    The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation Written by Dr

    Episcopal Dissidents, African Allies: The Anglican Communion and the Globalization of Dissent Dissertation written by Dr. Miranda K. Hassett [email protected] For the Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill May 2004 Please do not cite in print without author’s consent. A revised and shortened version of this text is under contract for publication with Princeton University Press. Reproduced online through http://anglicanhistory.org, January 2006. 1 Abstract In recent years, conservative dissidents within the Episcopal Church in the United States have felt alienated by the Episcopal Church’s liberal policies, especially acceptance of homosexuality. In response, these Episcopal dissidents have increasingly sought and received help and support from Anglican bishops in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America). In this dissertation, the development and dynamics of these transnational Anglican alliances are examined anthropologically, on the basis of ethnographic research with Anglican communities involved in such relationships in Uganda and the United States. These relationships are often explained, by both supporters and critics, through narratives of increased global conflict between liberal Northern Christianity and conservative Southern Christianity (with which conservative Northerners are said to have a natural affinity). This work questions such narratives, first, by presenting the situations, concerns, and motives of the Northern and Southern Anglicans involved and calling into question assumptions

We have come a long way since Pope Benedict XVI brought us here on January 1, 2012. And we have much to do as we live into the holy calling of “Anglicanorum Coetibus.” (Pictured: The Holy Father greets Fr. Charles Hough IV, his wife Lindsay and Fr. Paul Manning to lead daughter Caroline, along with other members of the Ordinariate during our Our Fall Assembly pilgrimage in February 2014). Below: St. Timothy’s Fort Worth Palm Sunday.

Church growth experts have noted the importance of the personal invitation from family or friends for bringing prospective members to the door. This is especially true for us, because the Ordinariate is not that well known.

  • Rolling up Our Sleeves

    Rolling up Our Sleeves

    ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES taking the pulse of our witness as traditional orthodox Anglicans by the Rt. Rev. Paul C. Hewett, SSC, Bishop of the Diocese of the Holy Cross Lent 2009 We look with gratitude to our inheritance from Christian Europe, and may reasonably ask whether this great civilization has a founder. If anyone could be said to have assembled, from the wreckage of the collapsed Roman Empire, the beginnings of a new Christian civilization, surely it is Benedict of Nursia in the 6th century, the Father of Western monasticism. The Benedictines build Christian Europe, and much of the Church in England. But the foundations of Christian civilization in the British Isles are laid by the Celtic Church from the first century A.D. The British Church joins forces with the Benedictines and converts the Anglo-Saxon invaders in the 7th century. King Alfred, in the 9th century, the only English king called “the Great,” is among their progeny. He saves Anglo-Saxon-Celtic Christianity from the barbarian Danes, and sets the stage for their conversion to Christ. He strengthens the Church and lays the foundation for what is to become the British Empire, an Empire so great that its language is today spoken throughout the world. The English language is distilled through centuries of worship with the Book of Common Prayer and the King James Bible, priceless gifts to the rest of the Body. When English spirituality, culture and freedom are threatened in our time by gnostic barbarism in Germany, God raises up Winston Churchill to save the Church and our civilization.

Director: Kurt Martens, J.C.D. The apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus is a response to petitions from groups of Anglicans to be received into communion with the Holy See in a corporate manner. This dissertation examines the origin of such petitions, the development of the principles guiding the response, and an analysis of the legislation. Chapter One traces the origins of corporate reunion from Newman to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in particular the Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom and the Malines Conversations. Chapter Two discusses the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council with respect to ecumenism and Anglicanism. It examines the establishment of relations between Anglicans and the Holy See, the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), and proposals for the corporate reunion of Anglicans in the Diocese of Amritsar, the United States, the Diocese of Matabeleland, and the United Kingdom. Chapter Three considers the overtures made by groups of Anglicans from 2005 to 2009. This includes the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Church of England bishops, and the Traditional Anglican Communion.

