Journal 2017 JOURNAL of the PROCEEDINGS of the FIFTY-FIFTH GENERAL COUNCIL of the REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH held at EMBASSY SUITES DFW NORTH DALLAS, TEXAS Commencing Wednesday, June 14, 2017 and Ending Friday, June 16, 2017 Published by Order of the General Council 2017 The 55th General Council NOTICE The FIFTY-SIXTH GENERAL COUNCIL of the Reformed Episcopal Church will be held in Charleston, South Carolina. Internal Revenue Service Number of the Reformed Episcopal Church is 1663 1 2017 The 55th General Council 2 2017 The 55th General Council DECLARATION of PRINCIPLES Of the REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH Adopted, December 2, 1873 I. The Reformed Episcopal Church, holding “the faith once delivered unto the saints,” declares its belief in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, and the sole Rule of Faith and Practice; in the Creed “Commonly called the Apostles’ Creed;” in the Divine institution of the Sacraments of Baptism and the LORD’S Supper; and in the doctrines of grace substantially as they are set forth in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion. II. This Church recognizes and adheres to Episcopacy, not as of Divine right, but as a very ancient and desirable form of Church policy. III. This Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall not be imperative or repressive of freedom in prayer, accepts The Book of Common Prayer, as it was revised, proposed, and recommended for use by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, A.D. 1785, reserving full liberty to alter, abridge, enlarge, and amend the same, as may seem most conducive to the edification of the people, “provided that the substance of the faith be kept entire.” IV. This Church condemns and rejects the following erroneous and strange doctrines as contrary to God’s Word: First, That the Church of Christ exists only in one order or form of ecclesiastical polity; Second, That Christian Ministers are “Priests” in another sense than that in which all believers are “a royal priesthood:” Third, That the LORD’S Table is an altar on which the oblation of the Body and Blood of Christ is offered anew to the Father: Fourth, That the Presence of Christ in the LORD’s Supper is a presence in the elements of Bread and Wine: Fifth, That Regeneration is inseparably connected with Baptism. 3 2017 The 55th General Council MISSION STATEMENT of the REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH Built upon the foundation of the authoritative Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, the Reformed Episcopal Church sets her highest priority on biblical worship and declares her commitment to the work of evangelism, the bold and unadulterated proclamation of salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 8:4). In keeping the faith once delivered to the saints, the Reformed Episcopal Church, however, does not believe evangelism to be the end, but rather the beginning of her divinely given vocation. In addition to being evangelical, she is deeply committed to discipleship, the work of training evangelized men and women in Christian living (St. Matthew 28:20). When the Gospel is truly proclaimed and the mercies of God are made known, redeemed men and women must be led to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice, which is their spiritual service (Romans 12:1). Thus, the Reformed Episcopal Church understands the Christian life to be necessarily corporate. The Gospel call of salvation is not only to a savior, but also to a visible communion (I Cor.12:27) which, being indwelt by Christ's Spirit, transcends both temporal and geographic bounds. Therefore, the Reformed Episcopal Church is creedal, following the historic catholic faith as it was confessed by the early undivided Church in the Apostles' (A.D. 150), Nicene (A.D. 325) and Athanasian Creeds (circa. A.D. 401); sacramental, practicing the divinely ordained sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as outward and visible signs of His inward and spiritual grace; liturgical, using the historic Book of Common Prayer; and Episcopal, finding unity with the Church of the earliest Christian eras through submission to the government of godly bishops. In this fashion, by embracing the broad base of doctrine and practice inherent in apostolic Christianity received by the Church of the English Reformation and expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Reformed Episcopal Church has a foundation for effective ministry in the name of Christ to a world which is lost and dying without Him.

IT was predicted of the Great Philanthropist, "He shall tum the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of children to their fathers." The writer seeks to contribute something toward the development of such mutual afiection between the members of the Pope Family. He has found his own heart tenderly drawn toward all whose names he has registered and whose biographies he has at­ tempted to write. The dead are his own, whose graves he has sought to strew with the tributes of love ; the living are his own, every one of whose careers he now watches with strong interest. He has given a large part of bis recreation hours and vacation time for eight years to the gathering of materials for the work ; written hundreds of letters ; examined a great many deeds and wills, town journals, church registers, and family records ; visited numerous persons and places, and pored over a large number of histories of towns and families ; and has gathered here the items and entries thus discovered.

  • Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration
    Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration and Renewal of the Undivided Church: Through a renewed Catholicity – Dublin, Ireland – March 2018 The Polish National Catholic Church and the Declaration and Union of Scranton by the Very Rev. Robert M. Nemkovich Jr. The Polish National Catholic Church promulgated the Declaration of Scranton in 2008 to preserve true and genuine Old Catholicism and allow for a Union of Churches that would be a beacon for and home to people of all nations who aspire to union with the pristine faith of the undivided Church. The Declaration of Scranton “is modeled heavily on the 1889 Declaration of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches. This is true not only in its content, but also in the reason for its coming to fruition.”1 The Polish National Catholic Church to this day holds the Declaration of Utrecht as a normative document of faith. To understand the origins of the Declaration of Utrecht we must look back not only to the origin of the Old Catholic Movement as a response to the First Vatican Council but to the very see of Utrecht itself. “The bishopric of Utrecht, which until the sixteenth century had been the only bishopric in what is now Dutch territory, was founded by St. Willibrord, an English missionary bishop from Yorkshire.”2 Willibrord was consecrated in Rome by Pope Sergius I in 696, given the pallium of an archbishop and given the see of Utrecht by Pepin, the Mayor of the Palace of the Merovingian dynasty. Utrecht became under Willibrord the ecclesiastical capital of the Northern Netherlands.

  • Strenna 2019
    Strenna 2019 «So that my joy may be in you » (Jn 15,11) HOLINESS FOR YOU TOO My Dear Brothers and Sisters, my Dear Salesian Family, Continuing our century-old tradition, at the beginning of this New Year 2019 I address myself to each one of you, in every part of the “Salesian world” that as the Salesian Family we constitute in more than 140 countries. I do so while giving a commentary on a subject very familiar to us, with a title taken directly from the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis on the call to holiness in today’s world: Gaudete et Exsultate1. In choosing this subject and this title I want to translate into our own language and in the light of our charismatic sensitivity the strong appeal to holiness that Pope Francis has addressed to the whole Church.2 Therefore I want to emphasise those points that are typically “our own” in the context of our Salesian spirituality, those shared by all the 31 groups of our Salesian Family as the charismatic inheritance received from the Holy Spirit through/by means of our beloved Father Don Bosco, who will certainly help us to live our lives with the same deep joy that comes from the Lord: «So that my joy may be in you » (Jn 15,11). To whom are these words addressed? I can assure you that they are addressed to everyone. To all of you my dear Salesian confreres SDB. To all of you sisters and brothers of the various different congregations and institutes of consecrated and lay life in our Salesian Family.

  • Christ- Katholischer Kirche" in Deutschland
    Erstmals Bischofsweihe bei "Christ- Katholischer Kirche" in Deutschland Sie haben sich von den Altkatholiken abgespalten, weil sie gegen die Ordination von Frauen und die Segnung gleichgeschlechtlicher Partnerschaften sind: Jetzt bekommt die "Christ-Katholische Kirche" ihre ersten Bischöfe. Die 2012 in München gegründete "Christ-Katholische Kirche" (CKK) in Deutschland erhält erstmals einen Bischof und einen Weihbischof. Die Weihe, die durch Bischöfe "befreundeter Kirchen" vorgenommen wird, findet am 19. Mai in der Schlossparkhalle im unterfränkischen Urspringen statt. Das teilte die Kirche im oberbayerischen Einsbach mit. Mit diesem Schritt werde die seit sieben Jahren laufende Aufbauphase abgeschlossen. Zum Bischof geweiht wird der bisherige Generalvikar Klaus Mass. Er wurde 1970 in Verden an der Aller geboren und trat nach dem Abitur in den Karmeliterorden ein. Es folgte ein Studium der katholischen Theologie in Würzburg und Rom sowie später auch der altkatholischen Theologie in Bonn. Nach seiner Priesterweihe 2000 war er für die Priesterausbildung der unbeschuhten Karmeliten in Deutschland zuständig. Aufgrund seiner Eheschließung wechselte Mass in die altkatholische Kirche. 2012 wurde der Vater zweier Kinder Generalvikar der neuen CKK. Als Weihbischof ist Thomas Doell vorgesehen. Der Sohn eines Landwirts aus Unterfranken studierte ebenfalls Theologie in Würzburg und trat dann die altkatholische Kirche ein. Er ist verheiratet und Vater zweier erwachsener Kinder. Starke Impulse für Mission und Gemeindeaufbau habe er durch den US- Amerikaner Robert H. Schuller (Hour of Power) erhalten, heißt es. Mass und Doell seien von ersten Synode der Kirche, die im November 2018 in München tagte, in die jeweiligen Ämter gewählt worden. Die CKK lehnt die 1996 bei den Altkatholiken eingeführte Ordination von Frauen zum Priesteramt sowie die seit einigen Jahren praktizierte Segnung von gleichgeschlechtlichen Partnerschaften ab.

A Sufficiently Republican Church: George David Cummins and the Reformed Episcopalians in 1873 Abstract In 1873 George David Cummins, the assistant bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Kentucky, rocked the complacency of the Protestant Episcopal Church by resigning his Kentucky episcopate and founding an entirely new Episcopal denomination, the Reformed Episcopal Church. Schismatic movements in American religion are hardly a novelty. Still, Cummins and his movement occupy a peculiar position in both the history of American religion and the cultural history of the Gilded Age. Unlike the wave of church schisms before the Civil War, the Reformed Episcopal schism of 1873 had no clear relation to sectional issues.
