PROFILE 2019 103 Country Club Drive Hendersonville, Tennessee Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a priest for this parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, one who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ ourLord. Amen. 1 Contents Our Vestry 3 Our Mission 3 Our Vision 4 Mercy Ministries 5 Worship 7 Christian Formation 10 Church Organizations 11 Fellowship 12 History 15 Parish Demographics & Finances 16 Our Community 20 Our Diocese 23 What we offer 24 2 Our Vestry Class of 2019 Class of 2020 Class of 2021 Mary Beth Buri Jerod Hollyfield Frank Ehrhardt Philip Cramer Bonnie Smith Debra Maggart Diane Johnson Bob Lindsey Tod Burnham (Senior Warden) (Junior Warden) Our Mission “To love and serve Jesus with sincere devotion all the days of our lives and proclaim the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of God.” • St. Joseph of Arimathea strives to be a place of worship for people from all walks of life, and to cultivate an open environment that formally and informally addresses the spiritual needs of the greater Hendersonville community. Through traditional liturgical worship, varied educational and formation opportunities, social gatherings, non-profit partnerships, and outreach ministries, we hope to provide a welcoming space to strengthen individual relationships with Christ and model the faith in our lives, providing stability and hospitality to all who seek it. Who we Are • St. Joseph of Arimathea is a community of Christians in Hendersonville Tennessee. We include members and worshippers from communities in Sumner, Davidson, and Robertson Counties. The majority of our members live in the cities of Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, or Gallatin. St. Joseph’s has taken the opportunity of this transition to conduct a more detailed self- study to inform us about who we are as a congregation, and who God is calling us to be. The Congregational Assessment Tool indicated that St. Joseph’s as a whole is in the “High Energy/ High Satisfaction” quadrant, known as the “transformational quadrant,” with a somewhat 3 higher degree of satisfaction than energy. Holy Cow consulting, who administered the parish survey, describes transformational congregations as churches that “are sources of new meaning and purpose for their members. They may also serve as mentors to other churches.” At the same time, their materials emphasize that: It is important to note that a congregation with scores in the Transformational Quadrant does not guarantee that it is growing, expanding, replicating or impacting. Instead the congregation must choose the right strategies. In fact, the shadow side of the Transformational Quadrant is that congregations can use the information to avoid taking further risks that growth may require. It takes as much work for a transformational congregation to continue to have that high energy and satisfaction, keeping the momentum moving forward, as it does for the reinvention congregation in the low energy and satisfaction quadrant to reinvent itself (https://holycowconsulting. com/2017/03/13/telling-the-story-of-the-transformational-congregation/). We believe that this description well describes the realities of the opportunities and challenges that are before St. Joseph’s. This is one reason we have opted for an expedited search and the placement of a Priest-in-Charge. We want to maintain our momentum and build upon our energy. The results indicated that St. Joseph’s is in a transitional phase and is ready, with capable and energetic leadership, to advance to the next stage of our life as a congregation. There is a strong desire to increase connection, involvement, and a deeper understanding of our spiritual gifts and talents. Our Vision • St. Joseph of Arimathea is committed to the historic Christian faith, in the Anglican tradition, and holds to it in a spirit of charity, generosity, and forbearance. We seek to bear witness in our community and to support one another in deepening our faith. In common with many congregations we look to the future and: • We envision a parish where individuals and families, children, youth, and young adults, as well as the middle aged and elderly will be sought out, welcomed, equipped, and nurtured in their faith. • We envision a parish reaching people with the gospel and incorporating them into the life of the church. • We envision a parish that provides increasing opportunities for Christian education and formation, within the parish as well as opportunities accessible to the community. 4 In addition, St. Joseph’s has discerned a higher-than-average desire to focus on the following elements of its identity: • We envision a parish and pastoral leadership (including clergy leadership) that has discerned and responded to the particular needs of individuals with special needs, such as those with mobility or other physical challenges, the sick, the home bound, the elderly, and the neurodiverse. • We envision a parish that has improved, updated, and possibly expanded its facilities to respond to the needs of the parish and the surrounding community. Mercy Ministries To love and serve Jesus... by loving and serving others. • The Mercy Ministries Commission at St. Joseph of Arimathea serves as a resource for members, raising awareness of needs in the parish as well as the broader community, and helps parishioners respond. The commission serves as a contact between congregation, clergy, and community, making each aware of the needs of the congregation and community. Service opportunities coordinated through Mercy Ministries include the Ministry of Drivers (taking members no longer able to drive to church, doctors’ appointments, picking up prescriptions, going shopping, etc.), The Visitation Ministry, where members visit shut-ins (members sometimes visit along with Eucharistic Visitors as well as on their own). Within the local community, we support the Hendersonville Samaritan Association, Goodlettsville Help Center and Room In The Inn Sunday lunch program. Within the state we support Camp MacLeod of The 2nd Base Foundation. Globally, we support our Companion Church, Jesús el Señor in Ecuador, which includes the opportunity to travel there yearly in conjunction with members from several other churches in the Diocese. Room in the Inn We have participated four times this past year: January, May, September and November. Members from St. Joseph help prepare lunch and take it to the Room In The Inn in Nashville, to serve 60-80 men and women. A number of members of St. Joseph participate in this outreach opportunity, both in food preparation and in delivery and serving. Church in the Yard Church in the Yard (CItY) is a ministry of Holy Trinity Church, Nashville. Each Sunday there is a service and meal provided for Nashville’s homeless community. Groups of parishioners from around the diocese participate in preparing and serving meals. St. Joseph’s became involved several years ago, initially as a particular outreach of the Daughters of the King 5 which has subsequently attracted the involvement of other members of the congregation. Jesús El Señor Jesus El Senor is our companion parish in the Diocese of Litoral, Ecuador. Litoral was once the companion Diocese of the Diocese of Tennessee. During that time a number of companion relationships were formed, including that of St. Joseph’s with Jesus El Senor. Over the years St. Joseph’s has helped to fund a preschool, and bakery as an enterprise to help support the community. In addition groups of parishioners have regularly traveled to Ecuador and aided our companion parish in construction projects and other improvements to their facility. We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this important relationship. The Samaritan Center & Goodlettsville Help Center St. Joseph continues to support both organizations with monthly donations to each: $2400 to Hendersonville Samaritan Association for the year and $600 to GHC. In February, we collected $743 on “Souper Bowl” Sunday to help support the Hendersonville Samaritan Association. At the Lessons and Carols, held at our church in Dec, the offering was designated for the Hendersonville Samaritan Center. We collected $1,568. St. Joseph also makes the peanut butter and jelly collection which is blessed on the third Sunday of the month and then taken to the Samaritan Association food pantry.

