathedrals and other large churches ever since, continuing to the current edition of the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer of 1662.

  • 1 PHILIP LOBEL. Born 1956. TRANSCRIPT of OH 2055V This
    PHILIP LOBEL. Born 1956. TRANSCRIPT of OH 2055V This interview was recorded on September 20, 2015, for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program. The interviewer and videographer is Sue Boorman. The interview was transcribed by Susan Becker. ABSTRACT: This interview is part of a series about three football games known as the Hairy Bacon Bowl, which occurred during the early 1970s. Participants included University of Colorado students who identified with hippie culture and/or anti-war sentiment, versus campus and Boulder police officers. The games were seen as a way to address tensions between the two groups. The idea for the games originated with the Program Council office at CU. Phil Lobel became involved with Program Council in 1973 and then led the program from 1976 to 1979. He touches on the concept of the Hairy Bacon Bowl, but by the time he was Program Council director, the days of the Hairy Bacon Bowl competitions were almost over—he describes the change in culture at that time from the tense, seriousness of anti-war protests to a light-hearted one exemplified by the practice of streaking. Much of the interview focuses on the transformation of Program Council into one of the most successful student organizations of its kind in the country (culminating in Program Council winning the 1978 Billboard Magazine College Talent Buyer of the Year Award) and how Mr. Lobel’s work for Program Council paved the way to his long career in entertainment public relations. He provides a fascinating window into the workings of Program Council and into the music scene of the 1970s.