    2011 Dues Notice Please Remember to Pay Your $15 Annual Dues by the Due Date, 30 January

    2011 Dues Notice Please Remember to Pay your $15 Annual Dues by the Due Date, 30 January. Your dues notice is enclosed; please send payment (in U.S. dollars) to Mr. Ruff in the envelope provided. For convenience, you may pay in advance for any number of years at the current rate. You will be relieved of annual dues payments and may be protected from rate increases depending on when they occur and how far into the future you pay. Life Membership, available for $360 ($250 for those 65 and over), is even more convenient. Either of these options will reduce your clerical work and is conveniently available on the regular, pink dues form. Tax-deductible donations to the general fund may be made now or at any time; these and special purpose donations are tax-deductible, but dues and goods are not. The words of the Holy Bible apply to us, our behavior, and our circumstances. The breadth of the Bible and its widely applicable text have made the Good Book valuable as a resource for the troubled, for decision making, for meditation, and as a supplement to prayer when we are joyful, thankful, doubting, vexed, or pondering serious problems. In the Gospel we read, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given” (S. Matt. xiii: 12), puzzling, but perhaps referring to caring for others and using our talents, more than to money and material assets. The same principle applies to giving money away and to receiving it. Those members who have been designated Benefactors do not stop giving because of their achievement; they continue to be generous.

    The Philadelphia Ordinariate Post A Newsletter of the Church of St Michael the Archangel www.ordinariatephiladelphia.org 6611 Ardleigh Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19119 215-247-1092 May, 2014 Dear Parishioners and Friends, Which would you rather have, mercy or virtue? My guess is that most of us would say virtue, if we had to choose. Virtue would mean that we did not need mercy. Mercy, on the other hand, would mean that we had done something wrong and needed the grace of mercy from someone else (God, if not also someone on earth). We do not like to be in need, and that includes the need for mercy. Nor do we like to be in another's debt. This is an- other way of saying that we would rather have no need of being forgiven than actually be forgiven. This means (uncomfortably) that we would rather be the Pharisee in Jesus' parable than the publican. While this is understandable on a certain level, it is also a prob- lem. The reality is that we can never be in the position where we do not need mercy and forgiveness. While we may withstand some tempta- tions, we will always have sin in our past, and continue to commit small sins if not big ones. This puts us at God's mercy. Since His mercy is in- finitely more abundant than our need for mercy, this is not in principle a problem. What is a problem is our inclination to refuse His mercy, pre- ferring to assert our virtue and thus that we do not really need His mercy.

    The Certain Trumpet (Winter 2011) 1 The Certain Trumpet Winter 2011 by Wallace H. Spaulding DIFFERING TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN COMMUNION (TAC) REACTIONS TO ROMAN INCLUSION IN THE TAC’S CANADIAN AFFILIATE, the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (ACCC), the top leaders of which generally agreed to follow through on the decision to go under Roman Catholic jurisdiction (see The Certain Trumpet Summer 2010 ), dissenters have had to take the initiative in opting out of the prospective Anglican Ordinariate approved by Pope Benedict and the Vatican in late 2009. So far, two ACCC congregations in British Columbia (Holy Cross, Nanaimo, and St. Columba’s, Halfmoon Bay) and five in Ontario (St. Mary’s, Chapleau; St. Athanasius’, Belleville; St. John’s, Parry Sound; Holy Trinity and St. Jude’s, Thunder Bay; and Resurrection, Windsor) have done so. In addition, three splinter congregations have been formed to oppose the move (St. Bride’s, from St. Patrick’s, Pitt Meadows, BC; St. Mark’s, from St. John’s Cathedral, Victoria; and St. Matthew’s, from Annunciation Cathedral, Ottawa). All of these are small, having less than 50 communicants each, but so are the ACCC’s 30 remaining congregations (listed in its February 2011 Diocesan Calendar ). And this latter majority group is estimated by our Canadian correspondent to number less than 500 communicants. Each of the dissenting congregations has become affiliated with a US–based Continuing Church jurisdiction: Holy Cross and St. Mark’s with the Anglican Province of Christ the King (APCK), and the other eight with the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), which in turn is in communion with the APCK.