During the year, volunteers keep track of how much peanut butter and jelly we collected. We donated 142 pounds of jelly, 378 pounds of peanut butter, and 213 pounds of other foods. For five years now, St. Joseph’s has had an Angel Tree to supply children in need from names given to us from the Samaritan Association with gifts at Christmas. The 2nd Base Foundation St. Joseph of Arimathea partners with The 2nd Base foundation, a wilderness camp founded by parishioner Carl MacLeod and others in honor of Carl’s late son Mark MacLeod. The non profit and it’s camp, Camp MacLeod, work to ensure that children and youth who otherwise would not have access, will have the opportunity to camp. The camp works with other youth organizations such as the scouts, and church youth groups, among others, to see that this happens.

From 1838 to 1893, the Church in the old Indian Territory was committed to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, first of the Missionary Bishop of the Southwest, and later of the Bishop of Arkansas. The General Convention of the Church which convened at Philadelphia on August 19, 1835, created the Missionary District of the Southwest, which embraced the States of Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Republic of Texas. The Indian Territory, embracing what is today the State of Oklahoma, save the panhandle, and which had been created by a recent Act of Congress, was also included within this district. The Rev. Leonidas Polk,1 the young rector of St. Peter's Church at Columbia, Tennessee, was consecrated the first Missionary Bishop of the newly created district, on December 9, 1838, at Cincinnati, and served as such until October 16, 1841, when he became the initial Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana.

    “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia By Frances Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Liberty University 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One: Beyond Evangelical – Anglican Revivalists 14 Chapter Two: Beyond Tolerant – Spreading Evangelicalism 34 Chapter Three: Beyond Patriotic – Proponents of Liberty 55 Conclusion 69 Bibliography 77 ~ 1 ~ Introduction While preaching Devereux Jarratt’s funeral service, Francis Asbury described him thus: “He was a faithful and successful preacher. He had witnessed four or five periodical revivals of religion in his parish. When he began his labours, there was no other, that he knew of, evangelical minister in all the province!”1 However, at the time of his death, Jarratt would be one of a growing number of Evangelical Anglican ministers in the province of Virginia. Although Anglicanism remained the established church for the first twenty three years of Jarratt’s ministry, the Great Awakening forcefully brought the message of Evangelicalism to the colonies. As the American Revolution neared, new ideas about political and religious freedom arose, and Evangelical dissenters continued to grow in numbers. Into this scene stepped Jarratt, his friend Archibald McRobert, and his student Charles Clay. These three men would distinguish themselves from other Anglican clergymen by emulating the characteristics of the Great Awakening in their ministries, showing tolerance in their relationships with other religious groups, and providing support for American freedoms. Devereux Jarratt, Archibald McRobert, and Charles Clay all lived and mainly ministered to communities in the Piedmont area.

Williams 2 3 PREFACE St. James' Parish, then known as "Greeneville Parish, Greene Co.," was admitted to the Convention of the Diocese of Tennessee in 1848. A small group of faithful people had been organized in their labours for the ST. JAM ES' EPISCOPAL CHURCH Kingdom of Christ in Greeneville since 1842, but it was only through occa­ sional visiting priests that they had received the Services and Blessings of the Church during those six years. G·R EENE VILL E TENNESSEE The exact month and day that the building of the church commenced is not known, but it is certain that it was either during late 1848 or early 1849. The contract copied in the appendix of this booklet between the 1850 • 1950 builder and the first vestry was dated December 11, 1849, but this was an "Article to finish Episcopal Church." No reference is made therein to indicate when the building had been started nor how much it lacked being completed at that time. We are certain that the work was completed during the first half.

CHRIST AND CLASS: THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE SOUTH: 1760-1865 A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by RYAN LEE FLETCHER MAY 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Ryan Lee Fletcher All rights reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the emergence, practices, religious culture, expansion, and social role of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the American South from 1760 to 1865. The dissertation employs three major research methodologies by: (1) centralizing the role of social class in the Episcopal Church's history, (2) seriously considering the Episcopal Church's distinctive theology, and (3) quantifying the connections that linked the Episcopal Church to the South's economic structures prior to the Civil War. Archival research, periodicals, and published records related to the Protestant Episcopal Church provided the primary evidence used in the formulation of the dissertation's interpretations and conclusions.

    Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence and The

    THE RIGHT REVEREND STEPHEN ELLIOTT: POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1841-1866 by PAULETTE THOMPSON (Under the Direction of Anastatia Sims) ABSTRACT By the 1840s, the South’s religious and political convictions upheld slaveholders’ social and economic views. These convictions permeated worship services in Georgia via the ministries. At the onset of the Civil War, spirituality provided an essential source of Southern strength in both victory and defeat. As fortitude subsided, religion also played a prodigious role in perpetuating the Confederate experience. For a generation, its theology had endorsed the South’s social arrangement, asserted the morality of slavery, expunged Southern sins, and recruited the populace as God’s devout guardians of the institution. Sustained by the belief that they were God’s chosen people, Southerners rallied to the Confederate cause. Asserting great influence as the presiding Episcopal Bishop of the Confederacy, the Right Reverend Steven Elliott, Jr., aggressively participated in contriving a religious culture that discerned threats to Southern society as challenges to Christian civilization.
